Why should Germans be the only ones having this kind of fun Fellow citizens of the United States I nominate Wyoming

 

abessinier:

Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you-  the Bielefeld Conspiracy

 

squirrelofdoom:

You shouldn’t spread this kind of nonsense. Non-German followers may believe that Bielefeld actually exists.

 

official-berlin:

the oldest yet biggest german meme

I had a friend in high school who insisted Mountain Time was a conspiracy. She didn’t know anyone from Mountain Time or in Mountain Time, nothing she bought or owned was made in Mountain Time, and she declared it was just a cover for the government to spend millions on the “rocky mountains” without accountability. By the end of junior year we all used “Mountain Time” as shorthand for something that shouldn’t exist, or that should exist and didn’t, like, “Oh no man, I forgot to do my homework, it’s in Mountain Time.”

 

the-real-seebs:

In 1987 or so, I started claiming this to be the case with Portugal. So, the Portugese had a reputation for piracy. (Or perhaps privateering.) And my theory is: It was the Spanish, and then they wanted a cover story.

spain: Oh, no, your ships weren’t raided by Spanish ships. It was the Portugese.
everyone else: They spoke Spanish.
spain: haha, no. They were speaking Portugese. It just sounds like Spanish.
everyone else: Where exactly is this “Portugal” then?
spain: oh, it’s… uhm… between us and the ocean. Just a little strip of land. You’d hardly notice it if it weren’t for all the pirates.
everyone else: that sounds fake but okay. (updates maps)

I’ve since been informed by people whose native language is probably Spanish or maybe Portugese that this sounds pretty likely.

do the spiderverse kids all have. slightly different meme cultures

 

iloe:

miles: look I can fit my whole fist in my mouth

gwen: freaky flexing. but alright

miles:

miles, through his fist: I’m sorry what did you just say

 

muchymozzarella:

ok but remember Peter B’s world is most like ours

 so both Miles and Gwen would have slightly off memes and distress him when he has a hard enough time remembering his own world’s memes

 

brawltogethernow:

I WAS HOPING SOMEBODY WOULD POINT THIS OUT.

 

brawltogethernow:

Miles: It’s “strange flex but cool beans.”
Peter: Am I tripping on something? Is this a stroke, is this what a stroke feels like?

 

aceslytherpuff:

Miles: *makes a mistake* This is distressing. Siri play Take on Me.

Gwen: you absolute heathen. It’s ‘This is tragic, google play All Star.’

Peter: whAT the fUCK

 

gunpowderplotandtreason:

THAT’S IT THIS ONE IS THE BEST ONE

noir: strange flaunt, but alas

I know we’re all used to the whole Scabbers is Pettigrew thing but can you imagine getting kidnapped by some dude and then your very professional teacher appears and points a gun at your dog and goes “Mr. Sprinkles is a war criminal”

TIL In the middle ages some kings had clothes made from “Salamander fur” which were completely fire-proof and bright white. The name likely comes from the common belief that Salamanders were “born from fire”. The clothes were actually made out of asbestos.

via reddit.com

Should thou or thy belovèd be distinguished by judgement of a physician of the four humours to have become bestruck by that most terrifying of spectres, that which is known in our physical realm only by his unholiest name “Mesothelioma”, thou may be selected by writ of the law to receive financial benefit at the behest of thy king and kingdom. That unholiest of spectres be one of great recherché, and is beckoned by thy brandishing of, or otherwise exposure to, that material which is called salamander fur. Brandishing of salamander fur within the realms of seaborne nobledom, dockyards, mills, warmthcasting, carpentry, or equine husbandry may bear upon thee that spectre. We insist that thou mustn’t lose haste, summon us by use of the code 1-800-99-THE-LAW-2 within this day to assemble a conference of writ at no financial forbearence upon thee and receive print regarding affairs of the related capital. Bearers of that unholiest spectre beckon now! 1-800-99-THE-LAW-2

Jonathan Gleason was my friend who committed suicide just over a month ago… and I just found out that he wrote this 800+ page analysis textbook. By himself. Because he was teaching analysis and he was dissatisfied with the textbook he was assigned so he just…. wrote his own.

Even if you haven’t done any math… please just take a look at this. Scroll through it as fast as you like. It’s incredible that he put so much work and so much free time into this… I’m still in awe and I really want everyone to see it. In particular, if you want a good laugh, look at chapter 5 of the analysis textbook. The opening paragraph is SO Johnny.

He also wrote a linear algebra textbook, here. 

I really want to thank everyone who has reblogged/liked this, and even anyone who just clicked on the link to check it out. I wasn’t expecting more than a handful of notes on this, so knowing that his hard work gets shared and even appreciated by a few strangers really means a lot.

I’ve taken some of the best/easiest to follow snippets and provide them here, I hope you enjoy them as much as I have:

“Da fuq”.

Oh thank god.

At least he admits when he’s being sloppy.

God, I wish more math textbooks read like this.

And last but not least, my absolute favorite part, the opening to the chapter on integration.

There are so many more tidbits like this and I wish literally all of my textbooks could be written like this.

Jonothan Gleason died Jan 16th, 2018 and it means so much to me that so many people got a kick out of the little pieces of him that are in this book. Thanks for all of the rb’s and likes, I’m so happy that even just a few hundred people got to enjoy his writing and hard work.

Mythbusters ended too soon. I feel like The Cask Of Amontillado is exactly the myth they would have tested.

Like, figuring out how long it takes the mortar to dry. Finding the maximum amount of time before knocking down a recently built brick wall. Establishing the best place on a recently bricked wall to topple it and escape.

And then, doing all of that while drunk.

Mythbusters, you left us too soon.

actually, they made that episode – I have a copy of it in my basement, wanna see?

Would I?!

Convert Farenheit to Celsius:

  1. Get in your car
  2. Drive North until the nice man with the flashlight asks you about “the purpose of your visit”
  3. Ask a local/townie for the temperature
  4. Boom, instant Celsius.
  5. Optional: Maybe settle down and never come back
