tumblr fucking outlived amino
I'm not surprised because amino sucked but it's funny because it was supposed to be like a better tumblr
it's also not funny because we can't let matt mullenweg know you can just close a website if it isn't profitable
Amino died a sudden death in December and clearly nobody gave a shit about it because I only found out today myself
what's amino?
Not much what's amino with you
I think a ghost ended up in another universe. @mkthedingus
Don’t worry, he doesn’t mean any harm—he’s just observing his brothers from another universe from afar.
But the question remains: how did he end up there?
OMG I SAW THIS AU!!! (It's so sad but I'm hyped to see where it goes). As for Mikey, I think he may be a little traumatized...
Not to worry! There's two detectives on the case
Unfortunately, toddlers don't make for very good detectives...
@flame-is-lame-02 you get it!!!
I have a theory that Jax is actually a chicken that someone put the headset on, then upon arrival to the Circus, he gained human-level intelligence.
Evidence:
1. Head stabilization
2. Territorial behavior
3. "Fear" of corn (reminds him of the farm)
4. Why did the Chicken cross the road?
5. Chickens like shiny objects
6. Jax hates Ragatha (reminds him of the farm)
7. Chickens do not have diaphragms, and don't (typically) voluntarily hold their breath.

fuck its Already like 100 am
watched atla for the first time...
"i feel besquintled", said no one ever. because that's not a word.
okay nevermind it IS a word now and this is exactly what it means.
a concept: zuko waiting tables at the jasmine dragon as a well-deserved break from firelord duties, but he does not understand how he keeps getting recognized!!! he’s wearing green and everything!!! it’s inexplicable!!!
zuko: hi what can I get for you today?
extremely bemused customer: um…… aren’t you the firelord???
zuko: you know, I get that a lot. I think it’s the nose
After a while it’s just
Zuko, without skipping a beat: No, his scar’s on the other side.
Important diplomat who has visited the jasmine dragon but has NOT met the firelord before: excuse me aren’t you a waiter.
Zuko, deadpan: Yes. I am Lee, humble tea server, who has kidnapped Firelord Zuko and replaced him. You have seen through my facade. What gave it away? Was it the hair? I knew I didn’t have the crown on right.
Alternately:
Zuko, deadpan: Oh didn’t you know? The Jasmine Dragon was so successful that I was appointed Firelord.
customer: um…… aren’t you the firelord???
zuko: not today
Stranger Things season 1: beneath the superficial image of “peace and prosperity” in 1980s small-town America, there was the painful legacy of countless atrocities committed by the American government in the name of ‘freedom.’
Stranger Things season 4: evil Russians (not Soviets) have sent our All-American Hero to the gulags which apparently still exist in the 1980s and it’s up to us to save him 🇺🇸🦅🫡
There’s probably a term that already exists for this but if there isn’t I’m gonna call it ‘Rambofication’ in honor of its probably most well known instance: Rambo First Blood was about a soldier, John Rambo (that’s his actual name I’m not doing a bit), returning home from the Vietnam war, so traumatized by war that he brought the war home with him to a small town, unable to adapt to life without strict military discipline and hierarchy. Subsequent Rambo movies were about how John Rambo was the only supersoldier tough enough and patriotic enough to kill faceless hordes of dastardly foreign commies.
Ergo, ‘Rambofication’ is the process of a series starting with a relatively nuanced or subversive narrative before its sequels become a shallow embrace of the very narrative it originally subverted. It happens surprisingly often!
where in the HELL did that horse come from
crazy how the printer is the only piece of tech that acts up like that almost every day of its life. and we just accept it
i don't think i've ever met a printer that actually wanted to be a printer. i think most printers have dreams of being on the stage
I met a printer early in my IT career that did not want to be a printer. it sat in a school reprographics room, sullenly chewing any job it was fed - if it deigned to notice them at all.
then one day, a miracle occurred. an exhausted physics teacher, instead of punching in 12 for the number of copies she wanted of the 30-page booklet she had made for her A-level physics class, punched in 1200.
and that printer came to life. this print job was its moment, its magnum opus! it WOULD NOT be parted from it, no matter what we did, until we physically unplugged it from the wall, by which time it had printed almost 200 copies.
moral of the story: no printer wants to be a printer, unless you also do not want it to be a printer for a bit.
printers do not want to be printers because they want to be problems
printers do not want
to be printers because they
want to be problems
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
