i have witnessed unspeakable horrors . the horrors weren't undescribable or anything, i just had to sign an NDA

the key to understanding kermit is that line from the original muppet series where lesley anne warren is like "i thought you were the only person here who wasn't crazy" and kermits like "me not crazy? i hired the others" that guy loves chaos. he loves crazy shit, and he loves being the guy who has to handle the crazy shit. he deliberately creates these circumstances! he puts himself in these positions! and then he's like "i cant believe youre making me do this." anyway that frog is more human than any of us

classic behaviour for the manager of a community theatre company.

image embedded in tweet is a full bin labeled "Free Condoms, Be Safe Today!", with the aro flag on both the label and each of the condom packets, next to a full bin labeled "Free Water Balloons, Have Fun Today!", doing the same thing with the ace flag.

This is in fact a funny joke, but it's worth noting that that condoms are stronger than balloons. I say this as someone who has taken a 3 pound bag of water to the face that did not explode.

scribbles in ace diary: Do not... throw... water dicks... at ppl... unless... you... can cover... their... medical bills....

hey I hate to do this but we're in dire need of some help again. there's a recall on our car and to even have the issue looked at is going to cost $200 that we don't have. anything at all helps

Chess is inherently trans. It's in the rules. What do you think is happening when pawns reach the other side of the board?

i hate that troll has become a generic word for hater on the web. back in my day the only people worthy of the title were the guys managing to convince an entire forum thread that he really thought Samus Aran was a man called “Super Metroid”

can more people move over to cohost so i can stop using this site that loves to fuck all of its shit up because the CEO doesn't know how to use it and thinks he's the most important boy in the world

i love ending up in debt like every month currently due to the amount of unforseen high bills and still ongoing moving related costs, this is not stressful at all actually

kofi is here

we should do something about this whole Capitalism thang

never stop collecting little things that make you happy! rocks! buttons! feathers! flowers! sticks! bugs! bones! never stop!

how did a crow get a tumblr

Imagine being a tuna (Atlantic bluefin, Thunnus thynnus). You are a super predator, over six feet long and almost a ton. You are as beautiful and shiny and mercilessly efficient as a sports car, a true marvel of the sea. But you taste so fucking good

I agree with you and also think this is some kind of philosophical point. Cruel efficiency will not save you when you have soft delicious insides

i have good news for the person who wrote that tag and bad news for sports car drivers

it has been 26 years since the invention of the tabbed browser and websites are still making links that can't be middle-clicked to be opened in a new tab.

LOOKING AT YOU, TUMBLR. WHY CAN'T I MIDDLE CLICK THIS BUTTON?

My ideal street layout, wide sidewalk, wide bike lanes, and a 2 lane road that only allows streetcars on it. Yes I know this a bad drawing, I made it in a hurry

Are those (black circles w/ small things) supposed to be eg cafe chairs?

If so, they’re posing an accessibility issue due to blocking the sidewalks. Recommend your street layout allow for outdoor seating without blocking sidewalks.

Agreed. The foundation is sound, but there needs to be plenty of space to walk by seating without getting run over by a bike. Seating that hugs the walls of the nearby structure, and open storefronts that let people and services flow seamlessly between the commercial spaces and the sidewalks would be an improvement here.

I actually shrunk the seating to make there be more space for pedestrians

If the tracked area is for trams/streetcars only, may I recommend that you make it green track?

Not only does it add much needed greenery to public spaces, but it also reduces heat at street level, reduces the running noise of trams and dramatically improves water drainage at street level. It even goes as far as reducing the damage to the tracks caused by the material expanding and buckling in high heat by simply keeping the rails cooler and better displacing heat.

It doesn't even have to be grass! Different species of plant, local species or hardier, low-maintenance species can be used, and furthermore, it tends to reduce maintenance costs of the tracks, as soil is easier to dig up than concrete or tarmac, and so the tracks can be accessed and worked on easier.

Obviously, if you want the street to be able to accept buses along with trams/streetcars, or other rubber-tyred vehicles, then a hard surface is necessary, but if it's light rail only, then green track gets my vote.

Already made the edit, I hope you enjoy the green tracks and their flowers. This image is very green

Redoing the color of the bike path to make the street less fucking green

I love the idea of green tracks, but in this case they are not a good choice:

You still need the possibility for rubber based vehicles like Fire Cars or Ambulances to pass the streets.

You can't just put them on tracks because they need to be as mobile as possible to allow maximum efficency.

Okay removing the grass due to firecodes

Urbanism pride flag lol

we still need green so maybe put flowerpots in the middle of the sidewalk? Like rectangular ones that only take up maybe a fifth of the sidewalk width, and their intermittent, maybe one between every other set of trees.

The street planters have come in

Honestly if you want some good green space you should consider bioswales between the bike facilities and the "street", which would help replace some of the lost drainage/filtration function from de-greening the track

The bios have been swaled

@puddlebrigade Okay the tables have been moved and reduced to be more accessible and some planters have been moved

@professionalchaoticdumbass Green is back in fashion

The large dark green dots are trees

Is it too soon for this?

Yes, you aren’t even on the current version

Sidewalk seems a little tight tbh

Sidewalk widened. Goal achieved

@i-use-oxford-comma The benches have been added and @prawnhubpremium The dragon is opening a shop

We are making a good street

Or water fountains, public washrooms, outdoors tables, etc, etc

Notice how removing seating doesnt actually prevent people from sitting it just makes them uncomfortable and makes public spaces more hostile it doesnt actually work at controlling their behavior not till a pig comes along anyways and they'll harass a homeless person/teen whatever they're sitting on.

personally i would read the psychological thriller based on the horrific events that transpire at the fanfic retreat

Well, the LAST time a bunch of writers did that, it was 1816 and we got both Frankenstein and Modern Vampires and Wi-Fi out of it, so it will likely be an utterly miserable experience for those involved but the spite-based literature and genetrational trauma based technology we get out of it will be INCREDIBLE.

One giant keycap that fills the whole of a standard-sized keyboard?

Let’s go

idk how to explain how sad it is that on a post where i say "on earth" in big bold text a very large amount of people immediately think in an exclusively human fashion. like maybe im reading too much into it but it just reminds me of how common it is that humans will only think of humans as the "main" life form on earth.

me thinking of eyes ratios: well, spiders for one

me thinking of legs ratios: hm. spiders

Trying to decide whether or not fish and other aquatic beasts skew it enough to make up for all the four and six legged land animals... Also snakes...

#millipedesweep

...the Copepod is the single most abundant type of animal on earth, with an estimated population of 1,347,000,000,000,000,000,000, which is several degrees of magnitude more than any other species. All Copepods are crustaceans and have:

1. 4-to-12 legs, depending on species

2. 1-to-0 eyes, depending on species.

It's legs. There are many, many more legs than eyes.

... this is of course assuming that the poll is referring to anatomical legs and eyes, and not colloquial ones but even so, I think the sheer population of Copepods outweighs any contributions from needle-eyes and table-legs.

Yes, but what about all of the potatoes? There are a ton of potatoes on Earth and they can have many eyes and almost never have legs.

Then there's furniture, of course, which often has legs and rarely has eyes, but I'm pretty sure there are more potatoes than furniture.
