To be fair, humans are some bullshit from a balance perspective.

“I’ll just outrun that human…any day now… any… day… jesus christ it’s the terminator.”

“Maybe I can outsmart it and hide. What’s that you say, its brain takes up 20% of it’s caloric intake? FML.”

“It doesn’t have any natural weapons. I’ll just turn around and kill it. OH GOD IT’S GOT STONE CLAWS THAT ARE UNHOLY SHARP!”

“Okay, fight number two. It’s squishy so if I’m careful and find the right time when it’s weak I can - IT HAS PROJECTILE SHARP THINGS!”

“I’ll try crossing the river. It’s too gangly to be buoya - IT CAN SWIM?!?”

“Okay nothing can swim and run and climb. I’ll just go up this tree… FML it descended from apes.”

“It doesn’t even have fur, I can run to a colder climate and escape. Welp, it’s wearing the fur of my loved ones to keep warm.”

“If the whole herd bands together and protects each other, we can trample it… it can CONTROL FIRE.”

“Fuck it. Might as well just follow them around and get domesticated.”

Prettymuch everything we did to animals comes out of a horror movie.

Welp, it’s wearing the fur of my loved ones to keep warm.”

If you’ve got a garbage disposal in your kitchen, you’ll probably want to check it against this list of disposals — from brands like Kenmore, Moen, and Frigidaire — that have been recalled over concerns that they may send metal pieces flying out of your sink.

Anaheim Manufacturing, the company that produced the garbage disposals for the brands, announced the recall this week, after finding the disposals pose an injury hazard to customers.

According to a notice posted with the Consumer Product Safety Commission, the metal component inside the disposal can break off and come out of the disposal during use.

So far, Anaheim has received 22 reports of a metal component coming out of a disposal, including three reports of a broken component hitting consumers. However, no injuries have been reported.

The CPSC says the recall covers disposals from 10 different brands. The affected products (full list below) were sold between Dec. 2015 and March 2017 at major national retailers and online, with prices ranging from $80 to $450.

Affected products can be identified by the brand name, model number, and serial number printed on a table on the bottom or side of the disposal.

The following disposals are covered by the recall:

Owners of the affected disposals should immediately stop using them and contact Anaheim Manufacturing at 800-628-0797 or online at www.anaheimmfg.com to arrange for a free replacement disposal to be installed at no cost.

I love how in Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Steve and Bucky are having their dramatic highway battle and the cars in the other lane just keep driving. Like, the regular people in the Marvel Cinematic Universe must be so jaded at this point. Like, “Ho hum. Another Monday. Aw dangit. Looks like they’re at it again. The five o’clock rush is gonna be hell.”

Various twitter accounts just like:

So-called superheroes making me late to work again. Are they gonna employ me when I get fired for their incompetence? 🖕

THINK I SAW CAP AMERICA ON HWY 95 BRIDGE 🇺🇸❤️

No one at work believes I was late because I missed my turn due to “enormous bird man.”
#cantmakethisshitup

Captain America vs SHIELD secret police have shootout on freeway in DC. What are they not telling us?

Dropped my snack in floorboard bc some metal arm dude flew off this car & into the gd road. Skittles everywhere.

FUCKING SUPERHEROES BETTER HAVE SOME SUPER FUCKING INSURANCE. CAME OUT OF MEETING. MY CAR IS TOTALED. WTF?!?!

Saw Black Widow on bridge this afternoon. #daymade

Which Avenger has a metal arm? #newfave 💋

Think I saw Cap A out of costume & still fighting shit. Either that or some kids have taken LARPing too far.

Is there an Avengers with wings? Seriously. This is important.

Pray for those caught in #Hwy95 incident. Bus overturned. Potential Avengers situation. 🙏

Ridding the world of evil? What about the evil of making a girl late to her lunch date? Smh

Got bullet holes in my car today, but it also shielded black widow so like thank you ma'am. It’s been an honor.

Okay I already reblogged the original, but this ‘twitter’ post has me crying, so I have to reblog it too. Lmfao!

