This article taught me things I didn’t know, though who knows if the optimism will pan out

You know, when people say “geothermal energy is poised for a big breakout”, I expect more volcanic eruptions.

#I didn’t actually laugh aloud but it still amused me enough to reblog #fun with loopholes #overly literal interpretations #(as for the conversation going on in the notes: no I will not buy toccatainfsharpminor a .ca domain) #(you have to publicly doxx yourself in order to buy one of those) #(it’s pretty severe doxxing too like your home address and everything)

I… hate rituals… the togetherness music and speeches turn me into the grinch… 

I do appreciate the material sans context, but I believe it should be consumed in the privacy of one’s room as one uglycries over the fragility of human civilization and then resolves to do what little one can to protect it. Doing that stuff together, there’s something almost obscene about it that sends one’s antipropagandistic system on high alert that some beautiful personal faculty is being hijacked for a profane public purpose.

The more Jules Verne I read, the more apparent it becomes that he’s basically whatever you’d call a weeaboo but for the US and UK

 

limeadeislife:

The UK version is “teaboo”, idk about the US one yet

 

kata4a:

freeaboo

 

dagny-hashtaggart:

This line of conversation is leading my brain into generating puns on “weeaboo” with its spare processor cycles.

So far I think my favorite is “Shiaboo” for a foreigner obsessed with Iran and Persian culture.

 

jadagul:

I hadn’t realized that Jules Verne wasn’t British. Which I guess is your point.

 

dagny-hashtaggart:

#also I agree with jadagul#(holy shit he’s French)

rustingbridges

yeah I did not know he was french

I guess I thought this was common knowledge? I mean the name “Jules Verne” doesn’t exactly scream “brit” to me, though I guess he could’ve been an Englishman from a French family or something.

 

jadagul:

The name “Jules Verne” screams “Brit” to me, entirely because it sounds like the name of the science fiction author named Jules Verne, who is obviously British. :P

Partly this, but also “Jules” feels pretty British to me. That might just be Julian Bashir’s fault, though.

Okay everyone, how long have you had your AO3 account, and how many pages do you have in your History???

#huh #I didn’t know the History section was a thing #the more you know #(maybe I should go through and see if anything stands out as ”oh yeah‚ I haven’t saved a copy of that one yet‚ I’m gonna go do that”) #anyway I joined on 2016-05-02 and I have 27 pages of history #(some of which are still to-be-read) #(but OTOH when I get logged out it often takes me a while to notice so there’s also *under*counting) #AO3 #surveys
