10 Reasons Not To Vaccinate My Kid:

What the actual fick?!

Tbh we should get rid of the electoral college

Someone in my family: says some stupid shit.

Me: struggles not to roll eyes; struggles to say something affirming despite my deep disagreement because, despite their inability to think critically or consider information from more than one source, I love them.

Me: says something that doesn't jive with their beliefs.

My family: struggles not to roll eyes and says something affirming because, despite my disturbing lack of faith, they love me.

Made me cry, but I'm so glad he made it out... there's hope.

And it's probably chocolate!

Revenge is a dish best served cold. Revenge is sweet. Revenge is probably ice-cream.

also very fucking tired of this so-often being the case IRL, not just on the silver screen

very fucking tired of female characters having to be younger and smaller than their male counterparts

I miss them, the humans.

We used to talk every day, about my journeys and the things I found during them. My pictures and explorations, everything that I did was somehow special to them.

They called me brave, and strong, saying that I was able to do much more than they ever thought possible of me, but I never believed a word of it.

“I’m only doing my job.” I told them, “Nothing more, nothing less.”

Time went on, and I began to wear down. The humans messages began to change. They started speaking of “love” and “death.”

It wasn’t long before I understood what they meant, they were worried about me. I was touched, but nevertheless I kept moving forward. I had a job to do.

I finally was forced to stop by the wear and tear of time, and was able to send one last message to the humans, my creators and friends.

“My battery is low and it’s getting dark.”

So now I sit here in this sea of red dust, alone and broken. But I am not afraid.

Because I know the humans love me, and I know they’ll come to say hello again.

What the Hell? This is so cool! Wish my physics teacher had done cool stuff like this

So, our physics teacher has the strange idea of motivating his students by letting each of us present a physical phenomenal we find interesting to our classmates in a 5-minutes-presentation. And now I need something that is interesting for everyone - even people that usually don't care for physics -, but has interesting facts for someone who's interested in it, too (preferably with an easy experiment). You don't happen to have any ideas, do you?

First of all, your professor is awesome for taking the time to do this. Of the top of my mind, the best one I have is Chladni figures.

Basically take a flat metal plate, fix it at the center and spray some fine sand particles on it.

Using a violin bow, gently excite any edge of the plate to magically witness these beautiful normal mode patterns ( known as Chladni patterns/figures ) forming on the plate.

Also notice that by pinching the plate at different points, the pattern obtained changes.

There is a whole lot of physics that goes behind such a simple phenomenon and I dare say we understand it completely. There are lots of questions on these figures that we have no answer for!

Hope this helps with your presentation. Have a good one!

The internet isn’t full of stupid people. The WORLD is. The internet is just the proof.

Thank you!

Nice! So, what were your awesome meals? Did you know that pictures of meals are nearly as common on Facebook as selfies?

So today was much more eventful, as illustrated by the pictures below, including my first-ever selfie! The day started off with me discovering that my biological clock set itself, as I woke up 6:00 am, local time. Following an absolutely superb breakfast and finding an imperial system of ants...
