Okay fine I love this hellsite

@marithlizard / marithlizard.tumblr.com

even with those four numbers there are countless possible combinations good luck with figuring out which one is the right one you punk

*straightens calculator*

It’s pretty likely that it’s a four digit number, and as there are four digits chosen there, that means that there cannot be any repetition. This mean that there are:

n!/(n-4)! possible orders. As ‘n’ is 4 (number of digits available). 4!/0! which becomes 4x3x2x1/1 which simplifies to 24. That means that there are 24 possible combinations of codes. This would take you about two or three minutes to input all possible codes.

Unless an alarm goes off if you don’t get it right in 3 tries

*straightens calculator again*

Kick the fucking door in

well ‘technically’ the code is most likley 1970. statistically, a majority of people, when told to choose a 4 digit code will choose their birth year. and this key pad is obviously a few years old to put it nicely, thats most likley it. 

some sherlock holmes shit just went down over here

No, no, no. Don’t base your deductions of psychology. Let’s talk chemistry. When you first press a button, there’s more of the natural oils on your skin, and therefore it wears down the numbers on the keys faster. Obviously 0 is the first one, then. Try 0791 first.

Sherlock out.

woah.

it got better

and this is why the sherlock fandom could either rule the world or end it….

Close, but not quite, I think. People will almost always choose a number they can remember. What’s memorable about 0791? Try 0719 - a birthday, 19th of July. That is more likely.

Those deductions are great and all, but unnecessary.

The light is green.

The door is already open.

And that’s why we have a John Watson.

This is “top 10 favorite posts” level.

Omg, it’s actually on my dash! This post is like a fossil!

Idk if I’ve rebloged this before, but I’ll reblog this legend again

Smithsonian? I’ve found the quintessential Tumblr and Sherlock fandom post. Yes. I would consider it definitive.

Ahh it’s back.

Legend of a post. 10/10 recommend reblogging.

this post is on my dash I feel HONORED

Why did Tumblr stop doing stuff like this, it’s genuinely fascinating, and cute that we include our favorite media in things we do

Well. Since you asked. I was on tumblr as this post was being built in 2013. The height of superwholock. Which has, since then, been declared peak cringe. So people picked new fandoms to openly love in earnest. Which were also eventually declared cringe. Eventually the youth decided to cut out the middleman, and declared loving anything in earnest to be fully cringe. So it has been a really long time since the day to day users of tumblr have let any fandom create anything nearing the cultural phenomenon that was superwholock. And it is exactly those cultural phenomena that are needed to create posts like this.

So. What happened? Cringe culture happened.

Try and imagine what would happen if this post wasn’t the “sacred texts” only ever seen in screen shots and in pinterest. Try and imagine any current pop culture detective media fandom creating this post today. They’d be slaughtered for being cringe by the time (in this case) Sherlock was mentined.

But because this post is 10 years old and completely broke containment, it’s celebrated when it graces our dashes.

I blazed a small fandom event announcement.  Because I was genuinely excited to be part of a Big Bang for a wonderful movie.  One of the first responses I got was “Why would you blaze this?” Because of genuine excitement. Because I wanted to celebrate the friends I’d met in the fandom To spread joy to people who might also like the content but hadn’t seen it yet.   The fact that that was genuinely not realized made me sad.  I love thing, I celebrate thing.   I’m too old for cringe.  Cringe is dead.  Love what you love.  Enjoy the small things in life, it’s too short to do otherwise.

if anyone wants to see when they signed up for tumblr, visit the above post. it displays your registration timestamp when you view the post itself, but when you reblog it, it’ll copy that timestamp.

that blog is a little bit of chaotic tumblr magic i built for april fools a long time ago.

i consider this a sort of spell circle tbh

That’s a very neat bit of Tumblr magic, thank you!   (also good lord, I have apparently been here for nine years.)

Oh, wow. I’m not sure I have the emotional fortitude to watch this right away,. but it sounds like it could be very good indeed.  (And anything made by the director of Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinju is going to be worth paying attention to. )

I had to pull up this page to reference something and I still really like the exchange hee. I wish I had more excuses for Agatha to hang out with little kids

One of the things I like about Kidd Commander is the way this crew of traumatized queer badasses will always stop in the middle of whatever adventure they’re stumbling through to make time for any kid that wants to interact with them.  You can fight god later, right now someone wants you to play tea party.

i mean this in the gentlest way possible: you need to eat vegetables. you need to become comfortable with doing so. i do not care if you are a picky eater because of autism (hi, i used to be this person!), you need to find at least some vegetables you can eat. find a different way to prepare them. chances are you would like a vegetable you hate if you prepared it in a stew or roasted it with seasoning or included it as an ingredient in a recipe. just. please start eating better. potatoes and corn are not sufficient vegetables for a healthy diet.

I'm way more of a Plant Enjoyer now that I cook for myself sometimes (and lets be real, now that plants are my SpIn lol), but "sternly admonishing disabled people to try harder to do something their disability severely affects" is less than 0% helpful

My food aversions are relatively mild, and I still have episodes where I start gagging while eating a food I like because my body just decided to violently reject it.

