youre hurting your mind&body too early in the day with heavy atoms when you eat steak and eggs for breakfast

this is some aristotle-ass physics

Lmao yea(same basic atoms that make up steak, eggs, most other stuff we eat) but please don’t eat steak and eggs for breakfast that sounds like wayyy too much

the atoms are different in steak and egg theyt come from a soul

Girl ;-; I can’t… I’m a physics student don’t try to argue with me about atoms. If u want to make the claim that atoms from a steak or an egg have a soul, what evidence can u provide

they're heavier

Published physicist here! Steak and eggs make you feel fuller in the morning because the atoms are different and heavjer, which hurts your body because of the atoms being so heavy

I know

Biologist with sadly no publications here! Steak and eggs for breakfast is too heavy for breakfast mostly because the atoms wiggle too much. Once the soul leaves them they get wigglier. Looking for the soul. Yearning. Reaching out for it...

For what is the body - the flesh, the cell, the progeny - without its soul...? The atoms do not know. But as the cell dies, without its Life - that building block which houses the Soul - the atoms loose all connection to both. That intangible Something which bound them together, for seconds, minutes, hours, days, weeks, years, centuries, millennia... suddenly, it is gone.
The atoms wiggle, for they know not what else to do. The void is not cold, in the way an atom perceives it; but it is a type of coldness, of absence, which with it cannot interact. The cells had known this before, and now, they return to it. Except, they cannot return. They have bathed in a new warmth, which emanated from something that is forever gone. They had tasted Life. They had witnessed a Soul.
It was there. It was REAL. Like a wave in the ocean. It was... it was. And now, it... What now? It is not.
The atoms wiggle, for they know not what else to do. Silently, for some. But for those chosen few, who brushed against a soul? They scream, silently. In a voice that shall never be heard... they, too, wiggle. And, yes, of course, there is heat that they create. That's simply what atoms do. But that cold... that other, ancient cold... they tremble. Wiggling. They reach out for that strange, other warmth, yearning to touch it just one more time... but they cannot.
The atoms wiggle, for they know not what else to do.

... ANYWAY, the reason why this makes the steak and eggs heavier in the morning is because the egg atoms were already wiggly enough (they have a better support group), but now the steak eggs are in there too, absolutely LOSING their SHIT.

Cooking them wipes their memories, though, (which is honestly kinda merciful), and they finally calm down. But that makes them really tired. They fall asleep after you cook them. And they're, like, uuuhhh... dead weight for a while. Anyway that's why they're heavy

Lyra, my beloved cat of 13 years, passed away this year on Father's Day. She's been by my side through very difficult times and was my little rock of steady and unrelenting love. I struggled a lot drawing this, and struggled a lot posting it, but I know I would've wanted to read a comic like this that validated my grief for her when I lost her.

Wherever you are, Lyra my little summer star, I love you always! Thank you for being the best thing in my life.

someone on twitter is trying to claim that use of an em-dash is an indication of AI-generated writing because it’s “relatively rare” for actual humans to use it. skill issue

I can admit this is a little out of hand, but I promise AI didn't write my 150k fic 😂

Reblog if you're a human that uses em-dashes

I have a terrible, terrible confession.... I use en-dashes as em-dashes.

It's a frustrating and improper habit - believe me, I know this all too well - but I CAN'T FIND THE STUPID BUTTON FOR IT HALF THE TIME

Spy x family is very very good because there's a bit where a far right terrorist group says that they want to start a war and a main character responds by saying to them "have any of you ever killed anyone before? Have you ever been killed before? Have you ever had a limb torn off by an artillery shell? Have you ever heard the sound of bones shattering? Have you ever smelled the reek of rotting flesh? Have you ever found the crushed bodies of your parents and siblings in a pile of rubble that used to be your home? Have you ever discovered a blown-off piece of your lover stuck to a wall? Have you ever been so hungry that you tried to eat tree bark? Or stewed a pot of human flesh? Have you ever convinced yourself that your enemy was subhuman so you could...slaughter them like animals? Have you ever been so haunted by shame and regret afterwards that you cried until you vomited? Have you ever had friends who did the same, and then took their own lives? Did you learn nothing about war at your university?!"

and that's the same volume where they adopt a dog that can see into the future

Floriography: Resources for Writers

For centuries, flowers, herbs, and other plants have been used to convey meaning, both in life and in literature. Many of the greats, including Shakespeare, Austen, the Brontë sisters, and Steinbeck referred to floral symbolism to delicately weave into their intricate works. Flowers influenced art for generations before us, and with luck, they will continue to inspire artists for generations after us--long after we've become them.

