One thing nobody tells you about adulthood is how lonely it can be. Everyone is always working full time, your schedules never work around each other, and it becomes harder to make solid friendships. It’s no wonder so many people stay in boring or shitty relationships because at least you have someone to do things with. I’ve lately discovered the joys of doing things myself because I couldn’t just wait around for my friends to clear their schedules and I’ll be damned if I get into a bad relationship out of loneliness

bro you better shut the fuck up before i look at you one day and feel warm and realize i’ve fallen in love with you bro. im serious quit it dude

the sun has no business tapping out at the tender hour of 5pm bitch i have depression

Seasonal depression is no joke. The sun is setting at 4pm, it’s cold and it’s dark. It’s easy to feel hopeless. So reach out. Talk with friends, Have a nice hot glass of tea (or coco, or coffee, whatever makes you happy!) Invest in a SAD light therapy device, Eat plenty of food with Vitamin D, and remember better days are coming

The length of time it takes to say a paternoster was a typical method of reckoning time in the Middle Ages. It’s likely that whoever wrote this remedy down was thinking of it both as a prayer and a timespan and that whoever read it would have understood it the same way.

Before oven thermometers existed, one way to check the temperature of your oven was to stick your hand inside and recite an Our Father. The length of time before you snatch your hand out was timed by how far you’d gotten in the prayer. The shorter the time, the hotter the oven. So you knew that if you wanted a hot oven to bake bread, you wanted your hand out by “kingdom” (for example) but to slow cook a stew, you might want the oven cool enough to get to “trespasses”.

All absolutely standard, and also varied from region to region. The use of prayer was more common than most, since the Catholic church had a monopoly on… well, pretty much everything. And all the prayers were in Latin, and at a specific cadence, so the effect is similar to watching the second hand on a clock today.

Soda is bubbly soup.

Soup is boring soda.

Make your own goddamn controversial post

O hmy god

I’m disturbed

This is like reading of two people getting into an argument in a bar then one of them commits a war crime.

Why slam the door once when you can do it three fucking times?

i had an incredibly visceral reaction to this

studio ghibli movies are like if someone took all of your fondest, softest childhood dreams and put them into a film

Sometimes? I think you mean all of the time.

Being an adult is just parenting yourself.
