I took my second ADHD pill a little too late I guess because it was suddenly 4 am and I made this thing about why parasitic organisms are shaped like ways and how to consider that for your fiction settings. Raw text version below the cut for people with busted seeing:

Anyone but me old enough to remember when it was the Shirley Temple VHS collection?

And that we used to call them 'tapes' and not 'VHS?'

Hey y’all especially those in swing states, eyes up:

The elongated muskrat has engaged in blatant election interference by putting out a fake voter registration page on Google ads with the clear intention to dupe voters into thinking they have actually registered to vote. It’s likely also a data harvesting tactic.

Hopefully this gets immediately flagged and taken down but we all know this fascist chucklefuck will not see consequences to his actions and this is something that would drag out in court. Spread the word. Only register to vote through state board or check vote.org for more resources. Do not register through anything else ESPECIALLY if it has some sort of clear motivation.

I know what my friends are getting for Halloween!

ALSO ON STORENVY HERE

ONCE UPON A DARK TIME IN THE TERROR AGES SOME MORON SCARED THE WORLD TO DEATH (GEE THANKS PAL!!!!!!!) BY WRITING A STORY CALLED "THE DAY OF ALL THE BLOOD." THE STORY WAS SO DARK AND GROSS THAT ANYONE WHO READ IT GOT SCARED IN REAL LIFE ALSO.

NOW MANY CENTURIES LATER THE SAME TWISTEFIED AUTHOR IS PUTTING THE STORY IN REAL PAPER YOU CAN TOUCH ALTHOUGH THE STORY IS STILL FAKE (………OR IS IT…………..) ALONG WITH SEVERAL OF THE ORIGINAL RELATED STORIES AND A BUNCH OF BRAND NEW ONES TOO SCARY TO PUT ON THE INTERNET!! ALSo the new stories aren't entirely in caps lock anymore because that got old if they were LOUDER you would get scared so hard you would quite possibly die to death for all time. This small thin paperback prints and ships in time to ruin thanksgiving or maybe christmas!!!!!!!

BRAND NEW STORIES INCLUDE:

THE MOST MURDERED GIRL IN THE WORLD: One day a girl did not listen to her mother, and got murdered by all the murderers in the world at once. The power of almost 100 murders at once transformed her forever…but into what!? The clue is in the title, but you'll never guess. heh heh heh.

THE TRUEST CRIME: one day there was a crime so terrible you will not be able to read what the bad guy did without throwing up your guts at how evil it was. Let's just say it sends 100 MILLION BABIES to prison…and that's only the beginning………

THE BODYLESS DOG: what happens when a dog gets its body cut off and doesn't die!? Well he isn't happy about it I can tell you that much.

VAMPIRE HANDS: this story is about YOU and the time your hands turned into the hands of a vampire. Maybe you think having to keep your hands in tiny coffins all day long doesn't sound so bad but that is only one of the more than one things you have to do when you have vampire hands!!!!!!

THE INVISIBLEST KNIFE: in this story you accidentally kill everyone and everything you care about and even ruin a hot dog completely. Don't worry! There's no such thing as the invisiblest knife! I am looking around right now and I don't see it anywhere. Do you??

WHEN ALL THE STEEL TURNED INTO WORMS (and it was not my fault!!!) this is one of the LONGEST stories (more than two pages!) in the book and is about when one day all the steel in the world became worms that were scared of humans so if you even looked at a car it would fall apart from all the worms running away into the dirt. Again these are descriptions and not the whole stories so this is just one of the things that happens!

THE DAY IT RAINED THE HEADS FROM SPACE: what happens when a really sharp human space probe meets a planet where everyone is the same exact height and always stands in a line on a perfectly flat plane?!?!?!?!?!!?!!?? Well they aren't happy about it I can tell you that much.

THE DOG THAT WAS TOO LONG: you like dogs, do you??? Well sometimes wishes come true but sometimes…sometimes wishes suck and were stupid to make actually. Fool.

THE WEIRD GUY: don't worry, there's no such thing as a weird guy, and if there was, it would not turn out to have been you all along! Pretend you didn't read this massive spoiler.

THE GHOST'S GHOSTS: everyone knows a ghost is twice as scary as a regular person, but what about a ghost's ghost? Obviously that would be twice as scary as a regular ghost. A twisted tale of how the human race is exterminated several hundred times in a row.

DARKNESS MOM: the worst most awful most disgusting scariest monster in the WORLD!! You will TERRIFIED to read about this mom who is TOO TALL and has a GROSS TOO LONG TONGUE and SHARP MONSTER HANDS and if she GETS YOU she will make you be IN TROUBLE all the time for like NO reason!!! NOOOO!!!!!!

THE THINGS THAT DID THE WRONG THINGS: you better not read this secret government list of things that do the wrong stuff!! The secret guys will catch you and you'll have to go to secret jail so you don't go telling everyone about anomanolies such as THE WORST TURTLE (three words, FOOL: spikes on it) or THE CLOCK THAT TELLS TIM (tim is alright though this is not his fault)

THE HALF MURDERER: what if a normal person and a murderer had a baby? It's more likely than you think! Or shall we say…half more likely���mwa ha ha ha

THE REVENGE OF THE DAY OF ALL THE BLOOD: THE LONG FEARED SEQUEL (WARNING: this one is in capitol letters again, it is PULLING NO PUNCHES!)

