I had a really bad migraine last night, but I’ve run out of everything except these hungarian pain killers my dad gave me 9 years ago, anyway I don’t remember anything and I can’t feel my tongue and the only thing in my search history is this
it’s insane how the patagonian fires are more devastating than the ones in california and nobody gives a shit
i bet you, the person reading this, didn’t even know that there’s been fires going on since the start of the year and that already 25 THOUSAND HECTARES (62K ACRES) HAVE BURNT DOWN
You own the home you live in. The last owners painted the walls of your bedroom a horrible off white.
You fucking hate it. Every day you wake up to off-white walls and off-white ceilings and pass through your off-white door to get to the rest of the house. You feel like you’ve been locked up in a padded room. It makes you want to die.
So what is there to do? Well, you own the home. Go out and get some paint, a roller or two, and a drop cloth. If the color makes you want to kill yourself, you should obviously change it.
But what if you didn’t hate it. What if it just mildly perturbed you? Or maybe what if you didn’t, like, reeeeeally mind it all that much, but you knew that another color would make you a lot happier? Does the decision that you come to change?
Sure, it’s work moving the furniture out, setting up, painting, making sure you get the edges, cleaning up, letting it all dry, etc, but isn’t adding joy to your life worth the effort? Don’t you owe it to yourself to subtract mediocrity and add happiness? Do you need to be miserable to envision a better life?
Anyway all that to say go start those hormones. You don’t have to hate yourself to think of a happier life

My laptop ran an update while I was sleeping last night which would’ve been fine except that the fan pad it sits on has rgb lights that fire up whenever the the computer first powers on, so in the middle of the night my computer finished its restart sequence and this happened:
Also I need you all to know that I made that gif myself purely because it was the only way I could think of to adequately relay my experience.
“Why do you sleep in the same room as your computer/why don’t you turn it off all the way before bed?” I usually use it to play audiobooks because it’s easier for me to fall asleep that way.
“Why do you have gamer lights?” I needed a cooling pad for my laptop and they came baked in.
“Why do computers update in the middle of the night?” Because it’s usually less annoying than having them try to update during the day while you’re using them. Usually.
“This happened to me too.” We are siblings-in-arms, separated by time and space but bound together by a shared suffering (getting flashbanged by technology in the middle of the night).
“Just like caramelldansen.” Yeah.
I initially tapped the gif thinking it would play caramelldansen

When I was in kindergarten I saw a painting of the American Revolutionary War. I asked my mom, “Who were the good guys and who were the bad guys?” And she said, “That’s not really how war works. It’s not like a TV show. Both sides thought they were right, otherwise they wouldn’t have been fighting.” And my seven year old ass went “Oh ok”
Anyway having internalized that fun fact in literally kindergarten? It surprises me how many college-educated adults still don’t seem to know about it.
OP your mum is correct but also you realise this was literally about the American Civil War where there very much was a good guys and bad guys side?
Like I appreciate the sentiment but it’s one of the few wars where you can very easily pick the side that was validated by history.
Everyone’s always posting about how the cursed amulet is making their friends evil. If everyone has a cursed amulet, have you considered that not having a cursed amulet is making you evil? Maybe the cursed amulets are actually saving us from being evil. That’s probably why people feel compelled to share theirs. Here, take a hit of mine, see how it feels.
literally what the fuck do you mean its still january. how is that remotely possible. its been six months minimum
Repeating periods of time appear longer or shorter depending on how many novel things happen or don’t happen during them. These sure are interesting times
i love wikipedia and i think it is good and right to give them money but all their funding drive messages are “well… we’ll be killing ourselves tonight. we asked so little of you and yet it seems that simply nobody cares about lil ol wikipedia anymore….sad…”

See that picture above? That’s a close up of my great grandmother’s immigration papers when she first came to the US back in the early 20th century. But my great grandma’s information isn’t the important part here. The important part is that line in the middle there about how they arrived in the country.
And how ‘stowaway’ is a legitimate, valid option to select.
So yeah. They absolutely just showed up, and that part of immigration history needs to be talked about a lot more.
REMINDER THAT TRAVEL VISAS AS WE KNOW THEM TODAY WERE INVENTED IN THE 1930S TO KEEP JEWISH REFUGEES OUT OF COUNTRIES THAT DID NOT WANT AN ‘INFLUX’ OF THEM, THEREBY FACILITATING THEIR GENOCIDE :)))))

what is THE worst thing you’ve ever drank. all liquids acceptable. please tell me what it was, bonus points for why
Hey whoa hi. Hello. I am looking directly into your ear canal. What do you mean you drank a tube of virus concentrate.
So, I was working in a lab, right? My job in the lab was preparing a pure, concentrated enough sample of virus. This is tricky since, y'know, viruses require hosts to replicate, but you then need to get the host cells (and the pieces of the host cells that died!) out of the sample while still keeping the viruses. Once I’d finished and the samples had been sent to the database for analysis as well as a second one sent to be frozen for future reference, there was still some left over that needed to be disposed of.
I, knowing that this was a once in a lifetime opportunity, waited carefully for the lab director to be deep in conversation with someone else on the other side of the laboratory. And then I took my chance.
Test tubes, as it turns out, are really bad as shot glasses. Their shape turns any liquid inside into a stream, so you really can’t knock it back quickly - it takes a couple seconds. Additionally, the best way I can describe the taste of virus concentrate was “sterile rot”. A very unique kind of bad! Made worse by the test tube’s inefficiency as a shot glass.
(by the way we were studying bacteriophages, not animal viruses. these viruses are too specialized on attacking prokaryotes to even recognize our cells as targets at all, according to studies.)
(but also like. if the viruses managed to successfully switch hosts and killed me with a violent infection, itd still be worth it.)
(for science.)
