How do flat earthers think water works?
Like, let's believe them/follow their hypothesis for a second.
The Earth is flat. On land, we typically can't see for more than a mile or two because of how dynamic the surface of the land is with plattes, torsion, glacial deposits, erosion, etc. (Geologists, forgive me)
On water, the furthest you can see around you is 2.9 miles, despite the fact that water follows gravity in every other dynamic, being a fluid.
And you can see the moon, planets with reflectivity, and the stars and the sun for being more than that in miles away.
So, it's not your eyes or light that prevents you from seeing that far on the ocean.
So the earth is flat, your eyes absorb light from millions and billions of miles away, and you can't see more than 2.9 miles away from you on the ocean, in calm sunny seas.
You cannot see any land mass from even beyond the halfway mark across the Atlantic Ocean, the furthest you can see them is from 2.9 miles away, in calm, sunny seas.
How do the flat earthers think that works?
Do they think that water has hills beyond waves? How would glasses even get filled in such a world? How would your aquariums work?

@ USAmericans that are following me, if you (like me) get anxious you'll somehow have issues with a mail-in or drop-off ballot: I forgot that in a lot of places (here's a site to check!) early in-person voting is an option, so I figured maybe you did too!
Lines are MUCH shorter than election day,
which means it's quick and you have more time to look things up at the voting booth if necessary,
and you have a LOT more ability to find a time that works for you than if you just vote on Nov. 5th (which I would be have been almost completely unable to go out and vote on).
Early voting y'all it kicks ass. A quick google of "early voting (my city/county" immediately brought up the exact address, days and hours of where it was available. Will definitely patronize the fine folks at my local polling center again in four years assuming that. Things go well. And we still have a democracy in four years. OTL
#USpol#US pol#LOVE poll workers love the extremely clear signage at my polling place and the people positioned every fifteen feet or so#whose whole job is to nod at me and go 'yup you're in the right place go right around that corner and see the first open person at the desk#nothing assuages my 'I'm going to mess up this important process and go to jail probably' anxieties#like having someone give me clear directions and instructions every step of the way. bless.#anyway I was scheduled to work a 12-hour night shift on either side of election day because that's how my schedule works#and by hell or high water I was going to make it out to vote anyway but like MAN it's a relief to be able to go in person but not uhhh#at the cost of coming back to work wildly sleep deprived. LOVE that shorter line A+ process.#Anyway I don't often make posts about real life around here but I did fully forget this was an option so I thought I would shout it out!

Something something cerebrocrustacean headcanons, yada yada Dr Psychobos is not immune to the in-group bias
He's doing the one thing Azmuth did not do, viewing Malware as a son with special needs Dr Psychobos is fully willing to support :P
#dr psychobos#malware#malware ben 10#ben 10#fanart#first time drawing either potentially last :P beep can't say whether that's true or not#between responding to the original ask and completing this i remembered that khyber had that one dream of being praised by the tennysons#so i think not only does dr psychobos welcome in a troubled child (who's probably so unused to affection he takes it like a cat to water)#but would also be complimenting khyber's work and the 'greatest huntsman in the galaxy' gets to have appreciation#and being a such a 'tough guy' probably has to hide how much he really likes being recognised for his work#either way- dr psychobos in-group headcanons may not make everyone morally better- but damn this villain can family#or whatever a desperate cerebrocrustacean forming an in-group on the smallest of similarities and the people he drags into it CAN be called

My (very old) loscar brooch (?) that i just now made doodles for
More pictures under cut
#loscar#logan sargeant#ls2#oscar piastri#op81#and now starts the rant#my fave detail is probably tge eye. there few beads like this and they were laying around until my friend said that they look loscar relate#so o started making making whole thing around that bc in my opinion it's genius (also sorry this is gonna have extremely long tags bc i had#run out of them once. maximum is 30 apparently)#I'll go by lains from here so first obviously eagle. i think it's hilarious and what's even funnier is that i bought those charms before#even knowing who Logan was. just for shit and giggles#also to coala i added a bead on top to somewhat match the height#also i love mixing up their colours bc I'm insane about that. how they ideal negatives of eachother and how orange fits logan while blue-os#so i also mixed it up with those animals charms and their attachments here#next stop - oscar lane. there not a lot of black which is bas but at least last heart is actually black. beads above it represents eyes#(you can see with doodles) and next one is for his hair but i couldn't find how to show it#and round see through bead i use for his helmet bc it shines with red yellow and blue#middle part - i talked about the eye but also beads above it. i tried to match tones so they won't clash#then fish and i love that it's in form of heart bc i associate both of them with water so much i needed something here#and bead underneath that is for Logan eyes ofc. for doodles there tried to use brown so oscar would have blond/logan brown but didn't work#AND READ HEART. “-WELL IT'S NOT YELLOW” “PREMA RED THEN?”#as you can see I'm totally normal about their prema times plus i love how it stands out with everything else and can be read as#usual meaning of red hearts. also made out of corals so it fits them too#and last but not least - Logan my beloved#first and foremost STARS#I added as much as humanly possible party bc of American meme party bc i fucking love stars and associate him with them#also added all williams shades of blue and even white so it covers all that#okay no I lied a bit bc i used a button for their dark blue#another thing i would like to mention is metal ring bc it has extremely small hearts on it that you need to look for to notice#I HIT LIMIT FUCK.last thing to say is how I tried to play with circles in middle of every lane. okay goodbye

