All of us, including the gods, have to do some serious thinking, however uncomfortable it may be, or else you can get yourself killed! I myself have experienced the discomfort of thinking.
One of my favorite Newton facts (for which the author should never get any kudos) is that there are more than 100 species of fox. All of them have very similar shapes, body types, and fur patterns (even though they come from completely different taxonomic families!).
The main difference is that they vary in sizes from about 2 pounds to 20 pounds.
Many species’ fur patterns can only be distinguished by careful examination of their pelts. (There are also literal DNA tests available if that’s the kind of thing you’re looking for.)
Foxes reproduce mostly by laying one or a few eggs.
Foxes in Europe are usually classified by their coat colors. But the exact color of their tails (which are different in different breeds) are important in distinguishing certain species (the European fox with black tail is called the polecat, the European fox with white tail is the kit fox, the European fox with a black and white tail is, obviously, the kit fox with black tail, etc).
Foxes can learn to speak. I’m not sure how well they can do this, but there are recordings of some of them (I know of one recorded near my college, although I don’t recall where; the one I heard was about a “kinky” fox being filmed in the 1970s).
I am very pleased with how many of my new followers are actually into my blog’s content. I feel less like a novelty act and more like a sort of culty, weird-ass social circle of internet weirdos, which is probably not a thing I need more of but at the same time I’m really happy to know there are at least a few people following me because they actually like what I post
The best part of the current American election cycle is that we can now make “dank memes” about the candidates in the same way we used to make “dank memes” about candidates in a previous cycle
“Can we go back to the days when everything seemed so simple, even if we never left the park? There was no one to worry about, no one to make us sad and scared – even when something happened. No one but us.”
You can only be friends with one person at a time. The site must either work offline, or be a device that connects to the internet and uploads any changes made to its user database as they occur
You have a friend with you at all times. While you may be away, your friend is present, always. The world can never truly change if you are there, always.
You have a list of the 100 people you care the most about. Your closest friends, and only their friends, may access the list. Anyone who you don’t list is unknown to you. You have a list in a safe place that can never, ever be read.
You always need to be wearing a mask or a face mask. If you look in a mirror, you need to be wearing a mask that is made of a material different from your own flesh. If you look at your own face too long, you will grow a new pair of eyeballs. They will be the same eyeballs as you, but made of rubber or other non-tissue-based material. You can take the eyes out of your head (or leave them there). You cannot remove them from the eyeballs, or you’ll end up with two of the same eyeballs. There are many kinds of eyeballs. Your eyeballs will always be different, but not more or less different than any other eyeballs. You can wear the same set of eyeballs for a very long time, without wearing new ones. If you wear too many eyeballs, they will fall out of your head and roll away, and the cycle will restart. If you are not wearing an eyeface, your eyes will be replaced by an eyeball for each eye socket.
You always need to be dressed up. You don’t have a full set of human clothes for everyday use, but that is OK. You own a full outfit of non-human clothing. You can change outfits without having to change into any human clothing. You can change outfits at will.
He believes that, as human beings, we live in a society that is deeply flawed. Society is sick and we suffer from a disease called “carcinization,” in which individuals are increasingly “reprogrammed” into malignant creatures in search of “dignity.” To cure the disease he believes that we must return to the “sacred values” of our original “ancestor” that predate the current “cancerous” values.
Setting aside the metaphor-for-society bit, that’s actually the first connection I’ve seen made between carcinization and cancer as in the disease, that’s got potential.
