Honestly the amount of people in shipwrecks who die because of malfunctions while letting down the lifeboats make me think that it's safer to just jump in, even if it means getting knocked out in impact with the water
Started getting into documentaries about ship wrecks and the amount of times the word "Sea-men" is used makes me very happy

Also, when this ship was wrecked and all those people died, another ship-company held a fucking parade to celebrate the loss of their competing company. Like wtf???

i'm so proud of myself bc someone in a class yesterday claimed that the word dämlich changed meaning and used to mean something like damenhaft originally — and i didn't correct them!! bc as we all know people ~in the past~ HATED women so of course they changed it to meaning stupid 😤😤 — which of course is untrue both generally and especially in this case... and it's not like i have to be right about everything all the time but i hate misinformation especially when it assumes that everything in the past has always been done with malicious intent, so i have to let at least you know that:
a) dämlich has the same origin as dumm, deriving from something meaning foggy-brained and very originally deriving from meaning dark (hence also Dämmerung)
b) Dame of course derived from lat. domina, lit. meaning Herrin

Me 20 min ago: haha, seamen sounds like semen :D
Me now: 200 years ago, when the men on a drowning ship realized that they weren't enough life-boats to save even half of them and they realized that they would die, they decided that their last act on this world would be to rape the women. Humanity is broken.

I’ll never understand why anthropomorphic animal cartoons like Robin Hood and Zootopia will go to the trouble of creating character designs that are meant to be understood as “attractive” or even “sexy” to the human audience but explicitly avoid showing interspecies romances between anthropomorphic animals. Why is THAT weird but, like, trying to make rabbits recognizably sexy-coded to humans isn’t?

remember that time that spock said “this is about sex” but he couldn’t say sex so instead he said “biology” and kirk clearly knew what he meant but was awkwardly like “what kind of biology” and spock got this look on his face like ‘oh lordy i’m not dealing with this today’ and said “vulcan biology” and kirk can’t say the word sex either so he goes “u mean the biology of vulcans” and then they stood there in silence for ten seconds like a pair of fucking idiots

Shocking how many people don’t know that hens lay non-fertilized eggs and think the yolk they’re eating is a baby chicken
