"intermission" is a pretty good name for the stretches of road between courses in mario kart world, like it's both an intermission in the sense of a break between races and literally "inter-mission" in the sense that it's between two "missions".

but really since an individual race track is a "course" not a "mission" it should be called an

prometheus: hot take,

the greek gods: no give that back

I get the impulse to project parent/child type relationships onto characters but sometimes the dynamic you're thinking of is Mentorship

Sometimes he would not fucking be their dad. Sometimes he's their weird teacher

Sometimes she's not their mom but actually fully just a woman their own age

kinda fucked how a full-blown mental breakdown/ugly sobbing crying episode is supposed be like, all good for your soul and whatever but it always comes with insane headache/congestion shit. like yeah i scream-exorcised a rotting part of myself but at what cost.

this line delivery has lived in my head for 10 years

I will NEVER see a prehistoric dinosaur

I will NEVER see an anomalocaris. I will NEVER hold a trilobite. I will NEVER see a dimetrodon or an eight foot long millipede. and I will NEVER see a pterosaur

Well as much as it pains me to say it they died

I miss u anomalocaris 💕💕💕

okay it’s come to my attention that absolutely NONE OF YOU know ANYTHING about how cutie marks work. let me say this simply. a cutie mark isn’t a job being assigned, it’s a special TALENT OR SKILL that the pony enjoys. Most of the time it has a directly transferable job for that skill, like if you enjoy baking and are super good at it WOW! baker. If you are really good at writing and telling stories, author. However, there are some cutie marks that could go multiple ways.

twilight sparkle has exceptional magic ability, so she became a scholar, but she could really do anything that required a good magic skill. same with rainbow dash, her weather controlling job isn’t directly linked to her cutie mark, but it does fit the bill for the job.

i was posed the question of what would a murderer pony’s cutie mark be and wouldn’t everyone know. NO. if somehow murder were to be a special skill, the cutie mark might be something like a knife or a shovel. other ponies might just assume you’re good a cooking or gardening. now with cutie marks like apple jacks, their family has a ‘green thumb’ kind of deal so obviously the cutie mark would be hereditary.

so, the reason i made this post. walter white pony’s cutie mark would NOT be blue crystals. it would be a CHEMISTRY FLASK.

hello trans woman on tumblr. It appears your post has broken 100 notes. we will now feed you into the misgenderizer 3000

tumblr users will reblog your fun joke post and misgender everyone in it through casual ignorance/indifference that could 9 times out of 10 be remedied by observing context clues with half a functional brain and the dipshit thing they add won't even be funny

It’s so crazy how you can measure the shifts in culture based on which race Ariana is pretending to be

Interesting math fact of the day #88:

88 is the largest number with no “n” up until 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000.

"Ten duotrigintillion" still has an n in it

i would humbly ask you to type "ten duotrigintillion" into the nearest search bar and report back to me what do the first 5-10 results all say :)

they all said "this isn't math class"

okay mr "ten duotrigintillion", let's hear about what your experience in math is, because if im seeing the same thing as you, then you should have probably known the answer before googling it, shouldn't you?

we're talking about number names here. when making mathematical statements about number names we do not use googological terms like "googolplex" and "decalogue"

listen, did i make a mathematical statement of the number, as in an equation or statement, or did i assume that the more commonly used and accepted term for the given "ten duotrigintillion" be used?

i'll let you be the judge.

if we're allowing googology names then actually 216 has no n's in its name of "googoiji"

relevant googology wiki page

when did i say we were using googology? i only said that the reader would use the more commonly recognized name. we're not focusing on any specific way of writing numbers here, we're just using the way us as a society decided to name these numbers.

If you accept "a googol" as a valid name in this context then there's a ton of other numbers you'd need to consider that are bigger than 88 but smaller than 10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000, the first that came to mind for me are a gross (144) and a mole (6 * 10^23) but theres plenty of other descriptors that I think are at least as valid as "a googol"
