So Many Creatures Putting SO Much Effort Into Putting Special Fluids That TOTALLY Arent Water Through

so many creatures putting SO much effort into putting ‘special’ fluids that TOTALLY aren’t water through every organ possible to clean them so they can use them again 2 seconds later. like why not simply sit on a damp substrate and pull water through your body by evaporating the extra out pores in your leaves lmaoooo

Shoutout to all my fellow ppl who see themselves as being simultaneously a boy and a girl. People who often wear clothes traditionally associated with their agab, or who don’t feel extreme dysphoria towards their body. People whose gender issues stem from within, and from knowing that they can’t just metamorphosise on a whim. People who’re a multiplicity in of themselves. People who’ve never known a life of gender singularity. People who’ve always been this way, people who’ve never known different. People who live exactly how they are, as confusing and conflicting as it may be sometimes. People whose friends and family would be beyond shocked and surprised if they told them they weren’t cis. People who love being this way. People who love having their own unique version of the masculine and feminine experiences, who use contradictory sets of pronouns. People who don’t really know if they can call themselves trans, but definitely aren’t cis, and altogether definitely don’t really care. People who are boys and girls and men and women and both and neither all at the same time. I love you. We’re the coolest. <3

why the fuck is it called the xbox 360 what does 360 mean???????????????????

xkcd — How Water Filtration Works

I used to love drawing stuff like this as a kid! I even got a stencil from a garage sale that had all kinds of labware shapes in it.

Lies, fake news I say

I just... I was trying to sleep, ok? And I am back at my parents' for the summer and the place has just been hit by a pretty heavy summer storm, so the power is a bit touch-and-go (it blinks out from time to time), and.

Like

I was trying to sleep when I was yanked awake by a series of mechanical sounds along the lines of:

```CLUNK```

- beep!!

```BAAAAAAAAAAAAA, ska-KLANK!```

- Boop👍

And for a moment I was like, WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT, but then I remembered that Dad installed a "continuity group" (that is, a battery that sits between the wall socket and the modem/router to make sure that the power fluctuating doesn't knock out our wi-fi) and an auto resetting braker (that, when tripped, tries to fix itself three times, then gives up).

And like,

Did I just witness a discussion between them????

The power went down for a split second -> the braker tripped -> the battery yelled "oi! Power's down over here! -> the breaker went, "my bad, lemme fix it" -> the battery booped in satisfaction, then turned off.

And like, I knkw that's not what happened, and they were just working indipendently. But it's so stupid, I feel oddly sentimental about this?? Like, it's machines working and all that, but that's beautiful in its own right! No?