…………AND MAYBE SOME MORE IF I FEEL LIKE IT! *actually some more are already in it I just might add a couple more than that even

Dagon was essentially Lovecraft 's Cthulhu prototype. The Duel to his Jaws, if you will.

So Dagon's whole thing is being this god of the ocean sort of figure, right? So you look at Dagon and you think "Okay, so he's like the Aquaman of the Old Ones."

Except Cthulhu is the main Old One, and he's also themed around the ocean. It's like when Superman beat the Flash in a race. Fuck Dagon, I guess

'Forty Arguing Bats' will be the title of my next book and concept album.

They found that the bat noises are not just random, as previously thought, reports Skibba. They were able to classify 60 percent of the calls into four categories. One of the call types indicates the bats are arguing about food. Another indicates a dispute about their positions within the sleeping cluster. A third call is reserved for males making unwanted mating advances and the fourth happens when a bat argues with another bat sitting too close. In fact, the bats make slightly different versions of the calls when speaking to different individuals within the group, similar to a human using a different tone of voice when talking to different people. Skibba points out that besides humans, only dolphins and a handful of other species are known to address individuals rather than making broad communication sounds. The research appears in the journal Scientific Reports.

Snakes getting more positive representation is always good in my book. Plus, he looks like a good noodle boi 🐍

#SnakeAppreciation

they're rebooting the pre-K show Wonderpets and decided one of the three main characters should be a snake this time. That's great honestly, little kids should be taught that snakes are just another animal and can be a cute animal. Hatred of them is already much rarer than when I was a kid myself. If only they'd made another of the three a tarantula or a hissing cockroach but baby steps I guess.

As I always say: unless there's an ocean between me and where I'm going, I ain't taking a plane.

wild boars are so cool and badass just look at those things. why does nobody seem to take them seriously theyre up there with bears and wolves in terms of being so strong and hairy and awesome. AND theyre omnivores? wow. the talent. the range. we could learn a lot from them I think

Even outside the movement, the art style for most cartoons of the 90's and early 2000's was very unique. You could never mistake the Eds for Invader Zim or Dexter for Rocko, everything has thee individual stamp of a distinct artist on it.

It's why I wish most of these artists would go into comics or still drawings, I miss seeing unique styles like this and I would love to see what Antonucci could do with more adult-oriented content, as he did before Ed Edd N Eddy.

I wonder what his equivalent of Jhonen Vasquez 's pre-Zim work would look like.

I sometimes refer to be people by their last names, but never both. Typically I call people I'm close to nicknames (this is a New Yorker thing).

The only time I wear any clothes to sleep is if I pass out on the couch and forget to take them off/I sleep in the car for whatever reason.

I hate deviled eggs.

I always despised Peanut Butter and Jelly, so much so that I intentionally threw them up at school if I had to have them or threw them out. But yes, Bogs is right. They're popular because they're cheap.

The only time you climb in through somebody's window is if you're a kid/teen and you're sneaking into a friend's house without their parents knowing. It may not be as common as it was when I was growing up (2000's).

Me and my friends sat on the roof through my teens and twenties, yes. Workaholics popularized it and it may have died with that show.

I'm lactose but I know people who drink milk with dinner.

I've bought non-dairy ice cream and eaten it myself because I'm an adult and just felt like it.

Never heard Pooch outside of cartoons.

I like a turkey loaf on occasion, but meatloaf is a stock "disgusting and antiquated" food item for a reason.

I say some variant on goodbye, yes.

Tiny televisions are a thing of the 80's/90's, as far as I can tell. My grandparents have always had a television in the kitchen and dining room but they were always regular-sized ones.

Yes.

So yeah MSN posted this overly long clickbait compilation of tweets from across the last ten years(?!) in which someone from another country isn't sure if something from American media is real or not and they all have tons of notes on them indicating that these really are points of confusion. So many of them fascinate me???

I don't even know what this one means. No you wouldn't do that in casual conversation. I do not know where this is being done inappropriately in enough media to raise this question.

Where in the world do people always sleep in all of their clothes. Or do they mean pajamas? In that case, where in the world are pajamas still a thing.

I cannot think of a single film or television show I've ever seen that depicted a deviled egg.

Because it's the cheapest and most filling staple that almost everyone actually likes. Why doesn't your country have it, that's weird

This does not happen in real life, no.

No, this one is a movie trend we also think is weird.

My father is the only person I have ever seen drinking milk with dinner and we all poked fun at him for it. I have never seen it in a piece of media. My theory is that there may be like five or six movies in which this is depicted and those are the only movies this guy ever saw.

Why waste a bowl whether you're sad or otherwise? It's your ice cream. Also, one tub is one serving, duh.

I have personally never seen a movie or television show in which someone just called their dog "pooch"

Meatloaf is in fact considered a more obscure and divisive dinner in modern America. I love it but we think of it as like a weird grandma dinner since the 50's.

No that would be weird and rude.

I have never seen etc.

I only just learned because of this tweet that this actually is not a standard anymore since around 20 years ago

Paranormalists John A. Keel, J. Allen Hynek, Jacques Vallee and Mac Tonnies all believed that UFOs and other paranormal phenomenon were the result of another intelligent species native to earth.

Turns out, we didn't even have to stretch that far.

Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.

You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?

So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?

So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?
