there's been plenty of pushback against youtube's plan to age-check users by using an AI to analyze everyone's watching habits, but amidst that, i spotted this playlist circulating among some teens:

(picture is a reconstruction to protect the kids identity)

interesting! they're trying to trick the AI by watching videos that have a primarily adult viewer demographic? well im a curious fella so naturally i have to take a look-see, and

jokes to make after failure that aren’t self-deprecating:

I’m the best to ever do it

Nobody saw that (best if said loudly)

No one’s ever done it like me

I could be President/they should make me President

Behold, a mere fraction of my power!

The public wants to be me soooooo bad

I’m an expert in (thing you just failed at)

How could this have happened to god’s favorite princess?

Nothing ibuprofen and a glass of water cant fix

I’m being sabotaged

The birds and the bees talk, but it's actually about bee reproduction because it turns out that bee reproduction is weird, and it really paints human sexual reproduction as completely arbitrary and not at all "sacred". Here's what I mean:

- Female bees can only give birth to female bees if the egg has been fertilized by a male bee.

- Female bees can only give birth to male bees if the egg has not been fertilized. Yes, that's right: male bees do not have fathers and cannot have sons. They are half-clones of their mother. Male and female don't fit in bee culture.

- Male bees (drones) are overwhelmingly useless apart from spreading genetic material. They die after mating.

- Queen bees don't have special genetics. Any female bee could have become a queen bee if they were fed "royal jelly" as a larvae.

- "Royal jelly" is secreted from the heads of female adult worker bees, and the closest human analog is breast milk, but pumped full of sexual development hormones like HRT or those that are naturally pumped out during puberty.

- The workers choose 15-20 worker larvae to become queens if the queen scent becomes too faint.

- All of the queen larvae are sealed inside their own big round cell to pupate.

- Now here's the fun part: When the queens start hatching, they all call each other simultaneously, even if they're still pupating. They all then fight to the death. The still-pupating queens are murdered of their own instinctive volition.

- No wait, here's the fun part. The victorious queen flies off in a victory lap, being tailed by drone bees from other hives. She's fertilized multiple times mid-flight (the lucky drones dying as a result), and then returns home. This is the only mating she ever does.

- Upon returning, if the original queen is still there, the new queen stabs her with here stinger and takes over.

- Sometimes the old queen leaves with a swarm before the new queen arrives back from the mating flight, in which case the new queen takes over what remains of the kingdom.

- After the most exciting day of her life, the queen spends the rest of her life doing one thing: eating and laying eggs in empty cells. When she starts to slow down, the worker bees raise up a new queen gladiator style to murder the current one.

Antler Boys and the Talchum and Pungmul! The masks will play a major role in KyuHo's side of the story, especially the Winged Lion! It's one of the main reasons why I chose his hometown to be in Andong-si, South Korea. :D I'm basing his town off of the Hahoe Folk Village.

I've been doing a lot of thinking about my family and how I was treated as a child, and honestly, my father has never seemed more amazing in my eyes.

I used to love Luigi(Mario's brother) when I was little. Like, he was my favorite character ever, and I had multiple plushies of him. Didn't give a fuck about Mario, vaguely tolerated Peach, but I loved Luigi.

On my first day of kindergarten, my dad gave me the number for his work phone and said it was Luigi's phone number. "If anything happens at school, call Luigi."And not even twenty minutes into my first day, I was having a panic attack. So I went down to the principal's office and called "Luigi."

Now, at the time, my father was in a meeting with his manager and his supervisor, along with most of his coworkers. And when I called, he picked up before he even left the room.

And he put on a very awful Italian accent and said, "Itsa me, Luigi! Whatsa the matter?"In front of his boss and coworkers. Without telling them what was going on. So they were absolutely bewildered, and he carried on like they didn't even exist. He only explained what was happening after I had calmed down and hung up, to which most of them responded with "Aww, cute."

I continued to call him whenever I got upset at school, and eventually his coworkers got in on it. I distinctly remember one of them impersonating Toad. I don't know why I'm telling you this, I just thought it might make you smile :)

this is so delightful I love your Luigi dad
