Here's a nice story I learned in the Norwegian ski museum:

In 1895, polar explorers Fridtjof Nansen and Hjalmar Johansen were having a bad time. Their expedition had faced some hardships and they were forced to stay on Franz Josef Land in a little hut they built out of mud and stones. In their hut, they slept for circa 20 hours a day, and spent the remaining four hours watching the northern lights or reminiscing about the comforts of home and the books they had read.

After several months of this, and nine months of sleeping in the same sleeping bag to stay warm, on New Year's Eve, Nansen finally gathered his courage and asked Johansen if they should start adressing each other with the informal you.

This is where the story ended in the museum, so unfortunately, I can't tell you whether Johansen answered yes or no.

I just want y’all to know that one time during lockdown I played a lot of Minecraft because I had nothing better to do and then later I was going to go into my room after a shower so I could go back to being a hermit but it was dark so I just thought “oop, can’t go in there, there’ll be skeletons spawning there and they’ll shoot at me”

And for LIKE FIVE WHOLE SECONDS I didn’t question it and I just turned on the lights and walked out into the living room to wait it out, just thankful I had my pajamas on already so I didn’t have to fight off the shooty skeletons in my dark closet where there might be some creepers too

And then all of a sudden I was like “Wait what the frig skeletons aren’t real” and then just went back into my room

And I think about that a lot. So if ANY OF YOU dare to think that I have any more than three and a half braincells on a really good day, just please remember this and know that you are sorely mistaken

I hate to break it to you but skeletons are, in fact, real. There's one incredibly close to you at this very second

this is like that one summer I played too much chess, and then I was standing in line at the grocery store at a slightly diagonal angle to the person in front of me and I had this light go off in my brain like “weak pawn structure this is your chance” before I realized that it was real life actually.

So there are several species of frogs that have evolved to be so small that their vestibular balance system doesn't work well and I'm sorry but it's the funniest thing to watch them try to jump.

😂😂😂 why he do that poor baby like that

I just added ten years to my life by watching this

TURN THE SOUND ON JUST DO IT

The unalloyed joy of getting dizzy and getting up and falling back down repeatedly without injury or feeling SICK I remember it and this body will never feel it again but I love to see it

put your child in the centrifuge to get the giggles out

Happy November 5th to everyone who's celebrating!

i keep meeting transfems whose personalities are like, gaping wounds. girls who've been stomped on over and over until they start thinking they're uniquely evil and they deserve it. people shouldn't be allowed to treat us like this.

It hurts to see people I care about think they deserve to be mistreated.

This is making me cry

Thank you for including those tags. I need to save that and post it on a few discords every once in a while

I said from the beginning I’d like to keep one of the kittens, but I had no idea who. I (half) jokingly said to my family, I’ll let the boys choose… But Oskar did choose, and who am I to deny that!

So from now on Peeke will be officially known as Jeanne (Janneke voor de vrienden) and she’s staying forever