Personally I've found that grain salads are awesome because you can chop up vegetables really fine and mix them with some chewy rice or whatever and its great and not repulsive at all. Or really any kind of stir-fry with rice or farro or other grain in it

This might be a long shot, but if vegetables are consistently intolerable for you, you might want to try sourcing them from a farmer's market or something like? I say this because 1) different cultivars of a vegetable can be really different and be way less offensive in texture, and 2) often it's not the vegetable itself that's the problem, but rather the fact that it's not fresh and is getting wilty and gross

Agreed that lecturing doesn’t help. Veggies _are_ important, but the energy cost to make them is real and so is the actual cost.  A single bell pepper is $2 where I live now, more than double what it was a couple of years ago. When every ingredient costs that much, healthy homemade meals are out of reach for a lot of people. @gonzohiccups My go-to method for quick veggies is to cut them into bite-size chunks and toss in a big bowl. Pour some olive oil in, sprinkle salt and pepper and stir till they’re coated. Dump them on a cookie sheet (put tinfoil on it first) and bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.  Works with almost every vegetable, and if you add in cut-up chicken or turkey you’ve got a complete meal and only one thing to wash.   If chopping up the veggies is too hard, you can buy a lot of things pre-chopped, either fresh in the produce section or frozen.

When I don’t have the energy for that, I keep one of those big bins of baby spinach in the fridge and try to eat a bowlful every day.  No prep needed because the leaves are pre-washed.  Croutons and salad dressing make it tasty enough to actually eat (as far as I’m concerned the point is to ingest vitamins, and anything that persuades me to do that is fair game.)

I was raised agnostic and tend to remain ambiguous on theological matters.

-but my house has a porch on the second story that affords me a terrific view of my neighborhood and the Colorado Front Range and I was partaking of some peace before the 4th Of July Finger-Loss Festivities begin, and I have had a

~*Spiritual Experience*~

I just watched my neighbor try to unload an actual wooden pallet that had to have been forklifted into the back of his insecurity pickup worth of fireworks.

Except that he does not have a forklift in his garage.

He does have so much sports memorabilia and cardboard boxes of unsold MLM Merchandise and patriotically themed camping gear and posters of women in bikinis and flags of suspect political organizations in his garage that there is only BARELY enough space for the fireworks and certainly none for his truck.

So he had to unload the individual boxes of recreational explosives from the back of his truck and stack them in the minimal space he had cleared by hand. This is a tedious and time-consuming process as this neighbor has purchased a wide variety of recreational and locally illegal explosives instead of many of just a few types, so the individual boxes are rather small.

He begins, and this is crucial to what happens next, by cutting apart the industrial-grade saran wrap his explosives dealer had so carefully wrapped his merchandise in, and discarded it unsecured on his lawn.

Where Outdoor Conditions sometimes happen.

Literally begging people to engage with media in a way that isn’t “strip layered characters into a one-size-fits-all babie personality that’s basically just the phrase ‘appley juice :3’ as a personality”

I don’t know how many times I have to say this but if you smooth away at every rough edge that makes a well written character interesting you’re always going to end up with the same smooth sphere. And if you’re only comfortable playing around with that sphere then either you never liked the original all that much or you should probably have a long think about how you consume with media and why this is the only way you seem able to do so

Look, if it’s not a sphere, it’s problematic innit.  Anyone who goes on about liking “rough edges” and “angles” and “texture” is glorifying toxic shapes.   Just the other day someone was fetish-mining in this fandom, asking for (ew!) polyhedrons!  We’ve all got “DNI topology freaks” in our profiles for a reason you know. 

This is Sprite. He lives at chez @fishteriously and he likes to Ascend. His favorite activities are going Up and being picky about the temperature of his food.

The only dancer I go to see at the strip club

I don't see anything wrong with Sprite Ascending, I was just wondering what kind of snake he is

What a wonderful video of a beautiful snake! Sprite is a very handsome green tree python.

Isn't he lovely? Here's a better picture of Sprite's face showing some classic green tree python features like the lower jaw pit line -

and, of course, a baby pic!!! He was indeed lemon before he was lime :3

Here's one more set of baby pics: When I first got the lil fella: so small!!!!

He used to enjoy posing nicely for exactly one (1) photo

and then, nope! we're all done!!!

i used this as a reaction image for a while in groupchats 😂

Sorry, Angel Dust, I have a new favorite pole dancer.  He’s so graceful!

Fuck that post going around saying "you can have coffee in your story without justifying it :) you don't need to explain everything :)" I want, no, I DEMAND a fully researched ethnobotanical paper on every single food item in your work, if you don't explain to me where did potatoes come from in your fantasy setting or don't explain how the industry of coffee works over interstellar distances with full detail you are doing things wrong and I personally hate you and I hate your stupid story, fuck you

Why are your stupid little wizards and knights eating potato stew in your dumb European middle ages fantasy world. Where did they get potatoes from. Where is the center of domestication of potatoes, do you have a fantasy Andean civilization? What are the social and economic consequences of having such a calorie rich crop in cold climates. I don't care about "themes" or "enemies to lovers with found family", I didn't ask about that. Where does your idiot space captain gets their shitty coffee from. Is it imported from Earth? Are there coffee growing worlds? Is it an alien species replacement with the same name? What are the social consequences of that? Don't try to change the subject, I'll stop pointing the gun when I want, I'm trying to have a conversation here,

My friend drove thru town with her baby and, more importantly, the baby Dracula book I had sent to her and it’s more hilarious than I could have imagined

There’s also a page where Jonathan is like “no wonder he wants to buy a new house!” When he sees the castle

In this house we bite and run

“No biting!” The theme here is that Dracula is a recalcitrant toddler. With a stuffed dragon

“That night, everyone slept very well.”

Perfection. Zero notes. I can’t believe I can send this to a baby and no one can stop me. Sorry, your baby is a new hilarious flavor of Dracula nerd now

Baby dracula book. I am bemused and delighted.

so you’re telling me that “stuck a feather in his hat and called it macaroni” would be like saying “wrote a G on his belt and called it gucci”

that’s…a pretty good analogy actually

US moron came to town

Hunting for some coochie

Wrote a G up on his belt

And this bitch called it Gucci
