The Word
The Word
All at once, at an uncertain time, on an uncertain day, when no one quite knew what was going on, some people, no one knows how many, started to hear a word. They could not speak it, though they tried. It was as if their mouths became mute to that word alone. They tried to write it, for they were desperate to share, but they found no lettering in any language that conveyed it accurately. Some, those who could, attempted drawing it, painting it, dancing it, singing it, and even sculpting it, but all failed. The Word defied depiction.
It is noiseless, thoughtless, depthless, ceaseless, beginning less, touchless, all encompassing, tasteless, seen, unseen, start, end, nothing, everything, kindness, unkindness, life, death, all of these things, and none of these things. The word defied definition.
A few attempted to live the word through their actions. Some were kind to their fellow man. Giving away all that they had and more, working tirelessly to improve the lives of those around them. They built community, they built love, they built prosperity, and they built peace. Brick by brick, through the corroborative efforts of many people they built a home for all. Again, the word defied depiction.
Some attempted to violently carve the word into the flesh of those around them. Performing disturbing surgeries and mutilations on any they could. They killed, they brutalized, they broke people down, they built monsters from their flesh, and they baptized the world in blood. The word defied depiction.
The word has still never been shared to anyone other than those who heard it, on that uncertain day, at that uncertain time, and it never will be. They will all die with this secret, in utter agony at the thought that The Word dies with them.
No one will ever hear The Word again.

These 3D-printed prosthetics for children are given to them free of charge. (via @techthatmatters)⠀
⠀
Meet @teamunlimbited, a non-profit from the UK that’s on a mission to change the lives of children with missing limbs by helping them get custom 3D-printed prosthetics, free of charge.⠀
⠀
The innovative 3D-printed arm devices are designed to empower and inspire children to improve their confidence and courage. Each innovative 3D printed arm device is made by volunteers and gives a helping hand to remove the long-standing stigma around discussing disability.⠀
⠀
The prosthetics are cost-effective and easy to produce. They are fully parametric, thermo-formed 3D printed limbs that are light-weight, highly customizable and colourful. The average production cost is £30 (around $40) per arm. It’s a simple act of kindness that won’t get unnoticed.⠀
⠀
Team UnLimbited designs are attractive alternatives to the current, clunky and expensive, prosthetic options available. The designs are open source and freely available to anyone in the world with a 3D printer. On average, an arm takes 24 hours to complete.

Reblog for a larger sample size for no sample size at all, because obviously nobody will vote
I'm not sure who decided that this was a good idea but I would have to agree.

This gif contains what is probably my favorite background detail of Megamind. Megamind has just ordered Metroman’s death after trapping him in the copper dome. Of course, since it’s Megamind, it doesn’t work, and Metroman just stares at him. We learn later that Metroman faked his death, and used his super speed to wander around the town while having an existential crisis.
He first visits Megamind, having found his real hideout:
and then goes to the park, the library, a diner, etc, and finally, the Metroman museum:
before returning to the dome and faking his death.
Now, what’s really fun about the first gif is that, if you look closely, you can see Metroman fade slightly for two frames right after he rolls his eyes. If you look even more closely, you can see him in one frame standing behind Megamind, and in one frame on the upper deck of the museum. Look at it again. See the flicker?
I’ve slowed it down here to make them more obvious (though at the resolution it’s difficult to see him on the deck):
Screenshots, zoomed in a bit:
There is a bit of a continuity error, though. In the first gif, Metroman uses his superspeed while everyone is waiting for the death ray to work. But in Metroman’s retelling, he leaves while Megamind is yelling “FIRE!” to Minion. You can hear Megamind yell in this video:
So the fun of this detail is a little bit broken by the continuity error. But I think it’s an intentional continuity error, made at the points of drama in both scenes. I mean, look at this dynamic face that Megamind is making here. Pretty cool looking:
Anyway, there’s a fun fact about Megamind!
in order. Worm, Poggle, and Grongle
It looks like a Pee Pee in the second image.
Everyone should know the international sign for Help Me. Let’s make this famous!!
