Constantine. I've seen it dozens of times and it never gets old. Tilda Swinton as Gabriel and Peter Stormare as Satan are a big part of why.
It was always goofy. Pretty early on my partner got heavy into WoW while I got heavy into EQ2, and the "cartoony" art style and vibe of WoW was part of what made it unique.
I don't personally think it's wierd, but my partner told me I sounded like an old for using the word "flummoxed"
Man what a blast from the past. I haven't seen these in idk how long but my mom had these when I was growing up. I don't even remember the stories, but those illustrations were awesome and are among some of my earliest memories of being unnerved by an art style (along with the legendary Scary Stories and the Wizard of Oz series from 1900 with the W.W. Denslow illustrations)
Im sure some people are attention seeking to some degree but most people i know who go on neighborhood runs are just out doing their own thing and if anything are overly self conscious about showing off their bodies. I overheat incredibly quickly when I go for runs, and I frequently have to peel off my top layer and I'm still soaked. I can't imagine I'm the only one. And I absolutely hate having any attention drawn to myself. Judgment from other people when I'm just out trying to get in a nice run outdoors sucks.
I've been tending to about 120 baby jumping spiders (P. audax) that emerged from their egg sac this week
He's trying to strike a chord
There's a Trans Fairy?? With estrogen?? WTF did I get on her/his/their naughty list? Was I supposed to leave a thigh high stocking over the fireplace?
Not an expert but I think you're right. The Wikipedia page OP linked describes the phenomenon this way:
Fata Morgana mirages significantly distort the object or objects on which they are based, often such that the object is completely unrecognizable... The mirage comprises several inverted (upside down) and upright images stacked on top of one another. Fata Morgana mirages also show alternating compressed and stretched zones.
They include a pretty good example with a container ship:
I'm absolutely gaping with excitement for these games!
It's still a really cool piece of art! Their other works are really fascinating and well-executed too - I especially like the kiwi with the hairy butthole and the.. uh.. scrotumfruit?
Not trying to downplay how cool the piece is, but the artists website says it's acrylic urethane with real Daikon leaves:
There's a few spiders that do this (I know some orb-weavers do) and IIRC scientists don't know for sure why, though it's been hypothesized that it could be either to confuse potential predators or to make themselves and their webs obvious to larger animals.
Some orb weavers like Argiopes even make a thick zigzag construction in their web called a stabilimentum that we don't really understand the function of, but one theory is to make the web more visually obvious so larger animals don't accidentally barrel into them.
Spiders are neat.
Years ago my GF declared that if she were ever going to be in a porn, her nom de poon would be Teen LaQueefa. I settled on Kenny Lingus.
If you've never seen cannabonsai before, check this guy's channel out. Even if you don't grow yourself, the process is fascinating and the results are gorgeous!
She was started late, grown outdoors & I grudgingly had to chop her early. Sheās the only plant Iāve grown that had jet black leaves, and the contrast with the bright green buds was just neat.
I can't sleep and have heard AVB can used in edibles, so let's fucking go.
Its the middle of the night so I'm looking for quick & low effort. I've got peanut butter here and I've never had firecrackers, so that sounds promising. I have some Nutty Bars here too, so let's use those.
I have no clue on potency so I'm just using what looks like a good amount - 0.4g of AVB to 2 spoonfuls of peanut butter
Oh Glob what have I done
Ok it doesn't look so bad once it's mixed up, but this is prob twice the volume I will need
After cracking open the Nutty Bars and spreading a thick-ish layer of greenut butter, I still have some left over. Whatever maybe I'll eat it later.
The chocolate is melty and the greenut butter is a little runnier than I'd like, so after reassembling the Nutty Bars, it's into the mini-fridge for a chill.
They should be just about ready to eat now - wish me luck! šØāš
Where can you legally smoke recreational cannabis? Can you grow cannabis in your home? Is it OK for Wisconsinites to buy marijuana in Minnesota and bring it back home? Here are answers to all your questions about the new law.
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/2466388
> Minnesotans are now able to legally possess and grow their own marijuana for recreational purposes, after the Minnesota Legislature approved a 300-page bill earlier this year, and Gov. Tim Walz signed it into law shortly thereafter. It became official Tuesday.
