Im Like Icarus But With Better Wings So I'll Never Fall

hey what about the cool things you know /genq

thank you so much for asking!!! i couldn’t decide what one to say so here’s three cool things i know

1. silphium is the name of an ancestor of the modern vegetable, fennel. it was used as a birth-control in ancient rome, but was driven to extinction, mostly due to being grazed upon by livestock. you also may hear some claims that it was a perfect magical side-effect free wonder-plant, but that’s just speculation and should not be taken as accurate. it’s still really cool to me though, it was so important to the time that it appeared on coins like this one ⬇️

2. the slow loris is the only venomous primate. its venom is a combination of the the more mild venom in its saliva and the more intense venom that it secretes from its forearms, it licks its forearms to create more intense than either of them. if a slow loris was to bite your hand it would hurt like hell and make your arm go numb, in some cases it has been known to kill, though mostly bc of anaphylactic shock. they also have no tail which makes them look really silly to me, little fella below ⬇️

3. moons of jupiter are named after jupiter/zeus’s children (and/)or lovers. there are 57 named moons (excluding names like “jupiter LIV" bc come on that doesnt count) and 97 confirmed moons in total. you can tell which moons are retrograde bc they end in “e”. prograde moons will end in “a” or “o”. the 4 largest of the moons are called the galilean moons bc galileo observed them, they are the most well known ones. those four are io, callisto, ganymede, and europa. i like europa bc it has a frozen over ocean and was the first one i ever learned about so here’s a picture of that below, mostly to fulfil my desire for consistency ⬇️

also keep in mind this was all of the top of my head, i double checked some things but mostly i was just remembering so take it all with a grain of salt, if something seems incorrect it might be. anyway that’s some cool things :) thanks for asking!!

love when pop artist rhyme crazy with baby, you’re so so right girl those ARE close enough

i always turn off whatever music im playing before i go to the bathroom because i am deeply paranoid that i will unintentionally pavlov myself into pissing myself whenever i hear that song. anyway, piss freaks are welcome to use this as a convoluted fic premise if they want.

i made the mistake of saying "stop showing me the flesh hat man" out loud and realising it fit the tune of the muffin man and now that's stuck in my head, thoroughly against my will

would you still love me if i posted nightcore leverage video edits

i had two puffs of a joint yesterday and today i cant feel my face at all

just remembered i had a dream last night where i was being chased by a murderer who looked really familiar and at some point he said “im going to get you” but in a really campy voice and then he almost stabbed me and as i barely missed the blade i screamed “ARE YOU TIM CURRY?” and he was and i spent the rest of the dream running away from him to avoid getting killed while screaming how i was a really big fan and i loved his work

white boy SHOCKS waiter by taking a full minute to stutter out an order and then crying until he throws up

fuck this shit.

baby girl, i get paralysed by decisions you wouldn’t even realise you were making 😎

actually the message of the matrix is that if a person deadnames you then you should explode them with your mind
