This is a tremendously impactful short story and every time I see it, it serves as an excellent reboot button for my state of mind.

my favorite calvin and hobbes comic is the one where his dad just rolls up and casually destroys his entire night by pointing out some neat trivia about record players

@nightcrawler-fan

#his expression in the last panel is black comic gold #the best part is that his dad was trying to be nice

are you sure. are you sure calvin’s dad is not a seasoned elder trickster. are you sure this isn’t the exact outcome he was hoping for

ok but that’s actually canon

You forgot this one

*looks pointedly at ETD*

Calvin’s dad is basically a Calvin who has learned that he can’t get away with running outside naked or throwing snowballs at neighborhood girls, but he is still precisely the same little shit under the thin veneer of civilization.

@lyricwritesprose Calvin and Hobbes has been one of my favorite things since I could read and Calvin’s dad one of my favorite characters, but that last comment blew my mind wide open. Of course that’s what he is. Of course.

one of the most subtly delightful things about calvin and hobbes is that you can SEE that calvin is his parents’ kid: his dad is so playful and imaginative, and his mom has a heck of a temper and a good sense of what’s right and wrong. calvin is a smart, passionate, imaginative kid who gets really upset when he thinks things are stupid or unfair. he drives his parents crazy sometimes because he’s a kid. but they were probably a lot like calvin themselves, when they were little. 

My favorite goddamn comic

Also didn’t Calvin make a comment once that apparently his grandma said his mother was just as much of a troublemaker as he is

How DARE Tolkien omit in the final draft the information that the traditional hobbit marriage custom is to have unspoken vibes for years and then disappear without explanation for an indeterminate length of time!?

#where’s the fic where bilbo returns with thorin in tow and no one bats an eye#like#‘he married a dwarf did he? well he always was an odd fellow’#'good day to you master dwarf how’s your husband?’#and thorin is just ?????#'how do they know i’m courting him? did he show them the mithril shirt?’#just give me all the hilarious culture clashes ok

@finegoddamnit​ how dare you hide this in the tags

so that whole time merry, pippin, sam, and frodo are gone the whole shire is losing their minds arguing over who married who.

They need to invent more fake celebrities like Hatsune Miku and Gorillaz and the Muppets because it’s genuinely the most sustainable way to maintain a parasocial relationship with the entertainer class.

Kermit the Frog can never get canceled because Kermit the Frog has no agency or personhood beyond what he is imbued with by the collective labor of puppeteers, voice actors, singers, and writers. He is, along with these other examples, effectively a celebrity by gestalt. He has transcended the inherit instability of the celebrity class through diffusion of responsibility for his personhood. He is a god.

This is chlorine trifluoride, one of the most reactive, corrosive substances known. This stuff will light asbestos on fire, as well as sand, glass, many metals, and oh, it will also ignite water. Basically if you start a fire with this stuff, your only option is to let it burn out, because anything you put on it will just burn up itself (though if it’s in an enclosed space you can flood the space with like argon or whatever). Apparently a spill of almost a ton of this stuff burned its way through a foot of concrete and 3 feet of gravel before it stopped.

This is when I get to introduce everyone to some of my favourite science writing ever: Things I Won’t Work With by Biochemist Ph.D. Derek Lowe, featured on Science dot org.

Sand Won’t Save You This Time

Hexanitrohexaazaisowurtzitane

Peroxide Peroxides

and many others.

It is hypergolic with every known fuel, and so rapidly hypergolic that no ignition delay has ever been measured. It is also hypergolic with such things as cloth, wood, and test engineers,
