According to the review I just read this video offers more of an explanation for why Palatine is still alive than the new movie does lmao
the way he turns into a polygonal 3D object as he falls is fucking poetic cinema
Every time I watch this I break out into giggles it’s just so funny idk even how to explain it but the animation and the dialogue and everything it gets me every time I love this
i love those “americans only know burger” posts cus its true we literally have a word for when something is insignificant or something without value and yeah. its “nothingburger”. because whats more worthless than nothing burger….
I do wanna say while I’m reblogging hbomberguy stuff that I’m extremely uninterested in calling out anyone’s viewers because they “should’ve known better” or “should’ve seen the red flags.” The entire point of the video is that these people are exploiting an algorithm and churning out massive amounts of content. It’s not a moral failing to not watch a YouTuber’s entire weekly back catalog and google around for criticisms.
I got more I can say about video essays and documentaries and their issues with sourcing in general, but I’m gonna save it.
[ID: an edited Calvin and Hobbes panel where Calvin sits, smiling, at a lemonade stand with a sign taped to the front of the table. It reads: It’s time to retire that other meme and replace it with this template. Change my mind. Next image is the same meme but the sign reads: Steven Crowder does not deserve a meme format. Change my mind. /end]
See this just feels so much better. I’ve read enough of those comics to know that Calvin has some really deep insights rattling around in his head. And look how happy and attentive he looks. You could absolutely have a polite, intelligent, and enriching conversation with this kid. Meanwhile Steven Crowder is so financially incentivized to always look like the smartest guy in any given room that the only way to change his mind is with a 2x4 to the side of the head. Which, I admit, would be enriching in its own way.

Attaching the blank because the imgur link was being temperamental for me. Saved you a click.
Just something I really want to share on here because it’s important.
this is really important to remember, even if you said something stupid and don’t feel like repeating it- it can still feel isolating to folks with hearing and auditory processing problems!
Frustrating thing about tumblr is its not mandatory to see timestamps on posts. If you arent using them in this day and age, youre at risk of not understanding the context of a post or that the information on it may be out of date. I dont think this will reach a wide audience but if you dont have timestamps enabled go to your general settings->dashboard settings and turn timestamps on so you can see when a post written like it’s breaking news is actually from 2017.
For anyone who is unaware, MAP means “minor attracted person” though this is nothing but a false name Pedophiles use in attempt to weasel their way into the Queer community. If you see anyone using this flag, block them and report them if you can.
The whole MAP thing was made up by chucklefucks on 4chan to push the idea that queer people are child molesters and dangerous for your children to be around and want to normalize yada yada you know the drill. It might’ve been used sincerely by some people at a later point, but it wasn’t originally that, and it did pretty much flicker out of existence once the people running the accounts got bored. It was basically a mildly more successful version of the “Super Straight” thing we had a while back.
Backstory: This gentleman escaped from Central Park Zoo in March after his enclosure there was vandalized, and there was a lot of concern over whether or not he could/would survive out of captivity. Unconcerned by this, Flaco settled himself in a particular area of Central Park and spent all the spring, summer, and most of the fall eating large numbers of rats, and genially allowing himself to be photographed by an ever-growing cadre of bird paparazzi.
Then a few weeks ago, possibly irked by repeated mobbing by assorted hawks and corvids, Flaco took off from his normal haunts and went on a brief tour of apartment-building courtyards on the Lower East Side. Now he’s on the Upper West Side, within sight of Central Park (so food’s no problem, should he feel like heading back that way to hunt), and shouting for everybody to hear that he owns the place. The image above shows him on the water tower of an apartment building at 86th and CPW.
If you look back through the Manhattan Bird Alert and Above 96th Twitter feeds, you’ll see many splendid pictures of him. He’s a handsome lad, and it’s good to see him thriving.
