there was some science that got done that involved putting a camera on a humboldt squid and
all i can think about is how fucking weird this must be for the squid??? like??? squid do not wear clothes, when left to themselves so how is this one adapting to its new clothes-wearing paradigm, how does it feel about this situation where it is now the only squid in a t-shirt and bodycam
shit, what do the other squids think? are they jealous that they didn’t get free outfits, or are they all roasting their buddy because he looks like a total dork now
I’m reminded of the ornithologists who discovered that banding birds with brightly-colored bands actually disrupted the mating season because female birds were attracted to males with colorful bands
what if these scientists have plunged the normally staid squid community into a maelstrom of unbridled sexual desire because one of them is wearing a shirt
girl: ah! Harder babe!
me in my head: the Gary Jules cover of Mad World strips away the upbeat nature of the original hit by Tears for Fears. the dichotomy of depressing lyrics and a solid beat with uptempo bass and trumpets really shows the almost manic depression that I believe was intended to be displayed in the original mixing
girl: oh fuck! fuck me!
me in my head: Gary Jules took the song in a direction that gentrified it and made it what one would expect a sad song to be, and thus it became the basis for many awful memes, turning a great song with a lot of interesting emotional insight into a stereotypical mess
