“A Longitudinal Measurement Study of 4chan’s Politically Incorrect Forum and its Effect on the Web” [PDF] is the first UN-sponsored study of /pol/ let alone of 4chan in general
from the source links – body temperature drops with the onset of sleep, so sleeping in a cooler environment facilitates that process! and the weight of blankets provides physical pressure, which is perceived as relaxing~
In London 2010, a Nigerian couple gave birth to a blue eyed, blonde, white, non-albino baby. DNA tests confirms the mother and father are the biological parents. The parents have no known white ancestors. The doctors best guess is either that the mother and or father passed on dormant caucasian genes, or this is a new genetic mutation never before seen.

ok psa NOAA is literally livestreaming deep sea exploration footage from one of their submersibles!!! like right now!!! you can watch them discover parts of the ocean that NOBODY HAS EVER SEEN
an eel!!!!!!!!!!!
“he has no right swimming that fast in this cold of water. i don’t know what this guy is up to, but it’s rude” – an actual scientist on the NOAA okeanos exploration
ok they’re not streaming rn but they should be later this afternoon!!
they’re in the water again right now/currently descending (as of 3:30 PM CST/4:30 PM EST)
“oh, mm. those are not the right coordinates. i almost sent us into the cliff :)” i love NOAA scientists
they’re at the bottom!! octocoral
glass sponge with “a crinoid hat, [churlish giggle]” according to the scientists
cusk eel!
bonus: “i like corals better, they don’t run away from us”
they cannot decide which rock to pick for sampling this is absurd
a beautiful blue shrimp!!
“i can’t call it bob, i’ll call it bob and then scott will tell me it’s a female again”
“what is he doing to this poor coral? he’s tipped it over and he’s eating it, the darn guy!!”
Maybe none of these peeked your interest. Maybe you’ve been wanting to create an o.c, but never really knew how to start, or you just enjoy making O.C’s.
Hell, maybe you have a Gemsona/Transformers/Southpark character that you want to create, but don’t have the energy to draw!
This part of this list is specifically for OCs and Oc building. It can also apply to developing RP characters~
I added a couple of links-((In the appearance, details, and the whole of item names section!)), and the Gemsona area-((above)), as well as the couple of Transformers and Southpark character builder links below..Basically everything I made bold, because I am complete fandom trash…
Unfortunately this is not merely an @awwww-cute moment; this can cause numerous health concerns for rabbits. Rabbits do not need to be bathed, and it is strongly recommended to avoid soaking them.
Rabbits naturally do not sweat or bathe, and are meticulous groomers. Rabbit fur consists of a slick top coat and dense undercoat that
constantly sheds, making the fur self-cleaning.
By bathing a rabbit, both the undercoat and the skin are inevitably soaked.
Due to how dense a rabbit’s undercoat is, even when towelled off, it will trap water against
the skin. This makes the already sensitive rabbit skin even weaker and more prone to
abrasion and dander issues. The now damp rabbit may also become
hypothermic after the bath, just as walking around in damp clothes all
day will make a person cold. Therefore, bathing a rabbit, even with great care,
should be avoided whenever possible.
Furthermore, the process of bathing and drying off the rabbit can cause stress, which can cause the digestive tract to shut down (called GI Stasis). Rabbit digestive systems (and rabbits themselves) are quite fragile, and unless GI Stasis is treated in the
first few days, it is usually fatal. Sadly, it can take a day
or two to be certain that a rabbit is in GI stasis, so rabbits are typically beyond help by the time the problem is addressed. Domestic rabbits die from GI
Stasis more than any other cause.
If a rabbit truly needs to be cleaned by a person, wiping only the dirty parts with a damp towel should be sufficient. Please do not do as this video does!

the stereotype that women talk more than men is infinitely amusing to me because men are literally incapable of shutting the fuck up
i hope this post gets popular enough that i hurt a man’s feelings
It’s not a stereotype it’s a proven fact you femanazi piece of shit.
lmao there it is
You wanna talk proven facts? This shit’s been done, son: researcher Dale Spender in Australia used audio and video tape to independently evaluate who talked the most in mixed-gender university classroom discussions. Regardless of the gender ratio of the students, whether the instructor was deliberately trying to encourage female participation or not, men always talked more–whether the metric was minutes of talking or number of words spoken.
Moreover, men literally have no clue how much they talk. When Spender asked students to evaluate their perception of who talked more in a given discussion, women were pretty accurate; but men perceived the discussion as being “equal” when women talked only 15% of the time, and the discussion as being dominated by women if they talked only 30% of the time.
Spender’s conclusion, if I may parahprase: you only think we talk too much because you’d rather we were silent.
Don’t fuck with me, asshole, I’m a scientist.
Edit: I can’t believe I got her name wrong multiple times. The researcher in question is Dale Spender and the original publication of this research was called Man Made Language (1980).
