this is legendary because you as you go you see the photo itself and you’re “oh this is some symbolic / surrealist art” and then the TITLE hits you like a shotgun shell
In case you were unaware, Moby Dick is one of the foundational texts of cosmic horror. The White Whale is a god, maybe even The God. And Ahab Hates Him.
Please make sure to reblog this with the explanation you guys:
The toddler doesn’t know Alexa is a name; as far as they’re concerned it’s a word that makes things happen. If the kid was saying “please play baby shark” it would mean literally the same thing to them because they don’t really understand language yet.
The toddler is mimicking adult behavior because they have seen adults say things that start with “Alexa” and have learned that starting a request with “Alexa” makes it more likely to be fulfilled. This kid has learned something about how their world works purely through observation! This isn’t a bad thing! It’s just been misapplied and it’s up to the parents to correct their speech as they grow enough to understand the difference.
That is absolutely an accurate assessment about what is technically happening from a language development perspective
That the child is holding his mother’s face and speaking into her eyes the magic command that makes things happen does not make this any less of a horror story
A post crosses your dashboard “you all are still following this person?” Below it is a series of Discord screenshots, “receipts” they call them. You can’t tell what you’re supposed to be offended about, you can’t even tell which person in the convo is the one OP is referring to. You can’t even tell if the people in the conversation are arguing or agreeing with each other. You squint at the wall of text. Your eyes cross, letters line up with one another like those books you had as a child. A mass emerges from the pattern, writhing, staring, incomprehensible. Through the gaps in its limbs you see cities growing, continents rising, lives extinguishing and being forgotten. Your eyes snap to. You reblog the post because OP has made it clear that you hate trans people if you don’t.
did i tell u guys i got into an argument on twitter bc i said foxes are dogs and someone tried to bring up their actual fuckin. classification or whatever and i just said “foxes are dogs cause they are fluffye” and they kept arguing with me. the entire time i was like “you will not survive the immigration to tumblr you are lucky we are not there right now”
This is especially funny because they aren’t even right. Foxes *ARE* dogs.
Don’t get me wrong the USA is a hell country and most of what is considered usamerican culture is a fucking NIGHTMARE and a lot of us are suffering both in and out of the country bc of it but. There’s certain things that people outside of the USA make fun of and not in a jovial way that I’m like hmm. Fucka you actually
“why are the food and drink proportions so big” why shouldn’t they be??? What’s so bad about nobody feeling like they’re still hungry and also often times it’s with the intention of having leftovers bc you’re not expected to clean your plate at restaurants. Also who doesn’t like a large beverage????
“americans are so FAT and LOUD and CHEERFUL” yeah and our meat is also fucking huge. got any other cool and rad things about us???
“ugh [insert food that is usually either southern food or immigrant food but especially biscuits and gravy for some fucking reason???] Looks so gross and unhealthy why would you eat that??” Because it’s fucking good and tasty what’re you talking about
“why would you take a road trip???” Well historically it’s because due to the infastructure and lack there if that was established in the 1940s and continues to this day road trips are often the cheapest and most accessible form of travel and they come with the added practically that depending on what supplies you bring what season it is and what car you have you can sleep in said car during the journey which is an added level of both convenience and cuts down on costs further.
For most people though it’s because it’s fun go grab a bunch of snacks and a friend or two and go some place it rules
