You ever wonder how proud people are that they chase artists off the internet?
Proud they may make them suicidal?
Proud they tell people to kill themselves?
Proud that they extinguish one more flame that could grow into something amazing?
Proud that they do all sorts of mental gymnastics to become that soccer mom offended at everything?
I’d be ashamed

Bad part is it’s not even limited to one group.

Many of the hardcore “lol, mug crunge”, people will act the same way and revel in harassing artists and other content creators off the internet.

dad: the most unrealistic part of this is that the praying mantis is nocturnal

me: dad, it’s a giant mantis climbing on the white house

dad: but they’re never nocturnal!

a running tally of adorable things my 20-something year old math prof has said

donniesdonowitz

-“hold onto your hats, kids, we’re gonna do some algebra!!! ….what? that’s a saying! that people say!”
-“you know, they used to call richmond ‘fist city’. why are you laughing”
-“so, if you start your weekend with $250, and you end up sunday night with $10- stop laughing, you’re gonna understand adulthood soon enough.”
-“no, i can’t put my age in the spreadsheet, it’s gonna fuck up the results because you’re aLL 18 and i’m OLD!”
-“i’m sorry an old man yelled at you, but that happens in the city. you just gotta get used to old men saying mean things. they’re mean to me too.”
-him: “okay kids, someone tell me a joke while i erase the board”
me: “my life”
him: “you think your life is a joke now? just wait ‘til you’re a grad student. god i’m sad.”

donniesdonowitz

update:
-“you think you guys have it hard ‘cause you have to do a page of math homework? i have 10 credits worth of classes, which is a FULL LOAD for a grad student, my teaching job, my OTHER job… i haven’t slept in so long. who has coffee. no, fuck red bull i don’t drink that shit unless i’m desperate”
-“you know, space jam came on tv the other day. that’s one heck of a movie, kids”
-him: “you guys can call me whatever you want, honestly, as long as it’s not old man”
me: “who calls you that you’re like 25”
him: “I FELL ASLEEP WATCHING ONE MOVIE OKAY. ONE.”
-“i love my dog! he’s better than, well, most people actually”
-“i’m not smart just because i can do complex math in my head! ….okay maybe i am but my point is you can too someday”
-“you’re not bad at this just because you can’t figure out the problem! that’s why you’re in school. you gotta learn how to do it first! i believe in you!”
-“are you telling me none of you full grown 90’s kids know how to use an excel spreadsheet??? i take it back i don’t know if i can do this anymore”

donniesdonowitz

this got like 300+ notes in two days so here’s another update for y'all:
-“stop putting yourself down! you can do math! it’s easy for me because it’s my career path. you can do it, i promise.”
-him: “uh….. i really should’ve worked this problem out beforehand. i forget how to do it.”
ta: “dude aren’t you learning theoretical math? this is ALGEBRA”
him: “shhhhhhhhh”
-“google maps should be able to tell you how many douchebags are on your route. yes, ellie, i remember every instance you’ve told me about.”
-him: “try this problem out! it’s a pretty cool one, the answer took years to figure out.”
me, twenty minutes later: “…..there’s no solution is there”
him & his colleagues, cackling like gremlins: “NO!”
me: “you let me STRUGGLE for that long????”
them: “yeah it was really funny”
-him: “you have FOUR SHOTS of caffeine in your coffee…. is your heart gonna explode”
me: “actually, maybe, i forgot to take my heart meds this morning”
him, doing a perfect impression of the caveman spongebob meme: “WHAT THE FU C K ELL IE”

donniesdonowitz

-me: “bruh”
him: “don’t call me bruh”
me: “sorry dude”
him: “that’s better”
-“you know those old 90’s karate movies with the sensei that’s a complete asshole? i’d like to be like that, but for math. the asshole math sensei. that’s me”
-“i’m so old. do you even know what top gun is??? knowing space jam is one thing, but if you don’t know what top gun is i’m too old to be friends with you”

genesledges

we’ve almost reached 2k… time for another update
-me, getting my test back: “i hate myself”
him: “wait til you hit your mid-twenties. then that self hatred will really start solidifying”
-me: “so i /will/ pass out, but you don’t have to call an ambulance”
him: “you’ve been in my class for an entire month ellie. why do you wait to tell me important things? i get memes in my email but i don’t get to know important health concerns.”
-“apples are fun to throw at stop signs. what, i was young once”
-“i had GREAT sleep last night. like, four entire hours. god it was wonderful”
-him: “matrices really get me going”
me: “uh, what?”
him: “that means it makes you excited right?”
me: “yes but probably not the way you wanted to mean”

Theory: Nobody who writes a physics textbook gives any fucks

Evidence:

Update: Legolas’ pupils are about 3.5 cm wide each. Now drawing kawaii Legolas on physics assignment.

And they told you science was no fun.

colonelmagpie

Science!

colonelmagpie

I’m going to do it. I’m going to hand it in.

glumshoe

Legolas’s pupil size isn’t the problem here, though. 5 leagues is 17.262 miles. The curvature of the Earth means that for a person of average height, the visual horizon is less than three miles away. Even if your vision is telescopic and the atmosphere is perfectly clear, you can’t see around the planet. If they were standing on a hill, it would have to be at LEAST 198 feet above sea level in order to see the horizon at 17.2 miles away, with nothing tall in between. Which, knowing Rohan, isn’t impossible.

But consider: Elven satellite eyeballs.

@sidereanuncia it’s back, the post that I can only imagine haunts your nightmares

sidereanuncia

I shall never find peace.

Also, for what it’s worth, there’s absolutely no reason to believe that the curvature of Middle Earth is the same as that of Earth.

sindri42

There’s no evidence that Middle Earth curves.

solwardenclyffe

Yeah there is. The Silmarillion states that the world was curved after the fall of Numenor (I believe), preventing access to Valinor. But Elves (among others) can travel the straight path across it.

So middle earth is round, but not for Elves because magic.

sindri42

So wait, the reason he can see that far is because Elves just have the ability to ignore the curve of the earth? That’s awesome. It also means that no matter how good your optics got, you would always want elf eyes manning the spyglass because they can see arbitrarily far while everybody else is limited by this ‘horizon’ bullshit.
