people overreacting are literally more of a threat than the actual virus at this point. you are all so FUCKING stupid
This adorable little robot is designed to make sure its photosynthesising passenger is well taken care of. It moves towards brighter light if it needs, or hides in the shade to keep cool. When in the light, it rotates to make sure the plant gets plenty of light. It even likes to play with humans.
Oh, and apparently, it gets antsy when it’s thirsty.
The robot is actually an art project called “Sharing Human Technology with Plants” by a roboticist named Sun Tianqi. It’s made from a modified version of a Vincross HEXA robot, and in his own words, it’s purpose is “to explore the relationship between living beings and robots.”
I don’t care if it’s silly. I want one.
Could you imagine a whole greenhouse full of these? I always thought of spaceship greenhouses as big stationary things, but imagine a rotating “sun” and a bundle of little, shuffling planters that come find crew member when their plants are dehydrated.

you know what trope i just go maximum apeshit for every goddamn time?
when a character has to improvise a weapon under urgent circumstances.
- im talking characters in handcuffs using them to garrote enemies
- characters swinging objects that are WILDLY un-aerodynamic (a table, a a garden gate.)
- or throwing objects that are wildly un-damaging (an inflatable chair, a bunch of flowers)
- throwing something soft and light over someones head as a brief distraction
- using the ENVIRONMENT against their adversary (pulling a rug from under them, slamming a door in their face)
- using weapons that are broken or not working properly, or using them the ‘incorrect’ way (using an empty gun as a bludgeon, Elizabeth Swann pulling that sword off the wall but it still being attached to the wall display)
- swordfights using anything BUT swords
- people macgyvering wildly ‘low-tech’ improvised contraptions to defeat massively high-tech and well organised attacks
- loading a blunderbuss or shotgun with something commonplace and either not-at-all dangerous or surprisingly lethal (sand, cutlery, buttons)
- i love this trope so much
