Prettier watches can be much easier to read, lamps are part of house decor and should preferably look nice, muscle is very useful in certain situations, a good bottle can make people excited for the drink inside, and apple juice tastes better out of fancy glasses. Also, the person is more important than the outfit, but a good outfit certainly doesn’t hurt.

Substance is vital, but style, especially in objects meant to be enjoyed, is not nothing. Sometimes it’s the icing on the cake.

TIL lobsters do not die due to aging. They become stronger and more fertile with age due to the presence of enzyme telomerase which tepairs DNA sequence.

via reddit.com

you’re telling me, if left unharmed, lobsters survive the ravages of time and gain progressively more fuck power as it goes on

Literally the only reason they are so small is overfishing and we are eating them essentially as toddlers. This is how big they are suppose to be.

Humans have bigger brains and the ability to walk upright; lobsters get to live forever.

Seems fair.

This is how Ebirah, Horror of the Deep came to be

He went uneaten for so long he grew large and powerful enough to battle Godzilla, which is the true goal of every lobster 😀

Immortal eldritch beasts. *considers starting a cult*

Ooooooooo

How does one go about joining your Lobster Cult

Sacrifice lots and lots of plaid things… The gay plaid lobster shall reign supreme!!

< CHANTS OMINOUSLY

They’re gonna be real mad when they realize we’ve been eating their toddlers

Lobsters do eventually die of natural causes, but only when they grow so big that their bodies can no longer support their own mass. They also grow at varying speeds depending on the amount of food available. You could keep a lobster alive and healthy for probably several hundred years if you carefully moderated its food intake for its whole life- enough to keep it fed and growing without it growing at maximum speed.

We were in the woods and a huge storm was blowing in and I was like once we hear thunder I’m going in and everyone started asking me if I’m afraid of storms and I was like I just don’t like to be out during them and they were like “on a scale of one to ten how afraid are you of thunder though” and I was like ??? “Let me be clear: I don’t have a childhood fear of thunder. I have the adult fear of my mortality and what lighting has to say about it.”

In regards to animal behaviour, why are domesticated pets so bad at learning what’s dangerous? My dog still tries to eat chocolates, nuts, and other foods that have given him bad (or mild allergic) reactions before. And my old family cat always chewed on power cords, even if they were in use. Though neither needed ER visits, I would think that there would be some type of association that would stop them from repeating the same action. Thing hurts, now avoid thing that caused pain. Right?

drferox:

Timing of the consequence is critical for a dog, or cat to learn an association.

Eat something, then get taken to a vet clinic to be made to vomit? Vet clinic is bad.

Eat something and feel weird hours and hours later? Why would it be the food?

Chew something and get yelled at by humans? Humans don’t like that.

Swallow an entire sock? Sick the next day? Surgery at vet clinic the next day and now finally home? What the hell? Oh, hey, look a tasty sock!

A large part of this lack of learning is that the consequences are not timed ideally for the animal to learn. Another part of it is that by selecting for domesticated traits, we’ve also selected for our domestic pets to be more more juvenile than their wild counterparts, but also to default to humans for more of their problemsolving.

You can’t really blame them for investigating the world, nor can you expect a dog or cat to think like a human when reasoning their way through the world.

I’d imagine it doesn’t help that wild canids and felids run into fewer things that are dangerous to eat. There are no chocolates and power cables in the wild.

Watch: The “pink tax” is secretly costing women thousands — and not just at the drug store

Yooooooooooo

Women pay more for products. Men pay more for clothing.

Do men really pay more for clothes?

Yea, seriously. Shirts, sneakers, jeans, socks…etc. Ask your male friends how much they pay for a pair of descent jeans. It’ll blow your mind. 

At least their pants have fucking pockets tho

Men pay more for clothing.”

OH AND SHOULD I BRING UP PANTIES WHILE I’M AT IT? I am a firm believer of the “fuck you, I’ll wear briefs that don’t give me a wedgie, I don’t care if they’re not sexy” policy, but a lot of women are expected to wear panties and thongs because GASP WOMEN MUST BE BEAUTIFUL AT ALL TIMES. Here’s a screenshot of some Victoria’s secret panties!

Wow. It’s almost as if there’s a pattern here.

Women are expected to buy more clothing, and literally all of it is more expensive, so fuck all of you.

*HAMMERS THE REBLOG BUTTON*

Fucking infuriating.
And, NO ONE pays more for clothes than fat women. Tired of it.

Have you ever stepped on a Torrid? $50-$80 for a blouse.

^^^^^

Yup it totally gets more costly when you’re not model thin.

Woah

I’m here to confirm the fat girl comment…. decent fitting, CUTE plus size shit is just expensive as fuck.

$38 for a fucking t-shirt at Torrid.
