hey sexy. I can tell by the frequency of your blog updates that you are once again avoiding it all

Did you know a chunk of an iceberg the size of Chicago broke off in Antarctica ? Theres a whole world under there but that right there is a new Isopod!!!

Artic Isopods in general very much resemble bugs here on land.

ID: first photo shows a person from the knees down with a little white fluffy curly-haired dog tugging on their shoelaces to untie them. in the second photo the person is knelt down retying their shoe and the dog has its head wedged between their arm and their shin, its nose as close to the laces as possible. end ID.

Guy on metro had a shitty little dog who spent 20 minutes untying his laces and waiting patiently with his nose 3 millimeters away for them to be re-tied before wreaking havoc again. Over and over. Owner did not care. Dogs name was Quentin.

CANT believe they discovered a period 19 oscillator for conways game of life and i DID NOT HEAR ABOUT IT !

a refresher: conways game of life is something called a cellular automata. it consists of an infinite grid of cells which are either alive or dead. every step, update every cell all at once according to the amount of living adjacent cells (orthogonally and diagonally). if a dead cell has exactly 3 living neighbors, it becomes alive, and a living cell only survives if it has 2 or 3 living neighbors.

an oscillator, in conways game of life, is any pattern which repeats itself after some fixed amount of steps. for example, the blinker, the most common oscillator, will repeat after 2 steps:

the first generation is 3 cells horizontally, then the next generation is 3 cells vertically. then the generation after that is 3 cells horizontally again; it repeats! it repeats after 2 steps of simulation, so it is called a period 2 oscillator.

here's a more complicated oscillator, the period 15 pentadecathalon:

now, for high enough periods, there is actually a general solution for making an oscillator of any period you want. there's a pattern called the glider; it is the simplest and most common spaceship, a spaceship being any pattern which moves in a direction:

there's also a pattern called the snark, which basically just sits there and does nothing until a glider hits it from a specific direction. when that happens, it causes a reaction which leaves the snark unharmed and reflects the glider 90 degrees. if you set up a bunch of snarks bounding gliders around in a loop, you can create an oscillator of any period you want by adjusting the size of the loop. the smallest period this works for is period 43:

you can't go lower than 43 because that's how many steps it takes for the snark to be ready to reflect another glider, and nobody has found a way to reflect gliders faster than that. still, that means you only need to find oscillators for 42 different periods, and then you'll have proven that an oscillator exists for every single possible period!

before july 14th, there were only two periods for which they hadn't found any oscillators: period 19 and period 41. they still havent found a period 41 oscillator, but they have found a period 19!

this is what it looks like! it is called "cribbage" and it was discovered by a guy named mitchell riley. it is SO silly.

ID: first image is tags reading, "that poem about earthworms". second image is a photo of a page of a book. the poem is titled "feeding the earthworms". it reads,

Ever since I found out that earth worms have taste buds / all over the delicate pink strings of their bodies, / I pause dropping apple peels into the compost bin, imagine / the dark, writhing ecstasy, the sweetness of apples / permeating their pores. I offer beets and parsley, / avocado, and melon, the feathery tops of carrots.

I'd always thought theirs a menial life, eyeless and hidden, / almost vulgar--though now, it seems, they bear a pleasure / so sublime, so decadent, I want to contribute however I can, / forgetting, a moment, my place on the menu.

end ID.

i have crazy garlic fingers from peeling and chopping garlic cloves yesterday this phenomenon is always fascinating to me because it reminds me that i, too, am made of meat, and therefore i am also susceptible to being seasoned

just remember, tense your shoulders, grit your teeth, take rapid shallow breaths and say to yourself ”oh shit, oh fuck, this is all my fault”
