God I fucking love being a monk at the Monastery of Lindisfarne on this fine morning of June 8th, 793. I love looking at all the gold and silver objects and alive monks that live here.

The way I found out about it was via my mom getting a text message from my dad and coming into my room running in a panic telling me about the earthquake only for him to finish typing out his story about valiantly standing his ground against the poltergeist, which made her start laughing so hard she was unable to tell me anything at all for the next couple of minutes.

#you need to tailor your arguments to people's existing values and priorities if you want to convince them #the flip side is that it's every bit as easy to tailor conservative arguments to convince a leftist audience #so don't get smug #you're not immune to this either <- prev extremely true

You can have a peach. and two. and three. and four. You can have all -1/12 peaches.

you haven't figured out the real trick yet! if you want infinite peaches you have to ask for one peach and half a peach and one third of a peach and one quarter of a peach and

if you want 2 peaches you can ask for 2 peaches

wrong! you ask for a peach and 1/2 of a peach and 1/4 of a peach and 1/8 of a peach and

but i don’t wannaaaaaaaaaaa

if you want 2 peaches, you ask for 1 peach.

1-1/2+1/3-1/4+1/5-... will get you any number of peaches, if you arrange it right

ANY number peaches? hm well i have lots of friends. i choose ubmm. fourteen peaches please

Take the odd denominators and add them until you get above 14, then subtract even denominators until the sum is below 14. repeat untill a desired level of accuracy is reached.

I wasn’t ready for that.

i never knew how badly i needed this until now

For those wondering, the dance is based on a soul-switching scene from the movie Painted Skin II: The Resurrection and the music is Su Yunying’s Moment.

"baby names" is a real misnomer because they're often permanent

I want to reblog this 100 times in a row

Shout out to all the lovely gents out there who can use some positive words. Ya’ll are beautiful

My dad used to design kitchens at Lowe’s and one day he got a dude from one of the national labs looking to buy a countertop. Dad sent him home with a sample of a quartz-composite countertop to make sure the color will look good with his existing cabinets. The dude asks my dad what the composition of the countertop is and whether it’ll melt if he puts a pot on it (since it’s a composite and not pure stone) and Dad gives him some rough numbers and reassures him that it won’t melt if he puts a hot pan on the counter. The dude comes back with week later without the sample. The dude gives dad a detailed list of the countertops composition, to the nearest hundredth of a percentile, and the exact temperature it melts at, because he took it to his lab and melted it down. tldr, it’s not just firefighters.

Imagine giving someone a sample of the granite you use to make countertops and they come back a few days later just to tell you they fucking dematerialized it

Ok, but this is just, like, what people do if they have access to equipment. We just… put shit in it. Just to see. At this point, I’ll try and hit just about anything with an arc, just to see. I’ll sand and polish anything you’ll let me, if I’m bored enough. If I had a machine that could melt something down and tell me exactly what was in it? I’d be just waiting for parts of my world to become “trash” so I could de-materialize it and turn it into knowledge of what it was.

i once saw a post that encouraged burn a sample of fabric before buying to see what it was

Moved to tears by the size of the lass

*slaps back of pidge* this good bird can fit so much cooing in it

Put sound on the cooing is delightful and the SPAP sound of thumping this giant bird is incredible.

I think the poll is broken. I voted, and there was only one vote, and then suddenly the vote was gone. Anyway, some of my answers are in the tags

same thing happened to me. i have a theory on how to do that
