"Good work on enslaving Soll-3 so quickly Z'Fnip. One question though, why do you make them wear loincloths and leather collars?"

"I didn't, that's just how they come dressed for work"

"Even the office workers?"

"Especially the office workers."

"Dear earthlings, prepare to be my slave!" Announced the alien. "You will have to work 3 entire days from Monday to Wednesday, you will only get A5 wagyu steak for meals, and if that isn't cruel enough you'll have to work 2 entire torturing hours of picking strawberries every single work day!"

Time travel stories are fun because you can just say: "they were time fugitives who travel through time to hide from the time police who seek to remove them from the timeline with their time guns"

I firmly believe no other site requires three bachelor's degrees in unrelated fields to understand a pun or shitpost

Having a 3d printer is great for learning how much quality you really need in something.

"I do not need a motor assisted Rolodex function. I need $0.45 worth of filament to hold my cutting boards vertical."

"I do not need a stand that's capable of holding me. I need a stand to hold my glasses and phone on my night table"

I cannot stop thinking about Episode 5 of TADC because Ragatha is, however unintentionally, one of the best examples of how isolating and difficult it is to interact with the world as an autistic person I have ever seen. To the point it genuinely makes me sad to think about her. I need to make a post expanding on this at some point but rn just. The way everyone assumes there’s some sinister hidden meaning to everything she does and says but she’s literally just trying to be nice and she doesn’t understand why it’s not working. The way she tries so hard to make connections but it constantly falls flat, she says things that hurt without realising how or why. She follows the rules she’s been taught will make her friends — she’s kind, she’s forgiving, she’s accepting and apologetic when she messes up, but for some reason it’s just not working. She tries to mimic other people, she tries to laugh at past experiences, tries to open up about her past like everyone else is doing, but now everyone’s uncomfortable and looking at her like she’s crazy and she doesn’t get it!! She doesn’t get it!!! Jax is a jerk and he’s mean to everyone but for some reason Pomni likes him and she doesn’t get it, she doesn’t understand! Pomni tells her it’s okay to be a jerk sometimes but Ragatha doesn’t like being mean, she wants to be nice to people, but she does it anyway, she gets mean like Jax and Zooble do but now Pomni’s looking at her like she’s done something wrong but she just did what she asked her to!! She doesn’t get it!! At the end of the episode everyone goes off into their groups and Ragatha is left alone, after having tried so hard to make friends and fit in and make people like her, she’s still alone, and everyone thinks she’s weird and unapproachable and she just has to give up and accept that she is inherently unloveable. Her evil alter ego tells her she’s going to die alone and nobody loves her and the only thing she corrects her on is the fact that they can’t die here. The few that might like her when she’s around don’t miss her when she’s gone, because there’s nothing to miss. Ragatha has spent her whole life systematically stripping away everything that makes her different and unlikeable in order to make herself more palatable to others, and in the process she has made herself a personalitiless blank slate with no unique identity for others to latch onto and appreciate. She has nothing to add to any conversation because she’s too afraid of being disliked to have a memorable personality beyond being generally polite and nice. And just. God. Someone get this girl some noise cancelling headphones and a therapist on speed dial, being this good of a representation of what it’s like to be autistic, especially to be an autistic person with trauma, is not good for the soul. That final shot just destroys me right in the heart. My poor girl.

A team of paleontologists affiliated with several institutions in Argentina, working with a colleague from the U.K., has discovered evidence of scales from lepidopterans in dung samples recovered from a dig site in Talampaya National Park, Argentina. In their paper published in the Journal of South American Earth Sciences, the group describes how they found the scales in the dung samples and what the find means for scientists who study butterflies and moths.

Tumblr is the only site that keeps its users on their toes anymore. Yeah, other sites will dox you but only this site has the freaks that go around identifying the doorknob brands in the background of strangers pet photos. Like, I'm sure they exist on other sites, but this is their hunting ground.

I feel like this should go without saying, but if you bleed on your library book, you need to tell someone instead of just putting it in the book drop and walking away

I promise you Jack Chick's thought process was

Thing A bad

Thing B bad

Thing A and B therefore connected

For literally any subject.

In doing my research on Chick Tracts for these posts, I kept finding this weird fundamentalist conspiracy theory that the Catholic Church was behind the rise of the Soviet Union. Besides the obvious reason, this doesn’t make sense. Russia is one of the few countries in Europe that Catholicism has had little influence on. 

In modern Russia, 66,840,000 (46.6%) of the population identify as Christian. Of this population:

41% (58,800,000) are Russian Orthodox;

4% (5,900,000) are non-denominational Christian

1.5% (2,100,000) are other Orthodox churches

0.2% (400,000) are Old Believers, a 17th-century offshoot of the Russian Orthodox Church

0.2% (300,000) are Protestants

and 0.1% (140,000) are Catholic

And this isn’t a recent trend. It doesn’t matter if you are talking about modern Russia, the Soviet Union, or the Russian empire; Catholics have always been few in number and viewed with suspicion, not helped by the fact most Catholics in Russia are members of non-Russian minorities such as Poles, Lithuanians, and Germans. This is like saying Buddhists are behind the Arab-Isreali conflict! It makes as much sense.

I'm

A menace, a dentist, an oral hygienist

Open your mouth for about four to five minutes

Man you got cavities

Ope! There goes gravity

Good god, hip, do a little slide

Bend over, tuck your head and just glide

To the dance floor

It's your chance for

A little romance for

Mi salsa
