Haven't seen a post like this so I'll make one: Shoutout to the autistics that have special interests that people find creepy (for example horror , true crime things , knives but could also be anatomy etc because that might come off as creepy)

Double shoutout to autistics who enjoy talking about these things with no awareness that people find it creepy/get uncomfortable when hear it.

Don't worry, the potion probably won't have an effect on him, since he's not a rat.

There’s a lot going on in that little critter’s head right now.

1. Power move. 

2. Why do people whisked away to magical worlds just automatically believe the first creature that tells them what side the person needs to help? Where’s my isekai where the MC slowly finds out they got in with like the deranged zealots and are part of the evil faction, and not the plucky rebels? 

I think about this comic once per week. It’s funnier then anything I can conceive of. Mastery.

sorry!

it’s true you can’t draw one continuous line that would do the trick. but if the kitty and bunny set out by going through the doors they’re marked beside and each walked the certain way their colored arrows show at the same time their “collective path” as a team would go through each door only once. The moral of the story is actually about friendship , and cooperation, because in this world there are tasks you can’t do on your own.

Stop being so incredibly funny on my impossible puzzle post

You can switch the tracks so the trolley will kill one person, or you can allow it to attempt the fruitless crusade of running over each person in the maze only once.

What I love about tumblr is when we see a logic problem meant to be frustrating and/or unsolvable, we almost reflexively try to destroy it.

whenever im sad i just think about how the welsh word for microwave is popty ping

Avatar

OH FOR SHITTING GOD’S SAKE

JUST WHEN I THINK I’VE EDUCATED THE WORLD ABOUT THE WELSH WORD FOR MICROWAVE THIS PIECE OF SHIT POST MAKES AN APPEARANCE IN MY LIFE SO LISTEN UP YOU GULLIBLE PLANKS AND GET YOUR SCHOOL BAGS READY BECAUSE I’M ABOUT TO EDUCATE THE ABSOLUTE ILL-INFORMED SHIT OUT OF YOU

THE WELSH WORD FOR MICROWAVE IS MEICRODON WHICH IS A LITERAL FUCKING TRANSLATION OF MICROWAVE WHEREAS POPTY PING MEANS ‘PINGING OVEN’ AND LET ME TELL YOU NOW THAT NO ONE FUCKING SAYS POPTY PING IN WALES AND IF YOU HONESTLY THINK WE EVER USE POPTY PING AS A TERM I WILL PERSONALLY DELIVER MYSELF TO YOUR FRONT DOOR AND SHOUT AT YOU FOR TEN DAYS STRAIGHT

ummm this is obviously a passionate subject and im sorry i was just wondering if anyone knows how this got started? was it a knowing prank, or like someone’s aunt in wales who didn’t really speak welsh panicked when asked “what’s microwave” and said “popty ping” and the lie escaped

Oh damn, this post is old now!

It’s a children’s word. It’s exactly the same as how children in English call a train a ‘choo choo’. And then English people thought it sounded a combination of cute and stupid, which tied in with the whole ‘Welsh isn’t a real/valid language’ thing, and from there it continued because no one listens to Welsh people (I’ve literally had more than one conversation where I’ve explained all this and an English person has looked me in the eye and said “Well I prefer it so I’m going to keep saying it’s popty ping, tee hee”. I also vividly remember an English person on Tumblr - who is otherwise lovely - responding to me on this topic to explain to me that if people start using a word then it becomes a valid word, so actually popty ping now IS the Welsh word for microwave, and I had to explain back that no one is using it outside of nurseries and English people, now please will you actually believe us.)

Basically… imagine if the internet decided that “the English word for a set of carriages pulled on rails by an engine is a Choo Choo” and then either patronisingly simpered about it or sneered about how your language should therefore be wiped out about it and you have the issue

And as a final note, the whole thing is extra ridiculous because Welsh has three different terms for ‘jellyfish’ and every one of them is way more charming and batshit than popty ping on its best day AND are the actual genuine terms, so it’s a missed trick

c'mon Shaharazad, tell us about the jellyfish

Hello! I just saw your "welsh word for microwave" post, and 1.) thank you for the information and 2.) now I'm very curious what the three words for jellyfish are, if you care to share?

ABSOLUTELY, FRIEND

These fall into the categories of 'official term', 'slang term' and 'children's term' but NOT respectively:

  • Sglefren fôr (lit: "the sea skater")
  • Pysgodyn Wibli Wobli (lit: "wibbly wobbly fish")
  • Cont y môr (lit: "the cunt of the sea")

Hey can you guess the official term. Can you guess. Guess. Which is the official term, do you reckon. Which one's proper. Can you guess.

Edit: I just remembered this is an option now:

Don't bother reblogging for sample size this is deeply stupid
