it's pretty much just reblogs

After successfully gaining a job as a Stuntman, he didn’t know what he signed himself up to do but he took multiple classes to prepare and fell in love with the profession. His powers letting him further excel in his career as things like flight, intangibility, and duplication all were things that studio heads were delighted of as it lessened the cost of production.

Stuntman don’t get a lot of recognition by average film goers which is fine for Danny. Staying under the radar and living a normal life is all he could ever ask for.

Sadly for Danny, that anonymity didn’t last forever. Danny was hired as a stunt performer in a 90s satire esque autobiography movie written and starring the Gotham Billionaire Bruce Wayne.

During an on set interview midway though Bruce explaining to the interviewer that Hot Shots was his biggest inspiration for this film, Danny casually walked behind the set, just trying to get to the costume department and thinking nothing of being temporarily on camera behind the Billionaire.

Danny is doing his best to get out of the limelight. He had his moment of fame as a teen, and that was more than enough for one lifetime. If he never has to see another shrine to himself again, it will be too soon. The thought of it makes him shiver. Of course the movie's producer sees this as free publicity and only fuels the media fire.

When some raw footage of one of his film sessions 'leaks,' a massive media flurry of "do the butts match?" whips the media storm into a full-blown tornado. Because Batman is the only one who could pull off stunts like that in real life. Danny's further denials just make everything worse, until Batman himself shows up next to Danny to prove his innocence before it can get too far. (Much to the producer's consternation)

Everything quiets down after that, much to Danny's relief. It's not perfect, and the rumors of a long lost twins still circulate, but it's bearable. Even the proof of Danny's parentage isn't enough to dissuade the more zealous fans. He just needs to finish filming and get the hell out of dodge.

Filming is almost over when disaster strikes.

A villain (maybe the Riddler), somehow catches a glimpse of Batman without his mask and knows its Bruce freaking WAYNE under there.

Knowing that facing Batman head on to unmask him was a doomed endeavor, they target Bruce Wayyne instead. They publicly kidnap him with a live broadcast to all of Gotham. Multiple cameras showing every angle of Bruce tied to a chair while the villain rambles. Bruce can't so much as twitch in a competent manner, or his Brucie persona will be done for. No morse code blinking. No falling in a convenient manner. Nothing. The villains claims that he is Batman aren't confirmed, the idea is already planted. There's no way out of this.

So it's up to the Batfam to arrange the rescue, and they knew exactly what to do!

The solution is obvious. They need Batman to rescue Bruce on live television such that nobody could suspect a fake Batman or impersonator. This would clear Bruce's name completely and blackmailed material for the future. This wouldn't be the first time they've needed to pull the ol' switcharoo.

Naturally, Batman swoops in like an avenging tide of darkness. Beats up the villain and their goons in true Batman fashion, with an amazing fight full of flips and punches and leg sweeps all while bouncing off walls and wrapping goons up in cables and whatever else is around. There is no doubt. This is the real Batman. Only someone who has been fighting for justice their entire lives can move like that, all while expertly protecting the hostage.

All too quickly in the views opinions, the villain is tied to the very chair they trapped Bruce to. But the show wasn't over. Bruce was on the floor, legs shaking too much to stand. Without a word, Batman effortlessly lifts Bruce bridal style and carries him to safety. Never one to miss an opportunity, Brucie Wayne immediately starts batting his eyelashes and flirting enough to make grandma blush. Batman's stoic expression doesn't even twitch as they exit frame and out of sight.

As soon as they make it to a safely secluded spot away from prying eyes and ears, 'Batman' sets Bruce down then promptly doubles over laughing.

Used to it, Bruce rolls his eyes and sighs. "I'm surprised you showed up, Dick."

Instead of answering the unasked question of 'how did you get back so fast when you were supposed to be off planet,' 'Batman' is far too busy suffocating and collapses to the ground.

He finally answers when the giggle subsided enough to breathe again. "H-How-How-How do you keep a straight face like that?! I almost pissed myself when you started squeezing my bicep and calling me 'hunkaliscious'!"

Bruce freezes. That wasn't Dick's voice.

"Who are you?"

Danny bounces to his feet, pulls the cowl back, gives a dramatic bow with a wink. "Your one and only stunt double, at your service."

"How?"

Danny lifts his hands in innocence. "Not my fault! I was trying to avoid getting involved with your nightlife. Been there done that. But when a bunch of teenagers try to kidnap you? I make an exception. Plus, I have to admit, this suit makes me feel like a badass. How are you not grinning like an idiot all the time strutting around with a cape?" Danny pulls it up to his face like a cheesy vampire. "I am the night."

"How did you figure it out?" Bruce pulled out all his Batman intimidation. This was bad. This was bad. This was really, really bad. A civilian knew his identity.

Danny just gave him an unimpressed look, not the least bit intimidated. Honestly, it felt more like getting threatened by a puffed up kitten. "Normal people don't reak of death. I've had you clocked since the "do the butts match?" Incident. Thanks for the save, by the way. The last thing I need are stalkers. Those guys are ruthless. You can keep 'em'."

