I’ve seen a lot of people reblogging this as a shitpost but it actually is ~technically~ true, if you’re willing to give the literal text “lentils.com” a bit of leeway. The modern DNS or “Domain Name System” wasn’t established until 1985, and was created to establish human-readable addresses for IP addresses, so you didn’t have to know the actual IP address of the website you wanted to visit. In other words, you don’t need to call up the world carrot museum and ask for their IP address in order to visit their website, you can just go to worldcarrotmuseum.co.uk.
HOWEVER, the DNS system wasn’t created whole-cloth, it was based on a library topic-categorization system that predated the dewey decimal system and was widely used across private and government libraries in england and, later, the united states. The system was called the Index Dominiorum, or “Register of Domains,” and was pioneered by the Library of Oxford in 1731. It’s first ever use was for the tracking and maintenance of agricultural records for major staple crops, with the list distinguishing between commercial and independently-grown crops, as subsistence farming was still how a lot of people got their food in england at the time. In this register of crop reports, one of the first (not the actual first first) records added to the list was a report on the production of commercial lentils, labeled “lentils, com.” Because that same core registration system was used as the basis for the DNS nearly 3 centuries later, it can be argued that “lentils.com” was one of the first domains ever registered, along with similar commercial crop names like “barley.com”, “rye.com”, and “bulgur-wheat.com”. Unfortunately, none of this is true, and i did just make it all up.
10/10, people love to call this “net zero information”, but a more proper name for it would be “a bit”

I think something people don’t seem to get about sex repulsion is that it’s not some easily definable thing? It can fluctuate. I can be repulsed by sex irl, but not by it in media. I could actively seek it out in media while also being absolutely queasy at the thought of that same thing happening irl. I can sometimes feel repulsed by it in media, and sometimes not. I can sometimes feel neutral about sex irl and sometimes be actively disgusted by it. I can enjoy casual touch but get averse when that touch becomes sexual.
I just feel like people treat sex-repulsion like it’s a monolith and you need to fit into one particular slot where you’re either repulsed by all things sex, or you’re neutral about all things sex, or you actively enjoy all things sex. Where’s the in-between? Human experiences are not so easily carved out and defined

AO3 should have an Annotation Mode where you can click to view all of the author’s commentary and thoughts about certain parts of the work. A little comment that says “I spent five hours researching vintage radio mechanics for this and didn’t even end up using it” or “this is an ancient Hebrew literary technique!” would make my day

ok penguiners WHAT are we calling their feet.
I’ve seen the occasional usage of ‘flipper’ for their feet but also for the arms/hands?? Maybe 'fin’ for upper and 'flipper’ for lower?? or vice versa?
The problem for me is that canon penguins’ feet look nothing like real penguins’ (which, while webbed, still have distinct toes and claws)
