@matetikus kalandjai

the full video!

hi i hope it's okay that i do some excited shouting off your reblog since it's got the full video linked. to everyone in the notes asking:

I HAVE GREAT NEWS FOR YOU, BECAUSE IT IS BY THE SAME GUY!

allow me to direct you directly to Alan Becker's youtube channel right HERE

(and a quick shoutout to those of you who already knew <3)

HOWEVER!

I SEE YOU IN THE TAGS! and i can promise you that the stuff Alan Becker is making TO THIS DAY is even better than the videos you remember from 15+ years ago! (that's how long he's been around! isn't that wild?)

i'm almost certain everybody remembers - or has heard of - the original animator vs. animation, which went viral back in 2006, or maybe you remember watching the third installment of the series in 2011, with these two:

nostalgia at its finest, genuinely! but did you know that there's a fourth Animator Vs. Animation? i'm sure you recognize this orange fella (he's the one in the math video!) or maybe his friends from 2014?

but hey - did you know that there's a fifth installment? and that it looks like THIS?

i just cannot stress enough how far the realm of stickfight animations has come in these past years - and Animation Vs. Math is truly just the tip of the iceberg for Alan's content.

THERE'S EVEN A SIXTH INSTALLMENT. THE FIRST EPISODE (yes, the first episode) JUST RELEASED A FEW MONTHS AGO. LOOK AT HOW INCREDIBLE THIS IS!!! and this is just a small snippet!!

(full credit for these beautiful gifs goes to my beloved @chosec <333)

and as if that wasn't enough - over sixteen years of incredibly ground-breaking animation done by a team of dozens of wonderfully talented artists - there's even more.

do you remember this?

this is a screenshot from Animation Vs. Minecraft, and to this date, it is the most viewed Minecraft video on Youtube. that's not an exaggeration - since 2015, this one video has accumulated over 316 million views. odds are high that if you've watched any Minecraft content over the past 7 years, you've probably seen this video at least once. and y'know what's crazy?

the series never ended.

there are three full seasons of Animation Vs. Minecraft, and i'm not exaggerating when i say that the sheer amount of storytelling that is put into these little stickfigures as they explore the block game that everyone knows and loves is unbelievable. i've spent the past year dragging everyone i know into it. the full series is a 4 1/2 hour epic, steadily increasing in animation quality over the years its been in the works, building up to stunning conclusion with its own original music score that makes me cry. it's amazing.

here's some links to my personal playlists, organized and updated in chronological order:

if there's any sort of small-studio/team animation you want to watch and support - i cannot recommend Alan Becker's work enough. there's found family, there's cool action scenes, there's deeply heartfelt moments, all portrayed with the bare minimum of dialogue - and it's set in a delightfully unique medium full of charm that Alan and his team have maintained to this day.

and please come chat with me over on @sec-one if you have any questions! or just want to gush about how cool these stick guys are! i know i'm going to stick around (lmao) for as long as Alan creates more stories for us to enjoy, and there's no signs of stopping anytime soon <3

tbh i don't really get why we divide the oceans into different oceans because they're all connected it's the same ocean

no metaphor here just pure confusion...is there a line where one ocean stops and another begins? or is it like a smooth gradient of percentages of one ocean shading into another ocean?

Yes, there is a line. There are confluences you can see and touch and they are NOT subtle in the slightest.

That's the Atlantic and the Caribbean on a particularly pronounced day.

This is the Indian and the Pacific. It's not always this obvious everywhere but the dividing lines are very much there.

Oceans have their own properties as far as temperature and salinity and unless something like a storm or a current forces them to mix they won't. Mostly this applies to vertical mixing and it gives you things like thermoclines and haloclines but water is wierd and won't mix horizontally either.

The ocean basins tend to have their own currents that go in a circle and define that ocean, and those patterns mix the water within that ocean. Like a washing machine.

The Caribbean has a little loop of its own that not on this map, but that current keeps that ocean pretty internally consistent. It's got clear warm water because of the shallow bowl of limestone sand it sits in. Where it meets the Atlantic with wildly different conditions the water is traveling in opposite directions, and it acts kind of like an oncoming lane of highway traffic. Species that have adapted to a narrow band of temperatures and salinities (most fish) can't cross, while species with a stronger homeostasis hang out there on purpose, (marine mammals, turtles, sharks). Plankton, that cannot control their horizontal movement in the water column, are held in their home territories by these barriers.

This is cool as fuck

I love learning

Pls reblog if u vote :)

I was so dedicated to this meme that I went on the embalming fluid website to figure out the names of the chemicals that were too blurred to read

tumblr staff says that if we don't buy $17,000 in crabs by 10 p.m. the whole website is going to be shut down by hotel management and all the guests are going to have to go home

I found myself having, not exactly an argument recently, but a highly opinionated conversation with someone who did not believe my assertion that once upon a time there were official Hello Kitty vibrators. With the aid of the Wayback Machine, I found this article, and thought the world at large might enjoy it too...

seeing a black and white cow is always so damn awesome it’s like Hey i know that guy.from my kindergarten abcs

every once in a while i rediscover plain bread with butter and realize our ancestors were fucking geniuses

today mom brought in some fresh blackberries from behind the house and i am truly living the life of a 3000BCE king here

im putting a fruit sticker on you. im sprinkling blades of grass on you. im offering wedges of my tangerine to you. etc.

I’m talking about childhood here, not adolescence. This isn’t about getting a job in high school, it’s about what was in your piggy bank when you were ten.

Every week that my parents remembered (which was usually every couple of months) my sister and I would get our age ×10 pennies, so at age 9 it'd be 90p and age 10 it's be £1 and so on.

It didn't exactly go far, but we weren't allowed out on our own anyway so there wasn't much to spend it on.
