LMAO WHOOPS

[myxomycota]

i was so excited to discover this log of Dictydiaethalium plumbeum yesterday!! i’d only seen pictures of this strange slime before but i wasn’t sure whether it was present in Aotearoa because it has no previous iNaturalist observations here. Upon further investigation i learned it was first observed here in 1915, and has only three other confirmed observations in the country since then !! I tried my best to capture the perfect bubblegum pink of the immature slime but its very reflective… oh and shoutout to its little purple springtail friend :-)

I know that logically everything that happens beyond my knowledge is a result of entirely mundane forces, but also I've got terminal pattern recognition and number association autism. So when two huge Admech reveals come on the day of and right after a really shit personal holiday, the Powerwolf album is releasing on another Day That Will Be Hard, and consistently throughout my undergrad warhammer reveal shows, codex releases, and band album drops would be like The Day after a major exam or challenge, it is really hard not to start considering that a subtly divine level of correlation.

wait no. the problematic media i'm a fan of is "piers anthony novels." the man has never written anything i could actually recommend to anyone.

Germ Theory Ver. 2.0.0 is here!!!

Hey folks! The team and I have been working tirelessly in the background to update Germ Theory to give YOU the best sickness features! Today marks the release of version 2.0, and we're real excited to share with you the fruits of our labor. Hope you enjoy! (Non-refundable)

Changelog:

-added macroscopic Germs. These act the same as microscopic germs, they can just range in size from about 1 mm to 5 cm in diameter. During playtesting we found that the macroscopic Germs faced some unique challenges in actually entering the body, so to compensate they were given a small buff. All macroscopic Germs look like edible silly putty and taste like mildly overcooked rice in order to increase the chance of ingestion.

-added Stat trackers. These items are attachable to any non-functional body part. They will keep a running tally of how many germs enter your bloodstream, as well as how many your white blood cells destroy. Additionally, you can purchase antibody production trackers that will keep count of the antibodies you produce that bind to a specific type of virus/bacteria (tax deductible)

-fixed a bug where some viruses were abusing the physics engine to clip through membranes without the necessary receptor keys unlocked

-tried to remove the flu again, but at this point I'm not sure we're ever actually going to succeed

-buffed hand sanitizer so it kills 100% of germs. It also dissolves significant amounts of skin cells to counteract the raw power it now wields (complete dissolution of a mouse corpse was timed at 4 hours)

-added tax evasion

-hand washing no longer involves rubbing your hands together. Now you just wave them under the water stream for about 30 seconds each.

-fixed a bug that allowed chicken pox to remain in the body and recur later in life as shingles

I love this idea that nukes can “destroy all life on Earth”.

Know your fucking place, ape. All your governments combined have 7000 megatons of nuclear capability. Chicxulub—which you may notice did not annihilate all life on Earth—was one hundred million.

100 million divided by 7000 is 14,285 and 5/7ths. That is how many times bigger the entire world’s nuclear arsenals would need to be just to wipe out seventy percent of all species on Earth.

Oh but that was one impact, whereas nukes could be used systematically? There are 12,500 nuclear devices on Earth, with a mean power of 560 kilotons. Each of those has a blast radius of 2.33 kilometers, 17 km². When you pack a space with overlapping circles (nothing can be missed by avoiding overlap, we’re going for all life on Earth) the most efficient a packing can get is (3 × √3)/2π, which reduces the effective blast to 14 km²—all 12,500 combined can only affect 175,000 square kilometers. The land area of the Earth is 148.326 million square kilometers: your entire species’s nuclear arsenals can affect 0.118 percent of this planet’s land. (There would be attendant ecological disaster but, again, dwarfed to insignificance by “all life on Earth”.)

Now get down on your hands and knees and lick the dirt, animal, to show you repent your hubris and presumption, that you dared compare your little tribal moots to gravity.

Macroscopic Mac & Cheese

From the Avengers Campus Cookbook.

It’s a pretty decent baked Mac and cheese recipe. I’d make it again.

my biggest 🤓 feeling is always when people are like “omg wish we could go back to pangea” and i have to stop the paleontology devil living inside me from going “actually living on pangea kind of would have sucked a lot”

me: procrastinating and thinking I can learn the whole musculoskeletal system in a few days

*oral exam in four days, a written paper due in five, a birthday and a belated family Christmas party all in the same week*

me, the Sunday before: I may have girlbossed a little too close to the sun
