tumblr mobile won’t load but I bet it’s the fucking mirror lasers
The thing that pisses me off the most is that she could’ve just used the laser lipstick straight on the door. The mirrors were sooooooo unnecessary. Unless there’s something I’m missing????
i have genuinely one of the weirdest skills to be able to brag about
i’ve caught five mice with my bare hands so far. like i’ve just frozen and pounced on them arms first like a cat. i dropped several of them immediately after my brain kicked in and realised i don’t enjoy being bitten by mice but twice now i’ve just caught and successfully dispatched them after a prolonged moment of losing my shit while holding a mouse. like i joke privately about my beloved pet cat and family member kremen (rip) raising me better than my parents ever did but dude what the fuck. i just go into Predator Mode and pounce on these fucking mice. what the hell
this makes it funnier that when i was a kid i used to do co-op mouse hunting with our current (now old) cat snowbell. like he’d corner a mouse and i’d corner it too and wait until he moved into a good spot and i’d chase it out and he’d catch it. you guys fucking wish you were on the same level of warrior cats roleplay i was on. there is nothing wrong with me
DON’T DO THIS TO ME

I KNOW that playing God is morally wrong, but holy HELL, it looks fun.
Why is it playing God? We aren’t violating any natural laws. God set the parameters of the universe to allow these things. There’s nothing wrong with it, there’s no hubris in learning more about how to manipulate the universe around us.
We made a whole-ass fish.
The reason this was accidental BTW is because they used paddlefish eggs as a negative control group for a breeding experiment on sturgeons because the scientists, quite naturally, assumed that they were SO unrelated it would be genetically impossible for them to mate. Like. I cannot stress enough to you how these creatures last related ancestors were
140 MILLION YEARS BACK.
If you don’t know how far that is, that’s basically the start of the cretaceous. Let me simplify that for you even further. Chimpanzees and humans seperated, what, 5 or 6 million years ago?
This is basically like if humans could hybridise with THESE THINGS.
This is the sort of thing that should be impossible. They used those eggs to be ABSOLUTELY 100% SURE NOTHING WOULD HAPPEN.
And then THEY GOT FISH OUT OF IT.
Like. You can quite clearly understand why they didn’t think anything would happen. WE ARE MORE RELATED TO BLUE WHALES THAN THESE THINGS.
THE AMERICAN PADDLEFISH AND THE STURGEON ARE SO COMPLETELY UNRELATED THAT THIS IS NOT PLAYING GOD. IF ANYTHING THIS IS AN ACT OF GOD.
THE SCIENTISTS HAD NO BLAME IN THIS BECAUSE NOTHING LIKE THIS HAD EVER HAPPENED BEFORE
It sort of goes against the rules of genetics a bit.
Oh i forgot to add
THESE THINGS, FOR HYBRIDS, HAD A REALLY HIGH SURVIVAL RATING. LIKE 70% OF THEM SURVIVED.
To put that into perspective, getting a blue whale and a squirrel and trying to hybridise them is more sensible, and that wouldn’t produce anything but getting you banned from science. Most animals that aren’t plants can barely hybridise two degrees away from each other.
BUT THESE TWO ENTIRELY UNRELATED FISH create PERFECTLY HEALTHY HYBRIDS.
the scientists literally had to do the tests AGAIN just to be like “okay this is real right. This is actually like, not a fluke, this works right” and it worked again. They just Can!
In love with this random guy who had a lock slapped on his storage unit for not paying its rental and not only did he ignore management and took his stuff out without paying, but also chose to steal the lock itself and send it to the LockPickingLawyer along with a confession letter
