woah

yeah

Is this supposed to be art?

I heard my spouse in the other room say to our roommate "can I show you a biblically accurate light switch?" And I don't know what i was expecting but that was 5 or 6 hours ago so I had forgotten about it until this crossed my dash and I IMMEDIATELY KNEW.

DO YOU KNOW THIS CHARACTER?

Somehow I doubt he's all of you.

woke up this morning, rolled over, and very confidently tried to blow out my alarm clock like a candle. absolutely no precedent for that.

Ebeneezer in 1742 wakes with a start as for some reason he has put out his guttering candle by slapping atop it ith the palm of his hand. His hand is burned and his nightgown and cap are spattered with hot wax.

Fascinated by the perceived necessity of an Equivalent Exchange

who else has fantasized about the Nutrient Brick

i'm super curious to see what the responses to this are

feel free to put why you do/don't shave your legs, or any other nuances in the tags! reblogs for reach are appreciated :)

This is the sorta segment I wish still existed in kids’ shows. Soothing voiceover, mellow music, no flashy graphics. Just a calm behind-the-scenes look at something you might call mundane but that most of us would never have a clue about if no one pulled the curtain back to reveal its inner workings.

Okay but imagine being in kindergarten and seeing something like this, you would absolutely change your mind about wanting to be a fire fighter or teacher or whatever Job you've been told is cool and possible to grow up to do because wait a minute it's just like play-doh, there's so much it's kept in trash cans, you can use your hands to smear icing everywhere? It smells like cinnamon buns all the time?! Yes please!

I vaguely remember having a field trip to a bakery in kindergarten and thinking croissants were magical and that I wanted to make them in the future cuz kneading dough looked fun.

This is way more engaging and easier to watch than those sped-up videos with no voiceover and trashy pop music playing over the top.

It actually does make me remember similar segments in shows I watched growing up, like that one program. I don't remember what exactly the segment was about but it followed a young boy, and he briefly mentioned stopping at a friend's house and trying goat milk for the first time.

Very little else stuck with me but it sure made me curious about goat milk.

does anyone wanna hold hands until we feel a little braver

the reblog map is all of us holding hands btw

We are each other's night sky. No one is alone here.

night sky continues to get brighter. theres always people here for you

Made a painting of all of us “Holding Hands” <3

For some reason, Halsin has this pervasive reputation in the fandom of being an aggressive pervert? When, if anything, he's the most ethical and mature out of this game's many, many perverts

That’s crazy. Halsin is someone I’d never consider “perverted.” I mean, this man has endured a lot—taken advantage of by drows, fought in a horrible war, etc. And yet, he just wants to chill in a forest carving ducks.

Yeah, sure, he’s upfront about his attraction to the MC. But the guy is 300 years old, at that age, I’d assume he couldn’t give half of a single fuck. He’s gonna say what’s on his mind (respectfully, of course, this is Halsin we’re talking about).

This is a long-winded way of saying he’s one of the chillest, most respectful, and kindest mofos in this game.

The "Have you been here?" blog is the best gimmick blog because every post is like "Have you been to this remote convenience store in northeastern Latvia?" and the results are 99.9% no's but then you open the notes and there's 3-5 Latvians losing their absolute minds

Glad it’s not just me

The first time I saw this video I didn't reblog or save it anywhere and it's been genuinely impossible to find again. I searched every variation of "dyke falling apart car bentley review asmr meme" I could come up with on Google and across multiple websites/apps.

So, thanks for putting this back on my dash.

anyone know where i can gloves like that?

I love this in every way possible. What is it from? Where can I read more?

“Unraveling the Linothorax Mystery, or how Linen Armor Came to Dominate our Lives.”

holy shit read the article. it’s short but wild

We found that even more of a threat than rain was one’s own sweat on a hot day. So, yes, it does need waterproofing, both inside and out. We did a number of experiments along those lines, and found that rubbing a block of beeswax over all sides of the armor provided nice waterproofing. It also makes the armor smell nice! When you wear it for a couple hours, your own body heat softens the glue a bit and makes it conform to your body shape, so it is much more comfortable to wear than rigid types of armor. Our reconstructions weighed about 10 pounds–about one third the weight of bronze armor that would provide the same degree of protection.

Honey i gotta go to war… not to smell my bee armor or hang with the boys or anything no.. uhh we need to uh do war things?

#i've definitely read this before and i've probably reblogged it before but like.#no one in this thread is mentioning that they actually shot someone with an actual arrow in this armor.#they were like 'we've got to test this in practice' and instead of getting a mannequin or something they had an actual person wear it.

They what?

from the article:

a good life-size mannequin is expensive but i guarantee it would've cost way less than they were spending on all that linen.

Academics are just like that.
