why is france called the hexagon when its abundantly clear that it’s a pentagon
what
mmm i guess i see it i was definitely seeing 1 and 2 as one side plus the left and right sides slope out more
yeah tbh i see how you can see 1 and 2 as one side
actually its a decagon
careful apollo might hear you
ok but if we r being really pedantic it’s a triacontakaipentagon (35 sides)
Tumblr accidentally rediscovers the coastline paradox
For anyone that didn’t feel like googling it, the coastline paradox is realizing that you can make the coastline as long or short as you want based on how detailed you want to be while measuring and mapping. This is exemplified in a simplistic way by the posts above.
As someone who uses an RSS reader to follow everyone here - and who therefore sees everyone’s themes when I want to like/reblog - EVERYONE NEEDS TO SEE THESE!
an angel would fuck a streetlamp and it would be nothing. it would be like a dog thoughtlessly rutting against a couch: pure instinctual pleasure chasing with something that may elicit but not share in your libido. but if an angel fucked a cell tower then viable offspring could very well result
this isn’t an arbitrary fact nor am i saying it in a fit of tryhard i’m-so-quirky-weird-internet-man pretense ok im saying that metaphysically speaking, if we were talking about the pure intent and function of angels and cell towers, they are absolutely in the same family of creature
people are asking “are you okay” and “what the fuck does this mean”. you are not contributing to divine phylogeny
It took me a moment, but I think OP means that both angels and cell towers are specifically made for communication purposes.
Nowmy brain is running with this idea and it points out that angels are 1 way communication, from God to humans, but cell towers are 2-way.
Therefore an angel/cell tower hybrid (angel tower?) would (depending on the precise details of hybridization) result in either 2-way communication with God, 1-way communication from God (essentially being just another angel), or 1-way communication to God.
The last is the funniest possible option, because it would allow people to scream at him about everything going on without (verbal) retaliation.
Arguably even funnier though, is that using OP’s method of classification, angels can hybridize with anything that specifically facilitates communication, leading to such additionally nonsensical lovers as:
Walkie-talkies
Smartphones
Telegrams
Carrier pigeons
Text-to-speech software
Email
Snail mail
And many more. I don’t normally do this, but @1rakus, you must see what you have wrought!
it works so well HOW. the markings, the hoof on the wing, the short tail, the pink eye
Kind of a Jersey Devil
I actually had a hypothetical jersey devil concept but I envisioned it as a large winged leporid with shope papilloma virus. I should probably try making more shitty cryptid designs tbh
Bestiary Entry:Pteranoequus jerseyii, more commonly known as the “Jersey Devil“ after a local superstition, is a heavily derived extant species in Order Pterosauria.
Most theorize it to be a surviving member of the Azhdarchidae Family, but some contrarians claim it to be part of Dsungariptidae, and lacking fossil DNA from either it cannot be entirely ruled out.
Despite its fiendish reputations amongst the local populace, P. jerseyii appears to be largely herbivorous and does not eat people. That’s not to say it won’t trample them. If provoked it will, but the same goes for all sufficiently large herbivores.
Theydoeat meat; they are simply not obligate herbivores. Rather, they eat meat as a nutritional supplement, and in captivity show preference for vitamin supplements over meat with the same nutrients.
Every year I see dry ice marketed for use by campers, and it’s certainly effective for keeping things cooler longer, but I never see anyone talk about the fact that it’s a tick magnet, to the point that a cooler containing dry ice, even fully closed, is the go-to lure used by field researchers who WANT to attract as many ticks as possible. Here are some tick traps in action:
The fact that people are told to take dry ice with them into the woods, and not told that this is a thing, feels kind of glaring to me???
This happens because dry ice is solid carbon dioxide, and the carbon dioxide in our breath is what ticks use to track us. Not just ticks, either; mosquitoes and other blood-feeding organisms also rely on it. I’ve never been camping myself, but I imagine if you do use dry ice, you should keep it away from where you intend to sit, eat or sleep.

That’s terrifying! It also sounds a way to kill somebody by giving them tick-borne diseases with 100% deniability.
Ok so Haumea, a dwarf planet beyond Pluto, spins so fast it gets elongated like this. This is just what it looks like. Something deeply unsettles me looking at it. Terrifying.
this is so fucked up
This planet looks like a cool rock someone found in a creek.
one day it’s going to hatch and then all of you will be sorry
I look forward to meeting our dizzy, space hatchling overlord and/or destroyer.