Give me Superman with an awful southern accent. Give me Clark Kent sounding like he grew up on a farm (oh wait). Give me Superman the Journalist using y'all and all y'all and ain’t. Basically just give me Superman from Kansas

And DEFENDING IT.

“No, Lois, it’s not bad English. It’s a descriptive grammar theory and it serves a linguistic function.”

“C'mon, Smallville, are you really defending your use of ain’t?”

“Some of us actually went to class in college. If y'all are gonna give me a hard time about it, I’m gonna fight back.”

Clark making that “oop” noise when he bumps into inanimate objects.

But can you imagine Clark being so conditioned to this he bumps into an unmoving Bruce in the Watchtower once, and Bruce just slowly turns to stare at Clark and now it’s Clark’s turn to freeze because he just ‘oop'ed freaking Batman.

Or using ‘ain’t’ once around Bruce and Bruce just slowly goes rigid and stares at him.

“Did you just say ‘ain’t’?”

“Umm… yes?”

“You’re a writer!”

“Yeah, Bruce, and I’m also a farm boy from Kansas. It’s a legitimate word. Just because I don’t write with it doesn’t mean I don’t say it!”

And Bruce can’t even believe the indignity.

Give me Clark Kent saying YAIN’T

Yo, though, like– Give me an accurately accented Clark Kent and a neutral accented Superman because CLEARLY that’s part of the costume.

And he breaks when it’s just superheroes he can trust around. So the first time someone hears his actual accent, they just feel so lied to.

Headcanon: Professor McGonagall has a muggle wife she never mentions to the students, because they never ask.

Four years after Harry’s left Hogwarts he visits McGonagall’s home to talk her out of retirement, and the door is opened by a woman he doesn’t recognise. Confused, he introduces himself and asks to see McGonagall. The woman recognises the name and invites him in, saying Minerva will be home soon. She then talks a mile a minute, but not about the war - about the stories she’s heard about the golden trio from their head of house. About how Harry stood up to Umbridge, and how clever Hermione was, and how Ron had been able to beat her chess game, and how PROUD Minerva was of them all.

By the time McGonagall does arrive, Harry and her wife are chatting like old friends. Minvera’s wife calls her things like “Darling” and “Pumpkin.” Harry cannot believe his ears.

Harry is invited to tea every Wednesday from then on. He always looks forward to it.

but lets be real here, even with the “darling”s and “pumpkin”s Harry still wouldn’t catch on and he’d go home and tell Ginny all about McGonagall’s lovely gal-pal and Ginny would have to be like “babe…that was her wife”

You’re right, fuck! How could I forget how deeply unobservant Harry is?!

“They’re lesbians, Harold.”

I recently found my “gold” hammer after misplacing it. It’s my favorite tool ever because it looks like a regular hammer trying to be fancy,

but then you twist both halves and unscrew it to find a flat-head screwdriver in the middle.

BUT, if you twist the very end and unscrew that

you find a phillips screwdriver.

BUT DON’T THINK THAT’S ALL THERE IS! THERE’S MORE!! unscrew the very end again to find a smaller flat-head screwdriver!

BUT THAT’S STILL NOT THE END!!

unscrew the end of this screwdriver to find a final, teeny tiny, flat-head screwdriver

look at how cute it is!

it’s like a matryoshka doll of tools.

This goes for checkout cashiers, too.  

Basically anyone in any service industry at all. Just be nice and polite, and where applicable tip well.

Chris Evans’ Story of Adopting His Rescue Dog Dodger From the Pound Could Not Be Sweeter
In case you need another reason to appreciate Chris Evans, allow him to make you “aww” with the story of how he adopted his dog, Dodger, during filming of his new movie Gifted.

“One of the last scenes we were filming was in a pound, a kennel,” Evans tells PEOPLE. “I foolishly walked in and I thought, ‘Are these actor dogs or are these real up for adoption dogs?’ And sure enough they were, so I was walking up and down the aisles and saw this one dude and he didn’t belong there. I snagged him and he’s such a good dog. They aged him at about one, he acts like a puppy, he’s got the energy of a puppy, he’s just such a sweetheart, he’s such a good boy. He loves dogs, he loves kids, he’s full of love.”

