Reblogging to add to my collection of weird French stuff

Do y’all know about Frédéric Thomas? He is a French parasitologist who heard a story about crickets in New Zealand leaping into the water even though they can’t swim, and immediately speculated this suicidal behavior was related to behavior manipulation from an internal parasite. This is before neuro-parasitology was a field at all, and before people really put much stock into parasite’s ability to control animal behavior.

Thomas was certain that studying these crickets would be a huge priority for the scientific world given the implications of a parasite controlling an animal’s actions in such an insidious way. Unfortunately, absolutely nobody would fund Thomas’ expedition to study the crickets, and his grants were all declined. In a wild move that showcases the balls to the wall, near- insanity level passion of a biologist, Thomas declared a hunger strike and wrote a letter to the president of France saying he would not eat until someone took the matter seriously and funded his study on the suicidal crickets. I feel like those of us in research can at least a little bit understand this impulse.

Well the French government actually got Thomas’ message and freaked out a bit at the negative publicity that could arise from a crazy worm scientist starving to death. So they send some government bigwigs to the university to pressure Thomas and his department heads into calling an end to the hunger strike. In the flurry of attention that resulted from this, a Swiss billionaire heard about Thomas’ plight and offered to partially fund the study. The French government was happy to get rid of Thomas and contributed funding as well so that Thomas could head to New Zealand to study his suicidal crickets. He was right about the parasites causing the behavior!

The hunger strike debacle is not even the wildest part of this story. I love biology so much

If I think for more than five minutes about how much Esteban loved his team I'll go insane. 'Allez Alpine. Allez les bleus' when he crossed the finish line to secure that fucking team their first and only win; their best result to date. He was the only driver to introduce himself to all the staff at the factory. He was finishing p19/p20 for the first few races of this season and he never complained he never said a word against them instead praising and encouraging them all. Last year in Silverstone he wore a special helmet to celebrate the team; it had the names of all the staff at Alpine working on the car in both Viry and Enstone. He was going to see all those people in person the week after the race at the factories to say goodbye to them personally. He was going to wear a helmet celebrating everything they achieved together. 'Merci. Thank you' yeah I'm going insane again.

#he was so proud to race for a french team he fucking loved everyone there and they clearly loved him. and #and now he cant even thank them in person or say goodbye properly. fuck alpine.#f1 #esteban ocon #alpine

je n'ai pas peur, je suis née pour faire ça

#fate grand order #jeanne d'arc #jeanne alter #jalter #fgo #fanart #i will always support a vegenful joan darc even if the real historical figure was very much accepting of her fate #although one just wonders if she was really. idk i think about joan darc a bit too often compared to the normal person #it disappointed me that in fate jeanne alter is just an oc with jeannes name instead of being like #a manifestation of jeannes anger and betrayal (which are completely justified given the circumstances)#anyways #the caption means “i am not afraid; i was born to do this” in shitty french probably

challengers twitter pointed out something very cool: art's coach speaking to him in german!

the subs says "just invite her to serve." (which doesn't make any sense? and art doesn't even go to her after that lmao?) but he apparently actually says "wirf den ball etwas höher." which means "throw the ball a little higher.".

so art knows what patrick's house looks like which means he went there, he understands when his coach speaks to him in german and he's the only one who can pronounce "zweig", a german surname, the right way.

art learning german for patrick and spending holidays with him and his family is canon, i don't make the rules.
