actually the fact tumblr glitches and treats you like a new user when youre not is really funny. could you imagine taking a bite out of a fucking big mac or whatever and a whole crowd of people jump out and start cheering and congratulating you on learning how to eat

people from the us trying to think up analogy: "this is just like if mcdonald hamburger"

never disrespect my mcdonald hamburger ever again do you know how many rock and roll disk i had to sacrifice to get this thing

Oh ok. Childhood memory unlocked.

When i was a little kid, i had a "4d puzzle" of new york city.

You built the cardboard jigsaw base, then the foam island, and then you had plastic buildings and bridges.

And it had instructions to place the buildings in chronological order, as well as a timeline, hence "4d".

And i just fucking remembered. In 2001 on the timeline a step was "remove buildings #xx and #xy (World Trade Centers)" with no other explanation.

And as a kid i had no clue what that meant, but looking back on it my puzzle really just told me "alright kid, do a 9/11" and i, age 5, went along with it.

Congrats on having by far the funniest tags on this post so far.

how do conservatives think talking to children works? if a four year old came up to me and said “i’m a cat!!” i would say “really? what makes you a cat?” and they’d say some shit like “i have claws >:)” and i’d be like “oh wow, you do have claws. but wait, i thought cats had pointed ears!” and they’d say “they DO!!!” and then i’d pull up a picture of an elf and ask “is THIS a cat?” and they’d yell “NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO”

u wouldn’t say “fucking hell, Emily, get it together. this is the real world”

pardon me, i should clarify. you wouldn’t say that, assuming that you aren’t a total dipshit. i would not say that either. some people, however, hate children and firmly believe that everyone should be miserable unless they’re at church

several of you pointed out that, often, conservative christians want you to be especially miserable at church. so true. grave oversight on my part

I don't know whether or not this is true, but I'm reblogging this because we live in a world where the third search result when I tried researching the validity of this information was a link to an article about a weight loss product.

The second search result had included the slur "ob*se" in the title of the article.

There are seriously people who tell me fat people aren't oppressed. Meanwhile, trying to find information about how to keep a fat person from drying in a car crash is met with links to products that make dirty money off of how society views my body.

I immediately gave up trying to research this.

The tiktok is correct. Basically it's about arranging your belt so it there is an accident the pressure is in your strongest bones.

"Seatbelt should be across your hips rather than your stomach for everyone, but i think it's more common for fat people to wear seatbelts over the stomach

Pelvic bones are strong and sturdy, and you're going to be MUCH less likely to injure internal organs and such when you suddenly slam into a nylon belt"

I wanted to put both of these reblogs in one reblog chain since this is helpful information. Thank you both for giving more information than fatphobic Google did.

Thanks to everyone who worked on verifying this information.

Is there a word for that like, “bright darkness” you get in winter?? When it’s been snowing or it’s supposed to snow past sunset and the sky isn’t Dark Enough. One of my favorite things

Thanks to @raindropwindow and a handful of articles, it’s called snow albedo, skyglow, snowglow, or just light scattering! It’s the result of moon- or artificial light reflecting off ground snow, low clouds, or ice crystals.

that nsfw snow…

Although named the "Chaos Emeralds," only the green-colored one and the Master Emerald fit this exact description, as an "emerald" is simply a green form of beryl. However, the rest of the Emeralds are almost exactly the other colors of beryl varieties, making them all the same type of gem regardless.

These variations include:

Heliodor:

"The golden color is produced when iron replaces some of the aluminum in the crystal structure. Heliodor can contain trace amounts of uranium, making it slightly radioactive." [X] "Because of the stone's unusually vibrant yellow color, it was given the name heliodor, from the Greek words helios and doron, meaning, gift from the sun." "Heliodor has been called the stone of the gods and the gateway to light. The warm yellow color of the stone has been said to enhance the wearer's intuition and compassion." [X]

Bixbite:

""Bixbite (or "red beryl") is the allochromatic orange-red to purplish-red variety of beryl which owes its color to manganese (Mn) impurities." "Locations where this rare mineral is found include Utah and New Mexico, USA." [X] "Bixbite is a symbol of action and physical vitality." [X]

Aquamarine:

"Aquamarine is a pastel greenish-blue variety of the mineral beryl and owes its color to the presence of iron impurities. Its name is derived from the Latin words for water (aqua) and sea (marine). Crystals form in large hexagonal prisms. In ancient times, it was believed that sailors wearing aquamarine pendants would be protected from the perils of the sea. The stone symbolized happiness and eternal youth. It was viewed in Christian symbolism to bring moderation and control of passions to its owner." [X]