out of curiosity, would you consider yourself butch?
used to be a blonde underweight twink and now I'm a based jock still got the chanel bag and the sick albeit matured mind of a suckpig to prove it so I'm gonna let you decide whether you wanna call me that word just cuz I got a pussy and short hair. I promise you that there have been enough advancements made in the art of lesbian sexual dynamics in the past 50 years to broaden the vocabulary used to describe the plethora of types of masculine females.
#being called butch just reminds me of how much males have the freedom to navigate between male archetypes and how people pay attention to#the distinguishing features of these varying masculinities#but when a female is seen as masculine it all gets lumped under the “butch” category#her masculinity is seen as unnatural and therefore incapable of being considered genuine or taken at face value as it is with males.#its always brought into question instead of taken in consideration with the rest of the woman's life and experiences and her particularities#Hence... Butch is still being treated as though its a huge lesbian cultural phenomena instead of a specific niche thing#also i dont mean to invite the “you dont pass!!” anons again bc that idiot is missing my point entirely (which is that im truly not trying)#but the fact is that for the past 3 years i have found myself increasingly navigating the male social world#and discovering what it means to me as a female to have access to the ability to take my “masculinity” for granted... relax#forget about it#etc#i think thats entirely antithetical to the Butch thing which seems to rest on the tension of other peoples expectations of her#people broadly are more surprised to find out that im interested in women just as much as they're surprised that im a gym queen iykwim...#ive worked hard for this and now that ive gotten the Woman Social Role thing pretty much entirely out of the way i am living the dream#i think a large part of that is learning as a dyke to appropriate the language of gay men theres a reason their terminology had#staying power even when their scene was *literally* dying meanwhile all that seemed to survive from dyke spaces was butch n femme ??#its because theirs didnt necessitate the building and maintenance of a scene in order for the subculture to hold its head above water#their labels *largely* weren't predicated on their relationships to gender roles and its telling that for dykes it was#their labels rested on the need to simply show up anonymous n be able to easily flag whether they were looking to fuck or be fucked#alongside the set of circumstances under which they would be fucking or getting fucked or what have you#it all comes back to the restrictions of female social blah blah blah and i think the sooner we collectively set down what we see as our#responsibility as lesbians and as feminists to Be A Woman the sooner we can step outside of that#n start thinking clearly about our individual circumstances and the necessity of putting on your own oxygen mask first before helping others

I couldn’t get @thicctails’s Mythology Falls Dipper design out of my head, so I had to make something for it. (Tw for animal death (a mouse is being eaten by an owl))
Fun fact! In order for owls to be as silent flyers as they are, they had to lose the waterproof oil coating on their feathers, which makes them unable to fly when wet.
If anyone’s interested, I found some interesting videos about Owls and Cheetahs (that are both by two of my favorite YouTubers)
Mabel’s seal form looks a bit different than the (harbor) seal photos next to it, and that’s because I only found those pictures AFTER finishing the art. Before that I had just looked up “seal photos” and used the wrong species as a reference, even though I did the markings (almost) accurate.
Some older doodles below the cut
#my art#did you know that cheetahs can’t climb trees bc of their non-retractable claws?#I wonder how that would work for a griffon#who’s bird half is made for trees#also that is supposed to be water dripping from dippers face#I just didn’t know how to do it#and no I don’t know how to draw bird feet#but I tried my best#dippers eating a possum btw#the mouse is in the reference images#griffon!dipper#selkie!mabel#monster falls#I got all the images from Google btw#mythology falls

