when you break a world record, but a man comes in second (x)

And it’s worth note that Ledecky didn’t just win the 800 freestyle- she obliterated it:

Thats her. And those specks in the distance are her competitors. The second place swimmer was 11 SECONDS behind her. 11 seconds is FOREVER in something like this. Most second place swimmers in most races finish fractions of a second behind the first place swimmer.

Her finishing with none of her competitors in sight. And that yellow line is the previous world record’s pace. Ledecky is more than a full body length ahead.

Which, btw, she did in the 400m freestyle earlier in the games. Seen here:

(The previous world record in this race was held by her, to begin with, btw. As well as the 3 world record times preceding that one.)

So to sum it up: Yeah, Phelps is one of the most decorated Olympic swimmers ever etc etc but him getting silver means jack in the face of the actual-human-avatar-of-Poseidon that is Katie Ledecky. 

11 (ELEVEN) SECONDS FUCK THE WHAT THIS IS NOT GETTING ENOUGH COVERAGE. i should have had that information before now

IM SO FUCKING PROUD OF KATIE IDC HOW MANY YEARS AGO THIS WAS

This adorable little robot is designed to make sure its photosynthesising passenger is well taken care of. It moves towards brighter light if it needs, or hides in the shade to keep cool. When in the light, it rotates to make sure the plant gets plenty of illumination. It even likes to play with humans.

Oh, and apparently, it gets antsy when it’s thirsty.

The robot is actually an art project called “Sharing Human Technology with Plants” by a roboticist named Sun Tianqi. It’s made from a modified version of a Vincross HEXA robot, and in his own words, its purpose is “to explore the relationship between living beings and robots.”

I don’t care if it’s silly. I want one.

Where have we seen this before?

Remember when Terry played the Joker like a fiddle cause I sure do

Joker status:
[ ] Told
[ ] Told like a bitch
[X] Batman: The Brave And The Told

Terry is literally what bruce would’ve been if his parents didn’t die. Well either that or terry got his sense of humor from his mom.

I love Batman Beyond because it’s basically Spider-Man as Batman with a healthy dosage of cyberpunk.

The best part is this isn’t just Terry fucking with Joker, Terry realized after bats told him “Joker likes to talk” that he likes to talk too. So he decided to answer joker back with something Joker was never expecting. Joker could easily deal with the typical hero “you won’t get away with this” talk or someone being absolutely quiet. But mockery? taking the piss? Telling joker straight up “you ain’t shit?”

I think Cinderella is my favorite princess. Plus…if you’ve seen Cinderella III: A Twist in Time, you’ll know that she and Prince Charming are a perfect couple. But when I looked at his profile on the Disney Wiki…

Haha Disney, someone’s been at your descriptions.
