I had a dream that I went to a video rental store (???) and they had a gundam manga where everything was the same except the entire cast was cambrian creatures (?????)

#this is the version of gundam that was made for me #can we get some anomalocaris being 2x-3x the size of the trilobites #anomalocaris is the aircraft carrier is where I'm going here #love them

my doom approaches. (figured out I can make cookies in the toaster oven.)

#like three of them at a time which is exactly how many cookies I generally crave #toaster ovens are a source of great power #next time I gotta remember the wax paper though

i just found out tumblr was storing over three GIGABYTES of cookies on my device without me knowing and that's why it's been running so fucking slow recently... incredible. anyways everyone go clear your fucking cookies. don't let this website run a goddamn video game's worth of disc space in the background for no good reason.

#this helped a lot with load times

Am I getting a good grade in tumblr mutual?

#most unexpected mutual #glad you like the flaming marlin taxidermy content #thanks for giving me entertaining context for when I carry a sword around new york city

I was doing my 25% googling and I actually hit a word that google couldn't solve for me: enneachromat. I was shocked and also delighted. It clearly derives from monochromat, so then I had to go to the online etymology database to figure out the prefix, ennea-, which means nine. Then I got the joke.

average commonweal series reading experience: 50% reading the actual text of the books, 25% scrolling back to something you read a few chapters ago that suddenly has a completely new meaning in context, 25% googling minerals and chemical compounds you've never even heard of

#the commonweal #it was in fact a joke in context #jokes that require me to hit up the etymology dictionary!!! #the 25% googling is very real #I get the minerals but I have to google all the old middle english #there's a lot of old middle english. fylstan for example. #sometimes it's archaic greek instead because why not
