"Why am I so much more creative when I'm tired?"

This also translates into:

So basically when you stay up way too late it effects your problem solving ability and your ability to make decisions. [1]

Do you want to know a possible reason as to why that “I stayed up really late and now I feel so creative and willing to draw!” feeling happens?  Because your self-critique center is shutting down because you’ve been awake for too long.

You are always as creative and able to do things as you were when you were awake.  That potential doesn’t just disappear.

Difference is– when you’re wide awake you have a stronger problem-solving and decision-making center, which is obviously related to self-critique.  Being tired doesn’t necessarily make you more creative and motivated, being tired forces you to quiet that part of yourself that holds you back.

Something to think about.

If any of you want to read more about it, here’s an article from The Mary Sue, and here’s an article from WIRED. (Alcohol mention for the last link).

HOLY SHIT THIS IS HUGE

Some claim that evolution is just a theory, as if it were merely an opinion.

Chinese scientists have created the world’s lightest material.

SCIENCE MAGIC.

this substance was created at zheijiang university. the lead scientist’s name is gao chao.

My chemistry teacher let me write this on the board

This whole “trust Tumblr blindly” thing is eventually going to kill someone, as I became pointedly aware of on one occasion I was making fun of how poorly a particular bleach-based drain declogger was working on my sink and got a chorus of really dangerously misinformed people telling me to pour vinegar in after it because all cute little cool kid diy home care blogs they’re following talk about vinegar like it it’s the big secret the cleaning companies don’t want you to know.

And I cringed knowing that someday, some Well Actually expert who read a blog article once is going to give that advice to someone who unfortunately didn’t take high school chemistry and isn’t aware that MIXING VINEGAR AND BLEACH MAKES CHLORINE GAS.

holy fucking jesus tits reblog to save a life

isn’t advising people to combine the two intentionally like one of the original 4chan trolls

it’s also a great king of the hill gag

An end to plastic packaging poisoning us and all the life that feeds off the ocean is very very possible.

worclip: This Too Shall Pass (2012) by Tomorrow Machine

Independent packaging project for perishable goods:

Is it reasonable that it takes several years for a milk carton to decompose naturally, when the milk goes sour after a week? This Too Shall Pass is a series of food packaging were the packaging has the same short life-span as the foods they contain. The package and its content is working in symbiosis.

Smoothie package Gel of the agar agar seaweed and water are the only components used to make this package. To open it you pick the top. The package will wither at the same speed as its content. It is made for drinks that have a short life span and needs to be refrigerated, fresh juice, smoothies and cream for example. Rice Package Package made of biodegradable beeswax. To open it you peel it like a fruit. The package is designed to contain dry goods, for example grains and rice. Oil package A package made of caramelized sugar, coated with wax. To open it you crack it like an egg. When the material is cracked the wax do no longer protect the sugar and the package melts when it comes in contact with water. This package is made for oil-based food.

Funky

How can i support this movement??

This explains plasma better than my high school science textbooks.

"Look, you see this? Science.”

Science.

I can’t tell what my favorite part is, but it’s either

Reblog every time.

Relatively awesome.
