Honestly bizarre that tomatoes get all the flack for “not being a vegetable” because they're technically a fruit when:

A) There are a ton of fruits that get categorised as vegetables. Like this also applies to pumpkins, squashes and cucumbers.

B) The fucking mushrooms are standing there at the back of the crowd in this witch trial, trying to look inconspicuous because they somehow got into the vegetable club with no fucking controversy despite the fact that they're not even plants.

Im from India hiiiiiii :D

My first anime was, obvi, Pokemon (I was like 7 or smth) but the first anime I watched knowing fully well it was an anime was probably Naruto (I was 11)

That post about death note being "everyone's first anime" (untrue statement) made me curious and now I want to gather data for science

Can you reblog this and tell me where are you from and what was your starter anime?

Brazilian photographer Sebastião Salgado and his wife, Lélia Deluiz Wanick Salgado, have been instrumental in reforesting the Rio Doce Basin area in Brazil since 1998. Through their organization, Instituto Terra, they have planted over 2.7 million trees, successfully restoring more than 550 acres of forest and 2,000 natural springs. 

Their efforts have transformed a once barren landscape into a thriving forest ecosystem, demonstrating the profound impact that dedicated reforestation initiatives can have on environmental restoration.

I’m majoring in cognitive science so imma elaborate a bit!

- The “left brain logic” and “right brain creative” thing is a myth that comes from the fact that certain brain processes (language comprehension, for example) only take place on one side of the brain. People are not “left brained” or “right brained,” that’s just not a thing. However, some really wacky shit does happen if you separate the hemispheres.

- Your brain never stops developing. Your prefrontal cortex (decision making center) finishes major development at ~25, but neuroplasticity and synaptic pruning are always at work

- The 10% thing is just complete bullshit. If you use 100% of your brain at one time, that’s called a seizure.

y'all know that whole left-brained/right-brained thing is fake right? and the "brain fully develops at age 25" thing? and the "we only use 10% of our brains" thing? yeah they're all complete horseshit please yell at anyone who says them
