Kizuilua

Had a dream last night that i was a knight and this bigger scarier knight had me on the ground and right before he swung his sword at my neck he said smth like "i mourn the loss of life for the tree who will become your coffin" which shouldnt have turned me on like it did but alas

@theshitpostcalligrapher I think I found one for you.

sweeeeeeet

I have had a lucid dream exactly one (1) time and I think I fucked it up.

I dreamed I was driving past my old college and I went “Wait this is a dream! I can do whatever I want!” and I immediately swerved into oncoming traffic and right before I hit a truck I thought “Boy I hope this is a dream or this is going to really hurt”

And then I woke up.

I have not had a lucid dream since.

i feel like nobody has NOTPs anymore. like if you hate a ship now it has to be for some deep moral reason and you have to justify it to everyone what happened to just not liking stuff that isnt inherently bad but just because you personally think it sucks

aquarium advertisments say stuiff like discover the longtooth grouper this friday

I see that, and raise you my local aquarium's advertising.

Vancouver Aquarium has similar ads!

They also have some SERIOUSLY inventive ones:

(High and Low Tide ^)

the only type of advertising that should exist: "ooooohhhh you want to come look at the animal"

To anyone who follows me, I don't care about nor trust Colossal Biosciences anymore (The people behind the "Wooly Mice"). They have proven themselves to be headline-chasing grifters after this latest stunt. They are claiming to have de-extincted *Aenocyon dirus*, aka the Dire Wolf, by editing just 20 genes from the the DNA of a Grey Wolf (*Canis lupus*) to make this thing:

If it wasn't clear from their scientific names, Grey Wolves and Dire Wolves aren't remotely related to one another aside from being Canids, despite what pop culture like Game of Thrones would have you believe. If they did look like each other, it would have had to be via convergent evolution, as they only shared a common ancestor over 5 million years ago.

This distinction, however, isn't found in the publicized articles about this so-called resurrected Dire Wolf and makes their claim that they brought the Dire Wolf back by simply editing *20* genes from the genome of a Grey Wolf laughable. A Dire Wolf would have shared more in common genetically with a Maned Wolf (*Chrysocyon brachyurus*) or Bush Dog (*Speothos venaticus*) than it would with a Grey Wolf.

Bottom line, don't fall for whatever this company is trying to tell you. If the Dire Wolf were to be brought back, it wouldn't be via something like this, and certainly wouldn't *look* like this. If you want an idea as to how a real Dire Wolf would look like in life, here is some fantastic paleoart by artist Mauricio Antón:

Addendum: I seem to have partially miscalculated Dire Wolf genetics. They were not closer to Maned Wolves or Bush Dogs, but they were still not closely related to Grey Wolves. They were basal members of Canini, related to canids like Jackals (genus Lupulella) but distinct from them. I am sorry for this misinformation in my attempt to correct other misinformation. My main point, however, is still correct.

Yeah, I saw this and my immediate thought was "these people don't know what they're doing". My second thought was, "these people know what they're doing is a scam". Either way, I've always been very suspicious of Colossal's, well, colossal claims, and now it's clear they're full of shit

"magical fey shapeshifter surrounded by regular animals" is by far my favorite cartoon saloon trope

This is the funniest fucking addition anyone has ever made on one of my posts. Everyone else go home

Suomen viisi kauneinta murretta Me Naisten lukijoiden mukaan:

5. Pohjois-Karjalan murre 4. Lounaismurre 3. Etelä-Pohjanmaan murre 2. Kaakkoismurre eli Karjalan murre 1. Savon murre

En tiedä toimiiko nämä videot Suomen ulkopuolella, mutta tässä Ilta-Sanomien jutussa on murre-esimerkkejä. Yleisesti aiheesta täällä.

Oisko kellään suosituksia esim. videoista joissa puhutaan luonnollisesti näitä (tai miksei muitakin) murteita?

pahalapsi puhuu savoa

ja Rouzimary tekee sketsejä Etelä-Pohjanmaan murteella

Yle julkaisee myös lyhyitä tietoiskumaisia uutisvideoita joissa juontaja puhuu omaa murrettaan (tässä Pohjois-Pohjanmaa)

Ja täällä on vielä video missä mm. Kirsi Alm-Siira lukee uutiset omalla lounaismurteellaan

Kotuksella on oma murrearkisto, josta löytyy äänitteitä yli sadan vuoden takaa suomen eri murteista. Aiheetkin näissä ovat mielenkiintoisia!

My NSFW Catgirls zine.

why are dudes in fanfic always getting hit with freight train orgasms. why not an orient express orgasm, classy and romantic. where are the shinkansen train orgasms? his orgasm hit him like the TGV atlantique breaking the passenger rail speed record. like the shanghai maglev, his orgasm was a feat of engineering but something of a commercial disappointment.

Don’t tell me delayed orgasms aren’t a thing

This is the best representation of something I have been trying to explain to people for years!!!! Saving this to my phone so I can routinely pull it out when I need. 

This shit never made more sense than now

Vote with your heart not with your pussy

to succeed in adult friendship you must remember the key tenets of child friendship:

successful examples from my travels:

of course these can be mixed and matched. most activities are enhanced by Snack Time if your friend targets enjoy breaking bread together.

and one begets the other. if you Play Pretend with someone for long enough they may eventually tell you about Toys they have and if you want to play too they'll probably let you. if they're nice.

life can be lonely when we live in separate boxes and worry about money all the time. this is what makes friendships hard, not growing older. but the antidote to isolation is connection, and the oldest wisdom we ever learn: share your toys. share your games. share your snacks.