The Captain America star is a self-proclaimed “dog lunatic” and says he and Dodger play, exercise and sleep together.

“Playing with him is exercise, he’s exhausting,” laughs Evans. “He’s up for anything. God dogs, they’re such great animals. I really can’t say enough about dogs, I’m a dog lunatic. He sleeps on my pillow, you wake up face-to-face.”

Evans is also vigilant about Dodger’s doggy hygiene.

“I keep a very clean dog, I’m a big dog bather, twice a week,” he says. “We get dirty! We run around, he’s in the mud a lot, so yeah, I think it’s nice having a fresh clean dog.”

katie this is importantwhen you say fawn … like a deer? really? COOL

Yes, a deer. A three-day-old baby deer. It was a terrible idea. When the students rocked back up to the field station with it, we told them off for stock rustling, took it to the farmer who was like, what the fuck am I going with that, I’ll have to cut its throat and use it for dog meat, and we were like, uh, no, so we took it to the SPCA, who were DELIGHTED. 

I THOUGHT A “FAWN” WAS SOME KIND OF OBSCURE GEOLOGICAL TERM I DIDN’T UNDERSTAND

*DID* IT FIZZ?

my husband was once Responsible Adult on a geology field course and the highlight was when I was calling him and it was like

Dr Glass: Oh, an undergrad’s just thrown his compass into the sea.

Me: is that… part of the exercise?

Dr Glass: *nonjudgmentally* well…

(an unearthly, animal roar is heard over the phone)

Dr Glass: Ah, now he’s going into the sea.

Me: …To get the compass?

Dr Glass: I think he just wants the sea to take him.

(a peaceable, nonjudgmental silence follows, with distant splashing)

Dr Glass: Well, I think I’ll go get him now.

I wanna know the lyrics to “Man-Eating Trilobite”.

jumpingjacktrash:

i don’t mean the prevalence of (over?)sharing broad-brush feelings like sadness and anger and love

i mean the ones there are no words for, the ones you thought you were experiencing alone, that turn out to be universal once someone comes up with a way to depict them in a post

take for instance ‘cursed image’ and ‘blessed image’

it’s not that the feeling that describes is new – i guarantee you as far back as like 1978 i have looked at a picture and felt squirmy and uncertain like it changed my brain in a way i didn’t consent to, even though it wasn’t a picture of a bad or scary thing happening.

but it would never have occurred to me to even show such a picture to someone else and elicit their reaction, let alone that the reaction is a thing humanity shares.

it took tumblr’s unique combination of oversharing, relatability-seeking, and memes to stick the caption ‘cursed image’ on, say, a gas mask full of spaghetti, and suddenly we all discovered we knew EXACTLY what they were talking about.

same with ‘blessed image’ – it can’t just be any old cute or nice picture. a kitty touching someone’s hand is just a pet photo. but this

is a blessed image. i can’t put into words why. but you know it is.

i would also like to bring up ‘a real feeling’, the tumblr outgrowth of the general internet ‘that feel when’ meme

‘that feel’ goes for the obviously relatable, like getting dumped, eating food, watching tv, etc; ‘a real feeling’ goes for the stuff so niche that simply mentioning it is evocative, and that it turns out to be relatable is a huge surprise. i tried to find examples but they’re hard to search because ppl don’t tag them. it’s just like, “a real feeling is when you feed a parking meter in ohio and pretend you’re in new york” or “a real feeling is knowing how to float on your back in a pool but you can’t quite bring yourself to stop paddling a little bit anyway” – little glimpses into someone’s life that turn out to be things you’ve experienced, or can imagine so well that you feel like you have.

a lot of the posts i see going around that credit millennials for inventing some form of communication are wrong – y’all are not more sarcastic than gen x, sorry, you just ain’t – but this one? congratulations, you did this, and it’s very cool.
