to be totally honest

Calvin and Hobbes - It’s July Already

Recent indie bookstore visit for some horror books 🖤

watching twilight and I keep making myself laugh imagining if it was just alucard or any other vampire instead of Edward. POV nausferatu goes to ur school

Giving you this so that not everyone winds up on the FBI watchlist for searching this: Ammonia and iodine, mixed together, will create a fairly decent explosive, however that shit is pretty volatile and doesn’t always go off when it should, and will frequently go off when you don’t want it to. Bleach and potassium chloride, if mixed together in an enclosed space then mixed with oxygen, makes a much smaller blast but you get a very obnoxious toxic slurry thrown everywhere so if your characters want to block something off that’ll do. Siphoning gunpowder from fireworks and packing it into a pipe closed at both ends with a slight opening for the fuse is the ideal way of getting a pipe bomb, DO NOT try either of the above compounds for that purpose, bad things can and will happen to your characters.  If you want a molotov cocktail to have a bit more impact or burn for a real long time, have characters dissolve Styrofoam in the gas. You’ll get a fire that doesn’t spread as fast or far when the bottle breaks but burns for ages. It isn’t quite napalm but it’s close enough to make a point. Cellphone detonation needs two phones: One as the detonator, one who’s sim card and battery you’ve cannibalized to receive the call and deliver the electric charge from the battery to the explosive. Nail bombs are best accomplished with packages of siphoned gunpowder mixed with the cellphone detonation above being put into boxes of nails. Roofing nails are the best for this purpose, as due to a broad head they tend to land point-up even if they hit nothing, meaning that any car driven over the area in the aftermath will require a tire change. Now, writeblrs, I got on multiple FBI watchlists looking some of these up when I was 12 and trying to make my own fireworks, make good use of it. 

The (European) sun is a deadly laser, stay safe everyone

It’s not the heat. It very literally is the sun.

Also the second paragraph? Yeahhhhh, I couldn't open my windows last night until 8 pm because it was still warmer outside than in (and the sun was still up, but on the other side of my building). I had to close them before 8 this morning because the sun was already in my window and heating up my apartment. (It's currently 27C inside. With the windows closed and as much sun blocked as I can, because my building doesn't have those awesome rolling shutters.)

you people let tiktok rot your brains to the point you see everything as content farm and engagement. not a piece of art created by the artist’s love and passion. it’s dystopian.

if you’ve already opted out of showing up in google searches, it’s preselected for you. but you also have to opt out for each blog you own separately, so if you’d like to prevent AI scraping your blog i’d really recommend taking the time to opt out. (source)
