Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I’ll practise basic self care
Why 666k? Because it’s funny and impossible so good fucking luck
Well, OP, I’m officially invested in this shit. Your whiny ass is doing self care if I have to drive to your goddamn house and do it for you.
By Talos this can’t be happening
reblog this everyone i wanna see what happens when op’s reverse-hubris forces them to practice basic self care.
why? because it’s funny and completely possible actually so good fucking luck op
I figured out roughly how many notes it’s been getting per day and multiplied that by the number of days left until the end of 2023
If we keep it going at this rate we’ll be far past 666k
IMPORTANT
Okay so clearly I’ve underestimated y'all
So how about we make this more interesting?
I will practise self care if this post reaches 666kBY THE END OF 2022
Op you have fuckethed with the devil this post has gained 30,000 notes since I reblogged it last night
Reblog to throw a hedge apple in OP’s driveway
What the fuck is this eldritch fruit? I’m in.
It’s Maclura pomifera, commonly known as the osage orange or hedge apple. It is known to be native only to a small area of Texas and the edge of Oklahoma and Arkansas. Before the invention of barbed wire, it was pruned repeatedly and shaped to make dense impenetrable hedges to contain animals.
The fruits are inedible—not poison, they’re just hard and taste bad.
The wood is super-strong, burns hotter than any other wood, and is ideal for making bows!
We should just fill this post with other interesting things as reasons to reblog it
Actually I like this idea, we should do that. Here’s my fun fact contribution; actual old English, what one could call Anglo-Saxon (as opposed to, for example, Shakespearean English, which a lot of people call old English but is actually antiquated modern English), is a Germanic language, and modern English shares a lot of roots with German because of that. It was also, at one point, written with runes.
The hagfish is a deep-sea fish speculated to be related to lamprey. It exudes a strange goo that is believed to be used to clog the gills of attackers. This goo has been found to be a very good substitute for egg whites in cooking.
Blood can be substituted for egg in general in some recipes!
I have some very evil meringue ideas
Did you know that corsets actually aren’t as harmful as they’re advertised to be? Women wore cloth under their corsets so it wouldn’t imprint on their skin, and they don’t cause any bone fractures nor injury - in fact, corsets are highly beneficial for posture and support the breasts. They’re also tailored to the person so that they’re never too tight or loose. The idea that corsets were patriarchal tools to force women’s waists tighter is completely untrue. Arguably, one may even say that corsets were advertised as harmful simply because of sexism - women were gaining too much independence over the fashion industry and certain influential men weren’t very happy about it.
Take care of yourself, b/tch.
I’ve heard that corsets are actually better than bras for your back if you’re well endowed.
Witch’s broom is a kind of plant deformity that occurs in various woody plants, like trees. It has a few different causes: disease, fungal infection, and the horror that is dwarf mistletoe. It causes branches to grow in tangled balls of twigs, instead of the normal branchy shape.
Here’s an example.
Now, the cool thing is that you can graft a some kinds of witch’s broom onto other trees, and it’ll corrupt them as well. The new trees start growing more broom. Some people exploit this to grow pretty little dwarf conifers.
The “cool thing” is like a horror movie for trees
The classic game “shoots and ladders” or “snakes and ladders” originally was from India and called “Moksha Patam” and it was also used to talk about sins and virtues. The game dates back to the 2nd century. The game went to the uk in the 1800s as snakes and ladders and later became shutes and ladders.
A group of wild Rabbits are called a Fluffle. A Warren is were the Fluffle lives. However, another common name for Fluffle is Colony. But I think we all can agree a Fluffle is MUCH better.
The first Wile E Coyote and Roadrunner cartoon, Fast and Furry-ous (which sounds like a modern pop culture joke but it was released in 1949) was actually intended to be both a one-shot in which neither character would become recurring, and a parody of chase cartoons in which the Coyote is mostly defeated by the forces of nature rather than his opponent. Audiences loved it and although it took a couple of years, the duo soon became one of the most popular Looney Tunes series.
Wile E’s second appearance in film, however, was actually not with the Road Runner, but with Bugs Bunny in 1952’s Operation: Rabbit. This is one where Wile E’s alternate persona of a Frasier Crane-esque erudite snob originated, as well as the name Wile E Coyote itself.
Another potential wrinkle in all this is Ralph Wolf (described by creator Chuck Jones as “the red-nosed version of the coyote”) who appears in the series opposite Sam Sheepdog in which predator and defender are punch clock adversaries whose personal enmity is nonexistent outside working hours. Although it’s unlikely that they were actually meant to be the same character, the design similarity is something that needs to explored in a future Looney Tunes series because to my knowledge Wile E and Ralph have never appeared together in anything.
