i tend to get messages from time to time from transphobes saying stuff along the lines of ‘your parents must be so disapponted’ but like. you don’t know my parents? i said that i’ve been on hrt for 4.5 years and im 19. so. yeah theyre pretty disapointed. that’s why they paid for me to get my tits chopped off. like i get you’re not using any logic anyways but like. pretty weak argument to use towards someone who transitioned as a minor
if i wanted to disapoint my parents i would join the military. i’m not sure what world we live in where we assume that all parents are by default horrified by their kids being queer
i just have a soft spot for creatures that have no right to exist. robots with no empathy and a shortened lifespan. vampires who can’t survive without killing others. parasites who possess a body and discover the joys of being human. a person created by the unwilling fusion of two other people. idk it just hits me every time
My favorite threat I make against corporations- "I will rip the equity from the bones and shove their liabilities down the throats until their assets are bleeding red on the balance sheet."
I think the best most human thing in the world is strangers doing a silly thing together
Examples:
- guy at work “Yes, and -” ing the bit me and my coworker were doing where we pretended to be owners of a fantasy medieval tavern not minimum wage retail staff
- at the gay club when Die Young by Kesha came on and two hundred people, all dancing and drinking separately, jumped up and down to make the “- beat of the drums *STOMP STOMP*” as loud as possible
- person who watched me stomp round the beach singing a made up song about breakfast foods to name a cat after and suggested more breakfast foods that would be good cat names
- guy who started a dance off with everyone across the road while waiting for the lights to change
- very tiny girl at the pharmacy interviewing everyone in the queue and every single one of us in turn sat down and answered this toddler’s questions like we were on Letterman
The three pillars of humanity, in no particular order, are Joy, Absurdity, and Sharing
So, fun facts: color CRT displays either use Shadow Masks (where there’s a metal grid inside the tube) or an Aperture Grille (where there’s a bunch of thin wires inside the tube).
Shadow Masks are pretty sturdy and shouldn’t be permanently damaged by a magnet unless it’s REALLY strong, but Aperture Grille displays use very small wires, so it’s possible to permanently damage them with a magnet.
But there’s also the issue of magnetizing them: the masks/grilles are not supposed to be magnetized, but if you get big magnets near them, they might get magnetized. This’ll cause the beams to be permanently deflected, causing color issues. This is what degaussing is for, but the built-in degaussing function is limited in how much magnetism it can remove. You can easily magnetize it to the point where you’d need to externally degauss it to fix the colorization issues.
So, these two methods (mask and grille) are needed because the inside of the screen is coated in a pattern of red/green/blue phosphors, which light up when hit by an electron beam.
The beam is steered using the yoke, which is two crossed electromagnets. One makes it go left to right, and one makes it go top to bottom.
By carefully tuning how the magnetic fields go back and forth, you get a raster: a pattern by which the beam can trace the whole screen.
For a color display, all three beams (red/green/blue) are being steered in unison, but it’s important to keep the beams hitting the right phosphors, or blue will show up as red and such.
So there’s a Shadow Mask , or an Aperture Grille. This blocks the phosphors so that the wrong beam can’t hit them, it hit the mask/grille instead.
But here’s the thing: this display is an early Macintosh. It’s a monochrome display. There’s no Shadow Mask or Aperture Grille to get damaged.
All that’s happening is that the beam is being temporarily deflected. As soon as you remove the magnet it’ll return completely to normal!
So shitposting and silliness aside, this should be completely harmless to the display.
Be careful doing this to a color CRT, but a monochrome CRT should give no shits.
“If you have time to be on social media, you also have time for…” “If you have time to watch Netflix, you also have time for…” Yeah, but do I have the energy for it? Do I have the emotional and mental capacity for it? Am I pain-free enough for it? Can I focus on it? Can I do it without leaving my bed? Can I safely do it without risk of (physically or emotionally) injuring myself by pushing past my boundaries?
