thinking about my optometrist who was treating my eye infection and said “if it hurts, you can rinse your eye with boiled water. look at me - look at me. i want you to understand that i mean water that has been boiled and has since cooled down. not boiling water. do you understand?” like i’m so grateful for this man ensuring that I wouldn’t destroy my eyes by pouring boiling water in it, because it is an adequate assessment of my intelligence
“doctor bashir do you have any evidence that garak is telling us the truth” “oh well commander you know how he is, the old ball and chain, am i right” “no i don’t nobody does”
I’m a big fan of the “fuck you, Cardassians have tails now” trope to come from the DS9 crowd. Enlightened.
But why? Why the fuck do they suddenly have tails? They aren’t reptiles. No where in TNG or DS9 is it said they are reptiles or used to have tails. Or that they have tails and are chopped off for whatever reason. Why the fuck do people think they have tails or should have tails? Is it some weird ass furry crap infringing on Trek lore or what?
F U CK ING FURRIES INFRINGING ON SACRED TRE K LORE B Y DRAWING CARDASSIAN TAILS IS THE FUNNIEST FUCKING THING
I mean look in terms of character design I think it actually makes sense beyond trolling. Stepping away from anthromorphising aliens in star trek is good because “human aliens everywhere” is one of the ways star trek feels less embedded in it’s universe.
Are you alive
Don’t ask me no personal shit like this
my brain, interrupting my daydream: this is poorly researched and the narrative is not compelling
Hot wedding idea, the worst man, it’s his duty to try and prevent the wedding at all costs.
The mystery of icon-preserving bees
For a decade, a beekeeper near Athens, has kept a tradition: every spring, he slips icons of Christ, the Holy Virgin and different saints in his beehives, in order to bless his bees and his yearly honey production. And every year, the very same mysterious phenomenon occurs: bees make their honeycomb cells around the pious images, meticulously avoiding covering them.
If you’re not ready to fight an alligator over your best friend dont even think about coming to Florida
Florida culture is living in a real life Jurassic park yet being more scared of the local people
Hopefully this doesn’t burst anybody’s bubbles, but the video’s fake (https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/did-man-save-friend-from-reptilian-attack/)
Now, by fake I mean: the alligator wasn’t real, it was put there as a prank by some Youtubers, to record people’s reactions. So the guy a) survived, and b) reacted as he would (AKA: fought a fucking alligator to save his friend) had it been real, because neither of them knew it wasn’t.
To quote Snopes: It appears that the “elbow drop” move was actually a real, good-faith, and quite courageous response to an uncomfortably realistic and relatively low-effort prank
Ok but like…. that still doesn’t change the fact that this absolute legend genuinely thought an alligator was about to eat his friend and he ELBOW DROPPED the fucking thing to save him!!!! That’s some true ass friendship right there
No people or animals got hurt, guy got to try and elbow drop an alligator, and his friend got to find out just how ride or die his friend is. As far as I’m concerned this makes the whole thing better.
