So I saw a post about someone not realising they had to put their hotel key in the little card holder by door to turn their electricity on.
Those sort of hotel rooms are very common where I live but it looked like it might not be as common in the US?
I didn’t have enough slots for all the continents AND thé US so please look at the reblog for South America
Please reblog for reach i am so curious

[Image description: Tweet by darth_erogenous that says: Rastafarian guy in the sauna this morning was telling me I should be making my own honey. “Anyone can buy a bee”, he sadd. I nodded, taking it to heart. There was a 10 second pause, after which a Polish bodybuilder in the corner interjected: “you need more bee”. End description]

'can we normalize this'
'we need to normalize that'
can you all shut the fuck up for a minute and reconsider how constantly demanding normalization only retrenches the moral position that weird = bad?
like no you're not actually going to be able to normalize a lot of stuff, because it's statistically unusual or aberrant. you can't normalize shit that is not by any definition normal.
what you need to do is fucking stand up for the weirdos, freaks, and deviants, and remind everyone who is normal that their position just makes them normal. not good, not right, not correct, not better, not perfect, not beyond reproach or improvement.
being weird isn't bad. stop normalizing that, already.
I think a lot of people are using the word "normalize" when they should be using the word "destigmatize".
Normalizing brings an idea into the circle of "acceptable" behaviour without questioning or deconstructing that circle.
Destigmatizing brings the walls of the circle down by un-making the distinction between what's in the circle and what's outside of the circle--its no longer a bad thing to be outside the circle.
fuck normal, but absolutely toss that stigma to the curb
What are these and what are they for, please?
Look like various forms of wall anchor, not sure if the specific types have names (they probably do). Idea is that they are used to mount something to a wall where a screw by itself wouldn't stay in the drywall (or other thing wall material). Basically I need to put a screw here but behind here isn't a stud. Also this video doesn't show it but the idea is that you first drill a hole in the wall big enough to fit the wall anchor through, and then as you tighten the screw, it causes the anchor to expand and keep the whole unit from being ripped out.
neat! thank you
Important addition that, while the action of these anchors are fascinating, the important thing to know is their holding weight. The visualization here lets you see why and how they can hold more weight than just a screw or bolt alone, but it’s still important to pay attention to the type of anchor you are using when mounting something and making sure it can hold the amount of weight needed. Hardware stores should have a weight rating listed on the product.
It’s good practice to err on the side of a heavier weight rating than expected. No need for overkill (those metal anchors are generally used for heavy ceiling mounts or really heavy wall mounts) but going a size up if you aren’t exactly sure of the weight load is a good idea.
If you’re mounting anything that’s expected to undergo regular strain (i.e. something non-decorative like a swing or a cat shelf) take the time to find a stud, because drywall will wear out over time even with anchors and should not be relied upon to support repeated stress. The last thing you need is your entire drywall anchor popping out and taking everything attached with it.

Papercraft commission of Yuga from LoZ: A Link Between Worlds! I really enjoyed working with his design (so colorful!), and also had fun reading up on the game itself - transforming into 2D art?? What a creative game mechanic!

They're actually interchangable, but for History Reasons optical discs got called "discs" (from the latin discus, meaning a round flat thing), while discs in cartridges got called "disks", as a shortened version of diskette, by analogy with "cassette": a small case.
So laserdiscs, CDs, DVDs, blu-rays, and similar are all "discs": They're generally rigid circles, without a case that protects them.
While floppy disks are "disks": They're a flexible (ie "floppy") magnetic circle inside a plastic/vinyl/metal case.
But all that said, no one will misunderstand you if you type "floppy disc" or "blu-ray disk". So it's a distinction without a meaning: it's just historical etymology differences. Say/type whichever you want.
#normally I secretly pride myself on knowing this kind of subtle orthographic detail even if I place no larger value on its significance#(all orthography is made up! and English orthography in particular is a nightmarish mess)#but I admit I largely treat these as interchangeable to the point where I couldn’t even have told you#why I might choose one over the other in specific circumstances#I suppose it’s because there’s almost no semantic distinction to begin with