“tumblr became bad because of porn ban” “tumblr is bad because of bots” “tumblr is bad because there’s hateful people who post freely” THE AUDIO POST HAS A COPYRIGHT DETECTOR NOW. DOESNT ANYONE REMEMVER WHEN YOU COULD PUT ANY SONG ON HERE AND LISTEN AND SCROLL AND LOVE????????????? STOP SENDING ME TO SPOTIFY APP
fun fact!! it turns out that now when u make a new blog, tumblr forces you to follow 3-4 people before you can change your icon or modify your blog in any way!! this, of course, means that, yes, some of the “potential bots” many of us have been automatically blocking could have possibly been genuine new users who were only just seconds in to having an account!!! tumblr is literally screwing new users over!!!!
But also the bot accounts will always follow a guideline for their names adjective then no space then noun, so they’ll be something like Audaciouslemon and if you follow them back they’ll send you dating app links
My controversial AI opinion is that AO3 shouldn’t have turned data scraping off because having millions of words of pornography dumped into the common crawl dataset was great for reducing the market value of anything trained on it. The best way to preserve the jobs of writers is to have the other option be a bot that not only knows what omegaverse is but will segue into writing about it at a moments notice and thinks the best word to come after Steve is automatically “Rogers”. Nothing crushes marketability like porn and copyright law violations.
the world where AI never gets off the ground because it inevitably just winds up writing omegaverse destiel
So… a monster and/or slasher-type boogeyman is in your neighborhood, Voorheesing all over the place…
Now, your first instinct is going to be to go to the cops with whatever evidence you have and beg them to believe a supernatural murder machine both exists and is not already on their payroll.
This is wrong. That’s how you wind up in a tense handcuffed escape from the back of a patrolcar before the wolfman finishes tearing out Spec-Ops Barney Fife’s liver in the front seat.
Instead, Give ‘em the Reverse Scooby-Doo™:
“Some methhead in a Halloween mask is running around attacking people. I think he’s got a knife, I didn’t get a good look.”
Now. You know that its really Dracula on a rampage and that mortal weapons won’t work on him…
But who are they going to believe? You, or the dried husks of an improbably exsanguinated SWAT team?
It annoys me so bad that nobody in media does this, the most obvious thing, but also that the police never just draw this conclusion on their own?!
when a pelican bites you there’s no malice in their eyes. they aren’t upset at you. they are just hungry and want to see if you fit in their mouths. and if you don’t then it’s no problem and everything is fine. and if you do then well i guess your fate is sealed but that’s ok it’s a beautiful animal
Okay, see, I knew about the capybara gif:
But I didn’t know that they really are That Dense, All The Time. The same way sharks will bite anything that might be a seal, just in case, these birdbrains will apparently test just about anything for beak size.

Double plot twist: same
i added sum more–
This is my favorite.
B E A U T I F U L
The last hand kiss got me…..oh wow.
IT’S B A C K

HI YES THIS IS MY CONTRIBUTION
It got so much better than the last time i saw it!!❤❤❤
LAST I WAS HER ETHERE WAS A DIFFERENTS TORY ITS BRANCHING AND I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER
This fucking comic had been added to over the course of six years. That’s insane, it’s beautiful. It’s inspiring, all these people from different places at different times some have moved on other still here it’s wild.
oh my hecc i love it
YES THERES MORE
I will always reblog this
I can’t. Too cute. This gave me too many feels at 2:30 in the morning. I need more but I can’t draw.
Me as a kid rubbing my fingers across the screen of my gba to pet my lv 67 Mightyena so it won’t faint this turn & attack through confusion to finally beat the E4 having no knowledge of type matchups or proper teambuilding but relying solely on the power of love & friendship (&RNG) to win
THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP IS NOT LIMITED BY THE LIKES OF YOUR PUNY TECHNOLOGY. FRIENDSHIP. IS. MAGIC.
Change.org - Petition To Hire 1,000,000 People To Put Their Fingers In The Shoot Hole Of Peoples’ Guns So They Can’t Shoot Them
It’s still gonna shoot… And they’re gonna lose a finger
No. The finger blocks the bullet. We can do this
This is a gun we’re talking about. The projectile is fired using an explosion, not by compressed air of a toy gun or the elastic forces of a sling shot. People would be lucky if they only lost their finger.
