my friends r so talented. rb if ur friends are talented

hey everyone its april fools. but dont worry i dont have anything planned. just going to sit here and...

I LIED !!!! GET PRANKED

POST BELOW ME GET FUCKING WET

worth watching for the end

yo what tHE FUCK ¡

Interesting fact these two are playing but they are using play behaviors of their own species so they dont really “match up”!

Dog - is “bowing” and using open mouth “bites” as forms of play

“Play fight with me!”

Cat - is giving the little paw bats they use when playing with kittens

“Cute kittens get booped!”

They are both trying to engage the other in a playful way but not understanding the others responce.

The dog is like “you smack so no play? but not hard smack and no bad noise so not angry?”

The cat is like “why you jump around? open mouth but no chomp? no hiss so is okay?”

And then they sort of settle with a kind of communal grooming gesture they both understand!

Dog: no play? okay i lay… we calm now friend!

Cat: sad? no play? is ok i luv u weird kitten!

I like how the dog recognizes that the cat is getting a little upset when the dog gets a little too energetic (her ears are halfway back and her tail is lashing); he immediately settles down on the ground and waits for her to make the next move. Which she does, because she’s comfortable again. This is absolutely a classic example of competing body language in cats and dogs, but also a really good look at how they can learn to read each other.

A cyanometer is a device used to measure the intensity of blue in the sky, often used in meteorology and atmospheric studies. It typically consists of a series of blue color patches or a color gradient, allowing the user to compare the sky’s color to these reference colors.

Do you like the wheel of the sky

Well I like that it doesn't take 5 minutes to scroll past.

more people need to actually pick a side

yall need to pay attention to your surroundings more

When are you freezing cheese?!

???I'm not???

Thawed cheese? As opposed to???

ok maybe there's some more common word for it, but I've only ever heard it as thawing

you mean MELT??? as in MELTED CHEESE????? because it MELTS???????????

No! Melting is completely different!

You just thaw it! And it makes this sound occasionally while it does!

okay I'm gonna need you to explain what "thawing" a cheese means to you. is it bringing a cheese out lf the fridge and wait for it to be room temperature? is it heating it up so it's gooey and soft? i need to understand

No the cheese isn't frozen or cold. I don't know what other way to describe it as other than thawing? It makes a noise occasionally and when it stops it's usually done thawing

What actual change happens to the cheese after it “thaws”

it changes from an un-thawed to a thawed state

it's ready

good to go

What process are you doing to thaw cheese. where do you keep the cheese such that it's not thawed. Which physical properties of the cheese change between thawed and unthawed

ok I cant be the crazy one here. Nobody else thaws their cheese???

I thaw my cheese, but only if I get a block of the stuff, the sliced stuff is better for melting.

THANK YOU!

also ill temporarily forgive you for the sliced cheese comment. but pre-sliced is a sin

no no no i refuse to let this rest until i fully understand

so you. FREEZE the cheese? and then when you want to use it you. THAW it. that's what I'm getting from this conversation. is this correct??

also this might be important: what type of cheese are we talking about. cottage cheese? hard cheese? fake cheese (cheddar)? because i think i might be picturing the wrong type of cheese

no like I said before you don't freeze the cheese! That just dries it out! And the type of cheese doesn't matter. You. Still. Thaw. It.

What I don't understand is the PROCESS. like what is the ORIGINAL STATE OF THE CHEESE. is it just the state it is in when you buy it in the store. or is it cold. or is it room temperature. or is it warm.

and what is the exact process?? microwaving?? warm water??? just leaving it outside in room temp?????

please I seriously need to understand the PROCESS the cheese undergoes. if step-by-step instructions need to be spelt out then so be it but i really REALLY wanna know what's going on

Can you like take a video of the cheese thawing from start to finish to demonstrate the sound it makes and the process of thawing cheese

Unfortunately I can't. I'm at work right now, and I'm heading out on a trip in 2 days so I already cleared out my fridge so nothing'll spoil while I'm gone. But trust me I'd absolutely do that if I could. This is really frustrating and I GUARANTEE if you all saw it you'd immediately recognize what thawing cheese is. I seriously think I'm just unintentionally using a niche regional name for it which is causing all this confusion

OK IM FUCKING BACK!

ill have you all know that the entire time I was gone i couldnt stop thinking about this so im DETERMINED to show you all not only WHAT thawing cheese is, but also what the SOUND is so i can FINALLY have an answer to my ORIGINAL GOD DAMN POLL

i have nothing in my fridge and im tired rn from driving 6 hours so instead of going to the store i'm just gonna swing by my aunt's place and see if she has any cheese that needs thawing

gimme a few minutes

ok looks like im just going to the store. video of thawing cheese when i come back

now the question is will tumblr let me put a poll in the same reblog as a video?

no third option. you have no excuse this time

Realized the other day we got kinda Neville Longbottomed by Ferb. Couldn't let this thought go without including the entire, wholesome Flynn-Fletcher sibling unit!

