hey bro can i ask you a question that will reveal a deep and fundamental gap in my knowledge of the world

of course bro opening up about your lack of knowledge and asking questions is the only way to fill in that fundamental gap

Bro do you know there is nothing I like better than filling in the deep and fundamental gaps in peoples' knowledge of the world like some kind of pedagogical pothole mender

writing is so fun

writing is impossible why does anyone do this

Well I wasn’t planning on bringing a Geiger counter to church but now that you bring it up

there's a group of high school boys in this McDonald's and I just heard one of them say "I bet you you cannae break your own arm" so something interesting might happen shortly

update: they are settling the bet by googling whether or not it's possible for a person to deliberately break their own arm. narratively this is a letdown but I suppose in other ways it's for the best

parental controls on the internet should go the other way around. my mom should not be spending her screen time this way.

Crawling out of my grave to rub my eyes sleepily, grimace, and crawl back in for another five minutes. 

It’s so sad that students are now relying so heavily on AI for writing essays because they’re missing out on the best part of writing an essay which is when you’re a few paragraphs in and you just reach that flow state where your thought process becomes one with the essay and you’re slamming the keys so hard that you’re on the verge of destroying your laptop. I used to get high off of that shit

why didn't they just leave pompeii when the volcano erupted? were they stupid?

Fun fact: they did leave Pompeii! It's estimated that the population pre-eruption was something like 20,000, and the most likely number of dead in is in the range of 1,500-4,000. So most people just did leave Pompeii, it's just that not everyone left or could leave.

I'd have still left. the human body is capable of wonderful things in the face of danger

A lot of people died in the boats tho:/

I would have paddled away quickly

The scariest thing about pyroclastic flow is that if you can see it, no matter how far away it is, there is no possible way of surviving

I've done incredible things. I think you'd be surprised.

you should teach them

their brains became AEROSOLS IN THEIR SKULLS.

what?? no

correction, some of their brain cells turned to glass, unless you want to bitch about the Smithsonian's knowledge base. https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/mount-vesuvius-turned-mans-brain-cells-glass-180976073/

that just doesn't sound correct. they should verify this information

not only could I survive that, but I could do it a second time

What you seem to not understand is that when volcanoes erupt the way Mount Vesuvius did, your survival is dependant on whether or not you're close enough to a ship when it happens. It doesn't matter how smart you are, your IQ cannot outrun a catastrophic volcanic eruption. If you're going to criticize them for anything, it should be their decision to settle near an active volcano in the first place.

as was previously established, my large IQ can outrun many things, so I do not imagine a volcano would be that much more difficult

yeah okay, ill reblog that

Question/gen if you jumped in the ocean and stayed under for a while could you possibly survive?

you don't need need to do all that. you will find the solution is much simpler

Please, share your wisdom, what is the simple solution!

you just leave

every 4th of july I think about the american tourist who was like oh thank god you’re open I wasn’t sure if you’d be open today and I was like why wouldn’t we be and he said because of the holiday. in norway.

tragic! trans person no longer merely tolerating the act of existing just now realising their entire wardrobe is ass
