I'm a firm believer in the "let people do whatever the hell they like as long as it's not hurting anyone" ideology.
cackling at this, can NOT believe it's a real, actual quote. it reads so much like one of those clickhole pieces
So glad just about everything everything was named before funko pop owners became scientists otherwise we'd be looking up at the night sky pointing at the Yoda constellation

“Abolish Golf”
Sticker spotted in Chicago, Illinois.
A typical golf course uses 200 million gallons of water a year. There are over 16,300 golf courses in the United States.
That's nuts.
Ngl I hate golf and I'm all for this. They put a golf course in our public park at the expense of hundreds of centuries-old live oak trees. Half of the walk around the park you're just looking at an empty golf course. Like 2 people want to play golf. So annoying.
Golf was a game developed in Scotland, where it rains up to 250 days of the year, and where the courses use very hard-wearing grass. The sand in the bunkers is because it used to be played on the coast - these traditional courses are called "Links" courses. The top Links course in Scotland, Royal Dornoch, uses no mains water at all. They have their own rainwater collection system.
It wasn't originally intended to be played in the middle of a desert on lush green turf that takes thousands of gallons of water a day to maintain. Unless you can keep the course alive using only rainwater collection, it shouldn't exist.
copper my beloved
rose gold, brass, bronze, what cant she do
beautiful base colour, beautiful patina, and it mixes to make beautiful alloys. 10/10 best metal.
she also makes up so much of your wiring, she’s a working gal too.
what CANT she do
Don’t forget about the most beautiful blue made by copper sulfate!!
my absolute FAVOURITE comments on this post are ones like this.
where they just add on something ELSE that copper does. it’s great.
When you need to work in an atmosphere where a stray spark could cause an explosion, you switch out your steel tools for copper alloys since it conducts heat much better and thus won’t spark easy.
So when Tumblr user @mono-red-menace hypes up copper, it’s a 60k-note banger, but when I, Ea-nasir,
Not to nerd out but copper minerals are also absolutely gorgeous. Like check out Azurite:
And malachite
And covellite
And my personal favourite, bornite.
Just banger after banger after absolute banger
if you use the word "horrorcore" or "cozy horror" i am biting you
Do I want to know what that even is?
From what I can understand, its an attempt to create horror specially for women & minorities that excludes anything that could be considered icky/controversial like say, CSA, incest, rape etc etc. Basically the kind of fucked up shit you can find anywhere in the horror genre is excluded from that.
I only know this because of this one author who got harassed over this discourse BECAUSE her books featured topics like these
This is the first comprehensive explanation I have seen for this post and FUCKING YIKES what in the Victorian era is this-