Bruce stared him down.

Danny sobers when he senses Bruce's anxiety. "Don't worry. I know how important secret identities are. I promise no one will learn about it from me."

Something in his voice and eyes makes Bruce relax. He believe it.

That's when a rainbow horde of teenagers vault down into the alley, practically jumping on Danny who laughs along with their antics. They rambled about how perfect he was and where did he learn that one wall run then flip combo, completely forgetting Bruce.

He'd have to fix that. He cleared his throat. "Does anybody want to explain whose idea it was to force a civilian to impersonate me?" The response was instant. Everyone fell silent then scattered.

Danny looked at Bruce with a grin. "Can I watch you lecture them? I reeeeeeally want to watch you lecture them."

Bruce couldn't help a slight smile of his own. Maybe letting this civilian hang around for a bit wouldn't be such a bad idea. It was always good to have a back up plans anyway, and Dick couldn't always be around when he needed a double. This was just for contingencies. Nothing else.

Hallmark would be salivating over him.Assuming he’s also using his ice in this scenario.

microwaving aluminum specifically is known to cause arching, which can cause fires! (thick aluminum is fine, but thin aluminum like aluminum foil, and I assume the edge of an opened can is Not)

on top of that microwaving liquids can be dangerous as they get hot extremely quickly.

A couple I was helping earlier had two little ones, three and six, who were behaving in a rather saintly fashion for the average bored kid I see. I tried to engage them with remotes and things while their parents talked.

Eventually they were restless enough that I pulled out notepads and asked if they wanted to draw. The three year old quickly lost interest and I went over to ask her favorite animal. She told me “elephant” so to delight and amaze her I started drawing an elephant. Usually kids are into it.

When I was done she pronounced, “It looks like a giraffe.”

I staggered back melodramatically but actually laughing hysterically and said, “There goes my art degree!”

The parents laughed and said kids were harsh critics. When they checked out they saw my elephant doodle on the desk and both did a double take like, “Woah, that’s a really good elephant!”

And as you can see it is not like instant death, they too are just animals and they are often just gently curious about the presence of humans! But people who study and dive with sharks will tell you you're safe as long as you stay calm and know what you're doing. The world's leading professional night divers and experts on these squids, specifically??? Stress in every interview and article and paper they write in that you simply do not fuck around with these squids. They know what they're doing and they still all have at least one story of being attacked, in some cases having to be hospitalized. Considering just how rarely anybody puts themselves in the pitch dark nighttime ocean on purpose, let alone during a squid feeding frenzy, it sounds like they're quite a bit more likely to consider you potential food than other marine predators. We also don't know how many fatal attacks might have ever happened, because what humboldt squid like to do with large prey is just drag it away into the darkness forever. The two worst attacks ever proven involved two or three squid at a time latching on to a diver (in BOTH cases they were professionals and knew the risk!) and jetting straight downward with enough force that both divers suffered injury from the sudden pressure change alone, including burst eardrums, nearly passed out and they probably would have died if they hadn't broken free. In general, people who die drowning in the dark open ocean are either never found, or they're found in pieces picked over by enough scavengers that the precise cause of death can only be narrowed down to "the sea." But now you know ONE of "the sea's" possible murder weapons :)

There's a short section on Humboldt squid in Wikipedia's entry for Cephalopod attacks on humans:

And if you can get past some of Animal Planet's hokey presentation style, this video includes a bit of interview with one of those professional experts who still got nearly squidded from existence:

There is of course some debate about all this, with some arguing that all proven documented attacks occurred on people with reflective diving equipment, which they say the squid must have mistaken for the shine of fish. However, there are lots and lots of people who have to fish around these squids to survive, who do not have access to that kind of equipment, and also have a consensus that if you fall in the water when big squids are out hunting you might disappear without a trace or perhaps just get your head bitten open. With many modern science guys agreeing with this sentiment, this is one case where the "they're just misunderstood sea friends" crowd is kind of outnumbered. The sea at night is theirs and not ours is all. It's not ours during the day either but since we are neither marine nor nocturnal animals we are double fools in the eyes of the squids, which by the way are these eyes:

No for real:

Also because I can't reblog every addition together:

Per wikipedia:

The Titanic was made of steel, presumably to resist corrosion (i mean. thats why boats are made of steel i assume) but even when iron/steel rusts people did not expect to find like. decomposition. bacteria are EATING the titanic.

and there's wood furniture from the titanic that isn't decaying. hell, there are wood ships at the bottom of the ocean that archaeologists study. so the expectation people have for the titanic is not that the steel would decompose at the bottom of the ocean. Even in 100 years, since there are much more ancient preserved wooden ships iirc.

The sister ship HMHS Britannic is still perfectly preserved because of the way it sank, and partly in due to the coral that has grown around it keeping the structure in tact I believe was the reason.
