I’M LAUGHING SO HARD RN

I just want to know what freelance illustrator drew these.

I want to know what their face looked like when they got the request from their client.

“CAN YOU DRAW. A PEOPLE MAKING OUT WITH A DOG. CHECK YES OR NO.”

“*checks when bills are due*…..I’ll have to apply a ‘fucked up’ surcharge of 1000% but yes yes I can.”

“OKAY BUT WE NEED SOME ROACH/HUMAN ACTION TOO.”

“….*facerub*”

The things freelancers do when bills are due…

they made the animals look really into it too

I CAN’T

obviously this is the ultimate outcome of gay marriage

Do ducks and deer have the cognitive abilities to understand about gay marriage…? Oh, why am I asking. (ABOUT THE GIANT-MANDIBLED BUG MONSTER.)

Scientists use modified virus to make mice live longer

An experimental gene therapy recently tested on mice at the Spanish National Cancer Research Centre found that by modifying a non-replicating virus to trigger production of an enzyme that repairs chromosomes, scientists were able to slow down cellular aging in the mice by up to 24 percent.

Vine Tendrils

Vetches and passion flowers have modified some of their leaves and converted them into tendrils. These grope around in space until they touch the stem of another plant and swiftly coil around it. The tendrils then coil and pull the plant up towards the sunlight.

professor-xrated: Well, not exactly. It so happens that the various tissues present in one’s body undergo cell replacement at different rates, so it really is rather contentious to say such a thing - especially since the above statement gives the impression that we spontaneously regenerate - rest assured that the average human being would never undergo such a miraculous change. In fact, there are certain tissues that never replace cells at all - the neurons in the cerebral cortex, for instance, are permanently irreplaceable after birth. Cardiomyocyte heart cells,however, are replaced as a gradually reducing rate as we age, averaging at perhaps 1% per year at the peak of our youth, and gradually reducing to half the rate by age 70 - but even so, that would mean that the average person would have had less than halftheir cardiomyocyte cells replaced in their entire lifespan. But of course, the cell replacement rates for a mutant could be a completely different story… There is one particular type of tissue that undergoes full cycle of cell replacement in approximately seven years, though - fat cells have a replacement rate of about 10%. So I suppose you could amend the statement to say ‘Every seven to ten years, our bodies undergo a full replacement of every fat cell. Every seven to ten years, our fats disappear.’ …It does make for a different atmosphere, however.   XD This blog is so many things that I love all wrapped into one; I can barely contain myself.
