Lantern Shield with Gauntlet and Retractable Thrusting Blade (before 1596)

The Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna

A mannerist combination weapon consisting of a round shield, an iron gauntlet, a retractable thrusting blade, and an oil lantern. The lantern could be used to dazzle an opponent during combat in low-light conditions. The object was part of the collection of Archduke Ferdinand II of Tyrol and was likely intended as a technical display piece rather than a practical battlefield weapon.

The Twilight Zone: Our episode "A Slot Machine Chases You Around Physically" was meant as a cautionary tale about the predatory nature of the gambling industry

The Gambling Industry: We've invented the slot machine that chases you around physically from The Twilight Zone episode "A Slot Machine Chases You Around Physically"

That’s a real episode, for anyone who didn’t know.

knock knock, motherfucker

just saw they added "premium features" to gmail and laughed. Very similar to the kind of joke IT guys in 2009 would make

“Why is that?”

every airport has a bar called some shit like Glick O'Gluckaglucks Irish style glory hole

And they sell $10 Coors light and $8 peanuts

Why are there just blobs of fake rubber meat that a bunch of unrelated microbes can build in the dirt but they've only ever been found in china and can't be classified any further than "biological objects"

It has probably only gotten worse since...

nowadays there's an awful lot of things just like it

Do I tell them.... or play along....

today i learned that the finnish word for ‘hazardous waste’ is ongelmajäte, which can also translate as ‘problematic garbage’ and my roommate and i immediately agreed this is a word that belongs on tumblr.

Your fave is ongelmajäte

in german it’s Sondermüll which means special trash and that too belongs on tumblr

One man’s ongelmajäte is another man’s sondermüll.

Item: bayonet violin with scope for precision ranged spells

Well. You can't say they don't take their theme seriously.

Candy Kingdom surrounded on all sides by goblins, these are truly dark times
