See, that’s what the app is perfect for.

Sounds perfect Wahhhh, I don’t wanna

The time has come for a proper pinned post instead of mess that’s my bio.

My YouTube channel with devlog updates and random stuff.

My aesthetic/dark fantasy sideblog: @dark-inspiration-fantasy

My online nickname is Alex Valder. I’m in my early 20s, but really socially inexperienced. I’m from Ukraine🇺🇦 (currently in Poland🇵🇱). LG[BT]+, he/him (fine with they/them). My timezone is GMT+2, and I speak English, Russian, Ukrainian. Currently learning Polish. I also know a little of German, but that’s not enough for a conversation. Some day I’m going to learn Japanese as well (because I’m a weeb). One day I’ll also make a game.

Interests:

  • Video Games (both playing and creating)
  • Programming
  • Anime/Manga
  • Fantasy (especially dark/gothic types)
  • Writing (I’m bad at it)
  • Linguistics?

Fandoms/Media I’m Into:

  • Dorohedoro (#dorohedoro)
  • Berserk (#berserk)
  • Hollow Knight/Silksong (#hollow knight, #silksong)
  • Devil May Cry (#devil may cry)
  • Cry of Fear (#cry of fear)
  • Blasphemous (#blasphemous)
  • Metal Gear Solid (#metal gear, #metal gear solid, #mgs)
  • Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance (#metal gear, #metal gear rising, #mgr)
  • Rusty Lake/Cube Escape (#rusty lake, #cube escape)
  • The Ancient Magus’ Bride (#ancient magus bride)

I tag more media/fandoms that I’m in.

I listen to different kinds of music, but metal, especially power metal, seems to be the most popular genre. I also will gladly listen to different kinds of metal, electronic or folk music.

Just in case to improve my online experince: fuck terfs/radfems, fuck communism and alike, fuck homophobes/transphobes, fuck “racial realists” and alike, and those who think it’s fine to wish entire ethnicity or race become extinct. Fuck Russia apologists (you know what I mean). Especially fuck genocide deniers. If you aren’t one of those, we might find a common language.

I also block bots and bot-like accounts who try to follow me.

"Kiev regime" is a Putinist dogwhistle.

"Proxy war in Ukraine" is a Putinist dogwhistle.

"Donbas genocide" is a Putinist dogwhistle (especially obvious in light of the recent confirmation that the claims of it were fabricated by Prigozhin's media empire).

"Ukronazi" is a Putinist dogwhistle. "Nazi Ukraine" is a Putinist dogwhistle (hey bad faith arguers, I see the fallacious argument you're about to whip out, if you swap which of the words is the adjective and which is the noun then the meaning of the phrase changes)

"Russophobia" (at least in the context of this war and other examples of Russian imperialism) is a Putinist dogwhistle

Calling Euromaidan a coup is a Putinist dogwhistle.

If someone's using terms like that they're either an actual Putinist or they're one of those useful idiots who say they don't support Putin and yet believe and promote every single false excuse he gives for the imperialist and genocidal war he started.

I just went on a rant about plungers, how’s your day going?

“go off bestie”? Okay, I will.

This is a plunger.

image

Classic red cup with a wooden stick. We all know it, love it, and have seen a cartoon character using it to unclog a toilet. Right?

WRONG.

The image above is actually a drain plunger, used on sinks, showers, and baths. Not on toilets.

These are a toilet plungers.

Take note of the variations. Each of them have a flange of sorts at the bottom, either connected via a cup or more accordion-like tube. These are designed to actually get down into the toilet bowl where it flushes down, giving it more space and leverage to unclog blockages. See the example below:

image

Notice how the flange allows it to go deeper into the toilet to provide more power to the plunge. Sink/drain plungers are far less efficient and effective at the task.

image
image

Sink plungers can also have an accordion shape to help with power in plunging, but crucially do not have or need the flange that toilet plungers do.

image

To recap: cup plungers are for sinks, showers, bathtubs, and other drains. Flange and accordion plungers are for toilets. Notably, accordion plungers are slightly harder to use, but are more powerful when used correctly than their flange counterparts.

So the next time you see a cartoon, video game, or stock art depicting a cup plunger being used on a toilet, you can feel the same levels of anger and emotion that I do!

why does this have nearly 100 notes

callmebliss

Because with this level of passion, containment is futile 

absurdly-useful

The real question is why does this not have a million notes? This is information that will very likely, at some point, be incredibly useful to anyone who has indoor plumbing. Which is, you know, probably, 99.99% of this website's user base. (I'm sure there's someone out there using Tumblr who lives in a house built in 1850 which never got upgraded and they still have an outhouse rather than toilet.)

I remember someone saying "mad scientists in fiction aren't scientists because there's never a control group"

I think if you've created an elixir that turns people into goat men you have sort have gone past the need for a control group. The control group is not going to placebo themselves into goat men. You can probably not run the control group, and safely assume that none of them would have turned into goat men. That said, having a control group for that would make the mad scientist seem extra crazy and be really really funny, especially if he was carefully testing them for goat like features from the dyed water they drank instead of the elixir

Irish person upon finding out that I am a Ukrainian living in Kyiv: "Oh, cool! I have family friends living somewhere near you, in Russia, in Novosibirsk"

(Note: Kyiv is closer to Dublin, Ireland, than it is to freakin' Novosibirsk)
