i thought you meant the animal and let me tell you that was a wild minute of me trying to figure out the psychology of fish thinking they’re federal law enforcement
Reminding you that with a single click you can:

Metaphors were supposed to
be a window looking in. Instead,
They’re walls of the
things I should’ve said crystal
clear. I made a home here. In the
music I thought I made. Really,
it’s just a deep cave with dancing shadows
on the rock.
I honestly believed the way out was
in through the storm of emotions.
That doesn’t help.
The exit is where I came in from.
I’m learning to crawl out.
i cant believe americans on tv really say rock paper scissors like???? its paper scissors rock omg do u irl americans actually say rock paper scissors????
rb this with whether u say paper scissors rock or rock paper scissors
me normally: linguistic differences are so interesting and cool! I love hearing different dialectal variations.
me, reading “paper, scissors, rock” with my own two eyeballs: the lord is testing me
Fact: Every Link puts the Master Sword back after its purpose in their quest is fulfilled
Another Fact: Link still has the Master Sword in Super Smash Brothers. Brawl has the cutscene where he draws it from the pedestal again but in the other games he just Has It
Conclusion: Link is procrastinating saving his entire homeland just to beat the crap out of Mario
Nope.

If anybody’s wondering what’s happening here, this clip made it onto Outrageous Acts of Science, and they explained that this teacher was demonstrating the Leidenfrost effect, which is basically when you place a droplet of a liquid on a surface that’s far hotter than its boiling point. The part of the drop touching the hot surface turns into vapor and forms a cushion that the rest of the drop rests on top of, which causes it to skid across the floor so quickly. The substance the teacher uses in the video is liquid methane. But methane has a really low boiling point. Like, about −160 °C low. So once it touches the comparatively hot floor, the Leidenfrost effect comes into play, and it slides across the floor. The issue is though, methane is colorless, so you can’t normally see it. Thankfully (in this demonstration), methane is also very flammable, so he sets it on fire before dumping it onto the floor so you can see it as it moves. Definitely a cooler demonstration of the Leidenfrost effect than dropping a little water in a hot pan. Or hotter, if you like puns.
