everyone did this with avatar aang the same day that finale came out. old heads remember

This scene- in which a pampered housecat beats the shit out of a digimon that has already digivolved and has energy attacks- implies that, were cats introduced to the Digital World, they would be invasive, species-destroying super predators like they are IRL. I hypothesize that this is what happened in our world, where cats were introduced to the Internet as Lol cats, dominating the Internet memetic ecosystem and preventing the formation of the Digital World seen in Digimon.

First season of FMA:B is actually unreasonably funny because every episode at the 2 minute mark Ed goes “remember Al we can’t let anyone know our bodies are metal and we committed human transmutation. Because the military will probably execute us” and then every episode at the 14 minute mark Ed is screaming at the top of his lungs about how he and Al are made of metal and committed human transmutation. And also the President of the Military is there smiling and nodding and not giving a fuck because Ed is the military’s specialist little boy and he’s expressly permitted to commit murder in the streets and do arson and treason and tax evasion if he’s got enough hands for it and that’s completely fine because, as previously stated, he’s their specialist little sacrifice boy.

And also the military already knows he committed human transmutation and they think that’s really really great. It’s their favorite Edward Elric fun fact.

I can't believe home depot literally produced a wildly successful science fiction musical and we all just pretend it didn't happen. on one hand yes it had a boring white guy main character but like.... home depot just... Made it? And it had shit ton of box office sales? and no one even talks about this. this is like avatar (2009) all over again

OK so. After a lot of frantic googling I realized this was all a dream. home depot did not in fact produce a wildly successful science fiction musical. I was on allergy meds and took a nap and my brain simply prophesized this. slightly disappointed because I wanted to watch it.

"it's just stress" oh thank god, it's just the silent killer that slowly kills you, perfectly harmless, no need to worry

also….who are we kidding when it comes to her ‘‘little brother’‘ Winthrop.

#let’s all be honest: marian and her mother left to “help out a cousin in Chicago” and then came back with a baby     #marian only ever referred to this baby as her brother. mrs. paroo only ever called him her son.     #but if you were the family doctor. or maybe someone who knows a little bit about gestational math and menopausal women.     #you might have some follow up questions.     #anyway stay tuned for other hot takes about this american musical from the 1960s.  

If radio wasn't loaded with ads for the dumbest shit possible, I'd prefer radio to everything else.

Also you can build an AM radio receiver out of little more than scrap. Are you going to? No, almost certainly not, but the point is that the technology is simple, cheap, robust and repairable.

final knowledge bomb is that most phones actually have the ability to tune into FM radio but its deactivated in software in north american phones. In india its a universal feature as people listen to a lot of radio there. My own personal phone has FM radio enabled, and it might be possible to do on a phone with developer privileges unlocked or with custom firmware.

I WISH TO PET THEIR NOSE

med people are so annoying "This family's 8 year old child who was about to go through a major surgery and kept crying that she was hungry so they pitied her and gave her food, she then had a heart attack in the surgery. They're so stupid 😒" girl they didn't know that could happen or why it happens. it takes so little time to explain to them that will happen instead of telling them "no food" with no explanation 10 times

"Before surgery, your body’s reflexes that protect your airway are relaxed by anesthesia. If there’s food or liquid in your stomach, it will near certainly come back up and go into your lungs, which can cause choking, a severe lung / heart infection or even a heart attack. That’s called aspiration, and it is life-threatening. It's hard, but it's only a single day to prevent near certain death. Not eating or drinking beforehand massively lowers the risk and helps prevent these life threatening situations under anesthesia." <- TIP: patients have brains which allows them to receive information just like you
