What if oxygen is poisonous and it just takes 75-100 years to kill us?
My science teacher said he thinks that’s true actually
Yeah this is actually pretty much exactly what is going on. It’s why anti-oxidants are such a big deal. Bonus fact: oxygen oxidizes stuff in your cells or, in other words, it’s not toxic, just setting you on fire very very slowly.
What if there are aliens out there but they subsist on entirely different substances and they’re just scared as shit of us and our crazy ass hell planet? Once in a while some alien anthropologist type suggests checking out the people on this inhabited planet out towards the galaxy’s edge. The other aliens just look at the naive academic with horror. No!! We do not go to that world. That is where the DEATH BREATHERS live. They recreationally consume poisons and are more or less composed of biological fire. Their atmosphere is made of rocket fuel. We must leave the DEATH BREATHERS in peace. Do not go there. Do not.
I tend to always reblog posts about humans being terrifying weirdos to aliens.
okay but…that is actually what went down on earth about 2.5 billion years ago.
Earth was doing just fine with a mostly nitrogen/carbon dioxide atmosphere and everyone was happy to go on living in anaerobic bliss and then cyanobacteria suddenly hit the scene, altered the atmosphere composition so that there was a ton of oxygen gas and killed practically everything (97% or more of all species on earth).
We are literally descendants of the DEATH BREATHERS and cyanobacteria is our deadly mother.
The cyanobacteria holocaust is so big, it doesn’t even have a cool name; it’s just called “The Great Oxygenation Event”; the *second* most apocalyptic extinction event in our planet’s history is the one that’s called THE GREAT DYING (the Permian-Triassic event, about 252 million years ago).
This shit makes like the rock-throwing that wiped out the dinosaurs look like kindergarten.
OH HOW I LOVE THIS POST. It makes me so much happier about being alive. I AM BURNING VERY SLOWLY. *hugs it*
I know this is a tad more serious, but what Mark is doing, making fun of anyone who makes any theory is not okay. Longer post to come with citations, but with everything he’s done, the fandom is just done with making any theories at all. In this recent bs, we know he’s up to something but tbh there haven’t really been any theories bc he makes fun of anyone who makes them..
I understand how you feel but I also hope you understand context matters as much as the words. Mark was joking around with his fans, the second he has to be careful around us is the second things get bad. He is honest with us and jokes about whatever pops up in his head. There arn’t many YouTubers or public figure that cares about the individuals that helped get him to where he is today! I myself theorize on Darkiplier and other subjects in this fandom and I did NOT feel offended by his words. Why? Because his intention was not to hurt anyone. If you are sensitive to his words, I’m really sorry. But there was no ill will in his words nor would he seriously hate people theorizing on his work. And on the point you made on “there haven’t been any theories bc he makes fun of anyone who makes them”, that’s not true. At least for me because I have a made a few theories as of late, reblogged some very intersting theories and seen them frequently as I am watch the tags all the time. So to my knowledge, that does not seem to be the case. Unless you have proof of this, I won’t change my mind. I get it, a lot of people are concerned that Mark might be acting in a way that they dislike, but things like this might be the reason one day he might interact with Tumblr less. Or not cause I don’t think he would care about anyone’s opinion and I think that’s a smart way to live your life! The way I deal with tumblr, is not to take every little thing seriously and to step back when things get too much. You have your opinion and I have mine. I respect that you feel this way, absolutely! Thanks for reading this if you had, I know it’s long sorry! ❤
modern greek mythology adaptation where hades and persephone are played by john mulaney and his wife
She’s hades, he’s Persephone
Oh no, no. John Mulaney is 100% Hades.
Loves his wife
Is actually pretty chill except when it comes to stupid people
Can’t stand up for himself when others try to do him wrong
And from what we hear about her, she’s very Persephone.
Easy to underestimate
Knows her own mind
Will cut you
“So, I meet this wonderful lady. Just fantastic, my heart does that thing where it’s skipping beats, and I – all of you think I’m going to talk about how I suavely asked her out, and that is not what happened.
“I ride up in my chariot, and the first – this is literally the first thing I say to her is ‘do you want to meet my dog’?
“And this – I – this is a sign that this woman is my soul mate – she looks at her friends hanging around and says, ‘sure, catch you later, guys’.
“I’m going to skip forward here a couple of dates – no, don’t – this is not the story of how my wife met my dog – and her mom – her mom – finds out she’s seeing me. Now I know everyone jokes about how a girl’s dad is this big, hulking – going to hunt you down if you’re dating his daughter and he doesn’t like you. But if you say that, it’s because you’ve never had some girl’s mom glaring up at you from like – her mom’s like two inches taller than her, so this little furious glare from around my chin area, saying her daughter’s not allowed to come see me anymore.
“And this – okay, this is when I knew I was going to marry this girl, she looks at her mom and, cool as anything, says, ‘Too late, mom. I met his dog, ate dinner over here. I’m staying’.”
my irl friend is gonna see this with no context please. help

Puss sat at home and shined his boots, not an ounce of light in his eyes. It rained outside, and he hated water with a burning passion. His boots newly shined, he set them down and made his way to his room. All of a sudden he heard a knock on the door. Well, more like a tap. “Who’s there?” He said. “Let me in” a voice answered. The voice was somewhat deep, about the same as Puss’s. Puss opened the door and an orange cat of the same height stood in the doorway. His frame was a bit wider than Puss’s, noticably so. “O-oh, I wasn’t expecting company. Come in, come in.” Puss said, stuttering. Puss’s eyes glowed as he examined the stranger, his soft fur, bright and captivating eyes, and gentle expression. Puss stepped aside so he could get in. His wet, orange fur glimmered in the dim sunlight. Puss was speechless and let his mouth hang open. “So… have any lasagna?” “What?” “Lasagna. I love lasagna.” “O-oh! Well, um, no. I’m afraid I do not. But I do have some mice in the fridge if you’d like some?” Puss shuffled his paws awkwardly, hoping the stranger wouldn’t mind. “Mmm…not as good, but it’ll suffice.” He walked over to the kitchen and pulled out a mouse, and examined it. “Eh.” He tossed it aside. “So,, what’s your name?” Puss asked. “Oh, me? Well. Garfield.” Garfield licked his paw and swept his head fur back. “And you?” “Puss in boots. But people call me Puss.” Puss bowed and removed his hat. “You from around here?” “Nope, just came lookin for some lasagna.” “You can have my lasagna-” “What” “n-nothing! I was just-” Garfield hushed Puss with a single paw. “You’re cool, Puss. I like you. But before we go any further I want lasagna.” So Puss made lasagna and the two made out, watched Shrek 2, played minecraft and made out together. Bi icons forever #dont change my mind, if you disagree don’t interact! i have so much homework to do by tomorrow good NIGHT fishy friends
