Washington Post headline with the title "Trump team cites wolf ‘de-extinction’ as it seeks to cut endangered species list" and the first line stating "The Trump administration is trumpeting a biotech company’s claim of reviving a long-lost wolf as an argument for slashing endangered species protections."ALT

Ahhh, there’s the obvious conclusion.

If we can de-extinct* species, surely there’s no point in worrying about endangered species anymore! We can bring them back anytime!

*depending on your definition of de-extinction.

And considering one of the heads chose to go on Joe Rogan’s show i wouldn’t be at all surprised if they’re encouraging this

GEE WHO COULD HAVE SEEN THIS COMING

Why does it matter if this administration torpedos EVERY major animal conservation law, we can just bring them back! We are very smart.

googling shit like “why do i feel bad after hanging out with my friends” and all of the answers are either “you need better friends” (i don’t; my friends are wonderful) or “your social battery is drained, you need to rest and regain your energy levels” (i don’t; i’ve got tons of energy, it’s just manifesting as over-the-top neurotic mania). why is this even happening. it’s like some stupid toll i have to pay as a punishment for enjoying myself too much

I actually, genuinely think social event aftercare would fix me. I need someone to put me to bed and say “you were fun today and no one hated you”

IDK, most people hate it, but I’m also the person that purposely lets coke go flat because I like it better flat so me and carbonated drinks have a weird relationship.

microwaving aluminum specifically is known to cause arching, which can cause fires! (thick aluminum is fine, but thin aluminum like aluminum foil, and I assume the edge of an opened can is Not)

on top of that microwaving liquids can be dangerous as they get hot extremely quickly.

just search “microwave aluminum foil” on YouTube if ur curious lol

Ah. That would explain the popping sound. I assumed that was just my microwave being old. Good to note I shouldn’t do that in the future.

Moodboard for when the friend group gets together to cook

Wild to see this on my dash over a year later. Quick update on the aforementioned microwave it did get a whole burned through it but that was not due to this. Long story short don’t leave your university experiments of how plasma can be formed at low temps with proper ionization setups plugged in underneath your microwave during a storm.

GIRL??????? I THOUGHT YOU LEARNED????

I DID I DIDNT PUT ANYTHING METAL IN THE MICROWAVE. JUST ON THE STOVE UNDER IT.

WHY ARE YOU LEAVING SCIENCE DXPERIMENTS ON THE STOVE??????

leave your experiments unattended. this is how we discovered penicillin!!

GIRL ORCA LEFT THE EXPERIMENT UNATTENDED AND MELTED A HOLE THROUGH HER MICROWAVE. ARE U IMPLYING THAT MICROWAVE WAS A PETRI DISH AND THE MELTED HOLE IS A LIVE SAVING FUNGUS?????

It proved its infact entirely possible to make plasma hot enough to separate water into hydrogen and oxygen (far cooler than the burning point of my microwave) using 12V and <0.1 amps of electricity at room temp so I’d say close enough!

image

how can you do all of this while also leaving it on the stove . please I’m begging why is ur knowledge base made out of swiss cheese 😭😭🙏

WHERE ELSE AM I GONNA PUT IT. ON THE FLOOR WITH THE CATS? ON MY WOODEN DESK???

I DONT KNOW MAYBE IN A GARAGE??? OR NOT PLUGGED IN??????? OR IN A LAB????????????

Okay the lab comment is fair I should have left it at uni but they don’t have locks and I didn’t want it to get stolen :(

you don’t want it to get stolen but risking a house fire is fine???? 😭😭

Today’s bug: Angy

Cartoon drawing of a greater wax moth. The moth is mottled brown and shaped like a collapsing trapezoid. It has a bent, pointed snout with no visible mouth, but you can tell its frowning because it has very angry eyebrows and an anime Mad vein.ALT

Tomorrow’s bug: Science

the moth is now in a sloppily drawn microwave, with alarmed googly eyes. The number display on the microwave looks concerned about this unfortunate science.ALT

Bug Stickers | More bugs | Bugs coming for you specifically

HELLO???

animated gif video. Point of view person is holding stickers of the moth in a microwave, leafing through them like cards. In the background, you can see a real life microwave. Suddenly, he opens the microwave, tosses the stickers in, slams the door and sets the cooking time to 6:66. He presses start and the cards begin rotating in the microwave.ALT

hi

I have bought 10 stickers and it will be going on every PC I build for the end of time, and also on my vehicle. Peak, thank you for this gift.

One legitimately weird thing about Tumblr is that we literally can’t code for shit, many people quit working at Tumblr due to a hostile work environment, and we can’t seem to program a simple blogging website to not flood your RAM.
