Two tropes that somehow have precisely equivalent energy in spite of being exact opposites narratively:

  • character(s) performing sensible everyday activities in the foreground totally oblivious to the ridiculous bullshit happening in the background
  • character(s) getting up to ridiculous bullshit in the foreground while some sensible everyday activity happens undisturbed in the background

A graduate student has created the first man-made biological leaf. It absorbs water and carbon dioxide to produce oxygen just like a plant. He did this by suspending chloroplasts in a mixture made out of silk protein. He believed it can be used for many things but the most striking one is the thought that it could be used for long distance space travel. Plants do not grow in space, but this synthetic material can be used to produce oxygen in a hostile environment. (Video)

If you don’t think this is cool, you are very wrong.

“SWEETIE, DO YOU NEED YOUR BELLY MOOSHED? YOU LOOK LIKE YOU NEED YOUR BELLY MOOSHED.”

That action is called “snurgling”. It helps stimulate milk production.

No it’s mooshed

Person A: hey why do you look so tired and have bite marks all over your neck?

Person B, who got fucked within an inch of their life the night before and is about to invent vampires: oh haven’t you heard?

#and that mans name was lord byron

You made it better

No, it was John Polidori. Byron wrecked him thoroughly the night before. Facts only.

Thank you for your correction. There can only be facts in this gothic dragging
