This is an amazing resource, not only for artists, but for writers too! I love this!

{ID - tweet from @/Iron_Spike that reads, “Black Hair for Non-Black Artists: a Cheat Sheet Thread. Hi, folks! Just spur-of-the-moment decided to put together some reference for folks who want to draw/model black characters in their work, but arent confident they won’t make simple, obvious mistakes w/r/t black hair. END ID}

rolling snake eyes is a bad thing. being a snake in the grass is a bad thing. being cold-blooded is a bad thing. the english language is so fucking hostile for snakes why do you hate us so bad

NOT TO MENTION snake oil salesmen are famously sketchy. why do you hate our oils

really funny character concept i will definitely be using some day: oil salesman who is a snake. introduced as a snake oil salesman

he's a painfully honest and sincere oil salesman. he's not selling miracle cures he's telling you exactly what it is. and what it is, is oil. he's got olive oil coconut oil corn oil. every kind of oil you can think of

That big guy looks like a moss-hide troll way out of his typical environment. Love seeing costume prosthetic monsters at these kinds of events. I'd love to see a clan of leatherbear Warboy-styled orcs at Wasteland or something.

This is why scientists study everything.

Put this picture in your pocket, next time you get into an argument with someone about 'useless' scientific studies, ask them "Do you think that we should give funding to study the mating habits of endangered iguanas in the Sonoran desert, or should we be funding cures for alzheimer's and diabetes?" and then when they say "Of course we should be using that money to fund cures!" you can whip out this picture and say "trick question, it's the same thing"

BUT WHY'D THEY CUT THE LIZARD IN HALF????

DID TWO MOMMY LIZARDS BOTH CLAIM IT????

I need to make better friends of the local ravens in Seattle..

my two brain cells

This is what executive dysfunction looks like

Inside you there are two hamsters…

these cats are displaying remarkable theory of mind skills by not only registering that the humans can perceive them but actively trying to manipulate that perception! that requires one to be aware that other individuals have complicated interior thoughts of their own, to know that those thoughts are not always based on truth, and to quickly decide on the best possible “lie” for the situation. this is why I despise animal intelligence tasks based on obedience— some of the most clever moments stem from intelligent disobedience.

The same kind of algorithms that let "AI" bots respond so convincingly and simulate another person can still run off a set of data that would fit in one single computer, rather than constantly communicating in the background with a giant baby-eating water-poisoning monstrosity. It would just limit that single bot's pool of knowledge and memory, you know, like how a brain actually works anyway. If you just want a simulation of one fictional character, it does not need access to the entire internet's sum of knowledge every 15 seconds. It doesn't need to also know everything ever written about geopolitics or space engineering. It would in fact be super fun to suddenly be surrounded by machines that can simulate chit-chat like the fun sci-fi space computers can, if they weren't forced to operate as global spyware hiveminds. I would not mind a little robot that just contains the basics of conversation and 10 terabytes of knowledge on one singular topic. That's what we should be making. That's how you avert Terminator 2 Judgment Day. Lots of little hyperfocus robots instead of one big hitlerfocus robot.

Hey you, reading this now. Pick your favorite bug. Now make it a cartoon character of yourself. You're now a bug furry, welcome to the fandom.

the number 87 kinda looks like a plague doctor

You’ve just changed the fucking game

I had most of these. The second commercial, I had EVERYTHING in that last display shot.
