POWERFULLY ACCURATE.
oh hey @nicdevera
saw this and thought of you
^x^
As a rule I dislike things that go “I’m baffled how X people can believe Y,” it smells of superiority and uncharitable strawmanning. But I really don’t get how some people wouldn’t fuck their clone. (And am I still untaggable?)

Did anyone else have trouble finding the face in this picture? It’s called an optical illusion, but that’s a lie and it took me nearly 10 years to finally find the darn thing. It’s in the bottom centre, btw.
5 – 10 seconds? That was after reading “Did anyone else have trouble finding the face in this picture?“ and before reading “It’s in the bottom centre, btw“, so I knew more or less what I was supposed to be looking for but not where. It didn’t really jump out at me, but nor was it especially difficult to track down when I was deliberately searching for it. I don’t know how much harder it would have been if I’d just been told “there is a hidden thingy in this picture” and not what it was.

Did someone just message me? There was a “1″ on the messaging button, but I don’t see any new messages in the drop-down list of past chats.
Not me, but I’ve been having that happen at intervals too. Sometimes the message shows up later. No notes on patterns yet.
This is the first time it’s happened to me, but I’m not surprised others have been having the same issue. I’ll keep an eye on the drop-down list, and if there was someone behind it and they’re reading this, you might want to try contacting me again.

#oh look an original post
but-the-library-of-alexandria:
the thing about writing fantasy stories is that language is so based on history that it can be hard to decide how far suspension of disbelief can carry you word-choice wise – what do you call a french braid in a world with no france? can a queen ann neckline be described if there was no queen ann? where do you draw the line? can you use the word platonic if plato never existed? can you name a character chris in a land without christianity? can you even say ‘bungalow’ in a world where there was no indian language for the word to originate from? is there a single word in any language that doesn’t have a story behind it? to be accurate a fantasy story would be written in a fantasy language but who has the time for that
Tolkien had the time apparently
LIsten. Linguistics Georg, who invented over 10,000 conlangs each day, is an outlier and should not have been counted.

I love the phrase “what the entire fuck” because it implies that there exists some scenario that warrants only a “what the partial fuck”.

You know those little things that keep bread bags closed? Well, the internet would like to tell you about them. If you’re not doing anything too important right now, I think you should visit HORG (that’s the Holotypic Occlupanid Research Group) and explore a beautiful, obsessive, hilarious taxonomy of occlupanids.
(ht Metafilter)
Some of these must have a tiny , isolated reproducing population, because they’re looking rather in-bread.
This is amazing and up your alley.
Phylogeny is such an artificial fucking hot mess, I love it. I love it all.

MEMO
FROM: The Desk of Regional Commander (South-West) Cesar Majano, AB-DENs
TO: Field Captain John Walk
SUBJECT: Field Training the New RecruitsCaptain:
Please see the attached report from the agents at the DSO. Apparently some of your recruits, out on a training mission, were spotted by Muggles on a desert walk-about. Please have words with the recruits: while we are extremely impressed with the detail of their transformations, we would ask they remember that it is not enough to simply look like a cactus. Proper cactus behavior is expected. Luckily DSO agents got wind of this issue through the Meme-Divination wing of those clever bastards over in the MRD and were able to quash the story before it broke. Now we only have this rather funny picture circulating and which I feel will be an excellent learning tool for your recruits both present and future.
Sincerely,
-RC-SW Cesar Majano
