This has been in my likes since last year. It is time.
This is the 21st night of September skeleton. He only appears once a year.
I remember wondering if I should post this last year because tf2 models but I decided not to and I regretted it ever since SO HERE YOU GUYS GO HAPPY SEPTEMBER 21ST
why is it that when a woman and a man get married, the woman can have as many bridesmaids as she can possibly fit into a single aisle, but the man only gets to have one (1) best man. he’s even called the BEST MAN. why does the groom have to choose between his friends? how does he even choose?? how do his other friends feel when they find out they are NOT his best, most favorite-est man. I’m not even a man and this is giving me anxiety
It’s based off how weddings were back in the day and some myths. Basically the best man wasn’t originally needing to be best friend they were the best swordsman the groom could get to stop someone who loves the bride from interrupting the wedding. And bridesmaids were originally wearing matching dresses as the bride and all in vails so demons couldn’t tell who the bride was and wouldn’t get her
this is the most metal thing I’ve ever heard oh my god
“I’ve hired a guy to kill whoever would try to ruin our special day! :)” “oh neat, I’ve found a swarm of my closest friends willing to sacrifice themselves for me in case demons show up!” “ohh nice!!”
weddings are way more life-or-death-y than I thought, I suddenly have an urge to get married
I love how humans have literally not changed throughout history like the graffiti from Pompeii has people from hundreds of years ago writing stuff like “Marcus is gay” “I fucked a girl here” “Julius your mum wishes she was with me” and leonardo da vinci’s assistants drew dicks in their notebooks just for the banter and mozart created a piece called “kiss my ass” so when people wish for ‘today’s generation’ to be like ‘how people used to’ then we’re already there buddy we’ve always been
The Hagia Sophia has inscriptions that were considered sacred for centuries until they were deciphered in the 70s to be Nordic runes saying “Halfdan wrote this”
my old english prof told us that theres a cave in Scandinavia where a viking gratified some runes like 14 feet up on the wall and when they finally reached it all it translated into was “this is very high”

Now on the History Channel
‘People have literally just always been people’ is genuinely my favorite fact about the world
“Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book.” – Marcus Tullius Cicero, 106 BC – 43 BC
We’re a bunch of apes who are afraid of seeing each other naked on a little spec of dust, floating around a fiery dot, working 8 hours a day for a few pieces of trees that we’ve turned into rectangles
Ever wonder how poachers make a living? Fielding questions from patrons at the Canadian National Exhibition answered that quite clearly for me.
Without exaggeration, we were seriously asked somewhere around 100 times for tiger claws, rhino horns and elephant tusks. Almost the entirety (if not the entirety) of requests were from Asian and Southeast Asian individuals, including a uniformed police officer! Every time we asked why, we’d be greeted with sheepish smiles and replies such as “luck” or “energy”.
For the first half of the show I’d try to rationally explain why these shouldn’t be purchased based on the principles of conservation. Every time their eyes would glaze over and they’d either walk away mid-explanation or wait for me to shut up before saying “so, how much money would it take to get one?”
Needless to say, I got fed up and it was time for a NEW STRATEGY!
Whenever people asked for one, I’d get all wide-eyed and exclaim, “OH NO!! BAD ENERGY!! You don’t want to bring that danger into your life and around your family!!”
Every time it caught the person completely by surprise and they’d beg for more information.
“They used to be considered lucky but the energy has now shifted! Too much **insert endangered animal** blood has been spilled into the Earth and it has angered the spirit world! THEY ARE NOW CURSED!”
When they asked what brings good luck, I told them Inuit and First Nation products when collected with permits.
“If you want your claws and tusks to have balance and good energy, you must only buy from those who live in harmony and balance with nature”.
You’d be damn surprised how often that worked. I hate providing unscientific information but sometimes you have to fight superstitious bullsh*t with superstitious bullsh*t!
I’ve said this before and I’ll point it out again –
Menstruation is caused by change in hormonal levels to stop the creation of a uterine lining and encourage the body to flush the lining out. The body does this by lowering estrogen levels and raising testosterone.
Or, to put it more plainly “That time of the month” is when female hormones most closely resemble male hormones. So if (cis) women aren’t suited to office at “That time of the month” then (cis) men are NEVER suited to office.
If you are a dude and don’t dig the ladies around you at their time of the month, just think! That is you all of the time.
And, on a final note, post-menopausal (cis) women are the most hormonally stable of all human demographics. They have fewer hormonal fluctuations of anyone, meaning older women like Hilary Clinton and Elizabeth Warren would theoretically be among the least likely candidates to make an irrational decision due to hormonal fluctuations, and if we were basing our leadership decisions on hormone levels, then only women over fifty should ever be allowed to hold office.
Reblogging hard for that last comment.
I WANTED TO SAY THIS BUT THEN SOMEONE ELSE DID and I’m damn proud.
