wow someone finally wrote a book on clock fetishes

it’s about fucking time

you know the first time i reblogged this i hadnt actually noticed the pun. like i just thought that… someone had actually genuinely irl written a book about clock fetishes, and OP was expressing a sort of…. sarcastic the-world-sure-is-full-of-humans type sentiment?? i reblogged it with this assumption in complete sincerity. i realised it was a pun like the fourth time it came on my dash. i dont know whether im more disappointed in myself for being such a fool or in the world for my perception of it having been incorrect

it’s about having secs

This terrifying eel-robot will perform maintenance on undersea equipment

Nope.

sweet

who are you calling terrifying this is clearly a friend of the highest quality

all yall with ur “uwu smol friend” bullshit gonna let us walk right into the fucking robot apocalypse someone could make a metal gear in real life and youd all say its adorable

this is exactly the kind of shit im talking about when i say i have no patience for people who look at robots and immediately start thinking about terminator shit. why is this terrifying? because it looks like a snake? so the fuck what? the reason robots are made to look like existing organisms is because those organisms have a several million year head start on robotics engineers on solving problems like how to move in water while expending minimal energy or how to walk over uneven terrain while carrying a heavy load.

it’s also really telling that people are much more scared of these organic robots that fall into the uncanny valley than they are of drones, which are robots that currently exist and have been killing people for several years. if a “robot apocalypse” does end up happening, it wont be due to organic-looking robots suddenly achieving sentience and deciding to wipe out all life on earth, it’ll be because some rich asshole or a war-hungry country sees new technology with the potential to kill people and harnesses it for that purpose, which has already happened several times over the course of human history.

tl;dr: stop opposing technological advancements with massive potential for good because you watched Terminator once, also this snake is cute and a friend

i was joking but honestly? this is a Hot Take

Baby Blacktip Reef shark!

One day that tiny baby will be a big shark able to rip people to shreds

most blacktip reef sharks are no more than 5.5ft long when mature. not only that, blacktip reef sharks are timid and shy, with no fatal human attacks documented. don’t comment stuff like this on my posts, save it for another post and stay off mine. thanks
