How….how do they think candles can cause cancer…that’s now…that’s not how it works.
I mean, maybe if you have a thousand candles burning at any given time and are surrounding yourself with smoke constantly? I can’t think of any reasonable way to give yourself cancer with candles.
I will say that you should be careful about essential oil diffusers and pets. Some essential oils are toxic to pets. Birds are extremely sensitive to anything in the air and shouldn’t have any of the three used around them. Not because it causes cancer, though.
I looked it up just to be sure and this shit is Fr y’all
The Tasmanian people had a dialect and way of life that was different from other Aborigines. The British killed the men and women of the tribes and took away their food supply when they first arrived. Later they tried to “civilize” the Tasmanians and subject them to foreign diseases to kill off the last of them. The last full-blood Tasmanian woman was said to have lived until the year1888.
Wow!
at this point, what isnt racist in this country??!!
WHAT THE FUCK
Wow 😳😥
As a History Concentration with a rather unsettling love for Looney Tunes and other classic cartoons, I never thought that I’d see the day where my two completely unrelated passions merged up so wonderfully.
And yet, here we are.
So let’s talk about Tasmania, shall we?
Actually, pretty much everything that the OP said about Tasmania is correct.
By the way, her name was Truganini (Nickname:
Lallah Rookh.) If you’re going to use her legacy to try to criticize an old cartoon character you should at least give her the common courtesy of a name.
Now then, let’s talk about Looney Tunes.
Or more specifically, let us talk about the Tasmanian Devil.
Taz for short.
Great character.
Fun, energetic, hungry, and not a racist portrayal in any way, shape, or form.
The statement that Taz is a racist portrayal of the Tasmanian people is completely and one hundred percent wrong.
Now I know what you’re thinking…
“Alright marauders4evr, what is the Tasmanian Devil based off of?”
Well, Im glad that you asked.
Gather ‘round and listen closely now because this is going to be one of the greatest revelations that you will ever hear in your mortal lives.
The Tasmanian Devil…
…is based off of the Tasmanian Devil!
Yeah!
It’s a real animal!
An energetic animal who eats everything in its sight.
And Robert McKimson based a character off of it.
Speaking of one of the great men behind Looney Tunes…
Let’s talk about Mel Blanc!
I love him!
I wish that I could have met him!
He’s one of my late heroes.
Phenomenal voice actor.
The best that has ever existed.
The Man of 1000 Voices he’s called.
(And that’s an underestimate!)
The point is that he took a lot of pride in his work.
So what did he base Taz’s dialect off of?
I can tell you right now that it wasn’t the Tasmanian people.
Mel Blanc based the sound of the Tasmanian Devil…
…off of the Tasmanian Devil!
Here’s a clip of Taz’s dialect:
And here’s a clip of the Tasmanian Devil’s scream:
(Chilling, ain’t it?)
(On a side note, I just love to imagine Mel in the recording booth, screaming and growling before calmly doing Bugs’ voice!)
In conclusion…
What happened to the Tasmanian people truly is saddening and I wish that it hadn’t happened.
THE TASMANIAN DEVIL (TAZ) IS NOT A RACIST PORTRAYAL IN ANY WAY, SHAPE, OR FORM
THE TASMANIAN DEVIL IS A REAL ANIMAL!
MEL BLANC WAS AWESOME AND DESERVES YOUR UTMOST RESPECT!
T-T-T-T-T-T-THAT’S ALL FOLKS!
Fabulous
There’s enough actual, legitimate racism in this world. Speak out against that instead of making shit up.
I thought this was common knowledge anyway? But yeah, if OP had the patience to Google things about Tasmania and the Tasmian devil character I have a hard time believing they NEVER stumbled upon the true origin which leads me to believe this either is an intentional misrepresentation and OP just cherry picked and ignored information that was contrary to the narrative they are pushing or OP was so set on making a post with the information they wanted to hear that they went straight for information to back up their theory instead of first checking if it was correct. Either way, it’s sad that people will take any chance they get to play the victim or spin something into a race issue.
If anyone out there ever asks you “How could someone be so stupid that they’d eat a Tidepod?” Show them this post. Because you’d have to be a real fucking moron to swallow this shit.
people don’t know about the animal? I guess I was a weird kid. I had two or three of those little kids magazines like Ranger Rick and Nat Geo Kids that talked about the Tasmanian Devils. I always thought they were cool as hell.
Xyleutes persona (or similar. Cossidae). One of the heaviest moths I’ve ever held..!
If you reblog this, please take care to tag it as “moth” and “insect”. I’d like to receive as few “kill it/stomp on it/light it on fire” comments as possible. Thanks! (also please be sensitive to the fact that entomology is enjoyed and pursued by people of all cultures and colors.
If you don’t want everyone knowing who you are, just send me an ask on anon with your results. I’m curious as to if there’s a correlation between these, because I am a nerd.
Golden tortoise beetles can change color depending on the season or even their mood using the liquid beneath their transparent shell. Underneath the shell are three layers of cuticle, each covered in tiny nooks and crannies that appear smooth when covered with liquid, and reflect light perfectly like a mirror. But when a golden tortoise beetle is agitated or under attack from a predator, it contracts the spaces between the layers of cuticle and forces liquid out of the grooves — doing away with the iridescence and usually revealing a brownish-orange color.