What’s in his future? Hard to tell. (Though some people on Twitter are suggesting he should run for mayor.) He may head upstate at some point. But he may decide he’s quite happy to be a Manhattanite. As a fellow one, I wish him very well. :)
I love that an animal escaped from the zoo and everyone just went “no let’s see where he’s going with this”
as someone who has actually tried to get an unflighted adult Eurasian eagle owl back into his box while actually having a good grip on him, I can tell you with reasonable certainty there is no damn way they were ever going to catch him again.
When the death toll for Gaza goes up from disease, Israel will claim deniability, that those deaths were not deliberate and calculated. You see it with how settlers will talk about the genocide of Natives, that most of us “just died from disease then colonizers ‘accidentally spread’”. It is NEVER an accident. Famines and Diseases and always used as tool for genocide by colonizers
I saw the “AD BLOCK IS NOT ALLOWED ON YOUTUBE” popup on YouTube only for it to immediately disappear within a half second. I felt like a lady being shielded by the great knight sir Firefox from a terrible bowmans arrow.
I always get a lot of comments about the 2-key pony keyboard. I wanted to explain how I think they could work. I’ve been told there is an input device called orbiTouch which works on the same principle.
Ok so I’ve got a few asks about my username and there’s a relatively funny story so ok. There is a local annual event in my area every summer, the harbour festival.
Last year I went with friends. I was staying at my friend’s house cause I was gonna get piss drunk. The whole thing is one big party. All an excuse to get drunk.
Anyway we went during the day and we were going back to my friends to get food before we went back. And I really wanted caffeine and I was considering whether I should get a Lucozade or get a coffee at his house.
I decided I’d get some at his but jokingly said “hold on, i hear this fixes all your problems.” Started praying. Now seems a good time to mention that I am a Satanist and my friend is a pagan. I said “damn god if I got some coffee now I would do anything. Anything at all. (Insinuatingly) Like hmm I’d let you peg me in my dreams bro”
I kid you not. I turned the corner to walk down to the car and there was a big bottle of Lucozade right there. Right in front of me on the window sill. And who am I to ignore a sign from God? I took that shit and drank it. Now I’m gods sugar baby I guess.
that is very very funny <3 maybe i need to get railed by a cosmic being?
I think everyone needs to be railed by a cosmic being at least once. If not for enjoyment, just for the experience.
This captures everything I love about being online
This reminds me of the time that I asked if anyone had resources on the history of Shinto and while nobody had book recs, turns out an actual Temple Maiden followed me on Tumblr and was down to chat.
Tumblr has a startling number of well informed insightful people with names that reference obscure hentai.
People are downright interesting when they’re not being duct taped into one box or another.
The world is fucked when historians and linguists and mathematicians and artists of all kinds are forced to work jobs that suck the soul out of them because they didn’t get the right bit of paper from the right building or be born in the wrong place or something
seriously think about how many absolute geniuses spend their free time mastering some obscure realm of knowledge but have to mop up shit for 8 bucks an hour, or pick vegetables for a nickel
I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein’s brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.
omfg im laughing so hard i fell asleep on my keyboard last night and i just found this
PAGE 1 OF 184
One entire row of ‘f’s takes 10 seconds to type. There are 45 lines per page, so you take 450 seconds per page. You claim to have typed 184 pages, which would take a total of 82800 seconds, or exactly 23 hours. You are a liar
You forgot that she was holding down the key. This accelerates the rate at which the f’s appear; once the ‘f’s appear at a rapid rate, it’s about 3.4 seconds per line. Also, 45 lines per page is generous - I counted and given that the page is Times New Roman, 12pt font, it’s about 41 lines.
This means that it’s 139.4 seconds per page, times 184 is 25649.6 seconds, and that rounds out to about 7.1 hours, or 7 hours 7 minutes.

Guys, Elon released his stupid AI on Twitter and the first thing his idiot devotees did was ask it if trans women are really women and they are losing it over getting the correct answer back.
Now it’s recounting Elon’s lies for people too
This may be the only AI bot I’ve ever liked.
It’s roasting him now.
“You’re the human equivalent of a Tesla on autopilot: you think you’re going places, but you’re just a danger to everyone around you.”
