been constantly getting an ad on youtube for an app that uses genai specifically to write fanfiction for you & i cannot even wrap my mind around it. writing & reading fanfic is something people do FOR FUN that has also been a method of connecting with people who are passionate about the same things you are since the days fanzines were discretely exchanged in star trek conventions & you want it to outsource it to a machine that does nothing but steal from actual authors & lie?

im reading the reviews on the app store out of morbid curiosity & most of em complain about how youve got to actually pay real ass money if you want it to be fully functional. hey so you know what you can use for free to create limitless fictional stories & scenarios that you can share with other people if you want to? your brain in your fucking skull

sorry still scratching my head at this. should i also let a shitty ai bot have a wank for me while we're at it

They could save us

As a kid you see seahorses in cartoons as actual underwater horses for the fish people to ride on and it makes u never really realize how fucking weird seahorses actually are. Forget the horse part and just look at this fish. It’s a serpentine type fish like an eel, with a tube shaped body, but it’s stuck in a stiff C shape and can mostly only articulate its head and tail. So it swims standing upright. With its weird tiny hummingbird fins. Is this weird to anyone else

it's also kind of hard to get until you see it but they are literally just barely wrapped around their skeletons. there is no extra meat there.

a tiny bony as hell animal with a prehensile tail that is incapable of swimming like other fish (so they cling to seaweed and coral). they can do mpreg. some of them are ambush predators. nobody does this like them

internet friends are so funny bro. here are some fuckers who know more about me than my mother. their names? well this one's no eyed joe, that one's takeout container, that one's moo, this one's named after several hit video game characters, that one is soup and so is that other one, here are a couple named after several thousand year old stories. that one's scammer. that one's volcano residue and here's fungus and rodent and there's podcast character and we can't forget the birds. this one says he's not named after a supernatural character but there's no evidence to support that. here's vegetables and arson. i love them all very dearly. oh yeah and they're all queer

see i just don't think mlm ships work with good luck babe because i think that song operates on both the axes of being gay but ALSO being a woman. "when you wake up next to him in the middle of the night / with your head in your hands you're nothing more than his wife" is such a harrowing line because women are socially only defined in their relations to men instead of as their own people especially after marriage (taking his last name, changing your prefix, the physical cost and emotional labor of having children...); women often become relegated to wives and mothers whereas men are afforded agency and personhood outside of their marriages. the line from the song doesn't work for mlm couples because men are very rarely nothing more than a woman's husband no matter how "suffocating" men make marriage seem

its this fucking guy

add me to your discord server so I can do the online equivalent of arriving at a party saying hi to the people I know then standing awkwardly in the corner for the rest of the night

Had a dream that Sabrina carpenter died and everyone was super sad about it but, unwilling to be upstaged, taylor swift flew her private jet directly into a block of apartments killing herself and hundreds of innocent people and everyone called it the gay 9/11

How to see whether a Chinese handmade teapot is well done or not - quality of the spout is an important standard. 

cr: 承启 建水紫陶

that last teapot is like witnessing an eternal and important truth

I just watched this with the sound on and i really recommend it because the utter silence of the last teapot is both perfectly predictable and totally remarkable.

Since people seem to like my pride outfit!

Woah woah this has 1000 notes. I'm super flattered and I will bench press each and every one of you.

I can't believe you're this many notes in and nobody knows you handstitched the flag.

Oh hell was i supposed to mention that?

I handstitched the flag.

I love nonfiction that I simply cannot relate to at all. "it's easy to get addicted to buying fast fashion! I used to spend thousands of dollars on it a year!" okay. you're a space alien.

"survey finds that the average person in the UK only wears a piece of clothing 7 times" what are you talking about. what are you fucking talking about. who are these people and in what world are they average.

it was obviously named after Paris, the trojan prince.

A common misconception! Paris Hilton was named after Paris, the Trojan Prince, and Paris (the city) was named after Plaster of Paris, for trade relation reasons (that plaster being the main export f the area when the city was founded).

Plaster of Paris getting its name, of course, from its inventor, Paris Hilton.

I don’t know why anybody uses ChatGPT when they can log into Tumblr Dot Com and see *bespoke* obviously stupid lies, handcrafted by a real asshole for free.
