When you hit your elbow against something, but that specific point of your elbow

it’s…called your funny bone…

that gif tho 

It’s not a bone actually- it’s a nerve that is exposed, specifically the ulnar nerve. The reason it feels so weird to hit it is that it’s not designed to deliver pain signals, so when you hit it it just wiggs out and sends Garbage signals to the brain, and the brain is just like “uh, dude- Ulnar, what the hell is this garbage?? You’re supposed to curl a finger and a half, and move some muscles in the forearm, why are you sending me this crap? How am I supposed to make this into sensory output?”
And the Ulnar nerve is just like “dude dude dude, brain- what the hell is going on?!?”
And the brain goes- “idiot. Fine. You’re on fire, freezing and being electrocuted. Happy?”
And the Ulnar goes “holy crap brain!! I’m on fire, freezing and being electrocuted! What am I going to do!!??!”
And the brain says “you’re an idiot ulnar. A damn idiot.”

Thanks for the best reply in this post.

Ya’ll remember that one Ed Edd n’ Eddie episode?

That shut haunts me and this post explains why.

With that out of the way, our news is this: we understand a lot of people were frustrated due to the dates of the event conflicting with school schedules among other things. We hear you, and we’re sorry if you feel like you didn’t have the time to partake.

Since the final (optional) Day 8 is taking place on the December 27th, in the days leading up to it, we’re going to have a redo week.

We’re going to set up the queue with all of our previous entries, and everyone who missed this week’s deadline will be free to upload during that time! This way no one has to worry about feeling left out, and anyone who doesn’t completely finish a work this week can always upload it then instead.

Article 13 is going into it’s final stages of voting. 

If this gets through, it will allow many, many companies to abuse and misuse this article to take down as many memes, fan works, and even other independent creators on sites like YouTube, Facebook, and other websites INCLUDING Tumblr. 

THE FAIR USE LAW AND SAFEHARBOR LAW WILL NO LONGER APPLY IN THE U.S OR IN OTHER COUNTRIES. 

IT HAS ALREADY PASSED IN SEVERAL OTHER COUNTRIES. 

WE CANNOT ALLOW THEM TO TAKE AWAY WHAT WE BUILT FOR THE INTERNET SO FAR. 

So here is what you need to do to drag this article down. 

1. Spread the word 

I can’t stress this enough. The more attention this gets the more people we can get to take this down. 

2. Make your own content 

Make your own content on the matter and make sure it is clear to others that Article 13 is bad for every internet user involved. 

3. If you live anywhere in Europe, contact your MEPs 

Ask them if they approve of the article and why. If they do approve of it, try to convince them in a clear, reasonable, and most sensible way possible that this law is BAD. 

The article itself is way to vague about what it’s conveying to its people. 

Saying that as long as the use of said internet memes or content is good as long as it’s in “good faith.” 

We cannot let some shoddy government tell us what we can and cannot post. 

FREE SPEECH IS A HUMAN RIGHT. NOT A PRIVILEGE. 

Here’s a video on Article 13 that Film Theory made on the matter. It will explain things better than I can.

Edit: I’ve noticed that some people are having trouble with getting the video to work. So here is the new link

Plus thanks to user @rwby- 13 for giving me a link to this Change.org petition!

mother nature stepped in on this too because just the other week a tourist died climbing Uluru. leave it alone.

This is off-topic for my blog but here are three reasons why you shouldn’t climb Uluru:

  1. it’s dangerous, people have died climbing it and many more have been injured.
  2. it damages the rock, you can see where the trail is because of all the wear and because there’s obviously no bathrooms on top there’s a whole lot of rubbish, used toilet paper and tampons on top further ruining the environment for future generations.
  3. THE TRADITIONAL OWNERS HAVE ASKED YOU NOT TOO. Imagine if people were climbing, shitting on and leaving used tampons on a site significant to you (a church, war memorial, a place of cultural significance i.e. the Louvre.

I will also add that there’s plenty of other stuff to do around there: a tour about the cultural significance of Uluru and the surrounding area, a walk around the rock and watching sunrise and sunset on the rock.

Also btw it’s called Uluru not Ayer’s Rock now.

Aboriginal elders in conjunction with the Australian government are taking away the rope that allows people to free climb and starting guided tours around the region telling people about the origin stories that make Uluru so sacred to them. They want your tourism! They want to share their stories! They do NOT want you to clamber over and damage their ancestors.
