a guy walks in with two puncture wounds on his neck like “u should see the other guy” and then a vampire walks in covered in those cartoony lipstick kiss marks
dont know why but whenever i picture the primordial soup its like 5ft deep MAX
the ocean just got A LOT deeper between now and the cambrian period somehow and im going to find out why even if it kills me
good news! the primordial soup was either in tide pools (which a few inches to feet deep) or around thermal vents (which are usually super deep), so there’s a 50/50 chance you’re right
The whole nft thing is miles funnier than the broader cryptocurrency thing because nfts are about paying out of your asshole to buy a picrew illustrated by someone whose sole exposure to the art world at large was via viral animated cartoons uploaded onto ebaumsworld
Like don’t get me wrong, attempting to own a jpeg is hilarious enough, but I cannot stress enough how fucking ugly these things are. Imagine paying a mortgage for a bitmoji designed by someone whose sole job is like, drawing the cast of The Big Bang Theory in the Family Guy style
My favorite part is watching people instantly getting art-thief bots to steal these “$8k NFTs only mine do not steal!!!” and put them on cheap t-shirts
My favourite harmless prank I’ve heard of was done by this girl whose dad was a geologist, and they’d go on day hikes with his geologist friends/co-workers and when she got bored on them she’d habitually pick up a random rock and go ask him what it is, and one of them would explain what kind of a rock that is, how it probably got here, and usually some notions of the more unusual features the rock had, if any.
And she had a friend who had once gone on a tourist trip to Iceland and brought back a volcanic rock. So she borrowed the rock and took it with her on the hike, and after two randomly picked up “hey dad what rock is this”, she presented the volcanic rock, in the same fashion as all the others.
3 minutes later there are five middle-aged and older men circled around this mysterious rock, all agreeing on what it is, but not why it is. They keep asking her questions, where did she find it? Were there any other rocks around there that looked like it? Was it like this on the ground? People walking past the group try to stretch their necks to see over the geologists’ shoulders to see what’s the source of such amazement.
And in the end she couldn’t take it anymore, burst into laughter and confessed. The geologists agree that it was pretty clever.
