it's a family middle name! Winnie's dad (Atilla) is Jack's dad's brother (Kermit)

it’s kinda messed up that winnie the pooh and jack the ripper both have the same middle name

I think that Brian Murphy, the DM has stated that he is a WOT fan in other places!! in a campaign where he's a player he uses Sword Forms, but they all have excessively silly names

I have so much Wheel of Time brainrot when I hear there's a character from a different medium with the same name as a Wheel of Time character I get whiplash. Like this week I found out there's a Critical Role character named Verin

Saw so many women tonight that made me like ‼️; metal gear solid style react out of sheer queerness

they should invent an understanding and intellectualizing your feelings that makes them go away!!!

I'm about to go to sleep, but guys, halloween is tomorrow. it's tomorrow. maybe today if your time zone is different than mine.

or maybe it already happened because you might be reading this a few days in the future

or maybe you're seeing this one year in the future, and you have no idea I'm talking about a past halloween that already happened

or maybe it's christmas day, because somebody rebloged this on christmas for no reason

it might also just be November, just an insignificant day in November. statistically speaking it's a 1/12 chance you're reading this in November

I'm so excited for halloween christmas and november, I honestly like all three

loving a character so much will unlock such vulnerable and cringe parts of you that you try to suppress so bad but you can't like it's so humbling

I mean, they probably ARE both big fans of bug hunter and the narcissist coolbook, to be fair

in case you ever feel embarrassed by something you’ve done, just know that it likely cannot be as bad at the time I (a Bug Hunter fan) was at a Bug Hunter concert, and (not recognizing him) asked Mr. Bug Hunter himself, to his face, if he’d ever been to a Bug Hunter concert before. he laughed and said yes btw. and my sister, with me at the time, proceeded to not stop laughing at me for the next week. MORTIFYING.

I originally read this as "my favorite chemistry poem" and then in combo with the line breaks i was like "hell yeah, this poem rules"

I have a cold so that means it's time to post my favorite chemistry paper

Pseudoephedrine, active ingredient of Sudafed®, has long been the most popular nasal decongestant in the United States due to its effectiveness and relatively mild side effects1. In recent years it has become increasingly difficult to obtain psuedoephedine in many states because of its use as a precursor for the illegal drug N-methylamphetamine (also known under various names including crystal meth, meth, ice, etc.). While in the past many stores were able to sell pseudoephedrine, new laws in the United States have restricted sales to pharmacies, with the medicine kept behind the counter. The pharmacies require signatures and examination of government issued ID in order to purchase pseudoephedrine. Because the hours of availability of such pharmacies are often limited, it would be of great interest to have a simple synthesis of pseudoephedrine from reagents which can be more readily procured.

A quick search of several neighborhoods of the United States revealed that while pseudoephedrine is difficult to obtain, N-methylamphetamine can be procured at almost any time on short notice and in quantities sufficient for synthesis of useful amounts of the desired material. Moreover, according to government maintained statistics, N-methylmphetamine is becoming an increasingly attractive starting material for pseudoephedrine, as the availability of N-methylmphetamine has remained high while prices have dropped and purity has increased2. We present here a convenient series of transformations using reagents which can be found in most well stocked organic chemistry laboratories to produce psuedoephedrine from N-methylamphetamine.
