Everyone complaining about amogus in glass onion clearly seems to forget that during covid they along with the world were obsessed with it. This movie is set during the pandemic and shows us exactly how the rich and powerful showed no regard for it (birdie Jay throwing a massive party, miles inviting his friends over to his private island) while benoit had a mental breakdown from being locked inside for so long and his husband hugh grant is stress baking.
HAPPY 2023!!! <3 Japan National team shrine visit, minus Iwa-chan as he has already been booked months prior. (they got custom seijoh haori made so they could all be matching and dunk on the other shrine goers)
I just had a random memory of a friends’ kid when she was about six or seven, when she cornered a couple of us at a get-together and says “wanna know what my dad had for lunch?”
We figured this was, while unusual, a pretty straight-forward conversation starter. “Sure”, we said.
We were NOT prepared. She went on this EPIC storytelling monologue about the restaurant and Italy and the art on the walls and some dramatic story she made up ABOUT the art on the walls. We were enraptured. No idea what was going on but by god we were hooked. At no point does she mention food.
The next week, similar get-together with the same people. Same friend I’m talking to. Same child walks up. “Wanna know what my dad had for lunch?”
But NOW we’re prepared, we’re excited. We’re about to hear some SHIT. We grin in anticipation. “Sure!”
“A salad.”
She walks off, seemingly unaware she just set up the funniest fucking week-long joke my friend and I had ever heard
Everyone always talks about flying cars this and flying cars that.
When the only futuristic gadget I want that doesn’t exist yet when it SHOULD are those cup noodles from Cowboy bebop where you just pull the tag at the bottom of it and the noodles are instantly warmed.
where is the future I was promised?
i want this to be real so i can remove the chemical heating elements from a pack of cup noodles and use them to make pipe bombs
Devil’s Hole pupfish are so mysterious to me. Why are they blue? Why are they so beautiful? They live in a mysterious yucky geothermal pool with no end in sight with at least two sets of human remains at the bottom. Every time there is an earthquake, they flee into the depths of the cave and start fucking en masse. Their population fluctuates between like 35 and 550. Sometimes they randomly stop breathing for up to two hours and just sit there.
you see slugs, like sea slugs, have the same level of salt in their bodies as seawater has!
so these slugs, (these sea slugs) don’t need to fear drying out when submerged in the sea- the salt in their bodies matches the amount of salt in the water, so no liquid needs to get moved around, you see.
so these slugs are free slugs and can go on living just fine in the sea!
have a smiling nudibranch.
(that said, there isn’t a c t u a l l y all that much salt in seawater, so if you dropped a literal pile of salt onto a sea slug, it would suck out the slug’s moisture and kill it exactly the same way as a land slug. bye for now!)
