Re: the last post, the article mentions that some places use clams to test the toxicity of the water. It’s like that in Warsaw- we get our water from the river, and the main water pump has 8 clams that have triggers attached to their shells. If the water gets too toxic, they close, and the triggers shut off the city water supply automatically.
The clams are just better at measuring the water quality than any man-made sensors.
Employer: “Where do you see yourself 10 years from now?”
Me:
I love this because you could mean anyone in th picture, including the bear.
You made this 1000x better
Who wouldn’t aspire to be a stylishly dressed Were-bear with a beautiful nude woman on their back providing musical accompaniment as you drive unwanted trespassers from the steps of your stately residence?
Seems like a pretty sweet deal to me.
Belle: Beast, I have to go back to my father, your magic mirror showed he was sick.
Beast: Really? Let me see…. Huh, actually it look like some guy called Gaston is going to have him committed.
Belle: What now? *Grabs mirror*
Beast: you know that guy? he seems like a douche.
Belle: Beast…. Honey…. you wanna get out of the house for a few hours?
Beast: Against my better judgement, I’m gonna say yes.
*Later*
Belle: FLEE MORTALS, I AM ARTEMIS, GODDESS OF THE WILD HUNT, AND I HAVE COME FOR YOU.
Beast: HEY NOT THAT I’M NOT HAVING FUN BUT WHY ARE YOU NAKED?
Belle: ARTEMIS, GODDESS OF THE WILD HUNT DOES NOT REQUIRE CLOTHES.
Beast: I HAVE NEVER SEEN THIS SIDE OF YOU BEFORE AND I’M NOT GONNA LIE I KIND OF DIG IT.
Belle: YEAH I’M HAVING FUN TOO. HEY ITS LEFOU, GASTON’S LITTLE CHEERLEADER. GET HIM!
Beast: YES MA’AM!
Fairy: *Watching in the distance*: You know I was gonna turn him back, but it looks like they’re having fun so I’ll come back tomorrow.
You know. It’d explain a lot if dragon eggs were this impenetrable substance that only could break down and safely release the fledgling if it was sufficiently surrounded by gold. And for centuries dragons just needed to dig down and find a gold vein in the mountains, and they’d return and return and return to the same area, up until human were like: hey, we have no actual use for this super soft inert metal, but we like it, so it’s ours now.
And the dragons were then forced to go: hello! I see your capitalist nightmare society is hoarding gold because it decided it had value for no reason. We need it for actual reasons. We would like ti back now.
Humanity: We sort of based our entire value system off it? So no?
Dragons: But you aren’t using it and we need it.
Humanity: Sweet. Can you pay us for it?
Dragons: Do you accept UNENDING FIRE TERROR as payment?
So humanity was just like: ooh noooo. The dragons just like sleeping on top of gold for no reeeeason. They stole all of it because they are just terrible and greedy. So terrible. Our gold. Oh no. We need it. For richness. Oh nooooooo. You have to save us then you can be rich too.
Then dragons invented paper money, and became banks. Instead of having to carry your own heavy gold around, or have to store it safely away from robbers and thieves, you deposit it at a dragon nest, and get written bills certifying your ownership of so-and-so much gold in return. In theory, dragons will pay you back your gold if you want to withdraw it, but most people never bother; it’s far more convenient to exchange bills and promissory notes.
Don’t worry about tomorrow right now. Just close your eyes and get some rest. I know you’re anxious about what’s to come, but I promise you, it’s not as bad as your brain is telling you it is. You’re going to get through this. You are okay.
Well, that don’t work in the scene I’m doing it’s too cute not to draw.
DAWWW SO CUTE :>
they use human chairs but really badly
same
Wait elongated chairs y’all. Eight chair legs instead of one, they can lie down majestically and put their chins on the table like they were always meant to.
