Holy Shit I Forgot Entrapta Is Actually A Villain.

This lamp absorbs 150 times more CO2 than a tree

It’s still in the “so crazy it just might work” stage, but these microalgae-powered lamps, invented by French biochemist Pierre Calleja, could absorb a ton of carbon from the air every year. That’s as much as 150 to 200 trees. [x]

Reblog if you think it's normal and totally okay for anyone 16 and older to watch and enjoy cartoons

I need to prove something.

How do you feed your bentacles? Do they get a part of whatever your eat or do they feast on human souls? Can you talk to your bentacles like Venom? Can you feel them digesting whoever they drag in your body? I have so many questions

Wh…what does this mean

My thoughts on the Umbrella Academy members before and after watching the show

Number One: 

Before: Oh, look! That’s Sir Percival! He is going to be the heart of the show!

After: CAN you make just ONE right decision for a change, you big monkey!?

Number Two: 

Before: He is going to be the daddy’s boy of the group, the one that stayed in the academy like a little bitch because he can’t think for himself.

After: You are doing your BEST, sweetie! I know you are troubled and you love your mom and you just want to help everybody and there’s a stuttering scared little boy inside and I love you!

Number Three:

Before: Well, aren’t you going to be bland. Probably telling everybody to do the right thing. I’m bored already.

After: Jesus, your story is DARK! But I know that you are doing your best and you want to repent your sins.

Number Four:

Before: He is played by Robert Sheehan so I’ll probably fall in love.

After: As I predicted - I am in love! I will DIE for him!

Number Five: 

Before: This is going to be the annoying kid that knows the world is ending but does’t know what to do about it, and be a nuisance during the entire show. I will probably hate him.

After: THIS is the BEST character EVER! A sarcastic little shit that thinks he’s better than everybody (and probably is) trying to save the world with pure bitterness, sarcasm and lots of coffee.

Number Six:

Before: Didn’t know he existed.

After: Weeeeee!

Number Seven:

Before: Can somebody love her!?

After: CAN somebody PLEASE love her!

j kenji lopez alt - author of the book ‘the food lab’ - he’s maybe my favorite recipe developer out there. all kinds of food and hes super knowledgeable

I’m not sure whether I should laugh or cry.

Is OP aware that oh so many books exist on this subject?

And that almost universally the ones authored by people with doctorates in classicism and mythology disagree with OP?

Including the… epic hymn that first told this story? You know what’s in that original source material… right?

Abducted, yes. Demeter mourned? Definitely. Rape, no.

So here’s some info on Ancient Greek wedding traditions which (oh my stars and garters!!) included abducting the bride. With the father’s permission, which Hades got before he took her away.

Here’s a whole book on the subject of Ancient Greek wedding custom and its conflation with funeral rites. (Which sounds a bit like Hades and Persephone to anyone who’s ever dabbled in things like explication and context)

Here’s a link to another book that talks about Persephone’s rise to power as a result of her willingly eating the pomegranate seeds.

Oh shit!!

Here’s a whole bunch of myths and hymns that talk about her Queen of the Underworld badassery!!

Holy pug tacos Batman!!

Here’s another book about the myth focusing on the seasonal religious and liminal rites. WHICH TAKE PLACE IN THE DRY SUMMER (not the fucking winter), which you know if you read a book.Way to go, OP!

All these fucking books!  What could anyone possibly do with them all?!?!?!?! Do you eat books to absorb their powers instead of read them?

A better guess would be that you got into a moral panic over the name of a certain Renaissance statue and maybe after reading three pages of Edith Hamilton or the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article. And then used that to castigate and demean not only the people who actually take their limited time to create gorgeous art but also to denigrate modern day worshippers of Persephone and Hades?

Maybe next time, you stringy piece of over-boiled okra, you might want to take your own advice and pick up a book, instead of reducing the feared and respected Queen of the Underworld who held power equal to or in many interpretations GREATER than her husband into a meaningless pastiche of female disenfranchisement that you seemingly plucked from your own ass.
