I have never seen Islam shown so humanized, so relaxed, so innocent and pure. That’s brilliant and funny.
i have watched this so many times, there’s just so many things i love about this. the frantic running towards the door, stopping and checking which direct he’s facing, going through it at absolute TOP speed (true meaning of speedrun), grabbing the shoes and just fucking booking it without even putting them on, the guy in the foreground not reacting at all or not even NOTICING
I like to imagine that the reason you can whip around those floors at warp speed and so smoothly is that you’re running through the museum with a pair of wool socks on.
i thought the eyewitness vhs museum was a real place when i was a kid. i wasn’t a total idiot, i knew there were a few vfx things going on, but i thought it was filmed in an actual museum
fun fact about me is that when i was a kid id write capital E’s with as many of those little horizontal lines as possible and id call them ladder E’s and adults fucking hated them
artistic rendition
All capital letters should have a leveled-up form
So far I’ve got
ladder letters: A, E, F, H, T
humpback B’s and P’s get as many bumps as you think they need
circle O’s, you just keep spiraling in til you feel like you’ve made your point
tree letters branch into smaller versions of themselves ad nauseum: X, Y
spider Q’s, so many legs
Please add your own unsettling godtier capitals!
New alphabet dropped!
oh my god, it’s beautiful
(future handwritten notes are gonna be so wonderfully cursed now, thank you! 😀 )
well it’s going to take some getting used to, @ceekari (don’t mind the redacted letter between T and U)
But I think i’ve taken a real shine to it!

«At the Internet Archive, this is how we digitize a book. We never destroy a book by cutting off its binding. Instead, we digitize it the hard way—one page at a time. We use the Scribe, a book scanner our engineers invented, along with the software that it runs. Our scanning centers are located in universities and libraries around the world, from Boston Public Library to the University of Toronto to the Wellcome Library and beyond. Eliza is one of our fastest and most accurate scanners. Next she will execute quality control checks and fix any errors. Then she ships the book back to our Physical Archive for long-term preservation. Now imagine this: scanners like Eliza have done this 2,000,000 times. That’s what it takes to provide you with a free digital library.» – Plus Internet Archive’s Modern Book Collection Now Tops 2 Million Volumes, by Chris Freeland, February 3, 2021
when I was a kid I had asthma really really bad and I spent a lot of nights in the hospital because I would be coughing so hard that I could barely breathe and I needed oxygen treatments and all that. and one particularly bad night i had to stay overnight (usually they would send me home after a few hours and I’d get a few hours of sleep before I had to get up for school). and in the morning before I was discharged they gave me this computer game along with my inhalers and stuff and being a little nerd I was super excited to get home and play it
this fucking game was all about asthma and you went on an adventure to defeat the “Evil Seven” who were personified asthma triggers and you had to battle them by correctly answering questions about asthma and there was like a dude who made himself super small so he could take you on an adventure into someone’s body and lungs and you had to like heal their inflamed alveoli or something
I got absolutely obsessed with this game and played it nonstop over and over and my mom and sister were like “wtf” because I wouldn’t shut up about this goddamn weird ass asthma game
and it was WEIRD like —
Hello????
but. the thing that is really fucking killing me right now is that, randomly remembering this game, i just googled it to see what the name of it was and I found the voice actor list:
OKAY this is fucking sick though because the reason for mummification- and the reason we have a lot of ancient Egyptian art and artifacts still around today- is because they believed that as long as images of them still existed, their spirits in the afterlife would still exist. It’s a form of immortality.
Now we’re literally resurrecting them in all these ways and!!! That’s immortality, baybee!!!
It also makes me wanna kill the victorians who ate mummies and stuff. like I know they’re dead now but if I could kill them twice I would
reblogging both for the interesting commentary but also that fucking noise
i think it’s fucked up that there are plants that decided they wanted to eat meat
a plant’s job is literally to just exist but the venus flytrap chose violence
what if i gently laid an uncooked steak on the soil for it to absorb
my tree biology teacher fed her calcium-deficient tree a whole-ass bbq rib bone – she stuck it in the ground near the base of the tree (after eating the meat off of it), and when she came back to collect it to show the tree biology class it was GONE
the tree had grown a root up through the center of it & out through the sides
also there’s an old story about a man who was buried beneath a tree, and when they went to exhume the body it had been completely absorbed by the tree’s roots- you could see the shape of the body in the way the roots grew, splitting up for clearly defined arms and legs. trees will absolutely eat a steak if you bury it & they need the nutrients.