smth smth about 'the thing that the character did that you thought was rly rly funny in the moment is actually linked to a terrible trauma that lies within said character.' or wahtever.
#jrwi show#jrwi fanart#jrwi riptide#gillion tidestrider#made this within a short span of wahtever bc i gotta go up to the mountains for my stupid gay job tonight n im trying#nnot to frrRREAAAK THE FUCK OUUTTTTTTi dont wanna work but. get that bread we fuckin shall i guess#ONWARDS TO THE FISH TORMENT!! sometimes flowers feel pain when you trim them before their blossoming. atleast i imagine so#i used to draw gillion with loooong hair tied into a big ol braid. and then it was confirmed that he had short hair when he was little.#AT FIRST I WAS SAD. but then i realized the duality of. when they were little. gill had short hair. edyn had long hair.#AND NOW THEYRE OLDER. and gillion has long hair. and edyn has short hair#both mirroring eachother. looking up to eachother. subconsciously or not. they most certainly care. and most certainly miss eachother.#GILLION ALWAYS LOVED HOW LONG HAIR LOOKs. atleast i imagine so. he hasnt cut it since he left the undersea. sure he wanted to go back home#but even at the very start. he knew he was free in some way now. free to grow out his hair. an adventure would await him before he returns.#he knew it would be a while. so he cant let this go. he cant let this sought-after hair-length get cut away from him again#not yet. not yet. i like to think he loved music too. I SAW SOMETHING INTERESTING A BIT AGO#i see alot of ppl commenting on my baby gill comics like;'i wouldFIGHT this teacher i wanna KILL EM i want them DESTROYED#all very good and nice sentiments! i LOVE the energy here! and it would be nice. to have that catharsis#but the story of young tidestrider is not a story of catharsis. it is a story of agony and being so so small and so special and also so dum#and sucking so bad. and just being a kid and doing the things that a little kid does and so many tired tired people reacting badly to it#youre supposed to be the hero that will save us. our world hangs in the balance and you are the one who tips the scales.#YOU are supposed to SAVE US!! you NEED to SAVE US! CAN YOU PLEASE STOP SQUIRMING IN YOUR STUPID CHAIR!!#you'd think that young tidestrider ought to prevail. and be tucked someplace all safe and sound.#elders gone missing and rotting in a jail. their cultists nowhere around. but theres no happy endings. not here not now.#this tale is all sorrows n woes. you may dream that justice n peace win the day. but thats not how this story goes#BIG ideas for this lil baby gillion series. if anything i make ever gets disproven im killing myself in a well as to poison a water supply

Why do people keep saying they want Agatha to adopt Billy or that Billy is a motherless child or that Agatha is Billy's new mom.... Y'all he says Rebecca is his mom, canonically in the show. Agatha isn't his mom.
#agatha all along#agatha harkness#william kaplan#rebecca kaplan#billy maximoff#Agatha isnt his mome hes has enough moms hes got Rebecca and maybe Wanda in the future. for THREE YEARS Rebecca was his mom#put some respect on her name#i cant believe i have to keep saying this#agatha isnt his mom. billy isnt a replacement nicky. agatha cares for billy yes but why does that have to be she his mom now?#i love my nieces ans nephews are they my children? no. im their aunt. id still help them need be. agatha has no parental power over billy#i see her as more aunt figure or mentor. why does she have to be his mom? he has enough moms? i thought we settled on Fun Aunt Agatha?#a coven is a non traditional family unit why do we have to put them in traditional family boxes?#hell the whole kaplan-maximoff-shepherd dynamic isnt traditional its messy and complicated. why would you want to water it down?#...........#i saw someone on tiktok say they want Agatha to Adopt Billy....how. would that work? he has two. perfectly alive and loving parents at home?#he loves them? he talks about them? he calls them his mom and dad? he spent 3 years with them? they're not abusive or horrible people!#why would he leave them? again HE LOVES THEM! Did you miss the part where he hugges them and looks at them fondly and they love him?#you want the twin with shit parents that would leave them and never look back? THATS TOMMY!

In your Meat Marionette au (which is awesome by the way), I was wondering if when Dick is shedding the chunks of 'skin' as Nightwing one of their rogues collects some to try and get a DNA sample for whatever reason and just finds the DNA of a bunch of dead people?
Have a good day :D
Oh my, what a wonderful idea and question. @phoenixcatch7 look at this <3
Honestly, as Dick is the first Robin to go through molting, he definitely did leave behind some chunks of flesh that someone definitely tries to sample. (It's not like he or Bruce had any idea that chunks of his body was just going to start... shedding lol)
The question is if they could even successfully do so, or if it's so muddled that it doesn't work. Because it's not just human corpses the Tunnels use, it's everything. Any biomass It can get ahold of (hence why Jason's Red Hood is an amalgamation of pieces of skulls when it comes to the head when his body was destroyed)
#ask answered#meat marionette au#batman au#cryptid batman#cryptid batfam#cryptid batfamily#batman#The funny thing is that neither Robin or the now traumatized goon were expecting a chunk of partially decayed flesh to just fall off#of Robin's arm so they're both staring wide-eyed at it like ?!?!?! before Batman swoops down in distress for the bby#Honestly not a biologist so idk how DNA mapping works exactly#But it would definitely be hard to pick out just ONE dna strand in their meat puppet bodies#Not that it stops them (and scientists/rogues) from trying#Not to mention that they drink Lazarus Waters so bits of that might run interference as well
