PENNY DREADFUL 2.05 “Above the Vaulted Sky”

anonymous asked: penny dreadful + favourite hero?

the twitter thread the artist created after this was one of the best situations i have ever seen in my whole life:

Somebody give this ignoramus a piece of actual shark skin and tell him to rub his face with it, let him find out just how “smooth” sharks really are.

Somebody did. I use it as a pillowcase because it’s so smooth.

But buddy.

Shark skin feels exactly like sandpaper. It is made up of tiny teeth-like structures called placoid scales, also known as dermal denticles. These scales point towards the tail and help to reduce friction from surrounding water when the shark swims. … In the opposite direction, it feels very rough like sandpaper.

Buddy. It’s smooth. The link you sent me led to a website that described how smooth they are. I dunno, maybe you don’t know how to read?

this post is transcendent

You’re thinking of dolphins. Dolphins are the ones with smooth skin that feels like a rubber beach ball.

No, I’m thinking of sharks.

D-A-N-C-E: Not killing your plants

We return to our coverage of the domestic at-home non-sporting community event, and Terry, this one is shaping up to be a real doozy. Keeping plants alive is a complicated discipline. Too much water runs the risk of root rot; too little and our contestants will lose much more than 3/10 of a point—lives are at stake here. Tell us, Terry, how are things looking out there?

Well, Barry, we’re already seeing a lot of drainage hole leakage and yellowing leaves down here. The level of skill demonstrated in front-runner Greeny’s pruning is phenomenal, considering the pressure they’re under. Coming up in a close second place is Mildred, who still has to compete in the Pilea Peperomioides propagation element. But she's clearly not thinking about that right now!

Let’s quickly pan over to our other competitors…Barry, is that? Oh no. One of our competitors has pricked themself on a rogue cactus! Looks like that unhappy succulent didn’t want to be replanted after all. These gardeners could use a tip or two from the plantblr community. Then again, if you’re not in the process of killing at least one plant, do you really have plants?

Every time I see this I think “why would this duck want to feed fish?” and then I remember that I also occasionally want to feed fish so why wouldn’t the duck?

absolutely obsessed with the way Fahrenheit is legitimately a superior temperature measurements for day to day life than celsius (more precise, accessible, and understandable) but ppl refuse to admit to it bc they’re so caught up with the “silly americans refuse to convert to metric” gag

fun little info graph I found

[id: three identical number lines with 0 at one and and 100 at the other, labelled “Fahrenheit” “Celsius” and “Kelvin”. The ends are labelled, respectively:

Fahrenheit: Really cold outside - Really hot outside Celsius: Fairly cold outside - Dead Kelvin: Dead - Dead]

OP, it’s only more useful for Americans because you’re not regularly boiling water.

0° Celsius gets you ice. 100° Celsius gets you tea.

It’s a very simple system.

Genuinely fascinated by this world in which Americans don’t boil water on a regular basis and a thermometer is necessary to know whether water is frozen or boiling.

these are the same picture just on opposite sides of the spectrum

So I kept telling my husband to stop unfolding his clean clothes and leaving them on the floor, and he insisted he wasn’t doing any of that even though I had the evidence.

Just found the cat pulling t-shirts out of his drawer, which had been left slightly ajar. The culprit has escalated from trashcan crimes and is trying to cause upset in my marriage now.

I discovered the ruse a bit faster than the former but she ALSO pulls clothes off the hangers by trying to “climb” them so she can sit on the top closet shelf.

HOMEWRECKER

get her a cat tower, she wants to be tall

She HAS a cat tower it’s the tallest one the store had

And she has LOTS of toys and many snackies she has NO reason to cause mischief except her own bastardly motivation.

Y’ALL REMEMBER THESE DAMN 28,000 RUBBER DUCKS
