Sometime on this site, you can find the info you need, mostly due to people having a hyper fixation on a certain topic. So sometimes the clowns can have knowledge.
Are sharks actually smooth? I keep seeing people saying they aren't but also others saying they are and now I'm confused :(
sharkskin is completely covered with tiny tiny grooved teeth, which gives it some interesting properties!
these denticles are aligned in one direction with the jagged edges pointing back towards the tail, which breaks fluid mechanics in some weird completely bullshit ways that gives it basically no water resistance in that one direction.
this, in effect, means that sharks are INCREDIBLY smooth and can go as fast as they like in any direction, provided that the direction in question is forward.
however, if the shark tried to go backwards, or if you ran your hand down it the wrong way, the opposite effect would take place- the sharp edges of the denticles would create SUPER water resistance and shred the bejeesus out of your hand.
if you’re going to pet a shark, make sure you go from the head back!

Out of Touch
With the many characters that I made in my head, I tend to have them come together to fight, whether it’s each other or together, I gave them them distinct fighting styles depending on weapon, like with swords, bows polearms, shields, whatever they could find, or a hand-to-hand fist fight like a bar brawler, wrestler, or a feral animal.
Sometimes their skills are made with stuff I take from things I see like martial arts, militaristic styles, or things like Wuxia. And their personality make them to the book, unpredictable, or volatile.
Magic is definitely involved with how they use it showing the people they are like duplication to stay relentless, portals to keep distance or stay defensive, defensive magic to make riskier move connection, or poison/strength theft and wait the clock out.
You can learn the type of person that they are with just they way they fight(which is a running joke in that world)
…Which makes it funnier that one of my physically strongest character's fighting style boils down to…
His hand-to-hand is him flailing around his arms and legs, mostly hitting with the arms, every weapon he touches ends wrecked, he feels nothing, so never bothers to dodge, and his “strategy” boils down to “hit them-not dead?-hit them harder”, yet his strength means blocking is too risky, borderline suicidal.
All the work going into how every character fights and there’s just one guy living of crackhead/godly strength and nothing else.
And he doesn’t even win many fights because most of his opponents figure out that hitting him from afar despite the thrown trees and boulders is the best option.
Just shows that strength itself is useless if you don’t even have a strategy to use it properly.
“What… the hell?”
From within the metal shell, was not some foolish engineer or scientist trying to play hero like you expected, but some kind of… mass.
It kind of looks like a fetus, but the parts don’t even look human in the slightest. The mass seems to be attached to the suit, actually the suit seems a bit hollow.
Upon closer inspection, the suit contained no mechanisms within, just layers of metal in strange patterns, which was disturbing as just a few moments ago you two were flying above the buildings before you grounded your foe.
You aimed the blaster at the thing.
“What are you? Some alien playing human?”
The thing made lots of different sounds with each attempt sounding more and more human, until it could be understood.
“Not aliens. Our kin have lived in this land for a long time, but repeated monster attacks forced us to stay hidden from the world. Monsters you brought from their homes to feel like some bit shot crook.”
I need info from this freak, NOW.
“Hell’s your suit made of?”
“Shell. From scrap metal and our own fluids.”
“The flight?”
“Special bladders.”
“What about those beams?”
“Heard of those blood spraying lizards, it’s something similar.”
“Okay, you’re a mutant snail or something, why play hero?”
“ Like I said, this was our land, and not only are you trespassing, but you proceeded to wreck it with your stunts. That won’t do.”
“Ya know this is live broadcasted around the country right?”
“And we thank you, we struggled to find a way to show ourselves to the world.”
Enough stalling.
Remove them.
“Say your prayers, freak.”
“We don’t fear death. We will simply be replaced by another with skills that surpass your current ones.”
“What does that mean.”
“Our kin survived a long time with our fast adaptations and evolutions. We will soon out pace and eradicate you from this land.”
It started laughing before you vaporized it.
You then say a few words to the camera crew that picked up the whole exchange before returning to your lair.
If what it said was true, then a stronger creature is on its way soon, with the tricks that remove all yours.
If you want to rule it all, you need to keep adapting, lest the freaks take you out for good.
Let the games commence.
"Now behold! Behold as I unmask your...beloved...hero...?" The villain's voice trailed off as he tore open said hero's crippled mech suit on live TV, only to reveal something quite...unexpected.
小红书 (also referred to as xiaohongshu or XHS) is a Chinese image-based social media platform. It is a combination of the feed, likes, shopping, and video aspects of instagram, with the ~aesthetics~ and majority female audience of pintrest. I've grown really fond of it and found that it's algorithm is better than instagram and MUCH better than pintrest with giving me content I enjoy.
I'm going to offer some vocab that is either unique to the platform, or slang that is found on the platform (esp in bullet comments). I don't want this to be too long, so some terms may be omitted if they are found on many other social media apps
APP 小红书: Literally "Little Red Book". Probably a play off of Chairman Mao's book of speeches and writings which is also referred to as the Little Red Book. The app is not at all political, but more so trying to evoke the "essentiality" and "knowledge" aspect of the term. 笔记: Notes. XHS's name for its posts 收藏: Favorites. Separate from likes, these are bookmarked collections. This and Likes can be hidden 赞过: Likes.

Trick or treat!
Wasn’t expecting one so soon, here’s a big plate of spicy Mapo tofu with rice.
As a newcomer to tumblr antics, especially to actually posting things, I don’t know the holidays this culture celebrates and only could tell from small bits from outside sources before entering this place.
That said, today seems to be the day of Dracula daily or something, where a part of the novel is sent to us every day until the story finishes.
Having never read the original novel (not saying this as a joke of time loops as some posts I saw said, genuinely never read it), I plan to celebrate the story alongside the rest of you Hellsite inhabitants and subscribed to Dracula Daily to join in.
Let’s see where Jonathan Harker ends up going.
Old memes to wish for a good, probably not as problematic as last-year year
I saw an opportunity and I took it
just think tumblr should see this error message i just got
YOU
It hasn’t even been two weeks into the year, and you throw a wildfire into my state?!
This your way of saying “expect more of this to come?” because I’m barely tolerating it now.
Mostly here to lurkWill sometimes interact with users if I want toYou can ask me things.
