the fact that we can’t drink sea water even tho its the most common type of water just bc its 3% salt yet we can safely consume multiple forms of literal poison and even benefit from doing so just blows my fucking mind
Peppers: Now that I have capsaicin, no mammal will eat me! ONLY BIRDS. THE BIRDS WILL SPREAD MY SEEDS.
Humans: oh my god this burns so good
Peppers: wut
poppies: at last, i have evolved my sap to the point where anything that eats me will sleep… FOREVER
humans who are about to invent painkillers: hey guess what
My math class was doing a statistics project where we measured the rate of a young boy’s still living body decaying. We collected data on how many of his vertebrae had been taken by birds, how many cm squared of his skin was covered in mushrooms, etc. Every time we went to collect data, he begged us to save him, but my teacher hurried us away. When I asked my teacher why we couldn’t help him, he just said, “Be grateful it isn’t you.”
I love how everyone is like “lol forgot to read the url” like the fact that this was a dream makes it less horrifying.
the legend of the Bakeneko is important to fully understand this!! The legend says that if a cat lives a very very long life, its tail will slowly split into two, and it will reach the status of a minor god!! … the downside is that its spirit will inevitably outlive its owners, whose spirits will move on to the afterlife, and without anyone to leave food offerings for it, it will become an angry and vengeful beast that haunts its home.
This man has two bakeneko following him. two cats that were well cared for and lived long lives, who now watch over him.
