coworkers love earnestly saying shit like Yeah i just asked chatgpt what i should be feeding my newborn

I love that Jules Verne asked the question "What kind of person could circumnavigate the world in 80 days?" and decided that the answer was not a groundbreaking explorer or genius inventor, but a guy who's really, really, really obsessed with train and boat schedules.

my final paper for my CS degree was literally "how can we algorithmically optimise for the fastest possible circumnavigation route on commercial flights?", which incidentally required me to adopt a very good working knowledge of what flight options are available at what times (and also led to me accidentally memorising several hundred airport codes)

incidentally the fastest possible route seems to be about 51 hours, if you're working from 2022 schedules like i was. if you use current schedules and are very optimistic about how quickly you can transfer between flights, you can maybe get it down to around 48 hours (also known as 25 millivernes).

The very best thing about tumblr is that you can make a post about a 154-year-old novel and get responses like this.

funny thing about anxiety is sometimes it kind of breaks your sense of danger. like i am known for repeatedly putting myself in situations that make my friends go "bro you couldve died. werent you scared?" and the answer is 👍 yjeah. i did it scared. i do everything scared. i didnt know that was the actual important kind of scary because i usually have to ignore my fears to function in society. it will happen again. watch out.

if i made a video game where you get to pick the gender of the player character i'd make both the options be nonbinary and you can either have they/them or it/its pronouns. those are your only options

marvel movies are a type of microplastic. you know what i mean

at the end of the day you need to believe that you are more than the things you’ve suffered through because if you don’t you’ll start seeing yourself as someone fundamentally broken whose life is hopeless. you need to claw your way out of a rut by believing there is hope for you and that life is worth living, even when its hard to make sense of all the suffocating chaos around us. don’t let yourself forget there is still beauty out there and joy to be felt, even when you are in pain, even when you wish life could be fairer and gentler. because that’s when you realize that the little things you do to make yourself and others feel a bit better can make quite a difference after all

every now n then i think about how native americans as human beings just dont exist in like 99% of mainstream media. in movies or tv shows or books or video games or you know even in porn like we just arent people. when theres a native character theyre like a wild west indian. like truly to ppl we all died back in the 1900s.

i did not ask for recs + im not giving nahollo advice + i dont care. the moral of this post is racism sucks 🙏

Bringing you more Bad Books and Immodest Pictures, your Impure Thoughts Stockpile was getting low.

[Image description first image is a comic book panel of a red devil labeled “impure thought” knocking on a door on a house labeled “your mind” while holding books labeled “bad books” and “immodest pictures.” a person is looking out the window at the devil. Comic narration reads “all of us face temptation every day of our lives” Second image is the same picture with the person inside the house replaced with the “sickos” laughing man from the Stan Kelly comic]

i really need people to be so fucking careful in and around discussions of literacy because stuff like "this culture didn't develop a written language ergo they are mentally inferior to us" and "people with this disability are unable to read ergo they are mentally inferior to us" have been eugenicist talking points for a very long time

I have a headache because I'm a bad person

Is there a gofundme for the iranian ballistic missile programme

If you remember being a teenager you're a creep because you straight up saw yourself naked back then. The only way to be righteous is to obliterate your mind with drugs until you can't remember anything

unironically this is what ocd is like anyway who wants to go to the weed store
