I love Star Trek EPs that are clearly filmed in someone's backyard

we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen

also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote

suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response

#yeah swearing #i mean realistically do a double take #because you wont immediately realise thats a dead person because its unexpected #i mean if the body does a jumpscare scream makes sense

I love learning about other culture's Houseguest Protocols but I hate hate hate when they don't match up cause like

I (PNW Canadian, raised with etiquette from my old British great-grandparents) sleeping over: Can I help with dinner. Can I do the dishes. PLEASE let me do something useful. Im sorry I'm here. I can sleep on the floor it's fine. You don't need to cook for me I can go outside and drink pond water. Do you hate me

My friend (Indian, raised by entire extended family in Dubai) hosting me: Why won't you let me feed you. Do you need more coffee. Am I doing something wrong. Do you have enough blankets? I will buy you warmer clothes. Here, you can sleep in my room, I'll take the couch. Why are you crying? Oh God am I a bad host

#i usually give those guests some sort of specific task

the idea that restrooms, locker rooms, etc need to be single-sex spaces in order for women to be safe is patriarchy's way of signalling to men & boys that society doesn't expect them to behave themselves around women. it is directly antifeminist. it would be antifeminist even if trans people did not exist. a feminist society would demand that women should be safe in all spaces even when there are men there.

#women can also do violence #you need to have things in place that keep people safe regardless of gender of anyone #if a place has a respectful atmosphere then this sort of thing is safe anf chill #and some people prefer more privacy thus we need single cabin options #again a thing we need regardless of gender #give people who want them the option to change by themselves #and for everyone else create a space where people are respectful about it #like ive been in theater it can work

Just checking.... We all pronounce Miette like My-TAY in our heads, right?

#mee-at-te #i could have realised its french but i said this one German in my head

listen, if you want to be with someone that has ADHD and doesn’t / can’t take medicine for it, you have to understand that we just forget. Yes, we know you had us write it down and put it somewhere obvious, we still forgot. Yes, you just said it 10 times, we still forgot. Yes, you literally, to our face, seconds before, told us in detail, we turned around and forgot immediately. we forget, everything, immediately, most of the time.

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

It’s extremely easy to get me into new music. Recommend me a song or two from your friends’ band. Hold on. How many of you know a band

Ok. Now post a link for me

#guy in group chat from my study program who keeps advertising himself #my dads in a band too but they only play live covers #and through boyfriend i know a woman who sings in a metal band #she tried to teach me screaming at 1 am drunk and was condescending about my breathing technique

People tend to throw out the phrase "extremely specific kinks" as though that inherently implies something transgressive, but in my experience, the overwhelming majority of extremely specific kinks are so innocuous that you could see them in public and not even clock them. For every person who can only get off to having their nipples electrocuted, there are a dozen who are volcanically aroused by seeing their partner wearing one specific pair of socks.

#i find them deeply amusing usually #because like ok yeah sure thats cool but that is so specific

Blogging under the influence(horny)

If you have shared it with someone else or didn't finish the whole thing, select a "yes" option. Select the option that best describes your experience with cigarettes.

Literally any show can be improved by adding more older women. Not many know this, but it’s true.

It's incredible how people have been protesting pants and skirts not having pockets but not a single peep is heard over the fact that skirts no longer have underskirts by default. Underskirts (or lining) was a thing when I was a child, no skirt would be made without lining, you didn't have to think and check if your whole ass is visible in a skirt because lining was a thing!!!! Now most skirts don't and it's simply because it's cheaper, fuck the fact that a customer doesn't want their panties shown in broad daylight, it saves a couple of cents on material.

#i have a few brands i like to buy #and in all cases originally it was because they had good quality products #now none of then have the quality i liked them for anymore #literally the first products i bought there still last just fine #but newer ones ive already had to replace #im talking the last 10-12 years here btw #the big drop i think was 6-7 years back

no multi option, agonize and choose, no results option, pick one to find out or scroll onward

#laundry is most convenient #most others i either have a good tool for #or its not something i care about much #for example i dont much care about my food getting cold #but definitely interesting options
