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. itās even been proposed that the need to detect snakes was a factor in the development of primatesā insanely good color eyesight
Itās because snakes are wonderful and we must stop and admire them at any cost
So i went on a date to a haunted house and made friends with the girls behind us. As weāre going through, one of them is holding my hand and a guy leaps out and separates us. I panic as my date is pulling me along, I reach back for her and grab her hand in a group of three other performers and start getting out if there. After a bit I look back to check on her and I discover Iām holding the hand of a six foot tall zombie creature and not a 5’2" girl.
Cue the most terrifying realization of my life.
I had basically kidnapped this performer from his section and abandoned the girl and her friend behind us.
Yes, I screamed. My date thought it was Hilarious.
Yes, we found the girls. Turns out when I grabbed the performers hand, he grabbed theirs so our group wouldnāt be separated. So there was just this zombie in the middle of our group line for like fifty feet
No, guys, I think we have to realize both of these people are in the right. People *should* question sources like this because cultural appropriation happens SO OFTEN and is SO IGNORED by many people because they just pass it off and say āwell Iām sure this is just fineā. So therefore, you have to ask questions, get full information. To me, it sounds like both people are on the same side, against the bigotry of cultural appropriation and now they have an understanding. Kudos to both.
if i ever get another chinchilla i will name him vinny the chin after the former mafia crime boss who once held me as a baby
ok i might not have been directly in the arms of vinny the chin himself now that i think about it but basically what happened is that my mom had been following his trials when it was going on back in the late 90ā²s and like. she was on this flight that also fuckin happened to be transporting this mob boss to his next trial so like there were a bunch of mafia people on this plane with him and my mother was like āholy shit, itās vinny the chinā and she literally started?? talking to these mafia guys. and she had to run to the bathroom and for some reason was like ācan you watch my kid for me for a secondā so my mom left me with the mafia. and she kind of? didnāt think about it? and realized fully what she had done as she was washing her hands so she like runs back out and i was fine. they were playing with me and i was laughing. i think it made the news. anyway thatās the story of how baby me enamored a bunch of mobsters
my mom found the article AND the boarding pass from that specific plane tripā¦ i didnāt realize he was literally on his way to prisonā¦ iām cryingā¦ anyway, this is the proof behind the text post. iām the baby
I am so obsessed with this post you guys have no idea.
and letās admit it
through an unlikely series of events, a bunch of mobsters are left in charge of looking after a baby is the greatest 90s comedy never made.
