The crazy thing is, ninety-nine times out of a hundred, if you asked me on any given day "Would like to see a picture of some genitals?" my answer would be "😰 No, that's... No, thank you. I'm okay, actually." I have nothing but the utmost respect for people who do engage with the penis side of the internet, but personally, I've spent the better part of two decades doing all I can NOT to have pictures of dick and balls or sexy bikini babe buttcheeks blasted onto my retinas constantly. And yet... to be denied the penis? To have a jumped up pile of javascript tell me, a grown adult with an air fryer and an outstanding council tax bill, that I cannot be trusted to withstand the sight of a bare nipple unless I let it scan my drivers' license? I will move heaven and earth to see that fucking nipple, friend. I will walk a thousand miles barefoot on hot coals before I give you big brother bitches my passport number. A thousand miles through the desert with five VPNs just to press my face up against the glass and see the last uncensored picture of two My Little Pony Characters sixty-nining each other, and I don't even want! to look at it! But I will! I must! for the sake of our fucking democracy!

#oh no!! #his LUNCH

his LUNCH!

he is holding on the most important thing in the world: food

who else is in the “didn’t realize sheep have long tails until i was like 20″ club

Undocked unrestrained

The reason most farmers dock (cut off) the tails is to prevent fly strike, an often lethal infection of fly larvae in the rear of the sheep. Without a (VERY FLUFFY) tail for fecal matter to accumulate on, fly strike is almost completely eliminated!

there is a wide variety of similar treatments for farm animals that are entirely for the animals well being pigs get their tail curled and tusks removed as babies so they dont accidentally nip each other while playing or stab each other just walking around- even a small tail nip might be fatal once the other pigs react to the scent of blood goats/cows often have their horns removed as babies as well both for obvious reasons to prevent stabbings but also to prevent them from growing in weird that can cause pain and infection for the animal chickens and other poultry, especially pet ones or hobby farms, might have their flight feathers clipped to prevent them from flying over fences, where their life expectancy is nill outside the farm/owners enclosure

Very good and valid points but please tell me what you mean by “might be fatal once the other pigs react to the scent of blood” before I lose my marbles

Pigs are omnivores and cannibals. Fun fact if you ever have need to dispose of a body, tossing it in a pigpen will get rid of it real fast.

There’s a reason why everyone went into a full blown panic when Dorothy fell into the pigpen in the Wizard of Oz. Pigs are vicious.

With the whole "Markiplier making his own DVD copies of Iron Lung to sell" thing, it's been fascinating and slightly concerning how many people seem to genuinely believe that if a physical release isn't coming from a giant corporation, it must automatically be a bootleg.

Look at me.

Look me directly in the eyes while I say this.

You can just make things.

You can simply create something and put it into the world.

That's allowed.

People have been doing it for centuries.

They sell blank VHS tapes. They sell blank DVDs. Blank CDs. You can buy flash drives by the bucketful if you really want to. If you create a movie, an album, a game, a documentary, or a four-hour video essay about the mating habits of fictional space goblins, you are entirely permitted to put that thing on physical media and sell it.

That is not piracy.

Piracy is taking something that belongs to someone else and reproducing or distributing it without permission.

If I buy a DVD of a movie, I own that copy of the movie. I do not own the movie itself. I didn't acquire the rights to duplicate it, press a thousand copies, and start selling them out of my garage like I've become the regional distributor for Warner Bros.

The copyright, distribution rights, and intellectual property still belong to whoever created it or whoever legally acquired those rights.

If I start burning copies of Iron Lung and selling them myself without Markiplier's permission, that's piracy.

If Markiplier, who made and owns the rights to Iron Lung, burns copies and sells them himself, that's just distribution.

He's the rights holder.

He's distributing his own work.

If you made it, if it came from your own mind, your own work, your own time, your own resources, then congratulations. You own the thing. You don't need a corporation to bless it with legitimacy.

The corporation is not what makes it real.

The fact that it exists is what makes it real.

I think we've accidentally spent so many years living inside a world dominated by mass-produced media that some people have developed the strange assumption that all media emerges from a factory somewhere. As if films naturally occur in shrink-wrapped plastic cases and descend from the heavens aboard a pallet truck.

But independent artists have been burning discs, dubbing tapes, printing books, pressing records, and mailing things directly to people for longer than many of us have been alive.

