Marine inverts aren’t my thing but I love these guys because a) they’re rainbow and I am gay, b) they are described as “highly aggressive crustaceans” which in itself is hilarious and c) their ability to literally punch their prey out, their punch c travels at about 50 mph and is enough to shatter glass.

i love it when the sky cancels itself out

ill prove it watch

see those three boxes? direct color grabs. now watch this:

thats because blue and orange are opposites. they cancel each other out, resulting in grey. awesome as fuck

heres something fun. when you bump up the saturation even the tiiiiniest bit, it is revealed that the blue and the orange are having a war

homophobes are not allowed to use computers because the inventor of the computer was gay

People think this is just a joke but Alan Turing was the inventor of the computer and his sexuality was illegal in his time (which was not even 100 years ago) and he was arrested. They put him on drugs that destroyed his genius brain and committed suicide a year after being covicted. He was gay and a war hero as well. He helped to break enigma which was a German code that they put all their messages through. He shorted WWII by two years and saved so many lives in the process.

Friendly reminder that if not for Alan Turing you wouldn’t be reading this post and we might be ruled by the nazis

The Alan Turing statue on my campus

Also friendly reminder that Alan Turing was autistic (if you need further proof that autistic people are not sick/stupid) ❤️

This also goes for if you’re transphobic! The mother of modern coding and the creator of the term debugging was a trans woman!

ah, nepenthes lowii……my old shit-eating friend…..

the mechanism- for those new to Shit Eater Mcgee over here- works like this: the pitcher top has a sweet nectar that the tree shrew native to it’s habitat loves. the shrew sits on the top of the pitcher and eats the nectar, which conveniently, though the wonders of evolution, places the shrew’s asshole directly above the neck of the pitcher. under the neck of the pitcher is digestive fluid. the shrew then poops and so is the way of life and the wonders of biology

you have no idea how much this plant is ridiculed by the scientific community. at the carnivorous plant convention i was at a couple weeks ago whenever even an IMAGE of this plant would come up on a slide it would be met with a round of laughter. nobody can take this plant seriously. 

i actually got to see it in person at the same convention, which was pretty cool, and they’re actually smaller than u would expect?? they’re notorious for taking a long time to grow their first full-sized pitchers, which makes sense when you hold one in your hands for the first time and realize that these pitchers are woody. like, i was expecting a flexible leaf kind of feel like most of the other species have, but apparently to support the sheer weight of a shitting shrew on u you gotta have like, support and stuff in there. it deadass feels like light, strong, hallow wood, while looking like a flexible leaf. 

its a fucking ridiculous plant but at the same time….my bitch made it through millions of years of evolution like that. like do u see that image? that image of a shrew taking a dump into a pitcher plant? that pitcher plant has it made
