oof

Have you ever looked closely at a car windshield?

The edge of the glass is painted where it is glued to the car but it has these small dots between the clear and painted glass.

These are there for a reason. When the sun hits the glass the painted areas and the clear areas will absorb heat at different rates. This causes the glass to expand and contract differently putting stress on the glass.

These dots help the glass to warm up more evenly over a larger area so the glass does not suffer stress that could cause it to spontaneously explode.

Fun fact: the Tesla cybertruck doesn’t have these.

Yes, the glass will spontaneously crack or explode in the sun.

Friendship

“…Lamb says somewhere that if, of three friends (A, B, and C), A should die, then B loses not only A but “A’s part in C,” while C loses not only A but “A’s part in B.” In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity; I want other lights than my own to show all his facets. Now that Charles is dead, I shall never again see Ronald’s reaction to a specifically Caroline joke. Far from having more of Ronald, having him “to myself” now that Charles is away, I have less of Ronald. Hence true Friendship is the least jealous of loves. Two friends delight to be joined by a third, and three by a fourth, if only the newcomer is qualified to become a real friend…”

I love having a cat because who else will sit with me for four hours solid while I sort aquarium gravel by colour composition surface texture and patina

Sometimes he tries to eat the rocks but I've honed my reflexes to a razor's edge for just such an occasion

Wait so you’re telling me my only options for letting people know I’m having a hard time in real life are 1) telling them (won’t happen, humiliating) or 2) public mental breakdown (also won’t happen, more humiliating)

i always click the "track package" button as soon as i get the email. "oh boy i wonder where my package is!" warehouse.

tumblr publishing a major cosmetic update (at least for the ios app) the day before april fool’s day is so suspicious….. girl what are you planning

ohhhhh. it was nothing. they didn’t plan anything.

they threw together some polls because they clearly prioritized changing fonts and spacing in arbitrary ways for their update and didn’t have time to do an april fool’s gag

thats so lame lol

The majority of the Earth’s rodents: How do you survive environments with practically zero oxygen, feel no pain, and live for decades when none of the rest of us can???

Naked mole-rats:

Being an evil doppelganger has to be so fucked up like imagine meeting a better version of yourself. Some chain of events going differently that led to "you" being a better person in a way you can never achieve. Personally I'd have no other option but to try and kill them

It's always "oh no my evil clone or twin or whatever is trying to kill me" and never How is my evil clone? Says a lot about society

Me, crashing the fuck out: you think you're better than me? You think you're fucking better than me???

My good clone, dodging a glass: I mean like objectively yeah

horses traveling on a highway meant for cars these horses are many in number and valiant in spirit as they rebel against the removal of horses from main roads following the invention of the automobile they seem to be on the way to chattanooga or greenville or augusta or macon which places them in the united states state of georgia on the interstate i seventy five these georgia horses are on a mission of rebellion against the status quo which is that cars belong on roads and horses belong not on roads

treating "historians" not only as this unified group but also as a coherent socio-political entity w unified ideas, ideals, goals and methods is actually the reddest possible flag. thats a tell-tale sign that this person doesnt know what the fuck theyre talking about. capital h Historians arent lying to u. capital h Historians arent hiding stuff from u, they dont want u to believe anything, bc Historians isnt an organization or a political affiliation. u know the old saying, 2 jews, 3 opinions? historians r like that too

"Historians dont want u to know *historical figure* was gay!1!!" n its in the 'personal life' section of said figure's wikipedia page

but seriously Fellas, don't forget to schedule a pap smear every couple of years just in case. If you still have a cervix you can still get cervical cancer. ilu

this has been a psa

i've had this as an idea since 2017 btw

I really like this website because somebody will be like “there’s nothing wrong with darting out from behind a parked car into traffic, bootlicker” and you can be like okay this clearly evolved from a valid point about how the US is too car-centric. But something happened to it.

Fascinated by the idea of the kind of deer that would call somebody a bootlicker as an insult.

A deer bootlicker is a deer that's so bad at foraging and whose forage range is so barren that they must subsist off the grass stuck to the boots of hikers and farmers

Update from the man himself

The Porn Guy aka The Nice Guy aka The Canadian side of Pornhub aka SFW Pornhub’s REAL NAME is Ryan Creamer. No joke, that is legit his real name.

Also this.

Which led him to this.

Bless this man.

I can appreciate him and the service he’s providing independently of the shitshow that is the platform he’s hosted on.

He remains just as funny and weird on other platforms dw

By the way, the topic he was presenting was

‘Can I get an Honorary Degree if I Just Ask Really Nicely’

What’s the answer?

The answer is “no”, with the side note of “when asking a list of random colleges for an honorary degree, be sure to research them better, because a white guy who got famous on pornhub accidentally asking a black women’s college to give him a degree for doing nothing gets awkward really fast”

is anyone else also doing ultimately fine + dying of stress + it’s not that bad + if i don’t wake up tomorrow hotter and better at every hobby its fucking over for me

i watched this episode tonight and was so enamored with this dance animation i had to go back and gif it
