“diet culture will demonize any food that isn’t “clean” but EVERY food can have a benefit for you

Diet Coke is somehow the only thing that stops my migraines, and it reminds me of my best friend. Cape Cod potato chips are my go to salty snack and I live 10 minutes from the factory, so they make me feel cool.

Food is more than fuel. It’s memories and satisfaction and tradition and home and culture.

There’s nothing evil about that.”

It's hard to do chores alone. Today I will offer you a trade.

I will do one of my chores, if you do one of your chores. Alternately, if I don't claim a chore, anyone may claim a chore from someone else.

Reblog and reveal the chore you have done for this post.

I will reblog with the chore I do (after doing it) in exchange.

If me or someone else claims your chore, please edit your reblog to reflect it so people know to keep looking to play with others.

If you want to join in and help others do their chores, you can reblog their chores with the chore you've done in exchange.

If you want to join in and help others do their chores, you can reblog with your chore for others to claim to do in exchange.

repeat as many times as you want, I will lock reblogs tomorrow at noon

Mosura fentoni was a small radiodont living during the mid-Cambrian, about 508 million years ago, in near-equatorial shallow marine waters covering what is now western Canada.

Sixty specimens have been discovered in the Burgess Shale fossil deposits, ranging from 1.5cm long juveniles (~0.6") to 6cm long adults (~2.4"), giving us a detailed look at Mosura's anatomy and life history. It had three eyes – two on the sides of its head on short stalks and one in the middle of its face – and a pair of grasping frontal appendages each with six long sickle-shaped spines.

Unusually for a radiodont its body was divided into distinct regions: a four-segment neck, a six-segment mesotrunk with large swimming flaps, and an abdomen-like posterotrunk with up to at least sixteen segments (fewer in juveniles), all bearing gills along their undersides.

Its vaguely moth-like shape led to it being nicknamed "sea-moth" by field collectors, and inspired its genus name – "Mosura" is the Japanese name of the fictional giant kaiju moth-monster Mothra.

With a very high proportion of respiratory surface area for its size, Mosura was probably an active and agile fast-swimming predator, possibly living in low-oxygen waters around the outer continental shelf. Its wide oval central eye may have helped it stay orientated during rapid maneuvers, keeping track of the horizon line similar to the median eyes of modern dragonflies.

"How is claiming they drowned a Hilux possibly underselling it" GREAT question.

To start with a little disclaimer, Top Gear's Hilux did not start off, as in the video above, in pristine condition. It started off with nigh-on 300k kms (for you yankees, that's about 8.4 million Boeing 737 wingspans) and a condition to match.

And it's only once careless driving around town yielded zilch in given shits...

(look, I found a local newspaper picturing it being driven around!)

...that they decided to drown it. Now, the underselling part: if you told me that they drowned a pickup the first place my mind would go to would be "driving it through a river a bit too deep for it, perhaps as deep as its height, until it stalls and then tugging it back out. You will concede that's rather different from tying it down on the seashore with the second highest tide in the world...

...and leaving it there until it engulfs the whole truck...

...only for the ropes to snap...

...and for the truck to be lost to the tides for FIVE HOURS.

(and for those wondering, yes, just as promised, well within an hour and the mandatory limits of basic tools and no spare parts, up the mechanic made the thing fire and away the presenter drove it - I must imagine doing a number on his clothes in the process.)

Oh also I would have mentioned the caravan.

Or at least the wrecking ball.

But hey, at least the fire was mentioned.

Still, I feel it's criminal to leave out how they celebrated it surviving all it did: by parking it at the top of a 23 story building for all to see! :)

Wait NO-

Well, that was uncalled for. Given what it survived, it deserved to rest in a museum instead of being unceremoniously cleared out with the other chunks of public housing that buried it.

Or at least, given that buried it wasn't...

...to be tumbled down from the rubble utop which it sat...

...and be fueled up.

"be fueled up", pfft, what for?, I hear you say. And you are right.

Look at that thing, you say.

Let's be serious now, however pretty of a story it would be that's not a truck that will do anything remotely in the ballpark of firing up, let alone running.

And again, you are right.

The battery was disconnected.

Sorted that, tho

"You can't be serious." Oh darling I sure can! "Well the presenters can't then" no no, I assure you, it lived. Go see it for yourself! It's at the National Motor Museum in Beaulieau, England!
