"This crystal is good for such-and-such organ!" oh yeah name 3 of that organ's functions
"This will cleanse your body of toxins" Oh? Which ones? What are their names? Why are they bad for you? What symptoms do they cause?
This is the only good addition to this post
the new dj crazytimes song … now that’s what I call music!
honestly kinda unfortunate that the only spooky library aesthetic is the victorian fancy bookshelves dark academia one bcos like. ok here's some library stories.
u turn the handles to move these around (saves space) and every time you had to go and check the aisles first on the offchance that someone was in there so they wouldn't get u know. Compacted.
but that's just the tip of the iceberg. it keeps going down the side of the bridge, like so:
i got a tour of the stacks while i was there. it's floor after floor of this:
the bookshelves are made of metal & i was treated to the 'fun fact' that the shelves are, bizarrely, load bearing. for this reason they have to be constantly vigilant about fire hazards because even a relatively small fire could cause a bookcase to buckle from the heat, which in turn could cause the whole building to collapse in on itself like a house of cards.
this has haunted me ever since!! thank you.
Jumblr if we lose I will die
"OP why are you mad that your words are being misinterpreted you're on the piss on the poor website" actually i think it's very reasonable to demand people pay attention to the words they use, the choices they make, the things they believe, and their capacity for empathy and comprehension and that it's sort of weird that you're finding humor in making excuses to just believe that there simply is no possible way to improve your actions
The number one funniest example of people inventing bullshit reasons ships they don't like are "problematic" that I've ever seen was people calling Brienne of Tarth and Jaime Lannister "like siblings".
Fam.
Have you forgotten the number one most notable trait about Jaime Lannister.
Nobody recognizes a good trickster archetype anymore. Any trickster created after 1993 can't humiliate the haughty and powerful... All they know is change they shape, be bisexual, and lie
"Too bright were the eyes of Arien for even the Eldar to look on, and leaving Valinor she forsook the form and raiment which like the Valar she had worn there, and she was as a naked flame, terrible in the fullness of her splendor." — Quenta Silmarillion
those desktop computer towers with the windows on the sides so you can see glimpses of the computer's guts and brain as it's running are like. thats a boob window. youve given your computer the tech equivalent of a sleeveless turtleneck with a heart-shaped boob window.
they should have left dorian and the inquisitor in the in hushed whispers timeline for like a month just because it would’ve been funny
dorian: i can’t believe we have to walk through this desert. AGAIN
cassandra: we’ve... never been here before
inquisitor: dorian, cassandra doesn’t remember the battle of the western approach
dorian: oh of course. well, i’m not saying i liked the army of walking corpses, i am saying that they broke the monotony
inquisitor: i don’t miss the were-varghests. or the fade whirlpool
dorian: [in the tone of someone saying something absolutely hilarious] well you can’t really miss the fade whirlpool
inquisitor: [cracks up laughing]
cassandra: is this what heatstroke feels like
josephine: inquisitor i know you think it’s helpful but you have to stop saying “see that’s funny because those were literally your last words in the other timeline”
inquisitor: i don’t think it’s helpful
josephine: could you try to be? because our forces are falling apart as we speak.
inquisitor: oh wow. okay i know this is a boy who cried wolf situation here but those were literally the last—
inquisitor: hey mother giselle just brought me a letter and i want to say upfront i know i stood by you through the last time you reunited with your father but if we have to do it again i’m going to kill him
dorian: understandable but i’m going to have to ask you to not
inquisitor: can i at least tell him that in the other timeline we were gay married for three decades or something
dorian: a reasonable compromise
cullen: we met this tevinter necromancer two days ago and now he’s in all our war table meetings?
inquisitor: cullen i’m going to be real with you i was much more understanding the first time we had this conversation but if i am separated from the only person who understands what i’ve been through right now i’m going to start shaking like a chihuahua and then possibly start biting
dorian: i hate to admit to any such reliance but yes if you try to remove me i will probably simply tell you when you’ll die
inquisitor: and it’s not even a good one, cullen
dorian: distasteful way to go, really. pick something else this time
dorian: dare i ask why our dear friend solas has been looking at us like that
inquisitor: oh so you know how we still never really figured out what his deal was in the other timeline
dorian: i remember
inquisitor: i’ve been implying that we did just to fuck with him
You probably know that humans can experience “phantom limbs,” but did you know that the limbs of an octopus can have a “phantom body”? If you cut off an octopus’ tentacle, it will try to feed a mouth that is no longer there. A severed octopus tentacle also curls up when it’s exposed to negative stimuli like acid. Essentially, if an octopus dies and its tentacle is cut off, the tentacle can outlive the original animal by a whole hour.
Octopi have as many as 130 million neurons, but the vast majority are located in their limbs, not their brains. Their mind is “distributed.” That is fundamentally unlike the human mind. We have muscle memory, but our arms can’t move completely independently of our brains.
What does this mean for octopus consciousness? Well… we don’t know. There’s no way to observe or deduce via experiment what it’s like to be a particular animal. We can see how they behave, but we won’t ever see the world through their eyes. Science can study what is outside, but not what’s inside. So, animal consciousness isn’t really the domain of science.
As is always the case, philosophers have attempted to do what scientists cannot. The philosopher Peter Godfrey-Smith has a really great way of explaining what’s at stake: “Octopuses let us ask which features of our minds can we expect to be universal whenever intelligence arises in the universe, and which are unique to us.” There’s a decent chance you’ve seen a popular Tumblr post about Umwelt Theory—the idea that animals have access to senses that we do not. Smells too refined for our noses, pitches too high for our ears, colors outside the range of our eyes. But the inner worlds of animals might be even stranger than that. The postmortem movement of octopus limbs suggests that some animal minds might be fundamentally different from ours. Simply put, it’s not just that some animals have access to sensations that we will never feel. They might have access to types of thoughts that we will never be able to think.
