An Instagram ad telling me not to tape my laptop camera is the most suspicious shit ever
This made me put a sticker on my camera
what’s with all these stories of hundred plus year old vampires falling in love with teenagers like yes they might LOOK your age but you’ve got a few centuries of maturity on them I want vampires falling in love with 40 year old suburban housewives and business executives and preschool teachers not high school students
vampires falling in love with spry 90-year-old great-grandmothers

What you see above is a homemade lava bomb. To systematically study what happens when groundwater meets lava, scientists melted basalt and created their own meter-scale explosion-on-demand. Inside the container, they can inject water and observe the resulting dynamics.
Beneath the lava, the water forms what scientists call a domain. Thanks to the Leidenfrost effect, it can be protected from direct contact with the lava by a thin vapor layer that boils off it. If the water domain is large enough, buoyancy will pull it upward through the lava. Whether the water maintains a spherical shape or begins to distort and break up into smaller domains depends on the speed of its rise.
At some point, though, either naturally or through an external trigger (like the sledgehammer you see above), the water and lava can contact, resulting in explosive vaporization of the water and an explosion. What’s visible at the surface depends on the depth at which the explosion takes place. Scientists are eager to characterize these variations, which will help them better predict the explosive danger of eruptions like Kilauea and Eyjafjallajökull. (Image and research credit: I.

And that’s a
EXCELLENT
IDEA!!!
I’ve had this on repeat for the last couple of minutes switching my hearing to hear either “that’s a fucking excellent idea” and “that sounds like an excellent idea” (which is what he’s actually saying) and it’s really tripping me out
“millenials are so stupid, they can’t perform basic life skills” cries the generation that failed to teach their children basic life skills
also a lot of those practical skills were taught in classes like home ec that have been cut completely as schools slash all spending not related to sports and STEM

IT GOT BETTER!!!
Everyone is reblogging this without this addition and you don’t know what you’re missing
this is a strip club in vancouver.
to clarify, David Duchovny is banned from the No. 5 Orange strip club for comments he made in the late 90s about Vancouver’s crappy weather, not for behavior that normally gets one banned from a strip club.
This is even better with context

My first go at astrophotography. I live on the edge of town, so I got a little drunk, and figured I’d go for a walk. With my camera gear. And tripod. And glass of rum.
I think it was a success, though next time I need to remember my head lamp so I don’t need to put down my rum on the side of a random paddock.
