Masks And Helmets That Hides Someone's Face In Such A Way That They Become The Face Themselves My Beloved

🤫 Shh…wanna hear a secret? The secret toadhead agama (Phrynocephalus mystaceus) has one. Growing about 9 in (24 cm) long, this wide-ranging species inhabits deserts in parts of Asia. When confronted by predators, like birds of prey, it can open its mouth to deploy brightly colored cheek flaps—shocking foes with a sudden change of appearance! If that doesn’t work, this reptile can also rapidly bury itself in the sand, disappearing from view.

Babby's 2st post :) modern tech is infuriating, and it was either this or I write a manifesto.

do you know what slope intercept form is and can you tell me please math is hard :{

yeah sure, so slope intercept form (sometimes called “a linear equation”) is simply [y = mx + b], and it is basically just one way of mathematically condensing all the information you need to generate an infinitely-long straight line

y and x represent the y and x axes of the graph, and aren’t ever going to change, really. you could do [x = my + b], too, but no one really does that because it just overcomplicates things. so, for the most part, just ignore x and y. they’re just variables.

m indicates the slope, or steepness, of the line. so if m is 3, then for every 1 unit you move right (x-ward) you’d also move 3 units up (y-ward). larger m values indicate steeper lines. a negative m value indicates the line slopes downwards to the right

b is the y-intercept: where your line intersects with [x = 0]. this basically just shifts the entire line up or down on the y-axis, which is necessary for figuring out where the line actually is in 2d space

get some graph paper and a ruler and practice making some lines using this formula, changing the m and b values to whatever you like. you should be able to grasp it pretty quickly with this hands-on approach. good luck in your studies!

genuinely one of the worst things that’s happened to television in the last few years (exacerbated by streaming services) is death of Filler. going from 20 episodes to 8 because “we didn’t really need that episode where the main characters went to the beach right? it had no long lasting effect” but we DID!!! we needed to see how they act without the Big Bad Plot and to establish the dynamics between the characters and lay in the sun (do they forget sunscreen? how do they react to a thieving seagull? do they get buried in the sand or do they do the burying?). the plot isn’t everything. the action doesn’t hit as hard without the quiet moments. give us character development and our little scenes back

please understand i am not booping you gently on the forehead. i am smacking your ass, it is audible and there is JIGGLING

LIES!

i hate this shit so much.

First of all, vitamins ARE chemicals you dipshits

Secondly, vitamin B12 is the most chemically complex of all vitamins! Do you even know anything at all?

Thirdly, wtf do you think is giving it a mango or mint flavor/smell? Hint: it's chemicals. Mangoes contain Ethyl-2-methylpropanoate, which is what gives them most of their flavor and smell. Mint contains Menthol. They are both organic chemical compounds.

I fucking hate this shit SO MUCH

ooooo, chemicals are baaaad, but buy our plastic product we had built in a sweatshop and shipped around the globe using fossil fuels so you can breathe things into your lungs that your lungs weren't really meant breathe... because that's the Healthy thing to do!

Nevermind that there is also no medical data suggesting that the body can absorb vitamins by inhaling them. Experts agree that there is no concrete evidence pointing to vitamin vapes’ efficacy.

Additionally, when it comes to vitamin vapes, there is the matter of the propellant and chemicals used to deliver and vaporize vitamin B12. Virtually no studies have been conducted on vaping essential oils, flavorings, and propellants used in vaping devices; however, a preliminary study on cells suggests that some may cause cell damage. One chemical in particular, vegetable glycerin, is used by Breathe and many other vaping devices marketed as “safe” and has been linked to lung inflammation.

Chemicals are like fires. Whether they are life-saving or deadly is all about the context.

You can't just go "chemicals are bad!" It's the application. For instance, you body uses naturally occurring vegetable glycerin to pull water in from substances you consume, to help hydrate you. But your lungs are NOT designed to breathe it in! The fact that it might damage your lungs does not mean it is a nasty chemical

But it does mean that this is a nasty product.

pisses me off to see this kind of thing
