Isn’t it weird how you can actually feel the pain in your chest and stomach when something really hurts your feelings

This is actually because it activates your vagus nerve! Basically your body goes “we are so upset! We must be injured! Where???? On the inside guts! Those are confusing and hard to differentiate!!! Confusing guts are hurt!”

Great! How do I uninstall it?

“great! how do i uninstall it?” carries the same vibe as “thanks! i hate it” but more ACTIONABLE bc we gettin our shit together in 2k18

I planted some saguaro seeds about a week ago. Who woukda thunk that such large lads start out so smol. (submitted @nolayelde)

this speaks for itself when paired with a pic of the grown plant for scale:

they usually live to be 150+ years old. cutting one down in Arizona, where they’re native, is a felony with a maximum 9 months in prison. 

in my brief wikipedia exploration to find out how old they could be for this ask i found out that there was a dude in 1982 who was vandalizing one (which is also highly illegal) by shooting at it and then poking at it, and not only did the 500 pound arm of the cactus he was shooting at fall on top of him, but the actual trunk of the cactus then also proceeded to fall on him. he died. smited by the cactus gods for his transgressions 

There was one we had in our backyard that fell on our fence and buckled the steel bar. When the guy came by to take it away he sliced into roughly foot long segments and we kept one. It was really cool in the inside, also the chlorophyll is on the inside. My mom turned the outer layer into a lampshade

Sorry it’s dusty lmao no idea how to clean it

i…………..idk how to react to this but this is definitely an item i wasn’t expecting 

here’s another fun fact about saguaro cactuses (or cacti – both are fine!): when they die, the flesh on them erodes away and leaves these really cool wood-like structures

they’re called bones. these are cactus bones

……oh

HOLY FUCKSHIT

I WANT IT

dude that’s only 299 dollars
for 299 dollars you could make ur living room the SICKEST living room anyone has ever been in, or will ever be in, in their ENTIRE GODDAMN LIVES

My DM wants our group to pitch in like $50 to get this thing for our game nights.

It also has a built in fog machine as well, in case you were unsure still.

It’s available at Home Depot right now btw

Good idea?

BEST idea. 

Please remember to properly vent, fog machines indoors can be dangerous for people with breathing issues. 

Other than that … HELL YEAH GET THAT SICK ASS DRAGON!

Delicious. Finally some good fucking home improvement.

a few months ago my gynecologist told me that she was on call for the birth of the baby gorilla at the zoo. i still think about that every goddamn day, because:

  1. the zoo either doesn’t have a vet who can deliver a gorilla baby, or they do but they have a human gynecologist on standby Just In Case
  2. the zoo asked my gynecologist if she could deliver a gorilla baby at a moment’s notice and she said “hell yeah”
  3. my gynecologist For Humans thought it was perfectly normal small talk to mention that she dabbles in ape vag from time to time

It’s not that uncommon for Human specialist doctors to get called in for specific things at the zoo, especially for primates! The zoo near me called in a human orthopedic surgeon for one of their orangutan’s broken fingers.

Yeah, this is pretty normal – it’s very common for local medical professionals to have relationships with zoos and help out with procedures. (Generally with apes, but I’ve also heard of local dentists doing root canals on otters and chiropractors adjusting tiger cubs). 

In this case, the zoo had likely had arranged for her to be present ahead of time, rather than at short notice. Even with the regular vet attending, sometimes having someone who specializes in ape reproductive anatomy and has experience with what you do when something goes wrong with a birth around is super useful. (Especially with critically endangered species). 

As another example, cardiologists from Brigham & Young in Boston ended up helping with a heart exam for a silverback gorilla at the Franklin Park Zoo. 

There’s a really good book called Zoobiquity about this.

Apes have very similar anatomy to humans, as we’re biological ‘cousins’, so to speak. It’s understandable that a doctor that deals with human health would be qualified to deal with ape health as well.

can someone explain the alignment chart for me but in like, the simplest wording possible lmao

lawful good: i want to do the right thing, and following society’s rules is the best way to do that

neutral good: i want to do what’s right, and i’m willing to bend or break the rules as long as no one gets hurt

chaotic good: i’m willing to do whatever it takes as long as it’s to do the right thing

lawful neutral: following the rules of society is the most important thing, and that matters more to me than doing what’s right

true neutral: i just want myself and the people i care about to be happy

chaotic neutral: i want my freedom, and i don’t care what i have to do to keep it

lawful evil: to impede the protagonists (in whatever evil way) is my primary goal, but i follow my own code of morals even when it’s inconvenient

neutral evil: to impede the protagonists (in whatever evil way) is the my primary goal, and while i’ll do what it takes to achieve it, i also won’t go out of my way to do unnecessary damage

chaotic evil: i relish in destruction and want to do as much damage as possible while i try to achieve my primary goal
