This sounds fun as hell.

[peopleare-overrated]

fun fact, i thought jára cimrman was a real person until my mom told me when I was 13

[lynxs-shitposting-inc]

Weakling.

I know people who were willing to argue that Cimrman was a real historical figure at their maturita exams.

[mist-the-wannabe-linguist]

arguing about Cimrman’s realness is actually a glorious way to fuck with many teachers, since almost the whole country is in on the joke that Cimrman was a real person, when you convincingly argue that Cimrman invented/wrote/discovered XY, the teacher is effectively trapped because either they have to accept your bullshit explanation or admit that Cimrman is not real and therefore break the joke and betray the national pride

many of my highschool teachers would preemptively inform us that they will not accept Cimrman as an answer (“we know, we know, he helped invent everything, write about the other people”) just to avoid this

[IMAGE ID: A tweet by “minh tâm h. 🌾 on concrete” @HAEDRAULICS on Apr 20: “everything everywhere all at once had me writing down english class notes in the theatre” with two drawings of sets of two nested circles, one black with a white center, one white with a black center. They are respectively labeled, “the bagel (yin) // -life is mostly dull and bad // -joy is fleeting and ultimately meaningless” and, “the googly eye (yang) // -life is mostly good and worthwhile // suffering is transient and fixable” END ID]

dracula and jonathan

like, almost ten years ago I saw an original stage adaption* of the novel that was so good I still think about it, so in honor of all the dracula posting going on: the scene from the play that fundamentally changed something in me at age 17.

*it was created to compete in a regional theater competition so alas, it mostly exists in the memory of those who got to see it that year and also in the handful of photos I have from that production on an old flash drive

[homunculus-argument]

I wanted to look up what kind of dogs the vikings had in order to make a historically accurate shitpost meme, but while googling "viking dog", figuring I'd find pictures of some kind of big cool war dogs or dogs used for hunting moose and bear, but instead I found this

the noble vallhund

herder of cows and biter of ankles

This is literally a viking corgi.

[aeruh]

Rosemary? You mean spicy pine needles?

[malus-syl-vestris]

Are you insinuating that regular pine needles aren’t spicy???

[aeruh]

Regular pine needles are regular

[malus-syl-vestris]

Not by rosemary standards

[aeruh]

…Have you eaten pine needles?

[malus-syl-vestris]

We’ve been friends for like four years, do you seriously have to ask if I’ve eaten pine needles or not

[aeruh]

I mean I’m pretty sure you have but I don’t want to assume

[malus-syl-vestris]

Of course I’ve eaten pine needles. Various kinds. Singleleaf pinyon is weirdly the best

[aeruh]

Are they…

spicy?

[malus-syl-vestris]

You know, I’d love to tell you but I’m pretty unclear about what marks the difference between “spice” and “strong-tasting plant that isn’t considered a spice”

[aeruh]

I’ll have to eat some pine needles myself then to find out

[malus-syl-vestris]

Ok but it only counts if they’re PINE needles and not just any old needle-like leaf off a tree

[aeruh]

I’m going to eat every needle-like leaf I see

[malus-syl-vestris]

Please Don’t Do That

[aeruh]

Needle-Like Leaf Roulette

[malus-syl-vestris]

…I’ll accept this plan as long as you promise not to eat any yew leaves.

[aeruh]

I can try very hard not to

[malus-syl-vestris]

Pine needles are distinguished by the presence of a sheath-like structure at the base of the leaf, almost always holding bundles of two or more leaves. Yews don’t have the sheath thing

[aeruh]

It’s time for me to go out into the woods and stare at needle leaves

[malus-syl-vestris]

Finally you can gain real insight into my average daily life

[silverjirachi]

this conversation reads like two shakespeare characters who come out in the middle of the play to talk about something completely unrelated for comic relief and then are never heard from again

god fucking dammit gimme a minute

Enter AERUH and MALUS SYL-VESTRIS, a pair of JESTERS.

AERUH
I tell thee, rosemary is like a pine
but with a spicy taste.

MALUS
                        Art thou to claim
that needles base of pine have not a spice?

AERUH
A needle base of pine is merely base.

MALUS
‘Tis not when held, comparing, to anthos.

AERUH
My dearest Malus, needles thou'st eaten?

MALUS
How many moons have we as friends seen rise?
How many suns have we as friends seen set?
Thou sixteen seasons in my heart I’ve held,
and hope that I in thine hast been the same.
With brotherhood as rich and old as this,
thou needst not ask me such frivolities.

AERUH
I know thou likely has, to tell the truth,
but I would not assume.

MALUS
                      Well, yes, I have.
A multitude of types I’ve eaten too.
I’ll tell thee now: the best (though it is strange)
is single-leaf pinyon.

AERUH
                    And it has spice?

MALUS
I truly wish that I could tell thee this,
but now, i'faith, I cannot fully tell,
the difference in classifying thus:
to say “has spice” or merely “herbal strength”.

AERUH
To tell this tale most clearly it would seem
that eating needles from a pine’s required.

MALUS
Aye, it would seem that that’s the task at hand,
but caution tells that this is what’s to do:
eat only needles of the honest pine,
and none of lying leaf with pinelike shape.

AERUH
I’ll eat them all.

MALUS
                  I prithee, stay thyself.

AERUH
Roulette with leaves.

MALUS
                    At least restrain from yew.

AERUH
I’ll do my best.

MALUS
               That is all can we do.
The scholars tell that needles true of pine
can be distinguished from the lying yew
by sheathlike clothing all along the base;
the yew has no such guard.

AERUH
                         With this new truth
I now will venture out into the wood
and seek the pines and pinelike fakes alike
to stare them down and learn their secret truths.

MALUS
With this thou canst at long and weary last
Discover for thyself my life’s own path.

Exeunt.

Enter MACDUFF.

MACDUFF.
Yo dudes that king there’s dead. Like dead as FUCK.
