Today, one of my second graders was working on shape name recognition, and we got to this picture of a pyramid shape with a wide-ish base. When he saw it, his eyes lit up and he turned to me with a huge grin on his face, pointed at it, and said “When the teacher forgets to assign homework” before bursting out into hysterics, covering his mouth and giggling.
I don’t understand what happened except this kid CLEARLY knows about the strong comedic and memeable value of mathematical shapes and emotions that I, an old millennial, cannot comprehend
I did, however, try to recreate this moment as the meme this child must have seen in his head
maybe he was thinking of the dancing triangle meme??
i have seen this gif with that exact caption before. this is absolutely the one he was thinking of
That kid saw one of the simplest geometric shapes and said that’s blorbo from my memes 👍
“why would we make plans in front of you if you weren’t invited?” babe i was left out of everything growing up, i need 100% confirmation you want me there or i simply will not go
everyone’s saying it but yeah the new tumblr desktop layout is complete garbage lmao
yknow what i really can’t fucking stand. how every social media now feels like it’s designed for mobile first but then subsequently there is NO design for desktop and they just kinda slap a mobile interface onto a widescreen canvas and fill it with a solid color. like why is what feels like 60% of my dashboard just negative space on a 16:9 monitor. the entire thing is so fucking claustrophobic and just bunched together. use the space!!!! why are the timeline switcher tabs at the top of the screen getting cut off!!! you could fit all of them!!!
I see Hollywood is now very into the idea of buying something once and then owning it forever and being able to make infinite copies. Which. Isn’t quite the message they imparted upon me in my childhood. In the spirit of their own long-held stance:
The plot of the game starts because the main character is bored! Reality ended and restarted about five minutes ago and the forces responsible for ending it are still trying to destroy everything, you just don’t know it yet. You stop paying attention to the box containing the dragon egg of prophecy for, like, two minutes and a box loving creature steals it for its box fort and now you have to do a whole retrieval quest to find the egg! The hatchling from the other egg gets extremely murdered immediately after hatching so the evil guy it ended up with can have an undead skeleton dragon. You have a goofy paladin friend who makes puns and loves fighting zombies! He spent most of his life believing himself to be the sole survivor of a zombie plague that he witnessed slaughter his hometown. There are pirates and ninjas and they have a rivalry! And also monkeys! All of reality is fundamentally post-apocalyptic and there is a very good chance you will never comprehend this, even though the memories of witnessing everything end are still there, buried deep in your mind. Chickencows exist! Chicken + cow = chickencow! They have a god who accidentally made bacon a fundamental building block of reality that one time! There are two characters who were born fundamentally disconnected from a central part of the world and one of them became a genocidal fascist about it and the other became a cheese-themed half of a Batman and Robin parody duo. There’s a zany wacky magic guy who makes weird weapons and turned a building into a fish once! He’s one of maybe three people who remembers reality before it was rewritten. There’s a bunch of silly parodies of pop culture stuff, like Scooby Doo! You break down sobbing at your best friend’s grave after being the last one to leave his funeral.