Cool stuff to learn when you are bored that is actually really interesting and might come in handy:

  • how to recognise the stars and constellations and the myths behind them (if you go stargazing)
  • the victorian language of flowers (to send secret messages to your friends)
  • morse code (same as above, plus it could save your life)
  • how to survive in the wild (speaks for itself)
  • biology/animal/human anatomy (its just. so interesting)
  • differerent types of seashells (again really interesting)
  • poisonous plants and their uses (DO NOT POISON ANYONE THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEAN. but you can recognise if one plant is poisonous and. you know. save smb)
  • learn about other cultures (food, clothes, myths etc. always be respectful tho <3)
  • read philosophy
  • read the illiad or the odyssey (the real ones. its so interesting)

honestly anything you are interested in is so cool learning about!

Well those are allllmost done

question. why do you have 7 featureless grey monoliths in your driveway

There's eight actually but the last one is still in the garage

question. why do you have eight featureless grey monoliths

They're actually a really dark purple

question. why do you have seven featureless really dark purple monoliths in your driveway and an eighth in the garage

Some of them do have features though. There's holes and hinges and stuff, so I can put secrets in em

question. why do you have 8 really dark purple occasionally featureful monoliths

The heart wants what the heart wants

this reads like a muppet sketch

see? See!??!

You're not wrong

From the archives of late historian Imayde Thissup, reporting on the totally 100% true history of ancient Hyrule: "In addition to the well-known Triforce of the ancient lore - representing the forces of of Wisdom, Courage, and Power - some speculate the existence of a lesser-known, yet equally potent foil to the three. Although information on this novel discovery is limited, recent discoveries of murals and Hylian artifacts have prompted archeologists to revisit this once-ridiculed concept. While information is severely limited at this time, the three "Secondary Triforce Elements" can be best described by the following translations:

  • Sass
  • Funny Business
  • The Fucking Audacity

The image above - which depicts an artistic recreation of the famous "Princess Zelda" known wielder of the Triforce of Wisdom, defending her Royal Knight - appears to demonstrate the royal's affinity to the Secondary Triforce of Sass. One might speculate that Wisdom and Sass would, therefore, share an inherent connection. (While appealing in concept, it is important to note that no evidence has been found which could back up such a claim.)

By this logic, some hyliopologists have extrapolated that the Royal Knight might be affiliated with the Triforce of Funny Business, given his known affiliation to Courage. Given that the Knight of this era was suspected to be of a particularly rambunctious or even mischievous nature, this theory may be plausible. However, it is important to note that in the absence of hard evidence connecting the Triforce of Courage to Funny Business, one cannot ignore the possibility of the Royal Knight being affiliated with the Triforce of The Fucking Audacity."

You know. While I do appreciate the headcannon that Odysseus and Penelope had absolutely sick nasty sex as soon as he got home, my opinion is actually that they went straight to bed and slept through the night and well into the next day, getting the best sleep either of them has gotten in 20 years.

Because like. We know why Odysseus would need to rest finally after being in the Trojan war and then being hunted by gods and monsters for the next ten years.

But Penelope.

Penelope was home. Waiting, and then she was told the Trojan war is over and Odysseus should be home any day. And then months passed and then that turned to years. And now suitors are claiming her husband is dead and she needs to choose someone else. And at first they’re polite about it but then they grow increasingly…not so polite about it.

Odysseus was battling monsters, yes. But Penelope lived with them. I imagine she spent every night sleeping lightly, knife in hand and facing her bedroom door—maybe not sleeping at all. She wouldn’t be able to stop all of them but she wouldn’t go down without a fight.

And nearly ten years passes like that.

And then Odysseus finally makes it back and all the suitors are dead. Yeah, fucking him is nice but holy shit she needs to fucking sleep.

I wasn't ready for this angle at all 😭

The title makes this sound waaaay more dramatic than it is. It just rhymed. Don't worry, I'm good. ^_^ Anyway, I FINALLY figured out why reblogging or opening any kind of posts on here would always give me a black screen. Turns out it was one of my browser extensions acting up. Now that it's fixed, I can actually post stuff again. I think my page might be 10 years old by now...
