The Oldest Forest Ever Discovered →
oldowan:
This is the second fossilized forest that has stunned researchers this month, and it’s also the oldest. It’s 385 million years old, from the time when the earth’s first forests appeared. And it was all buried beneath a quarry in Upstate New York.
Scientists had found bits of evidence that these ancient trees existed during a 1920 excavation to build the nearby Gilboa Dam. But after...
Earliest human paintings ever discovered in a cave...
iheartchaos:
In the Cave of Nerja, in Málaga, Spain, the above painting was discovered and dated to be 42,000 years old, making them the oldest human artwork ever found. Or maybe they’re human. There’s also a very good chance the art was made by Neanderthals, during the hominid species’ last stand, pushed back to the Iberian peninsula.

Racist Middle Aged Woman Ruins My Bubble Tea
Me: Entering bubble tea shop. I order bubble tea with coconut milk(NOM) from blonde white girl clerk
In my periphery is this middle aged woman sitting at the front desk, idly picking at products. Enter young, cute Cambodian man and his friend.
Clerk and Cambodian boy chat friendly, joke around. Boy leaves.
Middle Aged Derp: Do you know that boy?
Cashier Girl: Yes, he's my cousin.
MAD: HE is YOUR cousin? He's not white
CG: Well he's my fiancé's cousin.
MAD: So your fiancé is a Philippino?!
CG: No, they're not Philippino.
MAD: Well what are they then? That boy had slanty eyes.
CG: They're Cambodian.
MAD: You're dating a Cambodian?
CG: Um. Yes.
MAD: Well he certainly is a firecracker! (she says this in this "knowing" way)
CG: Unimpressed expression.
Middle Aged Derp Dingus continues to speak about the strangeness of bubble tea and wondering why these asians put jelly in their tea. Then she starts asking me what the "white stuff" in my tea is. It's coconut milk. In the process she drops an expensive piece of carved stone on the floor.
KFC

kennypedia:
no black people actually get fried chicken from there, that’s what makes white people seem so ignorant. KFC is good for grilled chicken, biscuits (Popeyes is better anyway), those bowls, and those double down shits.
But if you live in any decent black neighborhood there ought to be a chicken spot anyway with no name, just “MLK Street Market”.
It’s all about that...
Evolutionary question, answered →

oldowan:
A new paper published in the Royal Society’s Biology Letters journal, shows that early experimental studies of the peppered moth, as taught to many American high school students, are “completely correct,” co-author James Mallet, Distinguished Lecturer on Organismic and Evolutionary Biology, said.
I’m holding out judgement until I read the actual study and find out more...

I’m not attracted to vulva, either, but I don’t think it’s disgusting. It’s amaaaaazing. From a distance. But still, like, grow the fuck up. It’s just a pussy. That’s it. See the clit, see the labia majora, labia minora? See the urethra? See it? SEE IT? It’s beautiful. Sometimes it bleeds….

Trigger Warning: Racial Slurs
ladyatheist:
Apparently “NiggerHistoryMonth” is a thing on twitter now.
I guess I can take a microscopic bit of solace in the fact that only a select few dumbasses have been using it. Ugh!
What’s the deal with these tools? Seriously. Do they secretly loathe themselves, are they willfully ignorant or are they actually that vile?
