I love machines, I love wires and computer monitors, and I absolutely adore all of it. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy inside. idk why. I just wanna sleep on a bed of wires while cuddling a lukewarm computer monitor while listening to cooling fans as i fall asleep.... is that weird of me

VERY IMPORTANT a dam in the Netherlands, the weerdsluis lock, is directly on a migratory path for spawning fish. They have a worker stationed there to open the door for the fish, but they can take a while to open it. So to keep the fish from getting preyed on by birds they installed a doorbell. Only, the fish don't have hands to ring the doorbell. If you go to their website, they have a LIVE CAMERA AND A DOORBELL that YOU RING FOR THE FISH when they're waiting, and then the dam worker opens the door for them! I can't express how obsessed I am with this. look at this shit. oh my god.

Please check on the fish doorbell once in a while :)

unsurprisingly twitter is having a field day in the replies to this, so let me put my responses here too apparently there is somewhere where it IS mentioned what happened but i either havent found in over 150 hours of playtime or it was mentioned so on the side i forgot somehow, the answer supposedly is: "they dismantled it bc they were afraid of it being taken over again"

but zonau tech is fine??? its also ancient tech, even MORE advanced and of unknown origins, but they arent afraid of that?? what??

if the sheikah stuff broke down anyway, why pulverize it too? how would you even do that to a barely understood nigh indestructible ancient tech that lasted for 10 000+ years?? wouldnt you want to preserve it even just out of respect for your history?? like idk remove the the core but keep at least the shell as a way to memorialize it if you were that afraid of it (again shouldnt you be even more scared of zonau tech then?? lucky you ganondorf doesnt care about any of it this time around i guess even tho he did in botw lol)

the shrine of life, the thing capable of bringing people back from near death and is the only reason link survived, sure seems like that should be completely scraped of the walls, how could that building ever be useful again lmao

ganon was gone, completely gone for all they knew, why still destroy everything that also helped fight it the option of it all crumbling to dust immediately after 'serving its purpose' is the most unsatisfying answer to it ever, lol i guess it just disappeared, lmao, rofl, löls, fuck me for caring i guess

having it broken and overgrown lying about would have done no harm, being just part of the map for new players and still make old players happy (also looking cool)

((added in edit) someone also said 'you literally find the helmets of the titans??' like those werent amiibo stuff, just like the 5+ sets of vaguely different link outfits cluttering my inventory, also yeah sure if it wasnt amiibo stuff, sure sure get the head of the titans off and shrink it i guess and also hide it in old ass zonau structure??? they are just like all of the rest of the amiibo/botw-DLC stuff that got crammend into totk and tbh should probably be disregarded as funney referencé, bc otherwise it wouldnt only mess everything up even more)

big part of why im so annoyed about totk is …. you HAD an ancient, still super mysterious, group of people with advanced tech you barely understood!! and then you introduce an even MORE ancient ppl, with MORE advanced tech you rly never heard of before .. also with shrines. . . and mc guffins to hunt down in each region by the same people and also they were here before everything else, both in sky and underground even tho there barely was ever a hint for it

even if you wanted people only to care about your new cool zonau guys, there would have been no harm in just having the stuff lie around broken+overgrown, for new players its just there or even a motivation to go get botw too (money???), and old players would still be happy with it?? i just dont get it

calling totk a direct sequel really just feels like its doing itself a disservice bc if you just wanted to reuse the map and models but not build on anything the first title established then do it and call it an alternate universe or something :(

au where Aang gets told he's the Avatar (and subsequently frozen) at 16 like he was supposed to.... I think it would change a lot honestly

[gibbearish]

love when ppl defend the aggressive monetization of the internet with "what, do you just expect it to be free and them not make a profit???" like. yeah that would be really nice actually i would love that:)! thanks for asking

dipper is a weirdly special kind of character to me because I was that type of kid, the one who wanted to grow up too fast and got irritated at their sibling not taking things too seriously and never wanting to seem childlike. i connected heavily with him, and honestly the entire arc of Gravity Falls being in part about him learning to just be a kid really helped me in the long run. it was a great wake up call seeing a character so similar to me at that age learn to finally stop trying to be an adult before i was ready.

Guys I don't think this kindly stranger is all that nice But yeah, if Medic confessed about stealing their souls in the next pages I don't think anyone would really care

We are well beyond canary in the coalmine warning levels with the way trans people and particularly trans women are treated on this site.

Maybe you've heard the metaphor of allowing wolves and sheep to share the same space, welcoming everyone. You end up with just wolves because allowing them in that space makes it unsafe for any sheep. Or the story about how a nazi goes into a dive bar and is refused service. The bartender then explains to someone else at the bar that if you serve them once they tell their friends and before you know it you're the nazi bar they all go to and normal customers don't feel safe.

Terfs and other bigots are seeing these targeted harassment campaigns succeed against trans women and rejoicing. They see Tumblr ban them and officially stand by those decisions as endorsement for their harassment. It's a sign to bigots across the internet that Tumblr is a good place for them.

And what's more is that a lot of us probably don't realize just how much trans women contribute to Tumblr. The women banned recently were sources of site-wide memes and posts I wasn't even aware originated from them.any years old memes and references can be traced back to trans women on this site.

How many of these folks have to be removed before this is no longer a site you want to be a part of it? Sure you cultivate your own experience, but you can't follow or interact with people who aren't here. And if I wanted to interact with the nazis and terfs I'd go to reddit.

I encourage everyone to reblog this. Trans women shouldn't have to be the only ones speaking out against the bigotry they're experiencing. They shouldn't be the only ones risking their blogs being nuked by staff. We have to stand with them.

we have to stop letting the usa have such control/influence over international politics

"I just dont understand how a person with different political views can get hired by someone with a different political view!"

I think the term you are looking for is "professionalism" which you, for some reason, could not comprehend.

was talking with a friend about how some of dunmeshi fаndom misunderstands kabru's initial feelings towards laios.

to sum up kabru's situation via a self-contained modernized metaphor:

kabru is like a guy who lost his entire family in a highly traumatic car accident. years later he joins a discord server and takes note of laios, another server member who seems interesting, so they start chatting. then laios reveals his special interest and favorite movie of all time is David Cronenberg's Crash (1996), and invites kabru to go watch a demolition derby with him
