Don't you wish you had someone who looked at you the way LinkedIn looks at me

Sebastian *finding Tom and Harry in MC's secret basement*: And what do we have here.

Harry *blushing and arranging his clothes*

Tom *glaring at his dad*: We were looking for my notes on Alchemy. I think I left them here last night when I was helping Mom with that thing.

Sebastian *smirking*: I know we look good, Tom, but we're all older than even Dumbledore. I know all the tricks.

Harry *acting cool*: Really? What's your secret Mr. Sallow?

Sebastian: Dark Magic.

Harry: ...

Tom *rolling his eyes*: Don't tell Sirius.

Harry: Wait, he's not lying!?

Makes a lot of sense to me that image descriptions, wonderful accessibility accommodation they are, proliferated best on the "images never load" website

Its math. Duh.

Thank you!

Reblogging would be a great help, but don’t feel pressured to

"average cat owner spends 3 years in prison" factoid actualy just statistical error. average owner spends 0 years in prison. Miette's mother, who kicked her body like the football and went to jail for One Thousand Years is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Someone passed me a note in my math class and when I opened it it was a drawing of a hare. The hare looked at me and said, “The mountains have roots. They want the sky back.” And then the ink seeped through the paper until I was holding a completely black and soaked note.

if a number divided by itself is always equal to 1, surely this holds true for 0/0 as well

Photographers all know about polarizing filters. They remove reflections off the surfaces of objects. We use them to see into water or windows that are obscured by those reflections. But anything with an even slightly glossy surface has a layer of reflection on top. So if you have a shiny green plant, it can remove the shiny and reveal a very saturated green underneath. Polarizers also remove a lot of scattered and reflected light from the sky. Which reveals a deep blue color you didn't even know was there.

Here is a photo I took of my circular polarizer.

And the first thing I noticed when walking outside during the eclipse was the color of everything was more saturated, just like in that circle. Apparently, an eclipse significantly reduces polarized light and I got this creepy feeling because I was only ever used to seeing the world like that through the viewfinder of my camera.

The other thing I noticed was my outdoor lights. I leave them on all the time because I never remember to turn them on at night. And usually the sun will render them barely visible during the day. On a very sunny day they almost look like they are off.

But you can clearly see they are shining and even flaring the camera during the eclipse.

Our eyes adjust to lighting changes very well so it was hard to tell how much dimmer things were, but that is a good indication. I took this photo a few minutes ago and you can see how dim the lights appear after the moon has fucked off.

I did a calculation using the exposure settings between these two photos. The non-eclipse photo has 7 f-stops more light. That is 128 times or 12,700% more light.

A partial Pringle eclipse cut the sun's light by 99.2% and somehow our eyes adjusted to make it seem like a normal sunny day (with weird ass saturated colors).
