Box jellyfish are like somebody deliberately set out to create the most fucked up jellyfish they possibly could. Like, it's not enough that they're one of the only families of jellyfish that have true image-forming eyes (i.e., as opposed to light-sensing eyespots), and that they exhibit complex, goal-directed movement, they also sport an apparently unique form of venom whose recorded symptoms include "a sensation of impending doom". A box jellyfish will see you, chase you down, and give you a case of existential dread. What the fuck.

I’m going to be going through an intense personal crisis for about a month starting on Christmas Eve, and the fact that I’m going to be very online over there while it’s going on is going to be very weird and I won’t be able to promise people anything because I have no idea what I’m doing
oh god yeah me
Me too! It will be super weird and I’ll probably not communicate with anyone at all except the like six people I know irl who I’ve decided to hang out with because I have no idea what I’m doing.
Good luck everyone!
Gävlebocken had its inaugarution day
yesterday (november 28th). It has survived the last four years, time to place your bets on if the streak will extend to five or not.

Sometimes if you’re very lucky and you have amazing talented friends, and you repeatedly bring up your desperate need for more barfights in fic, you get something like this. @summerofspock you’re too good to me. :)

so much happier now that im back to eating an onion every day. Maybe, I was born with an onion deficiency
@raginrayguns, is it a good idea to eat "at least one onion a week" to keep up your natural level?
seven a week
to keep up my natural level of onion
no, to compensate for my onion deficiency and achieve the natural level of onion
I don’t get the joke.
I think maybe I’m reading your onion usage pattern wrong.
Are onions that you eat everyday in small amounts a natural thing? The idea makes sense, but I’m not sure what it means in the context of eating onions a lot.

Ahh, OK. I guess this is related to my weird onion confusion.
I see a lot of “eating an onion is bad for you.” but, for some reason, it’s not intuitive to me that eating an onion in very small amounts could make me an onion surplus. It seems like I must eat something like an onion every day by nature. Is that right?
