i am a mess

I have no idea how Venus Flytraps are pollinated but I am now imagining this is designed to try to keep pollinators well away from the jaws of death.

That is in fact exactly why they're like this! (Several species of carnivorous plants do the same thing)

The plant version of it's not stupid if it works.

there is nothing lemon squeezy about any of this

Y'all. "Hell is empty and the devil's are here" is not one of those epic Tumblr quotes. It's from The Tempest. The Shakespeare one.

remember when that furry post went around with "you have nothing to lose but your chains" and people were saying "this is such a raw ass line and it's from a furry post" but it's literally karl marx

reading waiting for godot for class and finding out that’s where that “that’s how it is on this bitch of an earth” meme is from ruined me i think

new game: "classic or shitpost?" in which we give you a raw-ass quote and you have to determine whether it came from an internet shitpost or classic literature

"I will face god and walk backward into hell" that one on the other hand is actually from a dril tweet

Definitely Hyles sp., most likely a white-lined sphinx, Hyles lineata.

i would like to officially thank sesame for its seeds, its oil, and of course its street

Remember that xkcd about how Google searches are shit now? What if we made them even worse for no reason?

I will vote for any candidate who promises to go scorched fucking earth on every tech company. Break every single one of them up into companies based around a single product and then split those in thirds. Weaponize existing antitrust laws to the hilt and pass the most draconian versions of them ever seen on this planet. Nationalize google search specifically. Pass consumer privacy protections strict enough to kill the data harvesting industry for good. Make all of these fuckers go bankrupt for this rent-seeking shit

Happy pride month 2026

Another victim of horse propaganda
