"Guy" and "man" have different connotations with adjectival nouns. Like "tree guy" = arborist but "tree man" = he lives in a tree, or maybe he is a tree.

This is fascinating

“33. Make it possible—oh, dear God, please make it possible—to find privacy settings without a nationwide manhunt involving floodlights and basset hounds. Do you think we don’t know what you’re doing? “Go to Settings ->Preferences->Other->Other Options->Stochastic->Non-Evidentiary->Experimental, then click Advanced, then click Desalination, click Both, then Both again, then No three times, then all you have to do is translate the page from Russian to English and voilà! You can turn off genome mapping.” I believe it was Saint Augustine who said that to have faith is to believe in what you do not see; he was referring to the Facebook privacy settings.”

This is the same industry that created pervert glasses, not once but TWICE. They are more interested in their vision than the people necessary to bring that vision to fruition and exist in that future - because that vision doesn’t have anyone else in it.

I’m pretty sure that the reason the ice fractured into six slices is the same reason snowflakes are often six sided and it has to do with the shape of a molecule of water and I just think that’s so freaking cool.

How would it even stay lit though?

Don’t you dare apologize for science

Reblogging for science, explosions, and cool hexagons!

Oat milk was discovered much more recently than you may have known. Like many now-familiar technologies, it was found by accident during the Apollo program when NASA learned what a zero-g environment does to goat milk.

The notes are broken. This is what tumblr is all about apparently.

I learned in my political science class that all major famines in the 20th century and onward have been caused by oppressive groups or political situations restricting access to food, NOT natural causes like crop failure

This is literally the point that Indian economist Amartya Sen made that won him the Nobel prize in economics. As a child, he survived one of the several Bengal famines that were organised by the British colonisers in India. He developed his theory on famines, which is that they were more about distribution of food rather than production or availability of it

If you saw me recreationally vaccinating homeschooled children with blow darts then you should be thanking me, no? Relax a little. Blow darts are cool

You are just jealous of my ethical human safari

sometimes i wonder if we have forgotten that sharing creative work is, fundamentally, a bid for human connection. like I'm not posting art or fic for 'engagement' i'm posting it looking for other sickos to play with! i'd be making it anyway for my own gratification because there's something wrong with me, i'm sharing it hoping we can have something wrong with us together <3

This is the difference between standup comedy and improv: do you need control, or do you cede control? Are you fighting the audience or engaged in an act of co-creation with them?

I love when people try to gotcha me on my stance that all sports should be gender integrated with "even American football???" because I can instantly come back with "oh lmao, no, I don't think ANYONE should play American football at all, it's way too dangerous" like nice try but I know no amount of testosterone is going to protect you from the profound, life ruining health issues caused by getting repeated severe concussions over the course of several years. No one should play this sport.

Like do you really think muscle mass or gender/sex can protect you from CTE?? You think men are naturally more resistant to concussions?? Because idk how else you square this sport being too dangerous for cis women and people afab but perfectly safe for cis men and people amab. Having a testosterone dominant endocrine system isn't gonna do shit in the face of traumatic brain injury. Be serious. This sport should not exist.
