I'm not gonna lie the secret to success for a great many people is absolutely stimulant abuse

White-tailed deer (Odocoileus virginianus)

the mythbusters once tested "herding cats" and at one point they brought in a proper trained herding dog and the poor dogs face when the first cat responds to his herding with swipes and aggression is to look at her human and go 😰 the sheep is broken?? what do i do boss??

Fuck hostile architecture, I want unhostile architecture. I want benches to be designed to be as easy as possible to sleep on. I want little places for pigeons to nest to be purposefully put on buildings. I want people designing public spaces to think about what they'd be like to skateboard on. I want "Please loiter" signs. I want people to be kind. I want...

We need cities that do not resent the fact that people live in them

Yesterday my little brother told me something very sweet and touching, that when he was a kid and had nightmares about monsters chasing him or whatever he would be able to end the nightmare by finding me in the dream and I would protect him by fighting off the zombies, or carrying him away. This is adorable, and makes me feel like the greatest older sibling in the world, but the hilarious thing is that when I was a kid I had nightmares of needing to save him from zombies and such. so many dreams where he was in trouble and I needed to save him. Like my nightmares began where his ended. Low key I think he mastered the ability to psychically transfer his nightmare to me as a child and I'm kind of annoyed with him.

being online is so scary aren't you guys worried about the world wide spider

It took 36 years for someone to make this joke and by god it was worth the wait

we talk a lot about ohhhh what if my calling is to be the greatest mammoth hunter ever and I'm wasting my talents in the modern era but we never think about what if Thog from 30,000 BCE was the only person ever born who could get a sub-7min Donkey Kong Country any%, and he never got the chance. what about thog

guess what the most common question I got from kids when I worked at a dinosaur paleontology exhibit was

like far and away. no contest. #1 thing I got asked every single day for years.

“why did you kill them?”

you’re gonna see this post and you’re gonna want to reblog it with your brand new smart idea for an approach that I should have tried that would really have gotten through to them. and you’d be wrong. I tried so so so many ways to both answer this question and to cut it off before it could be asked. none of them worked. it didn’t matter what I said. even if they were able to understand it they weren’t fucking listening because they were so preoccupied with wondering why I’d killed any given dinosaur and/or all dinosaurs. it was unrelenting.
