tonight i learned that the only reason sans undertale himself, the main character of the game undertale, has any perceived importance in-game beyond the judgement room relies fully and completely on our rpg-loving asses to talking to him

you can just go this entire fucking game without talking to him

you can almost play all of undertale sans-sans

you don’t have to interact with every single detail in rpgs. in the full 21 years i’ve been alive, this concept never occurred to me. im shaken to my very core by this

#I never thought about playing the game without talking to him #I gotta try that

Ignore sans run is the true canon run.

[Comic is titled, “You Can Not Talk to NPC’S???”

First panel shows the scene in Undertale where Sans is introduced. Text:

Authour: Sans is a funny guy. I’m sure my mom will like him a lot.

Next three panels cut to the authour and their mom on a couch with a laptop.

Authour: Wanna talk to Sans – 

Mom: Nah.

Authour is frozen in shock. Question marks start to surround their head.

Authour: OK I guess we’ll keep walking??

new metric for your personality as an adult = what you named your most iconic stuffed animal as a kid

i had “baby” “new baby” and “babies” and that really is all you need to know about me

“piggy” 

My most iconic stuffed animal was a corner of the yellow border of my baby blanket, which I named “Part”. Because it was a part of the border. 

Yeah.

I had a Dalmatian named Patch (he didn’t have a patch) and a yellow blanket named Blanket and a kind of spaniel dog named Christi, after my aunt. I was not an exciting child.

I tried so hard to rename my stuffed dog something exciting, like Comet or Starfire, but eventually I had to admit his name was always going to be Spot.

when i was three i got an alligator plush from the alligator farm and named him Heart Pink Dress

I had a teddy bear whose name was my grandmother’s full name with the word “Bear” added at the end

My childhood stuffed animals were a husky named Secret and a panda named Skullcrusher. I still have Skullcrusher, but Secret has (unsurprisingly) gone missing. 

I had a pink pillow named Pinkie.

How come Autism Parents TM never talk about how autism can make kids easier to look after?

Like, you never see them talking about the babies who sleep really well because their senses exhaust them.

Or the kids who never get messy because it causes sensory issues.

Or the ones who will happily sit quietly with their special interest things for hours on end.

It’s almost as if they don’t actually want a nuanced discussion of autism, they just want you to feel bad for them by demonising their child…

I was considered a very well-behaved child. I almost always did what adults told me to do and I was very quiet. 

But of course, this type of discussion won’t come up because they want the tragedy porn.

My son is a joy. As a baby he was a joy AND the easiest child I’ve ever met. We spent the first three years praising him to everyone we met. Still do, but not for being easy, at the moment.

If you swaddled him, he’d go to sleep easily on his own. No problems with eating. Only cried about things that were simple for me to figure out. Didn’t mind cuddling, but made it clear when he was done.

And there are still lots of ways that he makes things simple for us. He’s good at academic stuff. He eats a wide variety of food. He can entertain himself for hours.

I mean, being easy doesn’t make a kid better. These aren’t really the traits I value most about him. (Though I DID value the swaddle-and-sleep as an exhausted young mom 😉 And I know this wasn’t really the point of OP’s post. They weren’t hoping for Autism Moms trying to prove they aren’t like all those Bad™ parents.

I understand. I still can’t miss out on a opportunity to chatter about my great family.

Bruce is high on Poison Ivy’s pollen and Alfred has the flu.  Good thing Jason’s around to keep an eye on things.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, AUDREY!

#amazing#I’m glad we all 1. thought to beat up Bruce for Audrey#and 2#had the sense to go to Jersey for help#I always love Jason in the kitchen#the saltines was a great bit#tell me#is it because he really likes them#or because he’s so salty

In all seriousness?  I headcanon that Jason carries a few packets of Saltines around at all times because they’re good for when you’re sick to your stomach but you need to just ingest some calories RIGHT NOW.  Chemical exposure, head trauma, horrifying Joker victim tableaus–I imagine Gotham vigilantes spend a lot of time battling nausea.  Jason would probably carry Ginger Ale too, if it was practical to do so, lol.

historical-nonfiction:

Historians have just discovered the oldest reference to the mathematical concept of “zero” in India. The concept of zero as a number was revolutionary in mathematics. In Eurasia, the idea came from India (and the Mayans separately invented it hundreds of years late in the Americas) but exactly when zero was first conceived in India is a bit of a mystery. Now, we have a potential clue: the Bakhshali manuscript, which a farmer dug up the text from a field in 1881 in the village of Bakhshali, near Peshawar in what is today Pakistan. It consists of 70 leaves of birch bark and contains hundreds of zeros in the form of dots. Why was it only just discovered, if the farmer dug it up over 100 years ago?

People knew what it was, and knew it zeros throughout the text. But they thought the Bakhshali manuscript was written between the 700s and the 1100s CE. Since the oldest then-known written reference to zero was the Indian astronomer Brahmagupta’s work “Brahmasphutasiddhanta,” which was written in 628 CE, the Bakhshali manuscript was a lot less exciting. It was a mathematical manuscript utilizing the newly-invented concept of zero, which astronomers had been using for at least a couple decades before the Bakhshali.

But recent, more advanced carbon dating resulted in three different dates for different parts of the Bakhshali manuscript. It appears now to be not one document but several, put together. And the oldest part dated to 224 to 383 CE! That is hundreds of years before Brahmagupta! Two other parts dated to 680 to 779 CE, and 885 to 993 CE, which is probably why earlier analyses got the manuscript’s age wrong.

If further tests confirm the findings, the Bakhshali manuscript moves up when zero was invented to the same time the Roman Empire was falling to barbarians, the Three Kingdoms Period was reordering China, and Teotihuacan was near the heights of its power.