The finger blocks it
The finger won’t block it - the shaft is only there for keeping the bullet straight, all the propulsion happens behind the bullet. The bullet would rip through the finger, not that many would actually fit without the victim being a child, and beyond.
The bullet would go forward a little and then hit the finger and stop it’s not that hard to understand
People are going to lose their hands. Go watch Mythbusters. They did an episode on this, the hand fucking exploded.
No, the bullet would start to go but stop at the finger. Thats basic physics. Also hands dont explode normally they did something wrong.
Why the dingleknockers would you even consider sticking your finger in the barrel of a loaded gun?? the amount of force propelling the bullet at that close of range would shatter the finger at the very least; this is a petition for 1,000,000 people to loose the use of their hands. If a bullet explodes the back of a persons skull when they shoot it in their mouth it sure as hell will explode a finger.
No the finger would stop it
I’m loving the idiocy of this post.
Ppl with brains: ummm finger go boom…
Others: no bullet stop. U no kno fisics >:V
no the finger would stop it
You guy who think the bullet would stop at the finger have never shot a gun and can volunteer to it their fingers in the barrel of my 9 mil and I’ll I’ll the trigger and see if it will stop the bullet. Dumdasses
the finger would stop it

These fuckwits are back again? How’s it going, Nine Finger Nasty? About to turn into an Eight Finger Egghead?
@meatswitch@raptorific this is a US based site. US Americans are known for two things- obsession with guns and incredible stupidity. Had this been anyone else, I’d say they’re trying to fuck with us. But with US Americans, about 70% of them are dead serious about mangling their hands trying to stop a bullet.
I’ve had four years to think about it and now I think the finger would stop it
I just tested it with my buddy. It stops the bullet
anyone else feel like your brain broke in high school and now you’re stuck in your teens mentally even as an adult
i feel underbaked
average 23 year old teenage girl
When I was 10, my mother was 34. I was struggling in school, miserable in the talented-and-gifted program at my elementary school.
During one low point at home, my mom sat me down and told me a secret: adults don’t stop feeling like they’re 18. Mentally and emotionally there’s actually no such thing as “adulthood”.
She apologized for making mistakes with me, specifically pushing me so hard academically. Adults, she said, don’t know what they’re doing. They’re guessing most of the time, and hoping it’ll work out for the best.
I know this is a serious reply to a good tumblr joke, but I wanted to kind of say that it’s okay to feel like an eternal teenager. It’s not untrue.
Adulthood is s social construct based on responsibilities and expectations around parenthood and work. Behavior counter to that is shamed as immature when what they mean is that it’s inconvenient.
It’s okay to be inconvenient to the social order. Don’t get rid of your teen self just because you’re being pressured by “adult expectations” to do so.
I’m going to scream. Pushback on the narrative that climate breakdown can be averted by individual decisions centres around the fact that NORMAL PEOPLE do not contribute to a significant amount of carbon emissions cos the average NORMAL PERSON emits 7 tons of CO2 a year. Not Taylor fucking Swift who has emitted over 8000 tons of emissions this year SO FAR. Her CO2 emissions from private jet use alone are equivalent to that of TWO THOUSAND normal people. We absolutely should be blaming individuals if those particular individuals are emitting two thousand people’s worth of emissions.
“We should be addressing structural issues” my brother in Christ widespread private jet use is a structural issue. Celebrity culture and the extravagant lifestyle that comes with it is a structural issue. These are whole industries that are massively impacting climate breakdown but because Taylor happens to be the most egregious case her stans want to pretend it’s not a problem. Stan culture really is a disease
also please note that this scientist is in fact the retired man who invented the xbox.
oh fuck i listened to a podcast that was interviewing him and the process he went through to make this bread, ologies with allie ward
like he went through full on clean room levels of prep to ensure that this was 100% yeast from old egypt and had to bend over backwards to ensure everything involved was uncontaminated
thinking about a person with those butterfly wings with eyespots in the place of regular eyes and instead of blinking they fold and unfold their wings. like this.