Maxixe:

Maxixe (pronounced Mah-she-she) is the almost-sapphire color variety of beryl. Maxixe owes it's very unstable color due to natural irradiation that causes a color center most probably in the NO3 sites. When exposed to sunlight or temperatures above 100° C, it will rapidly lose its color. Color can be restored by irradiation (gamma, x-ray or neutron) and annealing. As of around 1970, some dark-blue beryls started appearing on the market again and research showed that the color was also due to irradiation (artificial), but the color center in this case proved to be in the CO3 sites. This new type was named "Maxixe-type" beryl and, like Maxixe, it is a very unstable color. The original color of these beryls was yellow or green. [X] As for the maxixe gem meaning, empowerment and confidence are two of the biggest traits associated with the stone. [X]

Goshenite: (Chaos Emerald Icon Edited)

Goshenite, also known as white beryl, is the colorless to near-colorless variety of beryl. If rocks containing goshenite are exposed by erosion and weathering, the exceptional hardness of goshenite (7.5 to 8 on the Mohs hardness scale), along with its resistance to weathering, will enable it to persist in overlying soils and stream sediments. Much gem-quality goshenite is found as waterworn pebbles in stream sediments. Its presence there suggests that a primary deposit is located upstream. [X] Called the mother of crystals, beautiful, colorless Goshenite is the purest of the Beryls, a feminine crystal of the moon and angels, associated with motherhood. [X]

Johnkoivulaite:

Johnkoivulaite, a mineral that changes from deep violet to near colorless when viewed with polarized light, is the newest member of the beryl family. The GIA reported that johnkoivulaite has a hardness of 7.5 on the Mohs scale and a hexagonal crystal structure that is very similar to beryl and other members of the beryl group. But, what makes the mineral especially unique is the way it changes from a deep violet to near colorless when subjected to polarized light. This optical phenomenon is called pleochroism. [X]

This Chaos Emerald is an interesting case, as Johnkoivulaite was only discovered September 2019. [X] Because of this, there is no meaning or aspects yet assigned to it.

Morganite: (Chaos Emerald Icon Edited)

Morganite is the pink, peach or lilac variety of the mineral beryl. It is a beryllium aluminum silicate colored with a trace amount of manganese. [X] Morganite’s subtle color is caused by traces of manganese. Because morganite has distinct pleochroism—pale pink and a deeper bluish pink—it’s necessary to orient the rough carefully for fashioning. Strong color in morganite is rare, and gems usually have to be large to achieve the finest color. [X] With its soft pinkish hue, morganite is often associated with innocence, sweetness, romance and love.. [X]

The morganite is included because on multiple occasions there has been a specifically pink Chaos Emerald. This includes the original Sonic the Hedgehog (1991), Sonic the Hedgehog 2 (1992), and Sonic the Hedgehog 4 (2010). In Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 4, a hot pink Chaos Emerald replaced the purple Chaos Emerald. In Sonic the Hedgehog 2, a light pink Chaos Emerald replaces the dark blue Chaos Emerald.

Two hot pink emeralds appear in Sonic Chronicles: The Dark Brotherhood (2008), changed to the same color after the Voxai imbued them with psychic energy.

(Bixbite can also appear deep hot pink as well, but since the red Chaos Emerald is always also there when the pink one is present, Morganite also applies.)

The family also includes "Green Beryl..."

""Green Beryl" is the name given to light green beryls that do not have tone and saturation dark enough to be classified as “emerald.” These pale green beryls are colored by iron or chromium, with their color ranging from pale yellow-green to pale mint green." [X]

...and the "Trapiche Emerald"

Trapiche emerald gems are some of the world's rarest emeralds. During the formation of an emerald crystal, black carbon impurities may enter the gemstone mix. Because of emerald's hexagonal crystal structure, these impurities may fill in at the crystal junctions, forming a six-point radial pattern. In some trapiche emeralds, inclusions of albite, quartz, carbonaceous materials, or lutite may outline the hexagonal emerald core. From there, they extend in spokes that divide the surrounding emerald material into six trapezoidal sectors. [X]

Seemingly, neither of these have been represented by a Chaos Emerald form.

With the upcoming release of Sonic Superstars, They've given us some information on Emerald usage in-game, being that each one has an ability of its own. With the full list, the powers chosen may be inspired by the cultural and physical properties of the different-colored beryls.

