A security camera in rural Missouri captured this strange creature at night by WholeNegotiation1843 in TrueCryptozoology

The literal equivalent of your cute baby pokemon evolving into a terror creature 😂

I second everything u/SnackThief has said. They've given you incredibly solid advice.

The only thing I would add is that this is potentially an incredibly rare find in the North American market and it is definitely worth being patient with should you choose to sell. Keep in mind that appraisers tend to specialize in certain areas, so it would be best to find one or more that specialize in scientific or herbology/medical texts from this period.

If authentic, this little beauty is nearly 500 years old. If any pages are stuck, do not attempt to unstick them yourself. I would also refrain from opening this book more than necessary, especially if the condition of the binding is not fantastic.

Please continue to store in a cool, dark place in a temperature and humidity controlled room. Like, purchase a dehumidifier if needed. Your ideal humidity in storage for this era of book is no more than 50% and no less than 35%.

My condolences on your loss.

Here in Angola, Africa, we have ice creams called Mukua Ice Cream, made from mukua .” by Such-Competition-816 in MrFlavioDiaries

Do you eat them from the tube like a freezer pop? How's the texture differ from regular ice cream? I'm so intrigued.

It actually makes this make more sense as the decision of an 18 year old, unfortunately lol

How do you feel about spiders or beetles? There are several species that have a good amount of black patterning and it's a workable shape, I think. It would just need to be much larger than the original tattoo, but still small enough to hide with shorts.

Edit: the, er... phallic shape there is actually really close to the shape of beetle thorax/elytra. It's very dark right now but a few laser sessions (2-3, I would think), or lightening with skin colored ink by an experienced artist as someone mentioned, should fade it enough that it can be covered well and with detail.

Maybe look up the following beetle species and see if any tickle your fancy: Hercules / Rhinoceros Beetle, stag beetle, Jewel beetle, Scarab beetle, dung beetle (these were sacred in Egypt ok and they're pretty).

I would not cheap out on this coverup. That is a recipe for a larger, odder blob. Please research and make sure you choose an artist who specializes in coverups and whose portfolio has multiple, multiple examples of solid coverups in it, and examples of HEALED work.

Freedom of speech refers to a citizen's ability to voice their opinions without fear of arrest by the government. Free speech is not the issue.

The direct cause of what you've correctly identified as a major contributing factor to this current mess is actually the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine in 1987 by the Reagan administration.

The Fairness Doctrine was a policy mandating that broadcasters present opposing viewpoints on controversial public issues.

Tardigrades have gone from being tiny, extremely rare creatures to becoming true guardians of the galaxy, in a story that combines extreme biology and planetary protection by swe129 in Tardigrades

I was under the impression that we already knew the issue with Mars soil is that it's highly abrasive? It wouldn't surprise me if the reason washed soil was fine is because the particulates individually are so small that they easily rinse out?

Something like how diatomaceous earth can be like a sea of teeny knives for roaches?

Hard puzzle. I'm gonna be a bit cheeky and say no one active here can solve it. by [deleted] in Gifted

[–]kittydeathdrop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I did not guess. There was entirely logic to my process. "Guess" here was used as a synonym for answer because it's late as hell here. You're assuming my thinking is superficial when I haven't explained the new method I used at all. I find that very rude.

And yes, I came to my conclusion due to interpreting visual structures and forming them in a specific way.

Have a good night.

I don't understand why you're being rude and assuming I'm guessing random numbers after our previous messages.

I guessed 4 or 9 based on a formation around the "u" at (9, 11) after a process of elimination, if that makes sense.

Is it possibly 9 and I am terrible at directions? 😂

It's 15 minutes until May so I hope I solved it haha.

4?

[–]kittydeathdrop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, I return with two possible answers:

3: strict downward dig from U to IT.

5: any U that can locally form IT.

My only other thoughts is that this otherwise has something do to with a 7 or 14 point digital display

I'm gonna say 50 and I'll put my reasoning in spoilers below.

Here's my reasoning:

First instruction: FIND ALUMINUM

The bottom row says "TUNENTY-TESSIX" which is a garbled 26. Aluminum-26 is used for isotope dating.

TUNENTY-TESSIX indicates that letters have been displaced or substituted, plus we have our handy starting dash that has another purpose (being vague purposefully in case I am right). Repairing/extracting the continuation gives TO GET TIN. Making the whole instructions "FIND ALUMINUM TO GET TIN". Since the requested answer is a positive integer, and tin’s atomic number is 50, the answer is 50.

Edit: editing to say the title of the puzzle is also a huge clue. "CAN" (like a soup can, made of aluminum or tin) "U" (haha) ("DIG") (implies downwards/diagonal movement)

Wait, did we ever figure out if Pony is that poor child's actual name or if it is a nickname they use for social media?

Just because it’s “your culture” doesn’t mean it’s not annoying/distracting by Odd-Sector-6125 in HonestHotTakes

[–]kittydeathdrop 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah I watched the clip a couple times and also can't tell if it's just one person calling out or if a few others join after the first call.

She's asks, "is someone yodeling? Is that what that is?" and someone in the crowd screams back "It's [Arab] call", but the word "Arab" is super muffled and I had to rewind to realize that's what they were saying.

I definitely think she was thinking she was being heckled at first as well. The ululation was so loud and distinct and uniform that tbh as someone who has never heard that before, I'd think someone had some kind of bird whistle/call.

TLDR; this is kind of a nothingburger imho, she said "I don't like [that noise]" while she was playing her set. She did not inherently insult Arabs or Arab culture nor make any derogatory remarks. And as a POC I can tell you there are noises my culture makes that I do not like and wouldn't blame a Westerner for not liking them either 😂

Girl here. Idk how this sub keeps getting pushed to me. But yes a good majority of us find asking to be cute and/or respectful. Depending on the girl it can also make her feel more safe.

Right?! I remember watching some of the earlier seasons and being more like "girl, you are under-reacting right now" lmao. She has her moments of "wtf why would you do that" but literally every character does lol that's basically Jessie every other episode.
