thanks!

i'm so glad goncharov happened when it did, right before prolific public use of AI. that was pure honest gaslighting straight from the heart. real human whimsicality and trickery thru blood sweat and tears. we were a family. and we all gonched, together. you cant replicate that with any machine.

Bro I fucking love the DB Cooper case nothing about this whole situation sounds real. None of the passengers on the plane realized they were being hijacked until the plane landed two hours after it was supposed to and the fbi showed up with suitcases full of money. The note about the bomb almost went unnoticed because the flight attendant thought she was being sexually harassed so she didn't read it. One of the main suspects was the first trans woman in Washington to have a sex change operation. A reporter who was so dead set on his suspect that he brought him to court was so upset about being wrong that he went catatonic and was treated with electroshock therapy and it WORKED. There's been multiple "I'm DB Cooper" death confessions. He never even SAID his name was DB Cooper. Either he got away with a million bucks in today's money and the most iconic and harmless crime American history or he impaled himself on a pine tree while falling a zillion miles an hour in the dark while clutching duffel bags full of cash and either option is equally hilarious. He wore a clip on tie. He committed an act of sky piracy. What in the fucking looney toons

Where's that omg not to be a lesbian thing when you need it. I'm too distracted by the hotness to google it.

The competence. The strength. The completely casual execution of skill. That leather belt and all of its compartments and whatnot. Mmmm.

peace and love on my dash this afternoon

#it’s NOT inexplicable#it’s bc someone based it on the unicode 6 yellow heart#which is colorless but shaded with halftone dots#and someone interpreted that like stubble#and drew this#which is SO FUCKING FUNNY via @animusbell

OH MY GOD

THE REASON THE YELLOW HEART IS SHADED THAT WAY IS BECAUSE OF FUCKING HERALDRY HATCHING ISN’T IT

FUCK YEAH AUTISM LET’S GOOOO

big if true

People always talk about going to the city for an education but you can’t learn shit in the city. I’m talking to these mother fuckers and they know absolutely nothing about spontaneous combustion due to improper hay storage. They don’t know how to outrun an alligator. No life skills whatsoever.

...alligators are fast?? O_o

Yes they are. And they can climb. There are specific zig zag techniques you should use.

Official nature post

you absolutely should not use zig zag techniques, all that does is slow you down without impacting their ability to actually see/follow you. alligators don't really give chase so all you need to do it be able to outlast them cardio wise and you're fine

the running speed on land of an alligator is also nowhere near 35mph, that's the max speed they're capable of achieving during something like a strike where they've essentially jumped with their whole strength to launch their body a few extra feet really quickly

realistically, they can run about 10mph, and only last a couple hundred feet max before they are totally exhausted

Okay, I’m going to clarify.

Alligators are fast. Most humans are faster over long distances. But most alligators can sprint faster than many people.

When they are sprinting, however, they aren’t the best at turning. So you run straight for a bit. Then, when they are sprinting, you turn. Do that again. It will end up looking like a zig zag. You might end up turning every 30 feet or so. Could be longer. Maine thing is, if that guy has his belly up off the ground and is catching up to you, shake things up.

Similarly, when they lunge at you, you want to jump to the side, and take off. It’s harder (tho not impossible) for them to change momentum mid lunge.

They usually will not chase you for super long, 200 yards would be a significant distance, and worth telling stories about.

Now, it’s unlikely you’ll be In this situation unless you are already doing something you shouldn’t. But people do things they shouldn’t all the time, and I don’t think it should cost you (or the gator) your life.

Signed,

someone who has wrestled several alligators and kept all her limbs intact.

that definitely makes a lot more sense. normally i hear "zigzag" used to mean like a fairly tight, serpentine running pattern in this context, which i think has kind of become the predominant way people interpret that advice now, so thank you for clarifying :)

All I'm hearing is stay out of Florida

I am not from Florida. Alligators live all across the southeastern US. And crocodilians are found on much of the earths land. There are beautiful things to be found in all these places, and avoiding them will only come at your own expense.

May your ignorance lead to many snacks for our brother gators

Cool.

society’s idea of a perfect disabled person is someone who is doing well in the current system. this ideal of a person is “strong” enough to overcome the “misfortunes” of disability, because misfortune requires no action on the viewer’s part. the perfect disabled narrative is one which does not ask them to make changes or even acknowledge a cruel system.

curious to hear y'all's suggestions for the worst possible pasta shape

(Assume that "pasta" needs to be made of sheets or strands of dough with enough surface area relative to thickness so that they can be cooked.)

I was going to suggest fettuccini but twisted with the ends connected to form a Möbius strip, but then I realized that would fuck like hell.

@fishofthewoods I did NOT expect to get such a strong contender so early.
