sometimes i forget most people don’t know that birdhouse shapes aren’t just for shits and giggles and that birds actively prefer and even need specific shapes to nest in

So which ones need the Frank Lloyd Wright ass houses?

the ones that make 240,000$ a year by making other birds work in their warehouse for 5 sunflower seeds an hour

Ok so I was curious about that fucking deathtrap and I noticed a couple… oddities.

A promotional image of the OceanGate Titan submersible. It is a white cylindrical machine with a single domed window on the front and a conical tail.ALT

Alright so this thing is pretty stupid; I’m not at all familiar with submersible vessels, But it activated a sleeper gene in my skull from my time being obsessed with a certain video game.

So I decided to check the promotional page for the contraption.

A screenshot from the oceangate webpage promotional blurb regarding the titan. It reads:  Titan 5-Person Submersible | 4,000 Meters "Titan" is a Cyclops-class manned submersible designed to take five people to depths of 4,000 meters (13,123 feet) for site survey and inspection, research and data collection, film and media [...]ALT
A screenshot from the OceanGate webpage promotional blurb regarding the titan. It reads:  Development and Innovation Project Cyclops  Project Cyclops was born out of OceanGate’s appreciation for the complexity of subsea environments and the need for a diverse set of tools and technology to address operational requirements below 500 meters. Through strategic partnerships, OceanGate applies the latest [...]ALT

(I’m going to put aside the second image, where they state the previous shit they hammered out had a 500 meter depth limit tops (i.e. that they, at best, made something that could get to 500 meters then decided that meant they could handle making something that could handle 8 times that). Thinking about the fact they brag about this so brazenly hurts my head. Back to the topic at hand.)

Ok so google shows “cyclops class” is not. a thing that exists. But it sure is funny they keep saying that word. Again maybe it’s just my stupid video game brain but that doesn’t seem to be used in this context anywhere else. Then I saw the renders.

A 3D render image of the OceanGate Titan submersible. It is similar to the finished machine. The most noticeable changes are that the domed port being painted to resemble the cornea of a human eye (with the porthole being positioned as its pupil) and the text on it reads "OceanGate Cyclops 2"ALT
A 3D render image of the OceanGate Titan submersible. It is similar to the finished machine. The most noteworthy change is the full-glass front dome, in contrast to the single porthole mounted at the front of the actual ship.ALT

Ok the newer one on the left really loves that “single eye” thing and looks silly enough, but the older one is…. ok. I give up. That’s Subnautica. That’s Subnautica For Real.

A screenshot of the Cyclops submarine from the video game Subnautica. It is a white metal tube with a domed glass bubble at the front which serves as a viewport and a conical tail.ALT

They built their goddamn suicide death trap based on a submarine in a videoed game.

A screenshot of two Tumblr comments from user @mallk-z. The first one reads: "Other way around. Subnautica credits ocean gate for letting them model the cyclops after their subs", the second one reads: "You can even see a little blurb in the end credits of the game if you wanna check it out for yourself"ALT

No Fucking way. There’s no fucking way. There’s no fucking chance that–

A screenshot of the credits from the game Subnautica. One of the lines reads: "CYCLOPS® is a registered trademark of OceanGate, Inc. and is used under license."ALT

I’m speechless.

Oh if only we could see the faces of the developers when the news dropped.

This looks like a fucking parody post, or an edgy edit, but it’s 100% official real Flintstones.

Clarification: I don’t hate this book, I love it, it’s amazing. It’s just that taking a step back and looking it out of context is still really funny. Especially the line “We participated in a genocide, Barney.”

ok but imagine them in their cartoon forms saying this dialogue i’m

can we have some context to this, perhaps?

Bedrock is having a mayoral election. One of the candidates is a violent war mongering asshole that riles people up against the lizard people. This reminds Fred and Barney of their time in the army.

Back then the father of said violent candidate was riling people up against the “tree people”. Fred, Barney, and other soldiers fought what they believed to be a defensive measure against the tree people. Turns out, it was actually an invasion, in order to kill off the tree people and take over their forest to build Bedrock.

That’s what Fred means when he says he and Barney participated in a genocide. They literally did.

(Extra fun fact, Barney adopted a tree person baby after the war, and his son Bamm-Bamm is the last tree person.)

homunculus-argument:

Tumblr is so funny because you can make a post like “hey do not mix bleach and vinegar in your cleaning, you’ll make chlorine gas and you do not want to make chlorine gas. It is dangerous to mix these two specific chemicals together”, and the comments are like

“Um vinegar isn’t dangerous?? My mom cleans things with vinegar all the time and we have never had lung issues. White people are insane.” (<- does not use bleach, missing the point)

“OH MY GOD BLEACH IS CHLORINE GAS? NOBODY EVER TOLD ME I’VE BEEN CLEANING WITH BLEACH MY WHOLE LIFE, I WILL DIE.” (<- has literally never used vinegar in cleaning, and never mixed the two, missing the point)

“This is just stupid fearmongering, we use bleach and vinegar to wash the floors all the time, OP is lying.” (<- does not actually know what “vinegar” is, and is confusing the word for something else)

“Yeah this is true enough but also keep in mind that this kind of household cleaning product chlorine gas is too weak and unreliable to use for domestic terrorism purposes.” (<- raises concerns, but potentially has a point)
