Slime mold was grown on an agar gel plate shaped like America and food sources were placed where America’s large cities are.
The result? A possible look at how to best build public transportation.
I just really like the idea of slime mold on a map of the US. It’s beautiful.
I’m—
holy shit
I have a raging science ladyboner right now.
I’d love if we could do it on a state-by-state basis.
That same slime mold once affirmed that the Tokyo subway is pretty well-designed.

Natural computation: it’s a thing, and it’s awesome. What is the universe but a really, really complicated computer?
I love this.

hate how they forced bugs bunny into anti-weed propaganda in the 90s, as if bugs bunny wouldn’t love smoking weed
To be perfectly fair, bugs bunny would also love taking money for starring in anti-weed propaganda and then using said money to buy weed
saw someone share this on their ig stories and i am obsessed
Stranger, if you didn't already know Bugs Bunny is a trickster god, your tumblr experience is very different from mine.
GENDERFLUID ICON BUGS BUNNY
If you didn't already know Bugs Bunny was an archetypical trickster, your LIFE experience is very different from mine. Rabbit is an existing animal trickster archetype even, I'm p sure that's *why* Bugs is a bunny.

a smaller relative of the cecropia moth, these are one of the less well-known giant silkmoths in the US, but they might just be my favorite species to raise.

Bugs Bunny accidentally transformed the word nimrod into a synonym for idiot because nobody got a joke where he sarcastically compared Elmer Fudd to the Biblical figure Nimrod, a mighty hunter.
Etymology is ridiculous and terrifying sometimes
Bugs Bunny is more powerful than God
happy ace day everyone!!!!
[image ID: two versions of the bugs bunny “I wish all x a very y” meme. They both have bugs bunny wearing a tuxedo and looking at the viewer with his hands clasped in front of him. The first image has text that has been edited to read “i wish all aces a very pleasant international asexuality day”. The ace pride flag is below the word “aces”. The text in the second image has been edited to read “i wish all aphobes a very shut the fuck up” /end ID]
The thing about bugs bunny is that he lives and dies by his bits. He’s fully capable of killing you if he wanted, but the thing is, not only is he a nice guy, he’s a funny guy. To beat bugs bunny, many people assume that you just have to not fall for the jokes. If he hits you with a pie, you don’t flinch, and eventually you’ll ware him down. The issue is, misery will only last you so long. There’s only so much bits to endure before it becomes funny. And whoever is getting laughed at is losing. Instead, to kill bugs bunny, you have to beat him at his own game. When he throws a pie, don’t try to sidestep or be a sourpuss, that’s playing into his hands. Instead, you comically open your mouth and swallow it whole. This is how you kill a god.
Not in the fucking slightest ^_^

In front of Bugs there is a jar of honey, a stack of apples and pomegranates. In front of bug's mouth there is a shofar.]
