story behind this audio: i was on the tf2 wiki, clicking random page, as one does on a wiki, when i landed on the item called “texas half-pants.” this item has a voice line at the top of its wiki page. there is a link that says “click to listen” to this audio clip, which i assumed would bring up an audio player or at least take me to a separate page to listen to the audio in my browser. instead, it automatically downloaded the sound clip to my computer. i was laughing at this, saying, “this is on my computer now, great,” and i clicked on the file to open it, thinking it would play it in whatever media player i had set as default. it did play…but apparently my default music player was set to itunes. so it opened itunes, added the clip to my itunes library, played the clip, and THEN started playing the next song in the queue, which was coconut mall from mario kart wii. so this is what i experienced just now.
what if doorbells went dong ding instead of ding dong
don’t say something like that
so the nyc subway doors make a ding-dong sound when they close and a few years ago i was on a G train (which is, like, one of the saddest trains, people make fun of it all the time, and i say that even though i love it and i think it is objectively one of the most reliable trains, it just doesn’t go into manhattan) and it was like 1am and i was just trying to get home but this train car, instead of going “ding-dong” when the door closed it went “dong-ding” and everyone in the train just kinda froze and looked around at each other and made bewildered eye-contact and i’ve seen a lot of weird and fucked up things on the subway since i moved here but hearing the doors go “dong-ding” might be the weirdest thing i’ve ever experienced in the nyc subway system
For every modern trans girl who wishes she could return to the days of being a sumerian eunuch temple priestess, there was a sumerian eunuch temple priestess afflicted by an inexplicable desire to play the synthesizer. These were interpreted as prophetic visions
Ive actually made myself kind of sad now contemplating the poor sumerian eunuch temple priestess having to make do with some sort of Flintstonian bone xylophone instead of a proper eurorack or 808

Yes! People act like fatness is an invention of the 20th century and “our hunter-gatherer ancestors wouldn’t have been obese!” Bullshit. Fat people have always existed, and our ancestors thought they were beautiful! <333
oh yeah i’ve seen her sister (literally same age of statue and place of discovery) in the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations in Ankara
