We need to go back to using sailing ships full time like immediately. Yes it would take longer to get places but the Aesthetic is unmatched
Like there is nothing sexier hthan this
Can’t wait for OP to get scurvy
Are you under the impression that the ships themselves are what caused scurvy
Once again. Do you think this is the fault of the ships themselves
I can't stop thinking about this reddit post on soapmaking dude
I cannot express what an insane recipe that is. No one else could grasp it either
Like beeswax doesn't. It kinda just stays as beeswax in the soap. The lye has nowhere to go with it. That liquid seeping out of the soap? The brown and clear drops?? That's lye. That's straight up lye. This mf made the soap equivalent of the Chernobyl elephants foot.
Quick reminder that if you touch lye with your bare hands, it will react with the fatty oils on and in your skin to create soap molecules.
That means it will give you chemical burns while creating human soap.
OP’s comment about the soap equivalent of a Chernobyl elephant’s foot is on point.
Lye (aka sodium hydroxide) turns hydrocarbons/fats into soap.
You are a hydrocarbon.
Please be careful when making soap, because You are a thing that could be used to make soap. And nobody wants to bathe in human soap, no matter how much rosemary you put in it.
The best scene in Nosferatu 1922, sound remastered because i felt that we had to have this
Me sneaking into the kitchen at 3:42 to eat leftover pasta
turn on sound and you’ll see what i mean
I need a link to this
This is how the Resident Evil developers see Europe

This sounds completely insane but I swear just fucking around on Google Earth street view all over the world will cure you of whatever problems you have going on in this regard
There was an episode of Arthur like this with DW and Africa
“Do it scared” but please realize that, if you Do It Scared too much and don’t let yourself rest + relax + have fun in between, you will fuck yourself up. If you “do it scared” all day every day, you will burn out badly and quickly. Sometimes this is temporarily necessary but please keep this in mind.
When you “do it scared” eventually you’re supposed to be less scared, eventually doing it scared is supposed to teach you the worst won’t happen, or it won’t be as bad as you think it is, or that the best outcomes are worth it, or you’re more capable than you thought you were. If you do it scared over and over and you’re still scared and you’re always scared, maybe it was never about pushing yourself, maybe something bigger is going on and what you really need is to be kind to yourself while you figure out what that is.
unbelievable. no one has drawn the exact same fanart i see in my head. i have to do everything around here myself smh.
having viral posts is all fun and games until you have clowns in your mentions being like "well, op, i bet you also didn't know THIS" [haughtily explains something i absolutely would and do know] like add whatever to my posts that you think is informative just don't direct it at ME! i know! i just didn't include it in the post i made in 20 seconds because i didn't think 30,000 of you would see it!
i love these tags. WHAT was your viral post i need to know so badly.
some of our collective suffering
Every day is a reason to celebrate 🥂🥳
High level physics is so fucked up it's indistinguishable from epic level magic
My next question would be if storytelling is a part of being a physicist. It does seem like it on the internet.
To some degree, all science is storytelling, because all science is learning and telling the story of the universe to each other.
It's a bit more apparent in physics where storytelling is the most accessible way to share the knowledge, but hearing an ecologist tell you the tale of salmon will move you both to tears. A Botanist will tell you about the friendships between plant s that last generations- and the hot gossip that comes with it. Every meticulous detail on any object in your home is the work of hundreds if not thousands of engineers saying "I love you, let me tell you something that will make life easier-".
We are the storytelling ape, and we are incredibly good at it. As soon as we are old enough to want to understand what is happening around us, we begin to live in a world of stories. We think in narrative. We do it so automatically that we don’t think we do it. And we have told ourselves stories vast enough to live in. In the sky above us, patterns older than our planet and unimaginably far away have been fashioned in gods and monsters. But there are bigger stories down below. We live in a network of stories that range from ‘how we got here’ to ‘natural justice’ to ‘real life.’
– on the storytelling ape | Terry Pratchett, Ian Stewart, and Jack Cohen, The Science of Discworld II: The Globe
It's stories all the way down.
how it feels to be online these days
You're donating? To HER bottom surgery fundraiser? You know she still hasn't apologized to everyone impacted by that one time she was mildly inconsiderate of other people's feelings while disassociating pre-transition, right?
She literally called Franklin a jerk?? Like how is that not problematic he even literally apologized for calling her a man?
...Are you in on the bit or did you make this about a specific situation
Bit
phew
Im enjoying the longevity of tumblrs recontextualization style of humor. a seemingly innocuous post followed by like "posts that a gnome would make" or like "are you a phone"
More from the notes:
I love this post
The horse thinks as it scratches an itch
tumblr please stop telling me to wd40 a mouse
directors using colorful or "impossible" lighting to convey mood and meaning and beauty my beloved. directors making night scenes impossible to see for the sake of realism my beloathed.
a bad dream?
