Stop Jumping, Idiot.

Whenever I look up rat posts, this one is the most popular and he’s still at it.

This man will not quit. As he ages, he’s becoming more fearless.

Okay but why wouldn't he jump if he knows you'll catch him?

This white man is trustworthy in the kitchen

I love this meme because I think humans 10,000 years ago or 100,000 years ago would also like it

the heat of the fire draws air straight up from the center over the fire. This draws the air in from the sides in a circle around the fire creating an air current, which means air is being blown toward the fire from all sides. When you sit on one side of the fire, it blocks some of the air moving toward the fire from that side. Now there is more air being blown toward the fire from the side opposite you. This pushes the smoke your direction. When you move to the other side, it just makes the same thing happen over there. The smoke actually literally does follow you around no matter where you sit. Because physics.

in other words what you actually need at the fire is other people sitting around the fire with you to balance it out ;~;

how to make your effects extra special

It can be somewhat disheartening when you the artisans and craftsman of yesteryear who created miracles out of limited technology go forgotten. Always nice to see someone somewhere making tributes to them.

great work everybody! 🫡

I can't stop thinking about Gwen in ATSV. She mentioned about how she, in every other universe, died when she was loved by spiderman/Peter Parker. Peter B., Noir, Ham, and Peni didn't talk about it, but I can't help but think about how Gwen is in this organization where literally thousands of people were in love with her and she died. When she walked through Neuva York, every Spiderman was tripping over themselves to call out to her specifically and receive a "hey :)" back. Not Spider Jess or Hobie.

And then there's Pavitr and, love him of course, but I wonder how it felt to see him talk about Gayatri. I know it's a joke but how does it feel to see yourself put on this pedestal. You can't help but compare yourself and wonder "did my Peter see me that way? How would I have acted if he did?" To see her dad in Officer Singh. To see herself trapped in a bus, desperately pounding on the window as she dangled above certain death again.

In the original Spiderman India comic, they skipped over Gwen/Gayatri entirely, and instead had Meera Jain. Which I get why they did from a meta perspective, but in universe, how does it feel to know your replacement is out there. Every Spiderman is happy with their MJ, and they think of Gwen fondly, but like.... Gwen is replaceable. She is the first love, but she doesn't get a future. It's a canon event.

The horror of being a fridged woman.

They should invent a way to simultaneously read a fic read a book draw art write watch television listen to music and listen to a podcast

Well, and sleep

op do you happen to have adhd

People on twitter seemed to like these a ton so! Loved this cat pic and wanted to just draw em… 

LMAO the last one! The strongman’s immediately like “No. No, absolutely not. Nope.” and the bodybuilder looks around like “Are you kidding me? I’ll die. You know that, right? I’ll die?”

The Rogue, the Paladin, the Barbarian have a day to themselves and enjoy some friendly competition.

This is such a fun video to watch. Not only do you see 3 versions of masculine fitness and strength but with each movement you can almost see where their weight is distributed and where they place their control. Which makes it fun to think about body builds and fantasy characters.

saw this on twitter and wanted to save it here

Here’s a link to the Stress First Aid instructors manual (2018) from the U.S. Forest Service Department of Agriculture, directed at Wildland Firefighters. It explains the original diagnostic tool cited under the adapted graphic above (Watson et al. (2013)), which was based off a model developed by the Navy / USMC for identifying and mitigating combat stress / potential PTSD.  The link below provides an overview of the stress continuum model (ie: basis for the adapted graphic above) but also basic tenets of the stress first aid model and how to employ them:

Camilla was crouched down, wiping her knives on one of their jackets. When she looked up, Nona was electrified. One of her eyes was a pale, pearlescent grey; the other one of her eyes was a deep, cool stone colour. Nona understood in a sudden shiver what she was looking at.

Just found out that the dietary calorie is still measured by burning food in a "bomb calorimeter" and then measuring the heat produced. There's no solid evidence that this method is at all equivalent to how our bodies process food (an entirely different chemical process from combustion), the accuracy of this system has been disputed for as long as it's existed, and there are no available alternatives

There are 4800 calories in a kilogram of dry sawdust even though wood is completely indigestible to humans, because calories don't measure nutritional value, just how well something burns

Nutritional "science" is pure bullshit

A good primer on this topic is the Maintenance Phase podcast episode ‘The Trouble with Calories’: https://maintenancephase.buzzsprout.com/1411126/10671811

Prefer reading? The sources list for that episode is full of goodies:

It doesn’t stop there though, almost everything we think we know about nutrition is kind of bullshit.

It all falls apart the moment you go looking for evidence. It’s such a sham.

On a more serious note: it might be worth adding that ‘Nutritional science is pure bullshit’ is of course a bit of an overstatement.

Nutritional science is a very young field full of unknowns, in which a lot of actual science is being done but the main conclusions those nutrition scientists keep on drawing is ‘shit, this was more complicated than we thought it was’ and ‘wow, the human body is surprisingly capable of self regulation, neat!’. Plus some obvious ones like ‘jup, veggies are still good for you’.

It’s just that almost all of the bullshit that gets presented to the public as ‘dietary guidelines’ isn’t nutritional science at all, it’s fatphobia dressed up as science. The science consistently shows that (1) weight is not causally related to health and (2) most people can not lose weight, nothing will work in the long term and most attempts make you less healthy. But this is consistently ignored by public officials in order to keep pushing ‘obesity epidemic’ bullshit and diet culture.

So they come up with weird unscientific catchphrases like ‘2000 calories per day’ and ‘calories in, calories out’ because there is no scientific way to defend their unscientific hatred or fat people.

Cats with knives.