THEY LOVE THEIR SISTER

Disability is not a punishment, but I think the world would be genuinely improved if every person involved in writing or regulating ingredient labels was mysteriously inflicted with at least one food allergy falling under each of the following categories: "natural flavors," "modified food starch," "artificial flavors," "spices," and "color." Down with ingredient labels so vague that they defeat the entire fucking point.

If you don't have food allergies or other dietary restrictions, imagine you noticed that everything you buy at the grocery store had added "glunk" to its ingredient label, so you looked up what "glunk" was, and the first result was like: "Regulating agencies allow various food additives to be labeled as 'glunk.' The two most common types of glunk are delicious nutritious dietary fiber, and plutoniium-238."

SORRY FOE THE DUMP IM CATCHING UP ITS BEEN A HOT MINUTE

Hi. I love Hades and Hades 2 as much as everyone else but we NEED to make some noise because Supergiant is refusing to sign contracts with fair pay and anti-AI clauses. And they are straight up recasting VAs to punish VAs who are striking (sag-aftra has been striking for 7 months).

We really need to make noise here because this mistreatment will continue if we don't.

I'm providing a link for the company contact page in the replies. Please send them a comment on their contact page and encourage others to do so. Maybe even leave a steam review about it, idk.

So, Supergiant did post a response on Bluesky:

The text if the link doesn’t work:

“Voice talent has been integral to each of our games. Recently, questions arose here about how we work with our voice talent, which we want to address.

Actors breathe life and humanity into everything we do, and over time, we've gone from working with a small number from our team to dozens of individuals around the world. We offer the strongest AI protections in the industry to our talent, as we think their work is irreplaceable.

Our games are intentionally made by human beings; no generative AI is being used in the creation of the voiceover, artwork, or any other content that goes into them.

We have not re-cast any of our characters in Hades II, and wish to keep working with each and every member of our wonderful cast.

We have respected and will continue to respect any actor needing to pause work during the ongoing SAG-AFTRA video game strike. While none of our games have ever been subject to SAG-AFTRA contracts for a variety of reasons, we wish SAG-AFTRA the best in their negotiations to compel larger signatory studios to provide the kinds of protections we think actors deserve.”

I appreciate the link here for the post on bluesky, thank you. I didn't expect this post to blow up tbh, and I especially didn't expect SG to respond. I wish I'd included the other union demands other than the AI-related stuff. It's really good that they've acknowledged the AI issue here, but this is really only the tip of the iceberg in terms of issues.

I've gotta clarify some things:

1. The anti-AI clauses are only a small part of the overall union contracts. I made a mistake by only mentioning the AI stuff, and it's because I saw Miller's bsky post mention AI specifically being a current issue. I highly encourage everyone to check out the sag-aftra demands online, easily accessible with a search on google.

2. I'm aware some of the VA team is non-union, such as Korb. This is an issue. The refusal to join the union is harming other, union, VAs. Anyone who does work without being in the union, is a scab and is crossing the picket line. This hurts everybody, even themselves, even if they don't think it does. Everybody needs to be in the union.

3. This post from SG is a big ol' nothingburger. We need to be asking WHY they're not signing it. We need to be asking WHY they're so unwilling. And just what are the "variety of reasons" that they won't sign union contracts for? And WHY won't they tell us?

4. It's good that SG has responded publicly to this. It means they're listening to us. And we need to keep pressuring them. This is only the beginning and if we don't keep pressuring, nothing will change.

5. This is not only a SG issue. This is happening with other companies as well, and we need to put pressure on all of them. I made this post about SG because they released the new Hades update, and I saw a bunch of VA and VA-adjacent users on social media talking about it. I have a decently-large following on here and thought more people needed to be aware of what's happening in the industry.

6. Here's some of the responses on bsky. Done my best to censor names, don't harass people on there or else you're getting The Horrors inflicted upon you.

I'm sure there's more I could add but I've gotta get back to work, so that's all I've got for now. Peace.

Sorry to add more but here's Miller's response to the situation:

have a redraw of the alley scene

reading the wiki for the american psycho movie every single thing it’s saying about christian bale has me in tears …….. he literally wanted the role so bad he got that buff in two weeks, rejected every other offer for 9 months while the producers tried to get dicaprio to be patrick bateman bc bale knew dicaprio would chicken out, went to dinner with the director and the guy who wrote the novel IN CHARACTER apparently scaring the shit out of the novelist, took the role for $50k, and then made all his costars think he was a giant freak bc he never fucking broke character, and APARENTLY LITERALLY HAS CONTROL OVER HIS SWEAT GLANDS AND USED THIS IN THE BUSINESS CARD SCENE

ok thanks for the info wiki

Hey Paul!

It brings me comfort that, for a brief moment, Jared Leto genuinely believed Christian Bale was going to kill him with an axe
