When ants die, a few days later they emit oleic acid, which tells the living ants to dispose of their corpse.
A myrmecologist named Ed Wilson discovered this and dropped the chemical on a living ant. It was immediately carried off, despite the fact that it was still moving, and clearly not dead.
I’ve had this post saved up for days, waiting to release it when I ran out of other posts, because this is easily the greatest thing I have ever voiced, and I don’t think I’ll ever be able to top it
but people keep sending me stuff, and I keep finding stuff on my own, so here it is! based on this hilarious comic by @liberlibelulaart
please do keep sending me stuff! I’ve really enjoyed doing this the last couple of months, and even though there’s still more to come, it’s mostly down to dumb luck, and the well is going to dry up real soon
hands down the best twitter story ever
The gaang plays a stupid game which basically tests how good zuko is at finding shit.
It starts off with aang trying to make zuko more likeable by showing how good he is at finding things. He hides their supplies in a weird part of the western air temple and is like “don’t worry. I’m sure zuko can find it by the end of the day.” He finds it in ten minutes.
The game gets more ridiculous. Aang hides their supply bag in secret rooms that not even he knew existed up until now. Katara freezes it in a block of ice and submerges it in a nearby lake. Sokka trains Appa to keep it in his mouth for long periods of time without swallowing it. Zuko finds it every damn time.
They’re impressed and somewhat unsettled by how good he is at this game. But they absolutely lose their shit when it comes to toph’s turn. She hides the supply bag deep underground and assures them that zuko can’t possibly find it unless he magically became an earth bender and learned seismic sense overnight.
Zuko kinda struggles with this one until he walks over the patch of dirt where toph buried the bag. It looks normal but he feels...different somehow?
Everyone’s thinking “oh god. Oh no. He can’t possibly do it. Don’t tell me he’s gonna do it.” Zuko silently points below his feet and the rest of the gaang have a collective breakdown.
Zuko’s like, “does this mean you guys think I’m cool now?” They’re all too terrified to say anything but “y-yeah sure.” And poor zuko is too socially inept to hear the fear in their voices. He just smiles and thinks his friends are liking him more now.
I heard someone swear “you mother fuck!” over the phone the other day, and all I could think of was this
I love this parallel.
EDIT: …just realized i forgot the veil on her hat.
OH!
Oh! Oh! Oh!!!
YOU KNOW WHAT PLOT WE NEED IN THE SHOW?!
(aside from consistancy)
Commanding Kwamis... Gabriel could LITERALLY command Nooroo into forcible silence.
How devastating of a revelation would this be for Marinette and Adrien if they found out about this by accident.
Like.. they "know " they can command their Kwami... but COMMAND their Kwami??? To a point that it scares them that what they say and the hold it has on their partners???
Perhaps Marinette gets so invested in her work, and she's even got Tikki helping her, sets her on one repetitive task, but she soon realizes that Tikki is getting tired, and asks why she hasnt stopped and taken a break, and Tikki is like, 'Well, you told me to help you, and so I must. Dont worry Marinette, it's fun!' Marinette is like, but you didn't stop when you needed to. 'You gave me a command, so I must follow.'
Marinette freaks a little and makes a visit to Master Fu and have a "review" over the whole Miraculous holder schlep, since he obviously withholds information.
For Adrien, he just got put down by his Father again, is super frustrated, he's irate, he has so much to do, and he just wants to be with his friends or relax.
Plagg is trying to cheer him up, or he went the sarcastic route and starts flitting about the room, being "obnoxious". Adrien snaps and tells Plagg to just sit down and behave for once. He walks off to do whatever he was going to.
Later, he realizes Plagg had been awfully, and uncharacteristically quiet. Even for a naptime. He finds him exactly where he saw him last.
Stoically sitting, quietly. Staring at the surface he's sitting on. Adrien inquired at the behavior, and Plagg upright just says, you TOLD me to, and I have to obey my Master. Confused, Plagg, ever so briefly, sums up that He's just an all powerful Kwami. But has to obey his Master's every whim.
Adrien has a bit of a melt down, picking Plagg up and apologizing. Maybe tearing up a bit, vows to never do that to Plagg again.

And for a nice icing on the cake, Ladybug and Chat actually discuss it, communicate on it.
Ladybug is actually the one who brings it up, and Chat's floodgates just open and he tells Ladybug what happened, and vice versa. Have a heart to heart and talk about how they can show their Kwamis their appreciation.

Etc etc.
me, your friendly neighborhood villain apologist: zuko was never evil he was just 16
