if i ever try to pretend i have a sense of humor please remind me that i just thought of the concept of a phoenix named boomerang “because he always comes back” and started laughing so hard i almost threw up
i genuinely have no idea how i’m still alive when this is all it takes to utterly fucking destroy me
I’m in a very serious lecture and I’m ngl it’s destroying me too
i love that we and cats share pareidolia (seeing patterns where they dont exist), but instead of seeing faces in everyday objects like us, they see snakes
that computer cord? snake. string? small snake. cucumber? short fat straight snake
snake pareidolia is one of the strongest things in human minds too! people report freezing mid-stride before being consciously aware of a snake in front of them, and the same happens with coiled rope, etc. in humans and other primates. it’s even been proposed that the need to detect snakes was a factor in the development of primates’ insanely good color eyesight
It’s because snakes are wonderful and we must stop and admire them at any cost
I just saw a CNN post about how people are smoking toad venom and I couldn’t help but remember in American Gods, tech boy smoked toad skins in the show 🤣
