Australian scientists have developed a pair of anti-shark wetsuits that make divers appear invisible by camouflaging their bodies in the sea and trick sharks into thinking surfers are poisonous. A team of researchers from the University of Western Australia joined forces with designers from Shark Attack Mitigation Systems (SAMS) to create the suits. The blue pattern of the Elude suit can’t be seen by the shark because the fish are colour blind. While the stripes on the Diverter suit mimic the colours of poisonous fish to warn the sharks off.
THIS is how you deal with shark attacks. Not by killing or hunting the sharks, but by protecting yourself when you go into the water. A+
From a 9th century Irish manuscript, the phrase ‘massive hangover’ (Latheirt) written in the ancient Irish text Ogham. The monk must have been having a very rough day…..

tchaikovsky is proud
In case anyone is baffled by this, there’s a Tchaikovsky piece in which there’s supposed to be a loud sound but he never specified what you should use to make that sound. People have done all kinds of weird shit depending on how they think the sound should, well, sound. Hitting a large piece of wood with a sledgehammer is a relatively conventional one.
After a motorcycle accident, Derek accepts Stile’s offer to take up the guest room. They end up playing a drinking game in the living room because Derek wanted something to help with the pain and Stiles was just plain bored. One thing led to another and Stiles ended up loosing his virginity to Derek. Derek is mortified by the idea of being Stiles’s first… but maybe not as mortified as he should be.
how to tell a god to fuck themselves without them smiting you
dbdjjd ok so i hate being That Person but i had to anyway i returned from the beach like two hours ago so i was sitting in the sand, wanting some water to wet my legs yknow?? cause its pleasant but nothing came to me so i jokingly go like “oh well fuck you too poseidon i dont want your water anyway” and i stand up to grab a plastic cup (a kid likes their cola) and a fucking wave hits me it reached until a bit above my mid-thigh and just

My little sister asked me why birds sing so early in the morning and i told her it was because Apollo plays music when he pulls the sun into the sky and the birds are singing along. the day after I told her that, she asks if we can sing a song as we walk to school every morning. Of course I say yes and now we do (she usually picks the song so usually it’s like stronger than you from steven universe or the miraculous ladybug theme song). When i asked her why she said “cus i want to sing with the sun man too” so like… I hope Apollo enjoys my 6yo sister and I serenading him every week day???
Reblog this again for this ^
I WAS AT A TRUCK STOP AT LIKE MIDNIGHT READING THE DIONYSUS WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE AND I WAS LIKE MAN IM BORED DIONYSUS SEEMS LIKE A GUY WHO REALLY KNOWS HOW TO PARTY
AND THEN THIS DRUNK GUY COMES TUMBLING OUT OF THE CONVENIENCE STORE AND BARFS ON ANOTHER LADY’S CAR
BEST DAY OF MY LIFE IT WAS HILARIOUS THANKS DIONYSUS

Also: don’t fuck with Poseidon, this guy just can’t stand rudeness
I walking by an old church with really intricate artwork woven through the windows and I started talking mad shit about the painted Jesus and just as I finished insulting him walking downhill past the churcg, I slipped on some black ice and plummeted.
If Hearthstone is anything to go by, just use ASL because none of them have effing bothered to ever learn sign language
I once said I wanna be pretty like Aphrodite and a woman who was so beautiful comes up to me and says ‘Sweetie don’t doubt you’re inner beauty’ and walked away….I think I was aproched by a goddess!
Does this prove the gods are real yet? Look at the notes. Deadass I am covinced. The gods must be hype their Fans are Back
THE GODS ARE REAL. Also my experience is that once there was a double rainbow and I threw a coin up into the air “towards” the rainbow as a joke and THE MINUTE I DID I FUCKING GOT A VIDEO CALL FROM MY INTERNET FRIEND WHO I HAVEN’T SKYPED IN LIKE A YEAR. Thanks Iris. I appreciate it a lot.
I pray to Persephone whenever I can, and I’ve never killed a plant even tho I always forget to water mine ¯_(ツ)_/¯
One time I threatened to fight Poseidon while swimming and I got pulled into a riptide.
I’ll never forget taking a walk through the woods, leaving an offer for Cernunnos and not five minutes later being approached by a curious and very chill deer.
Once I was swimming at the beach with my little cousins and a huge wave took my cousin’s diving goggles and they disappeared in the ocean. To calm her down I told her Poseidon had them, and if we asked politely he may return them. We played with the waves while asking him for the goggles, mostly as a game, and about and hour later, a wave brought the goggles back to my feet. It was awesome.
Can’t say as I’ve ever told a god to fuck off, but I do make jokes at their expense regularly.
But I do have some neat stories about omens and answers to prayers.
I was at an outdoor shrine to Hekate which I’d made at a crossroads on an empty road. I was talking with Hekate about something and asked for a sign. I look up, and there was this huge shaggy black dog standing in the exact center of the crossroads. It stared at me for a few seconds, then turned and walked away. I assume it was the neighbor’s dog but I hadn’t seen it before or since.
OH DUDE @bronzewitchhazel I had like ? The opposite happen to me ? I was stuck in a riptide and was like “posiden please , this is bullshit man” and the tide got wierd and spit me out onto a rock ( I had to climb up the cliff ish thing but I wasn’t in the riptide anymore and it didnt smash me on the rocks so score
Cemetery forests would be great, if you could get them to work out ecologically. Not only would you have healthy, sustainable burials with physical markers to mourn at, you’d also inspire emotional investment in conservation and promote old-growth forests. No one wants to chop down great-great-great-grandpa Karkat the oak tree for lumber.
You want a haunted forest. That’s how you get a haunted forest
Well, better a haunted forest than a haunted useless plot of land filled with concrete and steel and hundreds of gallons of poison that we have to constantly manicure. Haunted forests are classy *and* contribute to the world by absorbing CO2 and producing oxygen, providing shelter for wildlife, and help get goth teenagers to appreciate nature.
“We laid him to rest up on boot hill. Now he’s a right pretty poplar that moans his killer’s name when there’s a light breeze and a full moon.”
I could get behind this plan.
Also: either all forests are haunted or none are
Hobbyist forester here. All forests are haunted, yes, but not necessarily by things formally human. Also this is a good idea and I endorse it.
