I wake up in a human place in human times

me: "i-"

"sweet bajeebus!"

You wake up in an old-timey cabin in the American mid-west just as a cowboy walks into the room.

You: "I must have travelled back to the time cowboys existed."

Cowboy [nervously]: "Wh- what happens to the cowboys..?"

nice

Small doodles based on that one sonic twt shitpost

Basically sonic is 15 when the outbreak happens. him, sonia and manic try to escape but sonia ends up getting shot which makes sonic and manic slowly drift away from each other. Ten years later he goes around with Amy gathering supplies and stuff like that to sell to people. Hes been keeping in contact with manic but ends up loosing contact so someone asks sonic to take an eight year old across all of mobius so that he can become the “cure”

Sonic knows he’s not meant to get attached to the kid since its the zombie apocalypse, kids die and he’s meant to leave the kid behind anyway but the more he hangs around tails he grows to love him. The kids shy and smart. He can fight and fly. The kids pretty cool and he loves him, he just cant let anything happen to that kid because hes cargo. Not because he’s still an eight year old and needs protecting also he definitely dosen’t remind sonic of his brother and sister

When he finds out that the kid he has fought so hard for, thats gone through too much for someone his age has to die he gets pissed because god thats just a kid man, his sister was just a kid when she died and tails is almost half her age. He couldn’t let that kid die.

And sonic will kill whoever he has to so that his kid brother never gets hurt again

(Pls ask about this au I’ve been hooked on it for a while now🙏)

if i had one of them

i would name them Mr. Tickles

Phrynichus deflersi is absolutely insane

whip spiders are kinda insane as is but the fact that this one exists in a small area of the map roughly around the Gulf of Aden this creates a naming convention confusion where it's officially known as The Arabian Whip Spider but it's exclusively native to Somalia and even though it's been imported illegally into Yemen, Ethiopia, Tanzania and Djibouti I think you'll notice the obvious fact that none of those locations are in Arabia with only one of them not being in Africa so we're off to a great start.

its torso is thin and flexible 6 of it's legs are twice the length of its torso bent backwards and lying so flat that it shuffles along the ground on its knees while doing the spider equivalent of the splits

its tusks yes tusks are modified into arms that are 4 times the length of it's body with fake hands on the ends of them complete with an opposable thumb

and these work together with the remaining front 2 legs that are equally as long weirdly flexible and for some reason protrude from the spider's neck and have a second shoulder joint immediately after the one attached to the neck

they have one of the smallest mouths next to the size of their body of basically any spider and even with that the teeth are even strangely small for the size of the mouth making the creature almost flat faced

here's pic of one preserved in mid-pounce pose

just to illustrate how crazy a concept that is

and oh yes it can pounce or sort of technically it doesn't so much pounce as it does shuffle along a surface at around 60 mph or 100 kph being able to manoeuvre on a dime during this movement and also conceal itself in tight spaces moving a maximum distance of 5 feet in one of these bursts which we still don't know just how many they can do at a time.

being soft-bodied it can hide in spaces that are even smaller than the size of its thorax and it's strong enough to take down prey such as fully grown rats by grabbing onto them and dragging them to their mouth where their tiny teeth chew through the rat's neck until it bleeds to death.

for scale here's one on a human hand

and here's their prey

to say the spider is strong is an understatement

oh and by the way there's a very similar creature that's local to Southern California

just so you know

and guess what else

i have a friend in the north of England that actually keeps them as pets

oh and if you go to Egypt they flavor their French fries with its urine there

well it is his favorite pony

Ever hear a ridiculous news article? How about... "Businesses are trying to copyright the concept of steam, and we don't mean the Valve brand."

It wasn't even the onion

oh @sigmaleph

you are not ready

in much more interesting news, today at work I got to explore an abandoned 500-year-old castle, seized by the state because of the owner's massive tax evasion

we spent an hour and half going all over the grounds, I'd never felt so #urbex

twitch says there's a ton of people using it

but i can't see any of them

Modi T1 Terminator admin bot strikes again

I know, it's been years.

The same admin bot that broke every social network and yet people still kept using it because its creator was able to sell ice cubes to eskimo was finally used by Twitch.tv today.

Thankfully Twitch aren't stupid enough to allow the software to issue permabans so in a couple of hours the temp bans were reset.

apparently Twitch had manually scoured the banned term library disabling all the stupid defaults such as "see" and "last" only for an automatic update to add the term "jedi".

hmm...

All I want is mental peace.

hum
