Blood, Guts, And Chocolate Cake

I guess they got tired of defrosting him every time there was a social event

i cant drive because i believe in the inherent romance of the passenger seat 

I say we stop counting years and start just fucking eyeballing that shit who's with me

in the pool as a child, id float on my back with my eyes shut tight until my head hit against a wall. doesnt it sound nice to be utterly set adrift like that, but in time? to float untethered and unfettered until the hand of some other force intervenes, not unlike the cement pool's edge? We've all earned a little break from the incessant counting of years wouldnt you say?

sit under this tree with me

if they put freshman orientation leaders in charge of the vaccine rollout we'd all be making out by now

trees are very 🥺 because sometimes i’ll stand under the shade of a tree and look up at it and it’ll sway its branches about in the wind and i’m like oh my God i’m alive and YOU’RE alive. we are alive together and made up of the same starry stuff and standing right next to each other in this moment on this earth. do u feel it when i reach out and press my hand to your trunk? can you hear me? i think you’re so neat. and then the sunlight filters through its leaves just so and that lovely green color leaves me dazzled. it’s just very nice to be an alive thing next to a different sort of alive thing

what if we kissed. under the saturn and jupiter conjunction

i love not being a teenager but also sometimes people on the internet just say words and i have to look them up on urban dictionary like i’m 90

if that pussy dont have System Shock 2 installed on it then i dont want it

aint that when you leave a tampon in too long?

Sodalite is a type of rock that reacts with UV light. When exposed to it, the rock turns to a golden, lava-like color.

I thought that was a microphone at first and that he was going to interview the creek

This is how far into the earth humans have dug so far.

oh my god

The crust reveal slapped me

boy oh boy sure am glad that during this crisis I get to experience Capitalist Plenty

and not Socialist Deprivation

rlly makes u think

hahahahahaha!!!!!!!! 50 years on and Vietnam is still beating America’s ass !!!!!!!!!!

uh huh

You know how china lies?

Vietnam does the same shit.

I live in vietnam and the number is actually that low lmao vietnam has closed down schools and universities and started online learning since feb. they have praticed social distancing and lock down for 20 days now. The government literally spent billions to put tourists in quarantine for free to health check them everyday for fourteen days to make sure community spread doesn’t happen. They’re willing to risk the economy as long as the people are safe. Like you do know vietnamese people have access to the internet right???

Population differences you people, America has significantly more people total

wow you’re such a genius, if only there were statistics for the number of cases per million people so we could scale it to population size, such as here:

can any mathematicians tell us whether 3 or 3,379 is the larger number? can any number wizards help us out on that one

The lengths that people go to to try and force the idea that the us is great are just astounding really

It's funny to me how people are so insistent that pseudo-communist countries like china and vietnam are lying about their numbers when it honestly makes more sense that since they have more powerful governments they have the ability to enforce lockdowns and ration food to keep their numbers low, whereas we have it on record that the united states has repeated instances of falsifying or misreporting covid-19 data

The photo above is the closest humanity has ever come to creating Medusa. If you were to look at this, you would die instantly. 

The image is of a reactor core lava formation in the basement of the Chernobyl nuclear plant. It’s called the Elephant’s Foot and weighs hundreds of tons, but is only a couple meters across.

Oh, and regarding the Medusa thing, this picture was taken through a mirror around the corner of the hallway. Because the wheeled camera they sent up to take pictures of it was destroyed by the radiation. The Elephant’s Foot is almost as if it is a living creature.

Friendly reminder that this blob of core material was so hot and dense, it melted/burned through three floors of the building before coming to rest in the lowest basement.

And there’s now a unique species of black mold that feeds off the gamma radiation it produces.

Is no one else seriously freaked out by that mold? No? Just me, then?

wiki article about the mold

LOVE that mold!

okay but

wwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwhy was someone shooting it with a kalashnikov

dps check

I mean, the Elephant’s Foot is very very dangerous, but it wouldn’t kill you instantly. When it was first created about a minute of exposure would give you a fatal dose (x, x). That number is now around one hour. And yes, that photo was taken with mirrors, but you know which one wasn’t?

Yeah, this is a selfie. The guy set the timer on the camera and went and stood by it, and it produced this horrifying image that now haunts my dreams. The reason all the photos from Chernobyl are grainy and poor-quality, by the way, is due to radiation. The cameras were fine; radiation just… does that.

Anyway, that guy’s name is Artur Korneyev- and I use ‘is’ because he’s still alive! He helped to build the original sarcophagus which encased reactor 4 after the meltdown, and kept going back inside with reporters to be like ‘look how fuckin weird this is’. He helped plan the New Safe Confinement which now surrounds the sarcophagus, and would probably have helped build it too if they didn’t full-on ban him.

A quote:

Possibly the coolest guy alive? I’m tempted to think so.

Honestly, I feel like Chernobyl has been shunted into this category of like, ‘a lot of innocent and naive people died horribly’, when in reality a lot of tough as fuck people saved everybody else. The oft-told story of the ‘suicide mission’ to dive into the reactor and open the valves of the pool? Yeah, all three of the men who dove lived. One died in 2005 of heart failure; the other two are still alive.

A total of 31 direct and 15 indirect deaths are thought to have occurred from the Chernobyl disaster. Long-term deaths are… difficult to measure. Oh, and there’s a few hundred people still living in the exclusion zone.

If you’re at all interested, I really recommend reading up about Chernobyl- and, in particular, what was done to contain it and deal with the radiation. This is a beautiful write-up, and the wiki page is also worth checking out.  A lot of people did absolutely incredible work and it goes unrecognised most of the time.

And yeah, fungus is always the fucking weirdest.

i think villains in general provide better, more epic romances because they're allowed to go to extremes. they're allowed to put their love over the greater good. they're allowed to be selfish. the best a hero can offer you is number two, because their duty comes first. villains, though. villains will burn down the world for a last kiss goodbye.

Yea, sure. Until YOU or people you love are among the victims for someone else’s love and the villains won’t care. Would also like to point out that some villians(Kuvira, for example) have been willing to sacrifice/throw away love interests for their own goals.

idk about you but existing in the real world gives me and my loved ones immunity from the actions of fictional villains. hope you manage to get your family out of star wars.
