Ignoring the actual content…

I love the fact that I could read all of this.

 

geeksaurusrex:

This is my average reading pace for most things. Of course, it’s easier when you use an app that does flash-training like this. 

 

comparativelysuperlative:

If people want to get the Spritzlet app and tell me how long it takes to read the same text with and without it, I’ll be able to figure out how well it usually works and whether the few people I have data on so far are wacky outliers.

I can almost keep up with the text stream here, but not quite.

I really don’t get the appeal of Spritz. One of the primary advantages of text is that it will sit there and wait for you until you decide to move on, and you can easily skip back and read over the previous paragraph again if you didn’t quite understand it or you want to savour a good turn of phrase. This streaming method has all the hyper-linear bullshit of audio, only even more overly fast. Why not just listen to a sped-up podcast? Unless the intended audience is deaf people who want the sped-up-podcast experience, but that doesn’t seem to be the case.

midgardian etiquette 101: when going to their homes, hang your coat first or in some cases, your mjolnir.

 

deja-q:

naw maybe it’s actually asgardian custom to check your weapons at the door

 

kakashi-big-lips:

It was medieval custom to check your weapons at the door of the meadhall before greeting the king of the place you were going to. It was courteous and showed respect. You can see it in Beowulf. 

 

piertotum-locomottor:

what i don’t understand is how that hook can hold the mjolnir.

 

abookwormcalledellie:

the hook is worthy

 

callmeshiny:

the hook is worthy

 

stephendann:

Peter Pan would disagree.

 

serinalion:

I’ve not read the comics but I always figured Mjolnir wasn’t heavy so much as stubborn, and if it decided it didn’t wanna move it just wouldn’t. It sits on Loki, rather than crushing him in Thor 1, and in Avengers it rests on the floor of the ship, and trying to pick it up Hulk starts breaking the floor with his weight, but Mjolnir doesn’t seem to weight anything at all (If it was as heavy as Hulk implied, it would drag the whole ship to the ground right?). Mjolnir isn’t heavy, cos its not going down, instead it is a fixed point and everything else just moves around it. Hence, the hook doesn’t hold it, it merely remains in place.

 

robotunicorncastiel:

so what you’re trying to say is that Mjolnir is like a chicken head

 

ecumenicalseeker:

 instead it is a fixed point and everything else just moves around it. 

OK SO WHAT YOU ARE SAYING
IS THAT WHEN THIS HAMMER WAS FORGED IN THE HEART OF A STAR IT BECAME A FIXED QUANTUM POINT
AND THE UNIVERSE MOVES AROUND IT—AND THOR IS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE PROPER RESONANCE TO INTERACT WITH IT ON A QUANTUM LEVEL
AND SO HE IS THE ONLY ONE WITH THE LEVERAGE REQUIRED TO SHIFT THE REST OF THE UNIVERSE AROUND THE FIXED POINT THAT IS MJOLNIR

THIS MAKES SO MUCH SENSE

 

blueflame91:

DUDE YOU GUYS SCIENCED THORS HAMMER THAT IS AWESOME

 

esculentesset:

so for some ungodly reason tumblr staff decided it’d be a good idea to allow flashy gifs or incredibly bright images to be a background for the login screen. a lot of people i know are photosensitive and prone to headaches or other, worse things that can be caused by this. so naturally i wrote a small script to disable those completely. hopefully permanently.

you can find it here. you’ll need the browser extension/addon stylish for it to work, which you should be able to get from the website itself if i remember correctly. hope it helps someone o7

This is seriously so important. I suffer epilepsy and am extremly photosensitive, as I am sure a lot of other epileptics are. Please, spread this around, you could seriously save someone.

For our epileptic followers

Hi everyone! I know this isn’t a funny gif post, but I’m extremely photosensitive and know that many others with fibro are as well.

Jumping Spider – Tutelina elegans 

True to its scientific name Tutelina elegans (Araneae – Salticidae) is really a stylish and good looking jumping spider with long eyebrows. This is a small, iridescent-green species native to Eastern North America. The female is almost uniform iridescent green that may appear gold or even purple at different angles.
