"You're asking too many questions."
I will be 70 years old and I still will never have gotten over the time the Mythbusters used a rocket powered steel wall to - and I use this word as literally as possible - vaporize an entire car into red mist
If you haven’t seen this episode of Mythbusters I feel so bad for you because “What car?” remains to this day as a defining moment of my adolescence and my entire life
That was a near-religious experience
I made a gif of it for those of you who cant watch the video in your country. Or if you know you just want to stare at it mesmerized like me
Oh wow they sure did vaporise that car into red mist

I’m partial to the “Can a Snowplow Split a Car in Two” one. The answer was “No”, so they naturally ramped it up. Which led to this
A rocket powered, sharpened steel wedge slicing a car (with its engine!) in two, right down the middle
@identifying-cars-in-posts what’s this one?

After becoming Firelord, Zuko pardoned the Blue Spirit for busting Aang out of prison but still held him at large for all the other crimes
#he sent ozai out to find the blue spirit#to restore his honor (source: @aboutiroh )
fIRSTLY, HOW DARE YOU LEAVE THIS IN THE TAGS??
Aang in disguise: "Did you hear? Apparently that firenation criminal the blue spirit was spotted in one of the caves in the great divide"
Sokka, also in disguise: yeah, heard he was taming the cave crawlers. Maybe you can find the blue spirit if you get close to them too.
Occasionally after a particularly rough month Zuko takes a brief vacation to get his Blue Spirit gear back on and fuck around leading Ozai on another even wilder goose chase
These are his life changing field trips with Toph
Aang BETTER be wearing a fake mustache every time he fools ozai
The mustache is of course made from Appa's fur.
It gets bigger every time. The scene always ends with a sneeze
Ozai thinks nothing of the weird facial hair because ‘clearly peasants are just like that’

Once upon a time…
I really wish the overused sentence “You either die a hero, or live long enough to see yourself become the villain.” was less relevant but here we are
You are an immortal Wiseperson that sits atop a mountain, giving out advice to those that have been able to survive the treacherous climb to see you. Over the past several centuries you swear you have seen the same donkey carrying people up over and over. Today, you confront the donkey.
"This system wants us numb. It wants us tired. It wants us convinced that nothing we do matters. But we know better. We know that apathy is not the natural state of human beings. It is the result of trying to carry the entire weight of collapse alone. When you learn to share it, when you build community, when you direct your energy wisely, you find the strength that despair hides from you.
Rest. But rest so you can rise again. Resist despair. But resist it by remembering that your role is not to hold the whole planet together, it is to do your part with courage. Do not run from the scream. Face it with others. Transform it into the courage that will save her."
I want to talk to you about sports, but a weird sport that I found out that you play. I don’t think it’s legal to play. That’s probably true. Is it called fire hockey?
every time i see this, ive managed to forget about it and it newly becomes the best thing ive ever seen
Okay, but like? Didn't the Jedi build their temple on Coruscant...
SPECIFICALLY, in the place it is, to guard/purify the Nexus there?
............w...why are they moving UP?
No, seriously, Nexus don't fuckin MOVE. That sucker us EXACTLY where it was, is, and always has been. It's not going ANYWHERE. That sucker don't GIVE a single, solitary, "reverse black hole of raw unspeakable power" SHIT what you do or do not do with your tiny mortal "city" planet. It's all insignificant matter to the endless Cosmos that IS the Force.
Like? It was here before YOU were.
I'll be here long after you're gone.
Sith, Jedi, Mandalorian. What does IT care what you tiny, fleshy, midi-chlorians colonies call yourselves? Just carbon with delusions of grandeur, the lot of you. So noisy.
But, like? You know who SHOULD care? Who, in fact, probably SHOULD be caring A WHOLE FUCKIN LOT? The Jedi. Cause like? Why the freshly baked and BESPOKE FUCK are you moving AWAY from the Nexus you are Filtering?! Ya'll got ONE(1) JOB! One!!!
Make the universe generally LESS SUCK!
Is this grossly oversimplified? Yes. Yes, it is. But you know how you DO that? You plant your Peace and Light generating asses infront of the galaxy's Force diffusers and act like AIR FILTERS! We need those to FUCKIN BREATHE! Spiritually!!!
Oooooh~ the Forse is getting Daaaarker~!
GEE, I WONDER WHY!
And... look, obviously, it's not ALL on them. No ONE temple could possibly make that much of a difference. But you know what COULD? The Ruusan Fuckin Reformation. All those CLOSED jedi temples. Air filter after air filter, shutting down. Fewer and fewer jedi, pumping out Good Vibes at key points in the Galaxy.
Sith playing the long game.
Cause you don't NEED to kill an army, if they all suffocate in their sleep. Or BETTER YET? Their cribs. Long before they ever become a problem. Harder and harder to endure, this galaxy. Bet those pregnancies are getting harder too. Getting just a little bit more demanding on the body, huh? But it probably nothing, right? Just pollution. Stress. Fucked up genetics and the political issues of the day!
After all, none of your ANCESTORS had to deal with those! Certainly not. No, no, every issues YOU deal with is new and fresh. The first to ever occur of it's kind. So this is fine. You'll figure it out. Modern science! (Don't think about it. Nothing is wrong. Don't worry, don't pay attention, because nothing is wrong.)
happy new year! reminder that as of January 1st, 2025, the 1929 animated Disney short "The Skeleton Dance" is now public domain!
