Gave my students an optional writing workshop day today because it's almost time for a holiday break

It's a psych class, they're learning APA style

But again, holiday break, so nobody's here

Which is fine, cuz I have another chiari headache going on

So y'all get to help me shrink my dump folder while I chill and see who comes in

Enjoy!

Oh shit both of these are me

Sorry, didn't have sound when I downloaded it

Visual story telling

True, even if I've never met you. Why are you handing me a bug?

Sent this to my bestie in the English dept

Yes

Saved this for my perception class because the difference between wavelength colors and pigment colors is always a fun conversation

Need

Not me though, saved for students. I'm okay with math

Yeah my mom died in March, I got diagnosed with a chiari malformation in September, and my country voted against objective morality in November. 2024 can fuck off.

Oops! We did a science.

My neuro class this year keeps quoting the dumb shit I say, which includes, "I blame the French" every time a word is odd or confusing

Siblings

Me as a kid

Saved for my dad, I think we actually have a photo like this somewhere

Dog tax! Violet got spayed and did not like the post surgery jacket... but honey, you wouldn't have to wear it if you didn't start to lick your belly THREE SECONDS after I took it off!

#32 I was not good with math until college. I was so lucky to select an instructor who taught math such that my brain went"YES!" and triggered my love for the subject. Thanks, Ms. McInerny!

It's not what he says it is though. That card with the slot is not "decomposing the light into it's original colours", It's just blocking the individual beams in such a way that the colours can't combine past it. So when you put a pencil in front of the torches it's just blocking each torch light individually, not some magical "complimentary colour magic bullshit that he makes out it is. He's literally just blocking coloured light.

#5 I think "Does My Hand Burn Ow Fuck" was improperly named. I'm pretty sure it was actually "What Does Fire Feel Like Ow Fuck" which immediately shifted research into fire and fire based applications to the convential does-it-burn centric approach.

Given that I've had multiple conditions since the age of 16, including a congenital brain defect, I think somebody forgot to mail in my warranty documents in the first place 😂

1 year ago | Likes 2 Dislikes 0

the fact that you only noticed the middle one being off center when they are all, in fact, equally offset to the left as though it was done intentionally or just applied from the left to the right

To be honest, I stopped looking after I saw the center one. XD

#31 I have a label above my front hall light switch that says "Inside Out". When people ask what that is for, I say "the switch on the left is for the inside light, and the switch on the right is for the outside light." And people sometimes say "can't you just remember the words 'inside out'?" And I always respond "well, you'd think so, but .... "

I've lived in the same house for over a decade. Most of the switches are mounted vertically because of reasons that I can only put down to spite and severe sociopathy, and I still hit the wrong ones at least once or twice a day.

#5 Cheese very likely comes from "what's this stuff in the calf's stomach, all it did is drink milk" given that cheese is made via rennet, and not acidification, in the early times.

1 year ago | Likes 8 Dislikes 0

More likely they used calf stomachs as carrier bags/ travel containers for milk, also water, beer etc but milk and rennet plus time is the relevant bit here

That's a good theory. I'd say the best.
