A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
Billions and billions of THC molecules, winding their way within veins, passing through the violent pumping whirlpool of the heart, then thrust out with great force via the arteries and capillaries of the circulatory system, carried along by red blood cells, pushed upwards against the force of gravity, towards their final destination in the cerebral cortex, where they take one final step through the blood/brain threshold and into the roiling soupstuff of consciousness...
It's soothing to read it in his voice.
I'm terrible at impersonations. Suddenly Carl Sagan's voice is coming out of my mouth.
Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and ..... Uhhhh.... .........Billions. Duuuude
...but you must first invent the universe
Yes, that's what the drugs are for.
Was Carl Sagan a stoner? Or do I just not know what "baked" means?
https://www.theguardian.com/science/1999/aug/24/spaceexploration
He was "prolific."
Sagan also wrote that pot enhanced his experience of food, particularly potatoes, as well as music and sex.
I believe the kids today call this "based AF."
Also, baked AF.
"basked AF"?
basking in something, certainly
Po-ta-toes! Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish.
I would love to see Carl Sagan and Samwise Gamgee hanging out, smoking some of the Hobbit's leaf and snacking on some potatoes.
I think Rick Steves would fit in there, too.
With Gandalf having a chuckle at his theories on cosmology.
I too find that music and sex improve the experience of potatoes.
He was so baked, he called baked potatoes as potatoes
He loved baked beans, maybe?
It isn't meant literally. It just means he comes off as mildly baked. I also have mildly baked syndrome and people occasionally ask me for drugs, even though I barely touch coffee.
I was thinking the other day that Bob Vila should be in this pantheon, too.
Edit: And James Burke and Tim Hunkin and Rex Garrod
Norm Abraham too, his safety speil is etched into my brain
Be kind to your tools? Or to old houses?
I live by both of these, and it has worked out well for me!
be kind to your wood
Hah! Very punny!
If I ever start a religion, those will be the five pillars and the "saints" who embody them.
Humanist maybe?
Ayy, that's my phone wallpaper!
edit: I made it because I was looking for amoled-friendly DE wallpaper :D
How did this ppl (or others like them) not spontaneously become some default universal role models and some sort of standard we judge ourselves, others, and humanity as a whole is beyond me.
Even from a completely selfish pov each of us would want at least the majority of other people to be like them. That's how you get (ever) nice(er) things.
I mean, I know the answer why that's not the case (they can't be monetised as efficiently as "starts"), but still.
For many of us they are/were.
Also, on the topic of PBS potheads:
I was gonna be like, "remember when that Carl Sagan remix went viral a couple years ago?"
But apparently it was uploaded 14 years ago so I'll just
🙍🧑🦳💀🪦
Was Steve Erwin really kind to animals? Didn't he wrestle them son's of bitches?
Ikr? He had a beef with every crocodile he could laid his hands on.
They were on a walk with tv crew when Steve saw a crocodile. He said „that motherfucker” and before everyone knew he jumped and got the creature in chokehold until the tv crew managed to separate them. Croc barely made it out alive to his wife and kids.
Everyone thinks Australia zoo was for the preservation of animals, when it was really Steve's own personal fight club.
I worked there in the 90s and the amount of times I had to physically pull him off of animals throughout the day was ridiculous, I kept telling him, Steve its a fucking emu... It isn't trying to steal your wife mate!
I thought this was weed memes for a second
Some men just want to watch the world learn.
