Can we talk about the fact that every time anybody is asked “what would you do if you won the lottery”, everybody’s first and immediate response is “Pay off all my debt”. It’s not “buy a sports car”, “go on vacation”. First response is always “pay off all my debt”
Like America’s citizens are so damn poor that people literally have to fantasize about winning the lottery in order to not be in debt anymore.
That’s so sad and pathetic of America. Richest country in the world and people have to fantasize about winning an impossible game in order to live the standard American dream.
lol guilting artists u call friends to try to make them make u art is shitty pass it on
this is probably y a lot of artists seem very distant btw
and honestly its a bunch of similar stories so maybe instead of trying to make someone else make you something pick up a pencil and draw yourself some hella free art
thatoneirishfangirl-deactivated asked: What is your opinion on the FineBros React World idea? I know they took the video down but I'm curious if you had heard about the whole thing or not.
I think everyone has heard about it by now. I tend not to comment on these things because drama follows it and a lot of what I say could be misunderstood. I also never know all the info as it happens and the internet is gullible.
I will say I didn’t like the idea of what they were doing and it was very very poorly communicated and arrogant in a way. The whole idea and execution was a mess. It was a very scary thought for youtubers and a very dangerous path to go down the trademarking route.
Im glad they have cancelled their plans for it and have rescinded all trademarks. Its a shame it took losing a tonne of subs and internet backlash to do it instead of them having the foresight to know it was a bad idea. Hopefully they learn from it.
I also hope the witch hunt will stop now. They did a bad thing, suffered consequence but tried to fix it. More blood doesnt need to be spilled. People relishing over them losing subs and hosting livestreams of the numbers dropping is cruel and over the top. Also people insulting them for their looks or being jewish are scum and taking it way too far. Hopefully we can all just move on now.
I think they showed their true colours and will never be trusted again. Their whole series was built around exploiting content creators and has ended with attempting to exploit content creators.
I love the fact science has proven plants are living, feeling, social things, that communicate and warn each other of danger, the same way many prey and group animals do, it actually makes this argument invalid.
Also a typically thing, those plant they eat? Well, on average, animals die to collect them, it’s common place for rabbits to get mutilated.
They recently discovered some plants make sound and a couple even communicate with sound. Corn uses a clicking sound to guide vertical stalk growth.
They’ve discovered Venus Fly Traps can count to 5.
They’ve discovered plants have memories and can tell time.
Plants recognize their relatives and will deliberately develop smaller root systems when near relatives so they won’t outcompete family.
Some plants may be able to vaguely recognize people based on your colorscheme and determine if you are a threat or not based on past interactions. Much like the sponge, lack of eyes does not mean lack of ability to see light. In fact, plants may have better ‘vision’ than some animals (not counting blind animals, which by definition have no sense of vision at all).
When one plant is being eaten it will warn other plants nearby via aerosol chemicals and (for some plants) sound to begin producing defensive toxins. If a plant is sick, it will use the same warning systems to warn other plants to produce antibodies and immune cells. They will even specify which toxin/antibodies to use.
Plants communicate with various insects. There’s a tree in the Amazon that controls ant colonies. It enslaves them and controls them.
Some plants react favorably to the presence of certain other species, while others react negatively to certain other species. Some plants also will react positively or negatively to different kinds of animals.
Plants and their ancestors caused the Oxygen Crisis, one of the first great mass extinction events, and have contributed more to global warming than any organism other than humans. They terraformed the Earth and continue to do so to suit their own benefit.
Exactly all of this, Plants are in many ways more evolved than something simple, crude, and primitive as a cow or chicken, we actually found out plants have what is basically a brain. It has been observed plants can learn and be taught as well, have memories.
While I honestly hate the meat industry for their behavior and treatment of animals and people, I also hate the agriculture industry for their behavior and treatment of things and people.
Well the whole plant is the brain. It’s distributed communications through a pheremone system.
Also plants are still alive at the grocery store. Still alive when you cook them. At least bacon is mercifully killed before it gets cooked.
S’far as the industries go, fuck it. As long as my food is safe to eat I don’t care about the politics of small farms vs big farms or whatever the issue is these days.
I need help deciding a name for a dark blue guard pony (unicorn) who likes mindcontrolling other ponies into being his ‘squire’ and got kicked out of the guard for abuse of magic and abuse of position.
One thing I like about Pixar films is how the happy ending isn’t always what you think it’ll be. The toys don’t go with Andy to college, Gusteau’s restaurant gets closed down, Mike and Sully get kicked out of university, Carl never gets Ellie to Paradise Falls. But they find out that what they wanted isn’t necessarily what they needed, and I really like the fact that kids get to learn that life doesn’t always turn out the way they dreamed and that’s okay.
