i just gave up on that. i cook guided by vibes alone

and i must say, i mastered this skill to such a degree i can make perfect soft boiled eggs every single time. my inner clock is broken aside from when i make food, then it’s better than an actual time keeping device

i mean, we have the solutions to a lot of problems already

traffic? public trains

hunger? just like, feed people

global warming? reduce fossil fuel usage and stop poisoning the oceans

homeless? literally so many empty homes, put people in them???

and we’ve had many smart people create step by step plans for all of these!

the thing is… i guess rich people want a solution that doesn’t involve them paying for something that’s good not just for them but for others? so all those plans fail at step 1 - have empathy

okay so -

the anakin image was reposted from twitter to tumblr by someone who’s name is cropped out, then someone reblogged that post and added the speech bubble. when you reblog a post on tumblr if you add anything to it it’ll display under the first one like this

"user1:

[image]

user2:

speech bubble"

so the speech bubble contains their username because that’s just how the website is structured

i’m way too lazy to have alt accounts, just seems like a lot of work and i don’t even know what i’d use them for

They used to be an orderly, lawful kind, now they fell to the trap of internet fame

i’m next in queue

fair enough

because you expect it to taste like milk. try plant based milks without that thought in your head. it worked for me

where /s?

they do indeed, and us humans invented ways to describe them with maths

natural laws of the universe can be described with our maths. but i’m pretty sure the universe didn’t go “ah yes, 1+2=3 i can work with that! let there be light”.

the numbers, the symbols, the equations - they’re all human made, an attempt to describe things in a way that can be understood by us. but is this how they are? of course not. no wave or particle would describe itself the way we describe them, in fact they wouldn’t describe themselves at all - they simply are

i’m a fan of 13 months 28 days each & would love to see more of base 20 around tbf, for some reason base 20 feels cozy to me

oh yeah of course! i didn’t go into that because that wasn’t what i wanted to convey but absolutely. it’s one thing to be able to disconnect the author from their work, and another thing to disconnect your brain from your decision making keep supporting their work financially or by spreading the word about it

proton masses are rather small - inconvenient

the distance light travels at a certain time - then it’ll just be based on our artificial units of time

cesium oscillation i don’t know much about but from what i quickly read it’s also about keeping time, 1s to be precise, which is still an arbitrary unit

not everyone can disconnect the author from their work, if looking at your tatto makes you think about your favourite book that keeps reminding you of how the author actively keeps making your life more miserable and considers you either a predator or a broken little girl - then yeah, maybe that tattoo is not the best thing to keep around

to be fair, that house is also the place of all the kids that want to be edgy or mysterious (and the ones that like green). but yeah in the books they’re just the evil guys with little to nuance

c is pretty round (universal symbol for the speed of light)

aside from that, nothing. as science and maths are mere attempts at describing the universe all our units are arbitrary, decided to be the way they are purely because you just need to pick something to be your reference point.

at no point has a true non-artificial unit emerged, there is no constant size of anything that could aid in that (one contestant for that title could be the planck lenght but that’ss just incredibly inconvenient to use. "honey could you pelase move the couch 6,25 × 1034 planck lengths to the left? [1m])

i mean, they still do that anyway, for all we know the “disagree” button does fuck all. but at least now we know that they do it, hooray?

dw about it, your data will be safe amongst their friends! MyAnimeList and their 938 closest friends :)

god no do not bring back Gros Michels, artificial banana flavour is bleh

i suppose soon we’ll have to compromise and start liking (or not) a new banana flavour though, if that banana disease gets to the current version