That's not a bootleg.

That's just a product.

It's not "bootleg."

It's just... leg.

The normal kind.

The original, free-range, locally sourced leg.

"what if someone regrets transitioning" if you are 18 or over in free country usa you can walk into any tattoo parlor and ask for a tattoo that will be on your body forever and ever and ever and they will give it to you with the understanding that if you dont like the result or you regret it later that's your fucking problem and not theirs

Why is it that when you are aroace people just think it’s completely within their rights to police you on what you can and cannot do.

Because it bothers them that we don't want a relationship (as aro), or that ace people don't feel the "completely normal human drive of reproduction" (I'm alosexual, but no desire for kids, so I also hear that one a lot)

It bothers them that we don't feed the Romance industry, or that we can look from outside into romantic relationships and see even more clearly the cracks and toxic things. Personally, some friends are often bothered because my reaction to them saying "[partner] did [something awful] to me! What should I do?" is to look up from my book and say "dump their ass" like it's the most obvious thing in the world. Or that when they say that their partner was inconsiderate or did something mild that bothered them, I tell them to talk about it with them instead of letting it add up to a big pile that'll avalanche in their face.

People are bothered that we're "different", that we don't have the same goals and motivations as "everyone".

Also, if someone gives you trouble for it going like "but everyone wants romance/sex!", you can just go "my mum says I'm not everyone" and walk away.

Other than that, tell them to fuck off. You're you. If you want a relationship, go for it. If you wanna "die alone surrounded by cats", also go for it (Mademoiselle Adelaide from Aristocats is life goals!)

And have fun. That's what life is about. Not surviving, but living. Doing the stuff you like and are comfortable with.

Baby otter first time in the water

kity

getting mighty fuckin sick of the Scottish water adverts telling me to shower for four minutes because water is precious BECAUSE THEN WHY ARE WE CONSIDERING BUILDING DATA CENTRES EH?? MAYBE WE START THERE INSTEAD OF ASKING ME TO WASH MY HAIR FACE AND ARSE QUICKER THAN IT TAKES MY FANNY TO DRY UP AT THE MENTION OF AI!?

I run into people on the internet who seem to assume that everyone secretly wants to live a rural life as a farmer and at a certain point I’m like okay man if you believe that so hard why aren’t you getting a degree in agriculture or something?

Or are you just staring at solar punk and cottage core drawings and yearning after a reality that will never exist

Come on bitch, get into plant biology. Study supply chains. Start shoveling cow poop. Spend all day trying to figure out what’s eating your tomatoes. Make the reality you want for yourself.

Study the science of agriculture. Spray some chemicals. Release the ladybugs. Come on now.

Ok, mas tipo. Um monte de brasileiros têm uma rivalidade puramente futebolística com a Argentina e seguem a tradição de torcer contra eles, o que pra mim não tem nada demais.

Aí, mais recentemente, nos círculos desconstruidões se difundiu mais e começou a ser tratada como uma obrigatoriedade torcer sempre para o colonizado (com certeza isso já existia antes entre certas pessoas, mas também não é nada incomum as pessoas torcerem por país europeu por uma dúzia de motivos, gostar de um jogador, ou ter uma nonna, ou ir com a cara)

Mas aí, aí aconteceu O EFEITO TUMBLR ou nesse caso mais o efeito Twitter, mas vou chamar de efeito tumblr

O EFEITO TUMBLR é que quando você começa a moralizar essas preferências irracionais, as preferências das pessoas não mudam. Elas simplesmente racionalizam moralmente suas preferências. Quer dizer, o ship que você odeia na verdade é super problemático. O personagem que você odeia é péssimo e retrógrado e má representação.

Eu realmente acredito que isso é o que acontece nas panelinhas blueskyzeiras.

Os gringos já tem outra dinâmica.

poor things, well we should definitely make this easier on them by never repeatedly mentioning their name and deeds on the "reblog things forever" website

yea that'd be a shame

by the way, just so everyone knows what not to do, shift+r reblogs a post instantly

just make sure you don't reblog anything about oceangate because that would completely undermine their entire plan 😇😇😇

You also shouldn't queue a post, that would make people keep remembering this post for a longer time, which is the opposite of forgetting

And definitely don't schedule a reblog for a few months in the future just to make sure it pops back up. Darn.
