The “bats can do calculus” thing is funny, because if you play around with synths for a while, you realize a lot of what humans perceive as “natural” sounds are just us directly perceiving certain complex mathematical things as big gestalt gestures. Like recognizing a multiplied wave as sounding like a woodwind. Hearing individual notes within a chord is basically Fourier analysis. Feeling how naturally a note decays is perceiving how linear or exponential the curve is. The fact that a sine wave sounds smooth but a sawtooth wave sounds nasally, and a square wave has a certain hollow fuzz to it. Is someone doing “math” there? Once you get the flavor of what each of those qualities are like, listening to the world becomes like directly perceiving math. Also, listening to birds becomes very strange. Because you realize some goofy easy weird sound you can squelch out of an analog synth is the same thing a bird is doing. Then sometimes they make a sound you can’t make. What kind of math is that bird on? Makes you wonder.
man the crazy thing about babies is that like, some people would think that reading a baby a book about farm animals is teaching them about farm animals, but really it’s teaching them about the concept of a book and how there’s new information on each page of a single object, but really, beyond that,it’s teaching them how language works, and beyond that it’s really actually teaching them about human interaction, and really really it’s them learning about existing in a three-dimensional space and how they can navigate that space, but actually, above all it is teaching them that mama loves them.
does tumblr know about tim misny??? like has the level of tim misny awareness that exists in northeast ohio broken containment and become known online yet???
ok so tim misny is a personal injury lawyer here in ohio.
that’s him. you do not have to remember his face from this image because you’re gonna see it a lot in this post. so mainly i think we all kinda honed in on tim misny because of his slogan
he’s gonna make them pay. he’s gonna get you that money but also it’s a little threatening like he’s gonna fully fuck his legal opponent’s shit up. this sprung tons of local memes. then there were the billboards which were normal at first.
but here’s the thing; we already know what misny does. he makes them pay. so it turns into just saying “you know what i do” which is funny enough if you don’t at all have the context.
but this is not where the absurdity caps out, my friends. no. this is what it has evolved to and they. are. everywhere.
that’s right. no text. just the judging eyes of tim misny, glaring through our skin and into our souls. there is no god. there is no devil. there is just tim misny and he’s gonna make them pay.
i love monks in dnd because the guy on the battlefield armed with only his fists doesn’t seem very threatening until he starts sprinting toward you at 69 miles per hour
Facts about your body after you turn 25, AKA things I wish someone had told me:
you will get hair in fun new places. this is normal and fine.
these places include (but are not limited to) if you don’t already have them: your asscrack, your back, your ears, and moles. it’s fine.
some of you, dick or not, will also lose hair. this is normal, but also if you have ovaries maybe get this checked out for PCOS.
your acne will probably change. some people get better. some people get worse. it’s fine.
your nails will probably get an infection or a fungus at least once in your life. this is fine. (but also let your doc know).
how you gain and lose fat and where you do so will change. this is fine.
how you smell will change. this is fine. (fishy or rotten smells mean doctor time though)
if you have a prostate: it gets harder to pee. prostates enlarge as you age (get this checked regularly). this is fine.
if you do not have a prostate: it gets easier to pee but not in a good way. as in as you get older, your pelvic floor muscles tend to lose some of their strength. this makes it harder to keep pee in. this is fine.
all breasts and pectorals eventually sag, with the rest of your body. this is fine.
a decent percent of the population will experience a cyst at least once. some of you will make up for the rest with multiple. this is fine, but keep them checked out by a doctor. (sometimes this is a condition! get checked for that too!)
almost half of everyone gets hemorrhoids. it’s a good idea to just expect them since your chances of getting them get higher the older you are. your toilet will look like a murder scene. definitely get your booty checked out BUT this is almost always perfectly normal. just eat more fiber. “but I already-” eat more fiber. and maybe suck it up and buy some hemorrhoid cream, you’ll thank me later.
yes, this means you will probably need to make an appointment for a doctor to see your butthole. it’s okay. not only do they really not care but 1. they’ve seen weirder that day and 2. they’d far rather you see them now than later when it’s been going on for forty years and now it might be colon cancer. it’s okay. consider it a rite of passage.
adults need more sleep than children. don’t believe the myth that you need less than they do. that is capitalist propaganda to make you give up more of your life to the work grind, comrade.
