that's a potato with wings and nobody can convince me otherwise

Peep the stats

absolutely insane shit happening on twitter

The problem appears to be that Trump's cult showed up, but nobody else did.

I think, it's not so much his cult as.... Trump has a lock on low (really NO) information voters,

so take 2022 Democrats did really well for a midterm, expanded their senate majority and lost the house very narrowly, but only 46% of voters showed up, in 2024 67% of voters turned out, that 20% of the American public that didn't vote in 2022 but did in 2024 likely don't know what a midterm is.

and for people like that, Trump speaks in HYPER, MEGA! simple terms, terms so simple they're wrong even when he's not trying to lie (which he often is) like "build a wall" well thats not actually physically possible, but no amount of pushing back that there was no way to do that got him to stop saying it or his supporters to stop cheering for a thing that couldn't be done, and it was not done, because it wasn't physically possible.

we live in a country PACKED with people who don't understand how anything works, and Trump won because he speaks at a 2nd grade level and there's where 50-ish% of voting Americans are at rn.

Any Woobat/Swoobat facts? <3

I already did Swoobat facts, but I haven't done Woobat yet!

Woobat Facts

-The scientific name for Woobat is "Cardilorus Chiroptera" which roughly translates to "Courting-heart bat"

-Like their scientific name suggests, Woobat are chiropterans, and their closest relatives are Zubat

-It's a common misconception that Chiropterans don't bump into each other in the dark. That isn't true. Zubat bump into each other constantly when they're not using their echo location. But, Woobat bump into each other a lot less in larger colonies. Researchers believe that it is their psychic abilities allowing them to sense the other Woobat easier

-It's also a common misconception that Woobat don't have eyes, however, this isn't the case. Woobat have beady little eyes under their fur, but they dint have very good eyesight, so they instead use echo location and psychic abilities to navigate their surroundings

-It was a common belief in Unova and Galar that the heart-nose that Woobar has is good luck. In Unova, it's still a common practice to try and get a Woobat to stamp something in order to bring good fortune to thst item, so many people will try to have a Woobat stamp their forehead in hand. In Galar though, this belief made people in Galar hunt Woobat in order to take their nose

-Woobat crossbreeds are very common since Woobat aren't at all picky with their mates

-Woobat sleep by sticking their suction-cupped noses to a surface and sticking there. They always leave a heart-shaped mark when they are done. When it's cold, Woobat will huddle close together to keep warm. It makes them look like a giant ball off fluff, and leaves a clump of heart-stamps wherever they slept

-Woobat live in large colonies in either caves or forests. The ones I. Galar are more likely to be found in caves (I think it was to avoid being hunted)

-When a male Woobat courts another pokemon, they will bring them food, flutter around them, and emit ultrasonic waves from his nose

-While Woobat shoot their psychic powers through their nose, their psychic abilities don't come from their nose. Their psychic abilities come from a part of their brain known as the psycholobe, but they just shoot the beam through their nose bcuz it's there

-Some old civilizations mistook Woobata for baby goblins. I blame Swoobat'a appearance for that

-Despite bats like Zubat and Noinar hibernating, Woobat and Swoobat do not hibernate. Instead, they'll gain a lot of fluff and fat during the winter and scrounge for the food they can

-While many people find Woobat and their antics annoying, Woobat are actually very good for the environment. They eat pests, and their waste is good fertilizer. Many farmers enjoy Woobat a lot, and some farmers will purposely try to attract woobat to their farms

By the way, I saw in the news today that thousands of mail-in ballots in Nevada can't yet be certified because the signature on the envelope doesn't match the name on the voter registration. They suggested that this could be attributed to young people not being used to signing their name.

So if you're a young person in a swing state who voted by mail, it'd be a good idea to check that there isn't a problem with your ballot. They official said they'll be contacting all of the voters in question, but you could be proactive in making sure.

This bat is alive! Just being X-rayed.

What do you mean you didn’t order more bats?

(This is the last of it, I promise)

I love everything about this concept. Although my mind goes in the direction of then informing Mr. Heuristic about some of those absolutely wonky esolangs.

...tmw dude just starts coding exclusively in malbolge and it's just... how?

I feel like nibblers would absolutely LOVE computers if they ever got the chance to try one out

So I drew a nibbler trying to learn how to code on a Macintosh plus. His name is Heuristic
