The Food Situation On Voyager Is So Fucking Dire Compared To Every Other Star Trek Series Like Their

Poor Jankom gets no love

This is a good point. I think it can also be applied to marine environments (it's not just the coral reefs that need saving)

something i've noticed. people seem to think the most nature-y nature is forests. so forests are always prioritized for conservation, and planting trees is synonymous with ecological activism. my state was largely prairies and wetlands before colonization. those ecosystems are important too. trees aren't the end-all be-all of environmentalism. plant native grasses. protect your wetlands.

I find community everywhere I go and I love and value that so much about my life, and as I have gotten older I have realized that this is not because I am the greatest con artist master manipulator alive hiding my evil heart and corrupted soul from everyone and coercing them through subterfuge into caring about me. Actually all I am is lovely

This is possibly the most wrong thing I have seen on a click bait article ever. The more you look, the worse it gets.

It claims to be an X-ray of a pregnant horse.

There are several faults with that assumption:

It is an old school film X-ray, about the size of an A4. It is no way big enough to X-ray an entire horse.

An X-ray machine big enough to X-ray an entire horse does not exist, and would pump out obscene amounts of radiation if it did.

That ‘horse’ is lying down. Good luck with that.

Something very creative is happening with its front legs, feet, hocks and skeleton in general.

It has no internal organs.

The thing it is ‘pregnant’ with is mostly situated within the thorax.

The thing it is ‘pregnant’ with appears to be a dog.

The ‘dog’ appears to be ‘pregnant’ with a cat.

The ‘cat’ appears to be ‘pregnant’ with… possibly a rat?

Hey. Why isn’t the moon landing a national holiday in the US. Isn’t that fucked up? Does anyone else think that’s absurd?

Mmpphh

Cybertronian Units of Time: a Guide

…concocted by me, via:

Canon Definitions

Most Common Terms Used in Fandom (that I have seen)

Most Common Interpretations of Aforementioned Terms

Math That Makes Those Terms Make Sense Together

Filling in the Blanks With What Sounded Good (to me)

So essentially I began with Cybertronian units with explicit definitions in canon that are also widely used in fandom (ie. Vorn = 83 years, Joor = 6 hours, Groon = 1 hour). I then worked my way out from those and tried to keep to rough factors of 6/8/10.

Some terms that did have explicit canon definitions had to be slightly skewed from their value (ie. Breem: 8 → 6 minutes, Klik: 8 → 6 seconds) if their definition contradicted another definition that made more sense/fit better. 

At any rate, obviously no one is obligated to use this standard, but canon Transformers content has been unfortunately… awful at establishing any universal units of time, their relationship to each other, or their equivalents to human units of time.

So this occasionally makes fanfiction an absolute nightmare for people like me with a crap memory who don’t want to constantly have to scroll through a thousand pages of the wiki to remind themselves what the hell a groon is.

So, naturally, I simply spent far too long whipping up this at-a-glance guide to keep track of it & on the off chance that the fandom might adopt it. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 

(PLEASE REBLOG THIS IF YOU LIKE IT SO THAT MORE FANS CAN SEE IT!)

How much love does the new Transformers show have?

Well, lets just say they included the animation errors in a frame redraw from the first Transformers intro.

G1

Earthspark

(The animators even went above and beyond by not drawing Soundwave's insignia.)

Ah...that sudden realisation that Earthspark could, despite being cute as heck, well turn out to be the darkest Transformers cartoon yet.

JUST SOME FAN THEORIES, BUUUT...

Megatron has be shadowplayed by Ghost, but doesn't realise it. In fact he probably thinks teaming up with the Autobots was his idea, but it wasn't.

Optimus not only knew about that, but he went along with it because he was desperate to end the war. I mean, it'd clearly gotten spectacularly nasty. Bee mentions starving bots, Soundwave being in such a bad way that one of his cassettes exploded when he tried to eject it. That's pretty damn grim, but who said only the Decepticons were effected like that. How many bots died, and what did Optimus really sacrifice to win the war?

OR

Both Megatron and Optimus have been shadowplayed and neither know it. Optimus as an attempt to control the Autobots and Megatron as an attempt to bring the Decepticons to heel. The latter didn't work, so they've resorted to capturing the Decepticons instead, with the intent of shadowplaying them all. Why? Potentially as a puppet army to use in defence against other Cybertronians...or just against them in general.

Starscream knows what's really going on, but when he tries to tell everyone nobody believes him. Because it's Starscream.

Anyone else think the arachnamechs look a bit like Quints? Just me?

Okay, the spacebridge is down, but there's no way the Autobots would just leave Optimus and the others there, surely? They have space travel tech, why haven't they sent a rescue party? Same with the Decepticons.

Oh, and my last fan theory? IF ANY CARTOON IS GOING TO GIVE US THE DJD THEN IT'S THIS ONE.