vitamins and medicine, something you are more likely to take as you get older, sometimes make the toilet turn weird colors. it’s okay.
if you still have your tonsils and get those little stones and get sore throats more than once a year you should plan on getting those suckers out before the tonsils cause an infection and go septic. if you’re getting stones at all you should get those reevaluated every year, especially if the stones are bigger than a needlehead (or get bigger over time). it’s gross and yucky. I don’t care. get them looked at before you end up in the hospital.
you’ll probably need to add foot support to your shoes if you don’t already do. this is fine.
your body changes. sometimes it can feel sorta weird and upsetting that it isn’t what it used to be. that is okay, and it is okay to be upset. just know that this is normal, it’s normal to be upset or not upset, but don’t let it hinder your quality of life. trans or cis, there is a certain level of acceptance you just gotta give your body and forgive your body for as you get older. it’s okay.
it’s okay. I promise.
falling asleep may get easier. like scarily easier. cross your arms and get comfy in a good chair easier
if you still have your wisdom teeth and they’re impacted, they might act up around certain points in your menstrual cycle. nobody told me this!
the lenses in your eyes begin to harden more and more as you age. go get an eye exam
you might find you have a new allergy out of nowhere. welcome to adulthood! it’s fine
a more balanced food intake will be needed to shit properly if you don’t already have issues. you’ll find yourself knowing what natural laxative foods you prefer (coffee, prune plums, aloe vera, flax, olive oil, strong black tea, canned pears etc) and it won’t be weird
back pain and sciatica are normal, but if it’s chronic, get it looked at. not chiropractors btw. i mean an actual doctor that went to a registered medical school
good comfy shoes are worth more than gold
more and more you’ll want some fuckin peace and quiet. this will inevitably rarely happen
your tastebuds will change! i find myself enjoying more bitter and rich, complex flavours like super-dark chocolate now, than at 20
posture is fake! look it up! just stand and sit in a variety of comfortable poses and move your body often. try to avoid shrimp poses though. like where you lean forward too much. they can get you so bendy that you won’t stand tall for hours.
if you look away from a topic it will feel like you’re missing something, more and more. this is fine. i don’t know who those new celebrities are either. you’ll suddenly not care one day and it will be beautiful
you’ll never stop thanking the universe that you’re not a teenager, because fuck that
hey guys jsyk the results of this poll are gonna be fucking shit if you just vote and dont rb. since it has only 3 notes LOL
[ID: the aphantasia scale. Text reads-
“Close your eyes and picture an apple in your mind. What do you see?”
The options are:
Perfectly realistic, as real as seeing
Realistic and reasonably vivid
Moderately realistic
Dim and vague
No image. I only “know” I am thinking of the apple
Drawings reflect each of these options.
Text below says “Where are you on the scale? If you’re a 5, you’re part of the 2% to 5% of the people who have aphantastia. Aphantasia is the inability to "picture” something in your mind’s eye. It doesn’t affect imagination or creativity- it’s just a different way of thinking.“]
“Don’t just throw ripped jeans away, you can repair them using these 10 cute Visible Mending techniques!!” unfortunately my friend the first point of failure for every single pair of jeans i have owned in my life has been the Crotch and Ass. Knees: fine, cuffs: fine; but 3 years in, and all that stands between the world and my astronaut-patterned taint is 0.5µm of denim worn so thin that every squat threatens to tear it to shreds like wet toilet paper. If the Tiktok craft community could figure out a way to resurrect jeans afflicted in such a way that doesn’t involve adding a whole ass buttpatch like some sort of inverse assless chaps situation then that’d be great
“Is not this a true autumn day? Just the still melancholy that I love - that makes life and nature harmonise. The birds are consulting about their migrations, the trees are putting on the hectic or the pallid hues of decay, and begin to strew the ground, that one’s very footsteps may not disturb the repose of earth and air, while they give us a scent that is a perfect anodyne to the restless spirit. Delicious autumn! My very soul is wedded to it, and if I were a bird I would fly about the earth seeking the successive autumns.”
— George Eliot, letter to Miss Lewis, Oct. 1, 1841. From George Eliot’s Life, as Related in Her Letters and Journals
Read this. Even if you hate eggs and perky diet blogs. Read through Wednesday at the very least. My bet is if you get to Wednesday, you’ll want to read the rest.
