I love entomologist humor. There is this famous butterfly, the one species everyone knows, the regal and instantly recognizable Monarch butterfly

and back in the day a very similar species of butterfly was discovered and thought to have evolved to mimic the Monarch (we now know this isn’t quite the case)

But because this smaller butterfly seemed to be impersonating a Monarch, they named it the “Viceroy” in a joke that is criminally underrated and makes me chuckle every time I see one of these little dudes. Clearly he’s doing important work as an appointed governor ruling in place of the sovereign

Hi

Can a site force you to do capcha to enter a site even after you did it hours ago?

[coralwolfcreator]

Good to know

I need ya’ll to realize running back to TikTok like nothing fucking happened is exactly what this motherfucker wants. He wants you to run back and to be grateful. He wants you to forget that the Supreme Court has just passed something that indicates they can pursue intense censorship and remove our access to free speech and non-propagandized/monitored spaces whenever they want. He wants you to be so focused on all this that you completely forget that he’s about to pass at least a hundred horrific policies stripping us of our rights as soon as this week. He wants you to stop talking about Palestine who is still in danger and is in desperate need of aid despite the ceasefire. He wants you to turn your attention away from all the people in LA suffering thanks to the fires.

I don’t want to say it’s just an app, because it’s not. I was incredibly sad about losing TikTok yesterday. Many of us had a community that meant a great deal to us torn away suddenly and I am not saying we shouldn’t be upset about that. But I am saying that as much as the Supreme Court has more important things they should be focusing on over banning TikTok we have more important things to do then run back to an app that was obviously used for a publicity stunt by Trump and will inevitably be influenced by him and his fascism.

We’ve been discussing boycotting Instagram, Facebook, Twitter/X, and other Meta platforms due to their connections to Trump and his posse of billionaires. TikTok must be treated the same way so long as the CEO and company is in Trump’s pocket.

True

There’s a reason these people are fucking stupid and proud of it.

[coralwolfcreator]

hmm... I think

Weird Question

If you had to give the Anubis House Members powers... What would they be?

[coralwolfcreator]

hmm... Who asked?

House of Anubis Super Powers

Someone asked the question, if House of Anubis characters had super powers what they would be? These are my thoughts, and now I want to write a story based on our favorite characters having these powers with at boarding school together solving mysteries.

Patrica: Pyrokensis

The red hair alone totally gives firey vibes and her attitude to match. She burns with passion for those she cares for rises from the ashes when problems occur.

Amber: Hydrokensis

Not quite sure why I chose water control for Amber, it just fits for some reason.

Nina: Time travel.

I figure the Chosen One should be able to travel to the past and future when needed.

Eddie: Telekinesis

As Nina's Osirian I figured being able to read her thoughts/feel her emotions would go hand-in-hand as her protector. It would also help him when dealing with Patrica's moods.

Joy: Invisibility

Sorry, but not sorry! It just fit... "Where's joy?" It comes to her advantage when easedropping on Sibuna in Season 2. Sometimes she feels iced out so it kinda fits.

Fabian: Eidetic Memory (speed reading/memorization)

Just think of how much he could retain and learn for Sibuna if Fabian could memorize chapters and speed read.

Mick: Agility (strength/speed)

This one was easy and straightforward.

Jerome: Shapeshifting

He can be sneaky and easily manipulates others by shifting forms to help him on his side quests while at school.

Alfie: Ability to control the weather.

Like Amber, not quite sure why I chose this for Alfie. Just seems like something Alfie would have and could use to his advantage when needed.

Mara: Nocturnal Endurance

How else can Mara stay up all night studying?

Trudy: Teleportation

Trudy would love being able to teleport from room to room without out having to worry about carry the laundry basket tmdown the steps or a quick pop-in to the store.

Victor: Mind control.

Almost chose time manipulation, but I think mind control would fit him too.

What would you chose for Anubis residents superpowers? Thoughts on my ideas?

[coralwolfcreator]

Ghost navis suck, especially when you find them.

How hard is it to find one stupid clown!

[coralwolfcreator]

... FUCK

imagine how much of a fucking horrible person you have to be that on the first day your elected into office the crisis calls of a Suicide Prevention Project Go Up 33%. The Trevor Project Received over 1,400 Call By Early Monday Afternoon. Most of those calls, if not all, are coming from children. Children scared of you and what you will do. Imagine how much power and how horrible you have to be to do that.

[coralwolfcreator]

Absolutely

Just cried. “So this is how democracy dies… with thunderous applause” has never been so strongly felt

[coralwolfcreator]

Also Autistic. Cannot believe he blamed autism... He's such a schmuck.

fyi if you're trying to use the fact that that rancid ass muskrat cunt is autistic to be like "oh he didn't know what he did was wrong" about the fact that he threw up a fucking nazi salute then you are one of the stupidest fucking cunts to walk the earth and since we're in a housing crisis you should start offering the massive amount of empty fucking space in your skull for rent

(signed, an autistic person)

[coralwolfcreator]

That's an understatement to describe that shitshow...

