Dumbassery and Self-Destruction at Bargain Prices!

[Dumbassery and Self-Destruction at Bargain Prices!]

So, apparently I have (a few) followers, likely mostly due to random posts I made on other folks’ blogs. Hope those of you who aren’t bots aren’t expecting anything too exciting or cohesive out of me, though, let alone all that often: I did name my corner of this site “dabbling in dumbassery” for a reason.

That’s not to say I won’t put out SOMETHING remotely good at some point in the future, of course. Just… feel free to stay awhile and gawk at my occasional madness and/or idiocy, maybe even point and laugh if you need, until I possibly do something remotely cool.

Stay safe out there, folks…!

The idea of dragons in modern times is so fun because imagine a hot summer day on your vacay and go to use the hotel pool and staff is like "valued guests we regret to inform you that the pool area is out of service at the moment, we apologize for the inconvenience"

And people like "wtf why" looking out their hotel room window and there's this. This dragon just curled up in the pool chilling, literally, cooling itself down

Some of the staff are trying to gently shoo him away and the dragon does a soft little "rrrrrr" like a grumpy cat and a warning puff of smoke and they're like "fuck it i don't get paid nearly enough for this" and no ones using the pool today sorry!

Fuck that, I’m jumping in the pool with the dragon so we can hang out together. I love dragons.

what's the point of a heritage account that doesn't actually wait to see if a post has any longevity. a post from four fucking days ago is not a heritage post

[studentofetherium]

you need to wait at least a couple years to declare something a heritage post. anything less and you're just a hack. the entire concept of the term has become meaningless

[toacaldoric]

Excuse me, what’s wrong with being blond(e)?

Research has shown that pleasure affects nutrient absorption. In a 1970s study of Swedish and Thai women, it was found that when the Thai women were eating their own (preferred) cuisine, they absorbed about 50% more iron from the meal than they did from eating the unfamiliar Swedish food. And the same was true in the reverse for the Swedish women. When both groups were split internally and one group given a paste made from the exact same meal and the other was given the meal itself, those eating the paste absorbed 70% less iron than those eating the food in its normal state.

Pleasure affects our metabolic pathways; it’s a facet of the complex gut-brain connection. If you’re eating foods you don’t like because you think it’s healthy, it’s not actually doing your body much good (it’s also unsustainable, we’re pleasure-seeking creatures). Eat food you enjoy, it’s a win-win.

what

no seriously

what?

[robotlyra]

PLEASURE IS A NECESSARY PART OF HUMAN HEALTH, BOTH PSYCHOLOGICALLY AND PHYSICALLY

[aleatoryw]

this is why you should be eating your chips with salsa and guac instead of beating yourself up for not eating a salad with tomato and avocado (unless you are a salad bitch like me then enjoy both of them!)

[killjoy]

here’s a recent systemic review of all the research done on the subject

Ah yes, this post again.

Also don’t say that too loud, the megalodon stans will find us

The ocean is so huge, maybe megalodon is still kicking. Lot of places for a little clam to hide 😉

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

yeah no, we'd know. it would have a measurable effect on the ecosystem. the only reason we have large whales today is because megalodon is extinct.

[cuddlef1sh]

Just be to clear I meant this guy? Megalodon the bivalve. Sorry though

Why the fuck is there a clam/muschel with the same name as the ancient supersharks?

[ajfoxships]

wait which came first the clam or the shark? Because it would be really funny if the shark was named after the clam.

[toacaldoric]

Good point. Excellent point, actually.

[a-dinosaur-a-day]

Bivalve is a genus named in 1827

The shark is actually Otodus megalodon - megalodon is the species name - and that was named in 1835.

[toacaldoric]

Oh, cool. Any information on why the folks in the scientific community reused the name? Aside from “oh, the general public isn’t going to care enough to notice”, that is?

[faustandfurious]

The inherent homoeroticism of killing your enemy and immediately regretting it

[faustandfurious]

It’s about rage, it’s about obsession, it’s about making that two-person war your entire raison d’être. It’s about loving and mistaking it for hatred and loving and loving and loving to the point of destruction. His or yours, it doesn’t matter. And you think seeing him dead at your feet will make you feel better, but all you feel is a whole lot of nothing.

And no-one’s afflicted it with a SuperWhoLock or Homestuck reference, either. Neat.
