things i never expected to learn through a tedtalk but now am glad to know:
the founder of Sirius XM radio is a sapphic trans woman and is currently trying to preserve her wife’s consciousness in a digital file so her wife can be immortal in the body of a robot.
heres the tedtalk if you dont believe because everyone deserves to know this reality of the amazing world in which we live
Holy shit you neglected to mention that when her daughter got a terminal disease with no cure or treatment possible she literally went to the library got some medical textbooks and taught herself enough biochemistry to actually begin developing a drug that halted the disease good god why have we never heard of this absolute genius
YOU KNOW WHY
YOU K N O W W H Y

It’s beautiful how people with autism are typically so much more spatially advanced…my little cousin has memorized all the freeway systems in California and he’s like 9
From memory…. Let that sink in…I barely remember myself
WHAT omfg that’s so amazing!
Out of curiosity, what do you think about the Meyers-Briggs?
It’s kinda shit.
Some reasons of the many reasons why:
- It wasn’t developed by scientists, there was no experimental testing in its development, and it’s based on Jung’s (very outdated) theories.
- In real life, people exist on a spectrum; in the MBTI, you have to be 100% an extrovert or 100% an introvert, with nothing in between.
- There’s about a 50% chance that you’ll get put in a different personality category if you take the test after only a five week gap. If it were a good test, you’d be in the same category consistently.
- It ignores a lot of other key personality traits, for example, emotional stability vs reactivity (how calm you stay under pressure). It also doesn’t even completely measure the categories it’s supposed to.
So take it and wear the label if you want; humans actually often like putting ourselves in snappy-sounding categories – it’s validating and satisfying to know we belong to a group.
Just realize that it has about as much meaning as your astrological sign – you get what meaning out of it that you put into it.
(By the way, I’m either INFJ or INFP. It switches practically every time I’ve taken the MBTI over the years.)

I forgot I was making caramel at work. It’s a tad overcooked.
Congrats on making actual fucking lava
Why
This is demonstrating why you absolutely do not pour water on a grease fire.
holy shit
Okaaaay. If any of you actually have a grease fire in the kitchen put the lid on the pan. It will suffocate the flames. Don’t pour water on it, and don’t freak out. Cook safely!
Or throw flour on it to smother it.
/quick safety announcement
NO, DO NOT USE FLOUR, DO NOT USE FLOUR TO SMOTHER A FIRE.
YOU HAVE TO USE BAKING SODA.
Throwing flour into a fire can cause it to combust and make the fire worse because FLOUR/SUGAR IS FLAMMABLE. One cup of flour into a grease fire can have the explosive force of dynamite.
The reason you use baking soda is that it releases carbon dioxide when heated, and CO2 is a fire suppressant.
Reblogging for safety and baking soda.
Salt also works well if you have enough of it and chances are you’ll have more salt on hand than baking powder. You can put the lid on, but make sure you turn the heat off too. Do not use a fire extinguisher unless you know it’s the right kind–a type B for flammable liquids like grease and oil. If you use the all purpose kind you will probably make it worse.

This video demonstrates what happens when you use flour…
In holland when someone doesn’t close the door behind their backs we say ‘Ben je in de kerk geboren?’ which literally translates to ‘Have you been born in church?’
@useless-netherlandsfactsIn the United States we say, “Were you raised in a barn?” It’s supposed to imply that the person was raised without any manners. But as people who frequently use barns have told me, you would never leave the barn door open because then the animals could get out.
In Italy when someone walks in a room and doesn’t close the door we say “abiti al Colosseo?” (and other variants), which translates to “do you live at the Colosseum?” because the Colosseum hasn’t got doors
In Bulgaria we say ‘Da ne jiveesh v peshtera?’ and it translates as ‘Do you live in a cave?’ and it both implies you were raised mannerless like in the stone ages and that you don’t use use doors b/c caves don’t have any
In my house we say, “What the fuck, dude?” because I live alone and when a door is opened by someone who isn’t me, it’s usually my cat slamming his face into it at maximum velocity before disappearing into the next room.