Why wasn't Mara taken earlier?

In my fanfic, it’s really because the bad guys were prioritizing taking out the enemy who knew what they were up to. Patricia just saw an opportunity at the play and took it

[coralwolfcreator]

That's a very interesting way to look at things.

HOA is so interesting when it comes to destiny, even for characters who aren't supposed to have one, and the parallels they have with other characters.

Nina, I don't even have to TALK about Nina being a perfect mirror to Sarah, but an interesting thing about Eddie is that even though there's only one episode where he's Nina's Osirian, throughout Season Three, if you look for parallels between him and Rufus you WILL find them. The suaveness that things will go his way, the pride that it's because he's special, he's the Osirian. Things backfire for him because he overestimated his abilities, like the vision showing him placing the staff into the ground. He also is very blunt in a way Rufus sometimes was, not taking a character's obvious discomfort as a sign to stop him from getting the information he wanted. "You're the girl from my dream. Did you have a grandpa, he was sick? Did he give you a key?"

But really, I made this post for FABIAN, with his parallels to Victor. They're supposed to be "The ones without destiny's" and yet their parallels give them a tragic one. They both lose the Chosen One, possibly for years considering he was nothing more than a mention at the reunion and it's not proven if he was married to Nina. Their own hubris is always what leads to their downfall, both in the way they became Sinners, but also how they buckle under peer pressure. Victor to his father, making him act terribly to Sarah. And Fabian to Nina's grandmother's poor advice, making him an unintentional asshole.

Food for thought.

[coralwolfcreator]

This might also apply to Eddie and Patricia since they actually have a date in the tunnels. But it is funny and very true.

what if we kissed… in the secret tunnels under our british boarding house… with our matching curse tattoos out… and a ghost shouting at us to find the mask of anubis or forfeit our lives… hahaha jk….. unless?

[coralwolfcreator]

Hi

Anyone know why a phone would restart itself? It's very weird.

[coralwolfcreator]

Cool

I couldn’t reboot it for some reason

This is Rob Words explaining punctuation for all of us. Enjoy.

The Nerge: Hunting in the Mongol Empire

The peoples of the Mongol Empire (1206-1368 CE) were nomadic, and they relied on hunting wild game as a valuable source of protein. The Asian steppe is a desolate, windy, and often bitterly cold environment, but for those Mongols with sufficient skills at riding and simultaneously using a bow, there were wild animals to be caught to supplement their largely dairy-based diet. Over time, hunting and falconry became important cultural activities and great hunts were organised whenever there were major clan gatherings and important celebrations. These hunts involved all of the tribe mobilising across vast areas of steppe to corner game into a specific area, a technique known as the nerge. The skills and strategies used during the nerge were often repeated with great success by Mongol cavalry on the battlefield across Asia and in Eastern Europe.

Hunted Animals

The Mongols, like other nomadic peoples of the Asian steppe, relied on milk from their livestock for food and drink, making cheese, yoghurt, dried curds and fermented drinks. The animals they herded - sheep, goats, oxen, camels and yaks - were generally too precious as a regular source of wool and milk to kill for meat and so protein was acquired through hunting, essentially any wild animal that moved. Animals hunted in the medieval period included hares, deer, antelopes, wild boars, wild oxen, marmots, wolves, foxes, rabbits, wild asses, Siberian tigers, lions, and many wild birds, including swans and cranes (using snares and falconry). Meat was especially in demand when great feasts were held to celebrate tribal occasions and political events such as the election of a new khan or Mongol ruler.

A basic division of labour was that women did the cooking and men did the hunting. Meat was typically boiled and more rarely roasted and then added to soups and stews. Dried meat (si'usun) was an especially useful staple for travellers and roaming Mongol warriors. In the harsh steppe environment, nothing was wasted and even the marrow of animal bones was eaten with the leftovers then boiled in a broth to which curd or millet was added. Animal sinews were used in tools and fat was used to waterproof items like tents and saddles.

The Mongols considered eating certain parts of those wild animals which were thought to have potent spirits such as wolves and even marmots a help with certain ailments. Bear paws, for example, were thought to help increase one’s resistance to cold temperatures. Such concoctions as powdered tiger bone dissolved in liquor, which is attributed all sorts of benefits for the body, is still a popular medicinal drink today in parts of East Asia.

Besides food and medicine, game animals were also a source of material for clothing. A bit of wolf or snow leopard fur trim to an ordinary robe indicated the wearer was a member of the tribal elite. Fur-lined jackets, trousers, and boots were a welcome insulator against the bitter steppe winters, too.
