Still the same sapper in the wire, just remade. Fuck the troops, ACAB, dismantle imperialism, fuck off TERFs. I am a SHM/NDE engineer and historian, and grad student. I used to run amightydirge. Late 20’s. You shouldn’t be giving out your exact age and name on the internet.

Nobody ever writes stories about kids who want to learn the classical violin but whose parents force them to learn the electric guitar instead.

Generationally speaking, we are well past the point where this is a plausible storyline.

"But papà! I wish to play in an orchestra!"

"That noise ain't music! We only play Classic Rock in this family! And you will address me as 'daddio' while you're livin' under my roof, kid!"

Small Child (miserably): "I dig."

in recent events of that zoo losing the clouded leopard, it reminded me of the time i went to a large petting zoo and there was a free roaming little black sheep. cutest little guy i ever saw, soi went to the zookeeper nearby and said ‘i think its really cute how you have a sheep thats allowed to just walk around. ‘ then the zookeepers eyes widened and he grabbed his walky talky and ran 

My archeology class has really given me a renewed and visceral hatred of ancient aliens shitheads literally the laziest and most incurious and thoroughly racist pseudoscience in existence

Archeologists: the sarcophagus lid of Pakal the Great depicts the moment of his transformation from a living lord to a sacred ancestor, literally poised between life and death along the axis of the World Tree as he descends into the underworld. It's a beautiful and stunning piece of art providing an unparalleled glimpse of Maya cosmology.

Literally the stupidest person alive: it spaceship

Some choice selections from TF2 wiki’s “non-player characters” page, which presumably are a lot funnier if you don’t know anything about TF2.
