there’s been a really bizarre trend in the past couple years of TERFS/radfems getting pissed off about biology posts. posts about the bilateral gyandromorph cardinal (one half male, one half female), posts about older hens beginning to crow and act like roosters, posts about animals being animals. and it’s hilarious because they interpret these posts as some kind of agenda. no! these are animals not choosing any gender identity or sexuality but being born into bodies they have no control over. weird how that happens in nature huh

still thinking about that r/hypotheticalsituation post where someone was like "what if a potato chip spawned somewhere randomly in the world. and every hour the number of potato chips at that location would double. and the only way to get rid of them for good would be to eat all of the potato chips before they doubled again." and someone calculated that it would only take like, 48 hours of people ignoring a weird pile of potato chips before an absolutely irreconcilable number of potato chips was blanketing a city.
and then people were like "no wait if it spawns randomly in the world, it's highly likely it would be in an ocean" and then people were debating whether there were enough small fish swimming at the surface in the open ocean that would be able to eat a potato chip and thus save humanity from the potato chip apocalypse.

omg ok i’ve been studying chess lately and i’ve just had an interesting little revelation about the knight and how it moves/attacks.
so, every time i have seen an explanation of the basic rules of chess, the knight’s movement is always described as “two squares in one direction (vertical or horizontal), and one square in a perpendicular direction, such that it forms an L shape,” like this:

and that the knight is the only piece that can jump over others. which has always seemed a bit…abstract to me.
but then i heard it described as “one square diagonal, and then one square vertical or horizontal,” like this:

and suddenly it clicked.
i have not studied the history of the piece and how those came to be its rules, but regardless, the knight can be understood, literally, as a horse mounded knight. and when you are riding on a horse, and you have a sword, and you want to hit someone with it, what do you do? you charge past them and swing it to either side of the horse:

that is what the knight does. it doesn’t move in an “L” shape, it moves diagonally and then chooses to attack one of two directions, the left or the right!
and why is the knight the only piece that can jump over others? because when several hundred pounds of horsemeat and steel come barrelling at you at full gallop, you move 😂
anyway, i just thought it was interesting to think of it that way.

people love extolling the virtues of ball-and-socket joints and how it makes us more advanced and all that but I don't see any fucking octopuses in slings now do I. Bones are overrated and I want a refund.
