Todoroki Keeps Getting Portrayed As Someone Who’s Quite Aloof And Detached When He’s About 5 Seconds

Sì, sto cercando disperatamente di non pensare alle elezioni

Sogno un giorno di scrivere un romanzo famoso. Ma famoso in tutto il mondo, famoso che lo leggono pure in Tibet, famoso che ci scrivono le fanfiction.

E lo voglio rendere così dolorosamente e realmente italiano da far soffrire chiunque fuori da qui perché “HO TROPPE COSE DA IMPARARE PER POTERCI SCRIVERE FANFICTION!!1!!1”

Li voglio vedere dannarsi per capire come viaggiare per la penisola, capire come funziona la scuola, capire come funziona la burocrazia, capire come funziona la nostra vita e basta.

Mi sono rotta di questo mondo fandomico fatto al 90% da stereotipi anglo-americani.

Voglio gli americani che vanno sul sito della Sapienza per capire come funziona la nostra università, scandagliare la rete per sapere come si chiama la marca più famosa di gel per capelli, studiare cosa sono le merendine del Mulino Bianco, spulciare la programmazione RAI per sapere cosa vediamo la sera.

E poi voglio gli italiani che li prendono a vergate virtuali urlando NON AVETE CAPITO NIENTE ogni volta che scrivono qualche cazzata.

Vojo er panico.

Ooooh

Made for my embassy duties with @hetaliafandomhub and because I keep seeing “Antonio Carriedo” in stories, RP threads, tags, posts, etc. 

Guys, use Fernández or give him a VERY good and emotionally traumatic reason (such as an Grade A asshole dad) to avoid his first surname. 

Specially because I think Hima mentioned that Fernández was chosen in this case after king Ferdinand, so like… the feels. 

(1+9^(-4^(7*6)) )^(3^(2^85))

Contains all digits from 1-9, which is trivial, but kinda cool.

It’s also a good approximation to e, which is pretty exciting.

If I told you it was correct to four billion, sixty seven million and thirty five decimal digits, would you believe me?

Well you shouldn’t, because it’s actually correct to 18,457,734,525,360,901,453,873,570 decimal digits, which is way more than it ever should be.

Part 1:  X

I desperately need the drawing practice, so I’m going to finish this  ೕ(•̀ㅂ•́ )

Do nothing in your life that will cause you to fear if it is discovered by your neighbor.

I started binge watching cooking movies on Netflix and I think Francis as a scary, French trained chef trying to create a better kitchen environment from the one he was trained in but sometimes failing is a good daydream journey. Also I think angry chef Francis is scary enough to be intriguing. And that’s all my thoughts on that for now. 

So the other night during D&D, I had the sudden thoughts that:

1) Binary files are 1s and 0s

2) Knitting has knit stitches and purl stitches

You could represent binary data in knitting, as a pattern of knits and purls…

You can knit Doom.

However, after crunching some more numbers:

The compressed Doom installer binary is 2.93 MB. Assuming you are using sock weight yarn, with 7 stitches per inch, results in knitted doom being…

3322 square feet

Factoring it out…302 people, each knitting a relatively reasonable 11 square feet, could knit Doom.

The Dinosaur That Wasn't A Hoax

In 2017, a new dinosaur was discovered – but many thought it was just a fake. You see, the dinosaur’s remains made it appear the species lived both on land and in water, a very rare thing. Also it was originally found and sold to the black market in Mongolia. Not exactly the history to inspire confidence in an upstanding scientist. But eventually it was all sorted out, the new dinosaur was named, and so here’s what we know so far about this new species.

The animal was closely related to the Velociraptor and lived around 75 million years ago. Its name was Halszkaraptor escuilliei, named after paleontologist Halszka Osmolska and fossil collector Francois Escuillie. The dinosaur’s physical characteristics were weird. It was about the size of a mallard, had razor-sharp claws, a duck-billed snout, and a long swan-like neck. Although it could run on land, it displayed many traits typical of amphibious creatures that are found today in modern birds and reptiles.

Despite its appearance and amphibious lifestyle, Halszkaraptor escuilliei is not a distant descendent of modern birds. Paleontologists therefore believe that a Halszkaraptor escuilliei is the start of a previously unknown subfamily! Pretty neat for a species that started its journey to discovery on the black market.

A Bank? A Pub? The Irish Don't See The Difference

In 1970, the entire banking system in Ireland went on strike. But the country was not crippled. Pubs stepped up – after all, pub owners were very familiar with whether a patron could pay up or not. The strike ended six months later, and everything went on, the Irish economy basically unhurt.

What Was The First Available Antibiotic?

To my surprise, it is not penicillin! Instead it was an antibiotic named Prontosil. Developed in the 1930s in Nazi Germany, by Bayer, it was a clever impostor that mimicked bacteria’s food: they ate prontosil and starved to death. Prontosil and drugs derived from it saved millions of lives up till the 1960’s. Its creator, Gerhard Domagk, was awarded the Nobel Prize for his efforts.