Green Emerald (Emerald) - Ivy (Grows vines that can reach high areas)

Emerald is highly associated with self-growth and growth of love/wealth. It also has an association with an appreciation for life and creation. With it's green color, growing Ivy makes sense.

Yellow Emerald (Heliodor) - Slow (Slows down everything on screen for better reactions) Interestingly, this seems to just be a form of Chaos Control

Heliodor has a high connection to creativity, and (for those who believe in it) telepathy. Along with a general Mindpower. It's a bit of a stretch but the mindpower and telepathy connection could be what inspired the use of Chaos Control.

Red Emerald (Bixbite) - Bullet (Shoots the player in a direction midair)

Bixbite is very highly associated with energy, to the point where it's almost all that shows up. Not only does this make sense for the boost that Bullet gives, but the bullet itself resembles lava and volcanic rock, which Bixbite forms out of.

Cyan Emerald (Aquamarine) - Water (Allows players to travel more easily in water)

Other than the obvious water connection via naming (Along with it being used by sailors in the past for safe passage) Aquamarine is associated with release and moving on. It's possible being able to move on through water easier is an on-the-nose reference to this, a reference to the safe passage of sailors, or neither and it's strictly related to the naming.

Blue Emerald (Maxixe) - Avatar (Produces clones to attack all at once)

Maxixe doesn't have many associations. It seems to be connected to courage and positive outlooks, along with supposedly making one better at talking to people. However, as talked about above, Maxixe's color itself comes via radiation. With it being described as a "Bomb that attacks all enemies on screen" by Iizuka, it's radioactive creation may be at play somehow. It could be pulled from the specific idea of helping one with communication and forming bonds.

White Emerald (Goshenite) - Extra (Sonic gets his classic homing attack, Amy can throw her hammer, Knuckles can punch enemies, and Tails can generate a tornado with his two tails that will take out enemies in his way.)

Goshenite has a strong connection to truth. Telling truth, detecting truth, etc. If drawn from this it could be a "Self-truth" angle. However, Goshenite's properties seem more close to it's usage in-game. "It is called the mother of all gemstones because it can be transformed into other like emerald, morganite, or bixbite. Goshenite is also referred to as the purest form of beryl since there are generally no other elements present in the stone." [X]

Purple Emerald (Johnkoivulute) - Vision (Reveals hidden platforms and items)

Being only just discovered in 2019, Johnkoivulute has no meanings or associations. The power itself is highly connected to it's physical properties, as Johnkoivulute changes color due to polarized light, where it goes from deep violet to colorless. This light trick matches perfectly to the hidden objects seen via the emerald in-game.

Friendly reminder for any other people on the autism spectrum:

It's not recommended to offer to kill someone's dad, especially if you're talking to a stranger

may I please have more context?

Sometimes dads are terrible and should die, and you can console people by offering to rid them of this troublesome parent, but you should be friends with the person before making the offer

how the fuck are we supposed to make friends if not through gestures of patricide?

I love this, because there’s obviously something very clever going on to analyse patterns of language, but it’s also profoundly ignorant.

[ID: A screenshot of a Grammarly correction, labelled “clarity: conciseness”. The original text reads “Every book, which wasn’t many…” This is crossed out with the suggestion “Everyn’t many book” and the note “Consider shortening this phrase.” /end id]

Story time: this reminds me of some kids in an English class I’m in. They were doing written work and the teacher and I were going around checking their work. They had to do like, “do/do not”, and one example was “prepare”. Something like “My father does not/doesn’t prepare dinner”. I look at this one kid’s paper and this galaxy-brained child had written “My father preparen’t dinner” and it took everything in me to not lose it laughing right there like. This child saw a pattern and ran with it and I respect that.

Intermittentlysmitten hid this in the tags and shouldn’t have.

as a kid i had one of those “there’s a monster under my bed” moments except real.

every night i would cry about a ghost or something trying to scare me by knocking on my bedroom windows and walls. like, really loudly, every hour or so, every night. only at night. so my dad was like “heh okay kiddo let’s check it out :) ah see? there’s nothing here :)” and left.

until years later he admitted to me that he did in fact hear the unexplainable knocking when he slept in that room one night, and it kept him awake with fear. and suddenly felt awful for not believing little kid me.

imagine your kid being like “daddy there’s a demon in my closet” and you being like ok son lemme just check that for you :). and you open the door and there’s a demon in the closet
