Hey world, Dakota here! (also known as p0tat0s) I'm a graphic designer who loves moss covered trees, buzzing bees, museums, old theaters, dragonfly wings, videogames, and all other beautiful things!
Fuck self-sufficiency. It’s time for Interdependence. Always offer help and always accept it. Cook meals for the people you love. Grow fruits and vegetables and give them to your neighbors. The “independent” person is merely the perfect version of a Consumer, eating directly from the palms of Corporation. Fuck self-sufficiency. Need one another.
blending this with the common cruelty of your average person feels a little dangerous lol. people just aren’t nice anymore.
The Barbie movie reminded me about how when I was little my parents were upset that I kept making my Barbie dolls kiss, so they bought me a Ken doll. The next day they found me having a funeral for poor Ken in the garden, he had died of tuberculosis. All the Barbies were in attendance and I buried him under our rose bush. The Barbies were too poor to afford a headstone (it was 1875) so I didn’t mark where the grave was and I never could find him again. He’s probably still there.
i remember getting her for christmas when i was little. she was the only toy that was an actual paleontologist, not like a dino hunter or something. i treasured her 🩷🦕
im actually getting mad i feel like this is a sitewide troll
We must ratio the bowls as much as possible.
on a hamburger bun??? if I had to eat it on regular bread I’d be so sad
Trying to eat a sloppy joe in two slices of bread would be like trying to fuck an open garbage bag full of petroleum jelly.
… do yall not use a knife and fork for your sloppy joes???
WHAT
I genuinely thought this was a joke poll where everyone was arguing about made up food or something, but no, a sloppy joe seems to be basically beef mince in a burger bun. I assume it’s just not common outside of North America.
I don’t think I’ve ever considered serving mince in any form of bread before. Here in the UK I would only really ever have mince in a cottage pie (mince with mashed potato on top, don’t know if this is common in NA), or with pasta.
So ground beef and beef mince apparently have variations in regional meanings which is fun but I think the meaning is the same between the UK and USA, so like imagine a beef mince pie, like the crusty kind not potato, but basically no vegetables in a very mild to unspiced tomato sauce, then imagine the crust is a soft bread and it’s about 80% crust / bread, then you cut all the edges off so nothing is holding in the filling, and when you take a single bite or exert any pressure most of the sauce just spills out the edges and eating it is a race against time to see how much filling you can keep inside with your hands while you eat and then you kinda mop up the mess on the plate with your 100% empty last quarter of the bread because unless you can inhale the entire joe, slop and all, in a single bite, it goes everywhere.
Also anyone who can inhale a full joe’s worth of slop in one bite, call me.
>basically no veggies
Anyone who is making their sloppy joe filling without shredded carrots, bell peppers, and onion is wrong
In my defense I haven’t had one in about a decade.
My family has always put sloppy joes in hotdog buns 🤷🏽♀️
The Dublin spire isn’t a bad looking landmark per se but why does it look like it was specifically designed to pop blimps
It looks like whoever designed this hates balloons.
It’s a 120 meter tall stainless steel spike. Can’t go in it.
this looks like it was designed specifically so you could trip a kaiju and impale them with it
I used to hate it, but it actually makes more sense when you’re actually in/moving around Dublin lol.
Most buildings in Dublin are less than 5 storeys high, so you can see the Spire from most of the city centre, and get to the rest of the city from it fairly easily.
The Spire is designed so it works as a landmark you can see from almost anywhere.
Before Google Maps was really a thing, and even now it is, you could use it as a physical reference point to move around the city, and you’re kind of drawn to it one way or the other naturally. It’s kind of a giant IRL map pin.
That means there’s always a group of people at the base; teenagers meeting up with their buddies before setting off for the day, tour groups, folks from out of town just off the bus waiting their friends, and - my perpetual favourite - well dressed people with visible nerves trying to act cool as they wait for their dates.
So rather than a blimp defense system, think of it more like a spawn point.
Also when there’s a Star Wars movie they turn it into a lightsaber.
for those interested, this is a good example of how “Major structure you can see from everywhere” is a good thing for cities. The needle, though maybe not loved by everyone, is exactly as EJF says - a navigational reference point.
If you were ever lost, you could look for the needle and identify a major spot in the city. This can help avoid getting turned around (since you can track your direction in reference to a single point) , or provide a known spot to return to if you get disoriented.
This would also mean that if someone was new, they could learn the directions from the needle to where they were staying, and then travel the rest of the city with confidence that they can find their way back when they are done.
Water towers can serve a similar purpose in smaller towns, which is one of the reasons why they’re often kept, even when no longer used for storing water.
In conclusion, make fun of how it looks all you want, but this giant needle is now part of vital city infrastructure.
bisexual attraction is inherently queer! yes, even if one of those modes of attraction “seems” inherently heterosexual. it’s not! unless the individual chooses to label it as het, bisexual men being attracted to women is queer. bisexual women being attracted to men is queer. get used to it!
Say louder for those in the back … I like all my men queer, and my woman queer, and my nonbinary babies queer
gaslighting is literally the solution to guillermo’s problem. he just needs to one day be like “thank you so much for making me into a vampire last night nandor :D” and stick extremely hard to that bit, unshakeably
1,500 drones light up the sky over Shenzhen on June 22 with a flying dragon
this amazing display kicked off China’s Dragon Boat Festival, taking place on the 5th day of the 5th month of the Chinese calendar, commemorating the ancient poet Qu Yuan
