The most dramatic moment during my Camp Counseling career at an all girls camp was when a girl got a letter from a friend saying that Zac Efron had died and one of her bunkmates ran out of the cabin and shouted “ZAC EFRON IS DEAD!!!!!” and the camp immediately fell into chaos girls were crying in the middle of camp and running around spreading the news everyone was yelling and the counselors had to look up wether or not Zac Efron was dead (this is a wireless camp so the girls couldn’t access the internet and check for themselves) and then get out a megaphone and be like “ZAC EFRON IS NOT DEAD PLEASE REMAIN CALM” outside of all the cabins it was insanity.

Why do we say “slept like a baby” when babies literally wake up screaming every two hours?

I want to sleep like a middle-aged dad who “rests his eyes” during a Marvel movie and wakes up refreshed, confused, and ready to barbecue.

scurvy has got to have one of the biggest disease/treatment coolness gaps of all time. like yeah too much time at sea will afflict you with a curse where your body starts unraveling and old wounds come back to haunt you like vengeful ghosts. unless☝️you eat a lemon

one of my favorite twitter accounts that is defunct now is it was this account called like Crazy Optical Illusions or something and they would just post popular optical illusions but edit them so they werent optical illusions anymore and they would just pretend and people would be very confused / angry in the comments

English has different words for mouse and rat but in Chinese they're both the same creature (laoshu) so I asked my mom well how do you differentiate between mice and rats. She, clearly having never felt the need to do so, was like uhh big laoshu and little laoshu I guess. Then I went online to see how the difference between (the English words) "mouse" and "rat" was being explained to CN->EN learners and there are numerous articles delving deep into the analysis. Bigger vs smaller, indoors vs outdoors, cute and favorable connotations vs evil and ugly, tail length, fear factor, emphasis on the fact that you cannot call it a "computer rat." Much thought is being expended on this little mystery of the English language

those 2010s dove commercials that were like "all women are beautiful... buy our soap" were so shitty and insidious and it sounds crazy to have beef with a commercial but like. I will beef with a commercial. I do think those were a harbinger of very evil #feminist marketing. like there's a direct line from the dove commercials to the ulta commercial that used that Alessia Cara song about how you're beautiful the way you are and don't need to change anything. you know, in an advertisement for a makeup store.

am i the only person who thinks that wen ning is mostly grateful for wwx bringing him back as a fierce corpse?

like yes there are the obvious downsides he dislikes (cant eat, muted sense of touch, unable to sleep, able to be controlled against his will etc) but i feel like when wen ning was alive he felt functionally useless and helpless due to his (spiritual?) illness, and the fact that he had to be protected was what kept wen qing tied to wrh's side and in his service. now that hes a fierce corpse he no longer needs such protection and was able to fight for himself and his loved ones

like. yes i think there are definitely times he hates it. but i think before he lost all of his family and was cursed to be an experiment instead of dying alongside them, i think wen ning was probably mostly grateful and somewhat pleased about his status as a strong fierce corpse

if you want to materially aid palestinians undergoing genocide, please consider donating to the zahrat alhanun mutual aid fund. i personally am in contact with some of the organizers and can attest to the work they do. they're currently low on resources for the palestinian students and families that rely on them. you can learn more about ZAMA here! please share widely!!!!!
