Of fucking course
What sick bastard doesn’t
A new type of poison has been discovered which does not bubble and produce green smoke in the shape of a skull. Please stay safe
The Japanese green syllid Megasyllis nipponica, is a bristle worm native from the coast of Japan, but now is know to live in coastal parts of California where is stablished. This little dance seen in the GIF have a reproductive reason, and researchers now explaing better what is happening, and you may not be prepared to this.
The brown and dancing body segment is called the stolon, which detaches from the worm in a unique reproductive process called stolonisation or schizogamy. When gonads are matured, the stolon developed a head, which even posses eyes, antennae and bristles, then the stolon can break off and swim away, to break apart to release eggs or sperm. This bizarre process continues before the stolon detaches when it develops nerves and a ‘brain’, allowing it to swim independently from the original body.

Three Suns is a sci-fi setting I’ve been making for use in roleplaying games like Mothership and Stars Without Number and maybe any other sci-fi system I find interesting.
The basic history is that by the year 2100 the Earth went to shit, in spite of greater investment into space than our own world and knowledge of extraterrestrial life, climate change still ravished the world. World War 3 started over dwindling resources and Earth’s colonies on the moon, Mars and the belt were cut off from Earth. These colonies eventually underwent enormous civil strife and warfare due to being cut off from needed resources from Earth.
In response to this, 3 projects were initiated to get out of dodge and settle other star systems: The Ararat, the Zheng He, and the Basilisk, though only the first two were proper generation ships, with the Basilisk being a data ship that I’ll talk more about later. These ships completed their journeys and the Ararat even went on to continue their journey and settle two more star systems before being retired after a failed attempt to conquer an alien civilization. All settled systems were more or less isolated from one another until the discovery of Slip Space in the late 2500s.
Slip Space is essentially your classic alternate universe used to travel at FTL speeds, however Slip Space is not empty and host to all sorts of things not allowed under the rules of our reality. In essence, it’s the source of weird SCP shit you’d see in your average Mothership module and also the reason people are placed under cryostasis during FTL trips. Despite this, Slip Space FTL has allowed the previously isolated star systems to contact one another in a matter of months.
However, the Sol and Alpha Centauri systems have rebuilt themselves drastically differently than those settled by generation ships, with the former abandoning capitalism and adopting ideologies inspired by anarchism and socialism and the latter retaining capitalism and perceiving themselves as the last true successors to the old UN. Naturally this has led to conflict that has led to both factions scrambling to use Slip Space for resources, prestige and simply denying their rivals access to nearby star systems. Now it’s the year 2626 AD, you are one of the poor schmucks sent into the void risking death and worse to explore new frontiers and get paid.
What does it say, nandi?
ok i’ve got a hypothetical for tumblr. my girlfriend thinks they would only need two nails to crucifiy an among us, a la jesus style, because one nail could go through the head and one nail could go through both the legs. but i think you would need three nails, because i think among us’s legs are too stubby to cross, and use one nail for the both of them. so youd have to use three nails in total, one for each of the legs and one for the head.
when I was a kid for some reason I thought Lola Bunny's last name was "Rabbit" and that she was actually Jessica and Roger's daughter. And the reason she wasn't in the original Loony Tunes is just that she wasn't born yet
I mean can you blame me. Look them and look at her. She's got a good blend of both of their features.
Your analog horror about the all consuming flesh and the sinister broadcast altering entities is not gay enough and i am not fucking joking
