I just saw a video title on YouTube that said something like “Why is glass transparent?” And that’s an interesting question and I’m sure it’s great that the video exists but my first thought was like “Because glass is terrible, obviously.” Because it’s unwieldy and let’s out warmth and needs to be heated to hundreds of degrees to be shaped and turns into hundreds of tiny daggers if you drop it. Why the hell would we bother with that if it didn’t have some magical quality like being totally transparent despite being solid? Glass is transparent because if it weren’t, we’d use something else.

looking through my “me” tag and this is apparently what I was thinking 3 years ago

this is amazing and I’m really glad I reblogged that old bullshit post because I got to learn this

Also, early glass was Not transparent! That’s actually a fairly recent innovation. In order for glass to be transparent, especially to be clear, the silica sand has to be a certain level of purity, so before we could filter and refine it to that point, glass was opaque!

I'm so tired of the way suspicious meat is always human meat like for once I just want to be surprised. Let it be something else I'm so tired of it being human meat

Give me meat that IS genetically human but can't be matched to anyone's DNA!!! Where the fuck is it from?? We don't know!! Scary!!!

Oh people keep disappearing but hey at least the food is really good so that's something right? Womp womp you're eating a guy. Boring. Been there done that. Give me something new

Give me a guy who works in a slaughterhouse who swears on his life he's killed the exact same cow every week for the past 6 months and every time it gets harder to pull the trigger as it looks him in the eyes like it knows him

Meat man’s meat from adventure time is so much more viscerally horrifying than horror movie cannibalism.

Going to spoil this decades-old TV show for you - the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Doublemeat Palace" features our heroine needing to get a job and gets one at the local fast food place. As people begin to disappear, she becomes increasingly paranoid and assumes that indeed the delicious meat is people. Turns out there was a just demon lady hanging around eating people. The actual secret of the Doublemeat Palace? It isn't meat. It's vegetables with beef flavoring and they need the secret preserved because people won't eat it otherwise.

Evidently landlord and lawyer were some rough slander 250 years ago, maybe we still have some things in common with the founding fathers

shout out to the film’s editor who back in the 1970’s completely hid the negatives for that scene for decades allowing us to have it restored for the 2002 re-release

#if someone shouted something racialized at a food service worker and he pulled swords#if be like ‘yeah that’s fair’

I love this website so much
