Fascination at Its Finest

this is hilarious when you consider how frequently ppl used to die from this

It would be just as effective as a full on strike, without risking their jobs in anti union states. Especially if they made public newspaper announcements that this is what they will ALL be doing.

This is called “Work-To-Rule” (a form of malicious compliance), and is a very useful and effective tool in labor organization!

I would let a racoon do surgery on me

Have you seen their little hands? Those motherfuckers would give me a great heart transplant for the low low cost of a cold pizza slice

you do realize where racoons' little hands have been right

is that the...only reason you wouldn’t let a raccoon give you a heart transplant?

Come on! They are so well known for washing their hands that they’s called “washing bears” in German! You don’t have to worry about where their hands have been!

Well! you heard it folks, getting a heart transplant from a raccoon is perfectly safe!

where is the raccoon getting the heart

don't worry about it

how can him go inside but me not

This is illegally sweet.  

Oh my god ❤️

Absolutely love this

58 seconds to demonstrate EXACTLY why professionalism requires manners.

This gave me hives

Me in the office

Yeah.

The idea of King Arthur being the equivalent to our modern day shows/anime is both a little insulting but also hilarious.

It is though. It’s the medieval equivalent of the MCU or Naruto.

The stories of the Knight of the Round Table or Charlemagne’s Paladins were 100% just the medieval Justice League or Avengers.

I was today’s years old when I learned Lancelot and King Arthur ain’t real????

lol no Arthur might have existed but if he did he was a native Briton warlord fighting the Anglo-Saxons that got so mythologized that within everything written about him whatever was originally true in the oral legends about him was lost and overly mythologized by the time a version of his story was first written down in the 500s. The time Arthur supposedly existed was probably around the 200s to 400s because some of his legends involve him or members of his court fighting the remains of the western Roman empire. Lancelot is just an invention by a French poet lol. Chretien de Troyes specifically. Also he was supposedly a lost French nobleman raised by a fairy that lives in a lake so yeah if you dig into the original written legends for more than like ten lines using modern logic you can figure out that they’re not based on real people. Most people don’t read the original source material though so I don’t blame you for not knowing. I think the original poems and compilations are fascinating but I also have a special interest in old literature and studied it in college and know that most people like to read stuff written after 1890 when literature actually Became Good.

Arthuriana has always been reenvisioned. It’s all fanfic. Write your own!

The most historically accurate version of the Arthurian Legends was done by Monty Python. Not a punchline.

Also there’s strong evidence that Arthur was originally Welsh. Arthurian legends are like a multi-country collab project over the course of centuries

@beyondthisdarkhouse

Remember that Galahad was made up by the church when Lancelot became popular. They were like, Our OC is way better than Lancelot. He’s his son, but get this he’s super pure and pious and he ACHIEVES THE GRAIL

this is the first good thing tumblr has ever recommended to me or to anyone else

me and the girls after we get vaccinated

Regular doctors don’t necessarily know much about nutrition/diet either. I started seeing a dietician this year and she was straight up horrified by some of the advice given to me by my doctor.

She’s right and should say it. Speaking from an entirely different part of this grand conspiracy, a lot of this shit is made up and pushed to sell expensive niche cookbooks to your parents. The amount of books about keto and and “clean eating” i sell to boomers and older Gen X is absurd.

the phrase “curiosity killed the cat” is actually not the full phrase it actually is “curiosity killed the cat but satisfaction brought it back” so don’t let anyone tell you not to be a curious little baby okay go and be interested in the world uwu

These made me feel better

what the fuck why haven’t i heard the full version to any of these 

I’ve always felt like these were cut down on purpose.

I really like these phrases and plan on spreading this knowledge.

The early bird catches the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

I want to make designs out of these.

Funny how all the half-finished ones encourage uniformity and upholding the status-quo, while the complete proverbs encourage like…living exciting, eclectic lives driven by choice and personal passion.

NICE

The legendary thread is back

IT’S FUCKING BACK!!!!!!!!

Yeah these are DEFINITELY cut short for a reason, make no fucking mistake.

I love the orchestra trying and failing to maintain a straight face throughout

Exactly. These people had to rehearse at least a few times all at once yet when it's nkt their turn to play they still look at that guy with the typewriter as if he was the most fascinating thing they have ever seen.

My husband's wind ensemble played this song when he was in high school! you can do it with normal auxillery percussion, but it's so much more fun if you do it with a real typewriter

now that is a writing mood

An orchestral piece for writers!

cats have to be very small but they are allowed to do as many crimes as they want. that's the deal they made with god

LET THEM KNOW!!! LET LIL BOYS KNOW.
