Okay, since we’re on the topic of reproduction, I have a question regarding regular Pokémon. Say two Pikachus mated and had a baby together. Would that baby be a Pitchu or would it be a Pikachu like its parents?
I love desire paths. There’s something so wonderous about seeing an echo of humanity. Depending on it’s location, a desire path can mean so many different things.
In a city, like the pic above, they represent rebellion, and efficiency. The messiness of humanity. We like to imagine we’re oh so logical and neat so we design our cities to be logical and neat an then real humans literally trample on that idea. The ego required to think you can design something perfect that checks every box. Life is all about compromise and patching stuff when some new problem arises. Though people have certainly tried! Ohio state univeristy let students carve their desire paths, and then paved them over. It looks pretty artsy.
Some people will try to discourage desire paths, but this is almost always going to fail.
Eventually, people just have to accept them. Humans are too dang stubborn.
Certain desire paths are just adorable. A 0.5 second time saver. You just can’t design for maximum efficiency, humans will always find shortcuts!
Though on occasion a desire path can actually be the least efficient way…especially if you’re superstitious.
In a wilder area, such as below, they show us the curiosity of humans. A desire path somewhere natural often tells you there’s something interesting just ahead. (Though remember some ecosystems are fragile and will suffer if trampled! Stick to paths in these sorts of areas)
And how about desire stairs? I always think these look so cool. We get see humans determination to climb, to traverse every kind of terrain.
And for something really crazy…a desire path used for centuries will create a ‘holloway’
All of these pics are off the Desirepath subreddit, check them out for more examples! And many thanks to the users who submitted these photos.
finally gonna start making the Among Us Chicken Nuggets.
the bag says something about how I should “find the impostor”. that’s not encouraging
there are 14 amongi in the bag, so it’s a bit more crowded than the usual lobby
cooking them rn.
started looking at the ingredients list to see if I can get some clues regarding the “impostor” nugget. I see a few ingredients that I don’t quite think are usual nugget fare (sugar, onions, pepper, garlic)
Bone App The Teeth
they were pretty good! tasted about how you’d expect for cheap nuggets
we never did end up finding the impostor tho. was that a joke?? did I miss something?? did one of us eat a fucked up nugget without even noticing??
Btw does anyone want to hear my concept for a possibly decent Scooby Doo reboot with added diversity/adult themes
YAY okay. So it’s set in the 1970’s, in the fictional town of Crystal Cove. The exact coastal state in which it is located is deliberately ambiguous (in Scooby tradition). This is an origin story.
Cast:
Fred Jones: The golden boy of Crystal Cove Prep! Everyone knows him, everyone loves him. Fred is a popular and eternally-cheerful student everyone can look to for guidance; he’s level-headed in any crisis and has led the football team to multiple victories. He is also heavily masking undiagnosed autism; at home, he is obsessed with Rube Goldberg-esque machines and traps, a la several of his famous incarnations before this. His parents, the mayor and his wife, look down on his “hobbies” and ensure that he is very aware that his acceptance in the family hinges on his ability to perform his role as the all-American guy he’s meant to be.
Daphne Blake: The it girl, the queen, the star. A dead ringer for Lola Falana. From a young age, she was a girl of contradictions: she wanted to be an actress (which her parents approved of) and a detective (which her parents disliked immensely), and she pursued both. Despite seeming to have it all in Crystal Cove (a relatively liberal town for the 70’s), Daphne feels great pressure to perform well in everything she does as the daughter of an old money family that had to fight desperately to keep what it earned. She is Creole by ancestry.
Norville “Shaggy” Rogers: The class clown and total burnout. Shaggy is a third-generation Japanese citizen in America. He is enrolled in Crystal Cove Prep, which does not allow him to bring Scooby to class, much to his chagrin. Shaggy trained Scooby in much the way a service dog would be trained, as Shaggy deals with chronic pain and Erb’s palsy that makes moving his left arm and upper body difficult; Scooby retrieves items for Shaggy and follows him unleashed, and the two have a deep bond. Shaggy is also known as the school’s pothead; despite this, he maintains good grades with the help of his friend, Velma, because he loves his parents and wants to make them proud.
Velma Dinkley: The nerdy scholarship kid. Everyone cheats off her tests when they’re not pretending she doesn’t exist. Unlike other kids at Crystal Cove Prep, she’s the child of a single mother who lives paycheck to paycheck as a local librarian. Velma herself is an aspiring private detective whose cases haven’t exactly made the papers – she’s usually finding lost cats, not tracking down murderers. She shrugs off the bullying and cold shoulders she gets at Crystal Cove Prep with the help of her only close friend, her fellow bottom-of-the-social-ladder student Shaggy. He tags along on her detective work, because he likes to feel like he’s a part of things, and she lets him because he’s a damn good cook. Velma is also Jewish, and is one of the only Jewish people in Crystal Cove.
The plot: Two attractive, popular girls at Crystal Cove Prep go missing, and the police are strangely quiet about the case; they’re giving the public the runaway excuse, and Velma isn’t satisfied with it. When Daphne narrowly escapes a terrifying attack by a “monster,” she enlists Velma (and by extension, Shaggy) to help her investigate the culprit: Fred’s popular, enigmatic older brother. Something something hijinks ensue.
Huge legendary woman alert for you! Hachishakusama is an eight-foot-tall woman who likes to run around abducting people. Also, she's a yokai so tick the big monstrous lady box.
