those fuck ass animatronics would not have stood a chance against this absolute god

yurimitsu !!

@pieceofshrimp on tiktok their cosplay is SO cute

Showing my cock things it's never seen before

1. The inside of a sprite can

2. h..hopital

More women

Thank god they decided to make more

Wow

Dolly Parton has really been hard at work

But In doing so…she created her biggest enemy…Jolene

started golden terrace and i'm so so so so normal about it. political intrigue and affairs of state ft. gay people. sorry if they have a canon appearance this is what they look like to ME

bonus:

Huh wuh?

we really devolved as a society when we stopped using fully painted pictures on romance novels and started using cheap photoshop instead 

case in point

this is a Hell of a downgrade 

worst crime capitalism ever committed was eliminating Horny Oil Painter as a viable career option.

I went down a rabbit hole this summer researching romance novel covers and painting fanart in this style and

Her name was Elaine Duillo, and she had a long and extremely productive career spanning from the mid 60’s to her retirement in 2003. She worked mainly in acrylics.

She did illustration work in other genres as well, but she really found her niche in romance novels. She pretty much redefined the aesthetic conventions of the genre, popularizing male models and male nudity and sexualizing men to cater to the female gaze in a way that simply wasn’t the norm before her work. You know Fabio? she’s the one who started using him as a model, and essentially launched his career. And honestly, just look at her work:

magnificent

Wait shit, she retired in 2003? I think that’s exactly when I started seeing shitty photoshops on all the new romance novel covers.

She was literally carrying the entire industry single-handed and then they just did not replace her.

she just died this year back in july. rip beefcake queen

My physics professor just told the class the wildest story from when he was in grad school about building a high voltage unauthorized Tesla coil with the ability to kill a man

No I’m still not over this - this man along with two other graduate students rigged a Tesla coil and a faraday cage without a budget and the arcs of electricity that came off of it hit things in the room like exposed gas pipes. He found a thick piece of plexiglass that he sawed into smaller pieces, he found a screwdriver that he filed down to a sharp point, and he reasoned that by charging the plexiglass with a shit ton of excess electrons and striking it with the screwdriver-ice pick immediately after flipping the coil off but before the energy in the room had a chance to dissipate, they could see the physical path of the conducted electricity as it conducted through the excess electrons.

These men rigged up an empty storage closet in their lab with the faraday cage and Tesla coil and ran their little experiment. My professor ran into the room the instant the coil was turned off, grabbed the grounded screwdriver-ice pick, and stabbed the plexiglass millimeters away from the edge where he could’ve missed.

And it worked.

This man captured a god damn lightning strike in physical media. That shape is from the electricity breaking through the structure of the plexiglass. That’s literally the conduction path.

Anyway I was talking to one of the lab instructors about it and she put her head in her hands and literally groaned. “I wish John hadn’t told you that story.”

hi!!!!! i’m an actual librarian who has encountered this very situation before!!!!! and while i commend & admire op’s willingness to help another patron, this is why you really really should have a library worker, not another patron whom you don’t know, assist you with tech & information related issues in the library!!! because we are trained in how to handle this exact sort of thing

tl;dr: use proton mail. i’m not gonna gatekeep this info. it does not require a cell phone number, so it’s my go to for patrons in this situation!!! while i am acutely aware of the harm done by the digital divide & how many people are getting left behind as our world gets increasingly tech dependent, the situation is not hopeless. there ARE provisions in place to help the people most affected, and those provisions are usually wearing glasses & cardigans & sitting behind the circulation desk

librarians are not glorified bookworms!!!! we are information professionals who are highly trained in how to handle these sorts of seemingly impossible binds!!!! ask us for help!!!!!! as i always tell my patrons, that’s what i get paid the big bucks for

The holy grail of searching through academic literature is coming across a string of publications that are like:

Here’s An Idea. Smith et al. 2016

Terrible Idea; a comment on Smith et al. 2016. Johnson 2016.

You’re Wrong Too; a response to Johnson 2016. Nelson 2016.

Guys Just Stop Fighting, None Of Us Know What’s Going On; a Review of the Current Literature. McBrien 2017.

Not even an exaggeration.

Rip stanley you would have loved Avon

A year ago a family member was running in a triathalon. We gave her an AirTag to wear so we could make sure we saw her cross the finish line. Turns out AirTags are terrible for that, but that’s besides the point.

Once she finished the race, she used one of the portable restrooms. Well, the AirTag fell out and got irretrievably lodged between the floor and wall.

I ceremoniously renamed the AirTag to “Lenny the Latrine” and have, with inexplicable curiosity, watched the porta-potty make its way to different locations.

This caused a funny encounter with airport staff when my baggage was picked up by the wrong passenger, and I showed them the baggage AirTag driving down the road. They glimpsed Lenny on the page and decided to hold back their verbal questions, but their questions were still written all over their face.

I just got an alert saying the battery is low, so I know my time tracking Lenny the Latrine is nearing an end.

So long, Lenny.

"what do I do if I have theories" will always be the fucking funniest reddit post

top tier comedy

Apparently according to my physics professor, everyone in the department gets around 1 email a month from someone like this, explaining their crackpot theory as to something. Normally it’s nonsense but apparently when he was in school, his professor received a letter from some mechanic, who had, largely independently as this was 1960s Georgia(the country), rediscovered general relativity. The professor was so impressed he went and bought the guy basically every physics textbook from undergrad to graduate level and gave them to him.

That IS very impressive.
