Featuring: this lovely Tomy game I only learned existed today!

Seriously though, want to discover water games you’ve likely never seen before? Paste this into your search engine of choice: ウォーターゲーム

It’s Water Game in Japanese, and it never fails to show me something new! Click around the sites some images are coming from, there’s some FASCINATING stuff to be found, and this game is just one of them.

With Tomy being based in Japan, a good amount of my research relies on poking around this way!

hi i do not like how some of you people have been using the term ‘egg’ lately. i also hate how you talk to gnc people. thank you.

so ‘egg’ refers to a trans person who has not yet realized they are trans and are in denial. usually one refers to themself in this context. i dont see this happening much to gnc women because its much normaler for a woman to be butch than for a man to be femme. but like.

if you know a man who is more femme. they may very well be a trans woman. and that is for them to figure out on their own. but yall see any man who isnt masc in the slightest bit and go ‘this must be a closeted trans woman’ no. shut up. being a trans woman is more than being a feminine male person. not only do i think youre not normal abt gnc men but i also think you are not normal about trans women.

its incredibly rude to call someone an egg for being gnc. what if we all minded our own business.

When I was in high school, a very close friend of mine used to call me an egg, and honestly? It made it harder to eventually realize that I was trans. I didn't feel safe exploring being a gnc man, because if I did, I would be called a girl, something that normally wouldn't bother me, except that it was coming from someone who was serious. They actually meant it, and that caused me to get defensive, and I never realized that I might actually be trans until after I graduated. So, if your friend wears nail polish, or complains about not being able to grow their hair out due to a uniform policy, don't tell them who they are. No matter what, actually, don't tell anybody who they are. Literally just let people be who they are. Even if you know who they are more than they do, you don't actually, so zip it.

when i identified as nonbinary, a lot of people joked that i was a trans guy in denial(i thought calling myself nonbinary was a safer way of being trans and that it meant i wasnt really trans, it was sucky) and it made it so much harder to tell people i was a guy, because i have a general attitude of “if you said i couldnt be this then im going to because fuck you!”

The Egg Prime Directive is a thing for a reason!! Never call someone an egg untill they have cracked, no matter how much you suspect they're an egg or how long it takes for then to crack!

Figuring out you're trans is a super personal and disorienting experience. It has to be your own realization or your brain will be like "outside attack, protect!!" You'll end up entrenching them even further and making cracking harder for them.

Certain words can change your brain forever and ever so you do have to be very careful about it.

China is on track to double its wind and solar energy capacity and hit its 2030 clean energy targets five years early, a new report has found. The country is expected to produce 1,200 gigwatts of solar and wind power by 2025 if all prospective plants are built and commissioned, according to the study from the non profit Global Energy Monitor. Solar capacity in China is now greater than the rest of the world combined. Its onshore and offshore wind capacity has doubled since 2017, and is roughly equal to the combined total of the other top seven countries, according to the report.[...]
“China is rapidly and successfully scaling up its deployment of renewable power and has become the largest investor into renewables globally. This is both a cause and consequence of rapidly falling costs of renewable energy as compared to coal power,” he said.

Today, one of my second graders was working on shape name recognition, and we got to this picture of a pyramid shape with a wide-ish base. When he saw it, his eyes lit up and he turned to me with a huge grin on his face, pointed at it, and said "When the teacher forgets to assign homework" before bursting out into hysterics, covering his mouth and giggling. I don't understand what happened except this kid CLEARLY knows about the strong comedic and memeable value of mathematical shapes and emotions that I, an old millennial, cannot comprehend I did, however, try to recreate this moment as the meme this child must have seen in his head

maybe he was thinking of the dancing triangle meme??

i have seen this gif with that exact caption before. this is absolutely the one he was thinking of

That kid saw one of the simplest geometric shapes and said that's blorbo from my memes 👍

[ID: a tiktok that says "my beige flag is that I genuinely enjoy having surgery. any surgery. I just think it's fun. anesthesia reminds me of teleporting (whimsical). I like the hot air they blow under your blanket. It makes me feel like i'm being experimented on in a lab by scientists (very enjoyable). When people try to argue against universal healthcare by saying people would start getting surgery recreationally they're talking about me." End ID]

Tumblr is so funny because you can make a post like "hey do not mix bleach and vinegar in your cleaning, you'll make chlorine gas and you do not want to make chlorine gas. It is dangerous to mix these two specific chemicals together", and the comments are like

"Um vinegar isn't dangerous?? My mom cleans things with vinegar all the time and we have never had lung issues. White people are insane." (<- does not use bleach, missing the point)

"OH MY GOD BLEACH IS CHLORINE GAS? NOBODY EVER TOLD ME I'VE BEEN CLEANING WITH BLEACH MY WHOLE LIFE, I WILL DIE." (<- has literally never used vinegar in cleaning, and never mixed the two, missing the point)

"This is just stupid fearmongering, we use bleach and vinegar to wash the floors all the time, OP is lying." (<- does not actually know what "vinegar" is, and is confusing the word for something else)

"Yeah this is true enough but also keep in mind that this kind of household cleaning product chlorine gas is too weak and unreliable to use for domestic terrorism purposes." (<- raises concerns, but potentially has a point)
