ok but why is ‘potato’ always used negatively in phrases? ‘couch potato’ and ‘he looks like a potato’……… what the hell have potatoes ever done to you? potatos are the mvps of the food world, the backbone of many dishes. they never let u down. potatoes are the real winners here and we should feel honoured to be described as one
I can think of at least one time potatoes have let down a very large group of people.
Okay, I DEVOURED all the WoT books… until Knife of Dreams. I cannot for the life of me get through KoD. I’ve tried and had to start over 3 times and cannot get through it. I don’t even know why, it just seems so much slower. Waugh…
My friend had to wait for a bus by our local prison yesterday and he caught a ponyta, meowth, and golduck. You’re think you’re joking, but he’s trying to convince me we need to go further in.
I’m 23, and I found out today 3 of my coworkers thought I’m 19. I was????? and asked why, and they responded with “you don’t talk about alcohol” and “you don’t have a baby.”
If writers took every bit of writing advice that was in the format ‘Don’t use X part of the English language’, all English fiction would read like Spot the dog

The answer is apparently “because we’re actually able to eat it”
Fun fact: white people (specifically Northern European white people) have a genetic mutation that allows them to digest lactose even after weaning, which is abnormal for all mammals and also most humans. It’s theorized that because Northern Europe doesn’t get a lot of sun, an alternative source of vitamin D (like milk) would be a useful trait. It’s a very recent mutation that would only have happened after humans started domesticating animals like cows and goats.
i’m south asian and ashkenazi jewish, which are 2 cultures known for lactose intolerance. eating cheese makes me feel like i’m gonna shit me pants but FUCK IF I DONT LOVE PIZZA
Every time a reporter asks, “How will So-and-So win the women vote??” another woman is absorbed into the Women Hive Mind and loses her independent free thought.
Why do people never want to tell you their middle name like who gives a shit its not a nuclear launch code its your damn name
reblog with your middle name in the tags
Actually, the practice dates back to the reason we have middle names in the first place!
Some time around the dark ages, everyone believed in witchcraft and wizardry, like ya do. A big principle of magic was the idea of “true names.” If a spellcaster knew your full name, they could do whatever the hell they wanted to you. Of course, people didn’t want that, but there were enough people with the same first names that you had to give people your surname as well, to avoid confusion.
The solution? A secret name in the middle that you don’t tell anyone (unless you believe that they’re not able to do magic and/or you trust them enough that if they DID do magic, you’d be fine).
Those in areas that don’t normally experience high heat be careful, as the Hilliary Campaign is expected to deploy their Heat Dome over the next weeks, which will trap hot air over various states while they fire deadly heat rays from Hilliary HQ as it passes overhead in LEO.
I’ve been watching Let’s Plays of Bioshock and now I’m on Bioshock 2 and I need to know:
Has anyone done a comprehensive break down of all the Ayn Rand allusions and references? Because I’m bubbling over giddy enthusiasm and appreciation for how much they crammed in.
I want a high fantasy movie where everyone talks with Southern US accents instead of British ones.
The Dwarves though, they can get Minnesotan accents.
ok but picture this: elves with brooklyn accents
“Hey HEY I’m castin’ here, what’d’you – listen, my pop and I serve the Great Tree goin’ back six hundred fuckin’ years so if you got a problem with our fuckin’ magic you don’t fuckin’ come down here into our fuckin’ grove to gimme shit about it.
“Right? You don’t see me fuckin’ goin’ into your shitty man-stables and tellin’ you how to milk horses, do ya? So instead you come down here, disrespect me, disrespect my pa, and how ‘bout you stop fuckin’ disrespectin’ the Great Fuckin’ Tree that grew whens’t the world was young and carries all our fates ‘n its boughs, okay?
