So oh my god, so I’m on Spotify on my tablet, and there is a small option at the bottom of the player that will make you choose to choose where to cast Spotify to play on, I always see my PS4, but I see a Google Cast device listed now and I’m tempted to play some music and play it on this random Google Cast (I guess it’s from someone else’s house) I really wanna do it oh my god and see what happens
I created a whole new account with a disposable email and created a playlist filled with memes for this. im ready.
Update, im playing Spin Me Right Round, I also played Mad World and Gangnam Style so far, there has been no pauses nor has it disconnected yet
THERE HAS BEEN A PAUSE. THEY HAVE PAUSED. SO CONFIRMATION SOMEONE IS LISTENING. Stopped when I was playing ‘In Da Club’ I have resumed it and skipped it to The Next Episode
In fear of it probably disconnecting soon, I’m gonna play My Time Is Now
20 seconds into All Star playing on spotify chromcast and chill and they disconnect you
THEY FU C KING FOUND MY PS4 ON THE NEARBY DEVICES LIST AND NOW THEY ARE PLAY I NG THEIR FUCKING MEME MUSIC ON ME
THEYRE FUCKING PLAYING THE FRESH PRINCE OF BEL AIR THEME IM SCREAMING
THEYVE PLAYED FRESH PRINCE NEVER GONNA GIVE ME UP SANDSTORM AND NOW THEY’RE PLAYING THE THEME TO 1960 SPIDERMAN
They played Bring me to life and now they’re playing See You Again. I think the mystery spotify person is playing their last song for me.
They have disconnected from my PS4 and now it is just silence. Always Remember the amazing mystery spotify player. I enjoyed our time meme’ing. This is forever a highlight for me.
Penguin falls down resulting in best sound ever [x]
oh my god
NOOOOOOO
they all gasped like OHHH
IM CRYING IM PHYSICALLY CRYING HE FALLS AND THERE ALL LIKE WHAAAAWHOA U OK BRO AND HE GETS UP LIKE *SIGH* YEAH ITS FINE
Having a bad day? push play, and within six seconds all you will feel is tears of laughter streaming down your face and the stomach cramps of laughing too hard.
This is one of the finest things ever captured on film.
I’ve watched this video so many times, always unable to decide what my favourite aspect is, but I think on reflection it’s the fact that the concerned noise the other penguins make when their friend falls down sounds exactly like a chorus of broken kids’ party whistles.
Update: Legolas’ pupils are about 3.5 cm wide each. Now drawing kawaii Legolas on physics assignment.
And they told you science was no fun.
Science!
I’m going to do it. I’m going to hand it in.
Legolas’s pupil size isn’t the problem here, though. 5 leagues is 17.262 miles. The curvature of the Earth means that for a person of average height, the visual horizon is less than three miles away. Even if your vision is telescopic and the atmosphere is perfectly clear, you can’t see around the planet. If they were standing on a hill, it would have to be at LEAST 198 feet above sea level in order to see the horizon at 17.2 miles away, with nothing tall in between. Which, knowing Rohan, isn’t impossible.
But consider: Elven satellite eyeballs.
you mean like
@sidereanuncia it’s back, the post that I can only imagine haunts your nightmares
I shall never find peace.
Also, for what it’s worth, there’s absolutely no reason to believe that the curvature of Middle Earth is the same as that of Earth.
There’s no evidence that Middle Earth curves.
Yeah there is. The Silmarillion states that the world was curved after the fall of Numenor (I believe), preventing access to Valinor. But Elves (among others) can travel the straight path across it.
So middle earth is round, but not for Elves because magic.
So wait, the reason he can see that far is because Elves just have the ability to ignore the curve of the earth? That’s awesome. It also means that no matter how good your optics got, you would always want elf eyes manning the spyglass because they can see arbitrarily far while everybody else is limited by this ‘horizon’ bullshit.
Oh thank God, my poor elf prince has seen too much in this post
Elves are flat-earthers
This post went from amusing to horrifying, to be brought back down to amusing, sprinkled in with some cannon explanation, and then you leave me here in fucking outrage
concept: the year is 2034. i walk into work with coffee in hand. coworker is wearing cool shoelaces and i compliment them absentmindedly. they look me dead in the eye and say, “thanks, i stole them from the president.” scalding coffee leaks out of every one of my orifices and i hide in the bathroom convulsing for the rest of the day
it is physically painful to remember that people have continued to join tumblr since 2012 and that there are people–perhaps people reading this! right now!!!–who don’t have the foggiest memory of this fucking post. this post haunted me, do you understand, i saw and heard this code used in REAL FUCKING LIFE, I CANT FKJCLNG HANDLE THIS
So I’m on the TV Tropes page for “Small Taxonomy Pools” and it reads like it was written by the saltiest troop of biologists ever. It’s a fucking gold mine of taxonomical nerd rage. Observe:
(not quite one time I accidentally saw a truly godawful Weather Channel disaster movie thing that used the name of an archaeal taxon but literally everything they said about it was wrong and also they didn’t mention the word archaea so still technically correct)
DID I WRITE THIS ENTIRE TVTROPES PAGE WHILE SLEEPWALKING?!?!?!
Roses are red, that much is true, but violets are purple, not fucking blue.
I have been waiting for this post all my life.
They are indeed purple, But one thing you’ve missed: The concept of “purple” Didn’t always exist.
Some cultures lack names For a color, you see. Hence good old Homer And his “wine-dark sea.”
A usage so quaint, A phrasing so old, For verses of romance Is sheer fucking gold.
So roses are red. Violets once were called blue. I’m hugely pedantic But what else is new?
My friend you’re not wrong
About Homer’s wine-ey sea!
Colours are a matter
Of cultural contingency;
Words are in flux
And meanings they drift
But the word purple
You’ve given short shrift.
The concept of purple,
My friends, is old
And refers to a pigment
once precious as gold.
By crushing up molluscs
From the wine-dark sea
You make a dye:
Imperial decree
Meant that in Rome,
to wear purpura
was a privilege reserved
For only the emperor!
The word ‘purple’,
for clothes so fancy,
Entered English
By the ninth century
.
Why then are voilets
Not purple in song?
The dye from this mollusc,
known for so long
Is almost magenta;
More red than blue.
The concept of purple
is old, and yet new.
The dye is red,
So this might be true:
Roses are purple
And violets are blue
.
While this song makes me merry, Tyrian purple dyes many a hue From magenta to berry And a true purple too.
But fun as it is to watch this poetic race The answer is staring you right in the face: Roses are red and violets are blue Because nothing fucking rhymes with purple.
