Father….
someone do that lip and nail thing you know what I mean
needs to be more nails but getting closer
Hmm
It’s just funny to me how I’ve always been a builder. As long as I could remember, taking things apart and putting them back together. Tinkering with things. I suppose I got it from my dad, he was a mechanic, a tinkerer, an architect. He spent his whole life building, building, building. From car factories to building our house, he was good at it. And so I grew up building. Cars, science projects, catapults and slingshots, virtual building with programming. But what I think I was actually building up was a determination. A determination that anything can be done if you just put the pieces together right. If you just take a step back and look it over, you can find a way to make it work. It was a determination that got me to where I am now. It was a determination that when you met a wall, you built a ladder. It gave me this sense of not only was anything possible, bu I could make it possible. And that’s exactly what I’m doing. And so now my dad helps me build furniture for my new house, while I build particle accelerators and neutrino detectors.
this nyc apartment tour is giving me conniptions
We love non-euclidean architecture folks
This is like the house I made in Sims 2 when I was 16 and high.
Dude I fucking love this, this is the worst house in existence. When he peeks into each room it gives the feeling of one of those paintings that follows you. I'm fucking nauseous. @zanteal @rindo--kanade @fret-furesawa
Growing increasingly frustrated with its lack of access to the criminal justice system, the Mott Foundation building takes justice into its own hands…
Faris, a Syrian roses seller boy who was killed by an air strike.
So people decided to draw a picture of him upon a building wall in Germany to keep his memory alive.
Huh. Solarpunk Notre Dame. I know people feel that this one building in Europe is getting Way Too Much Attention, but I have to say this is a cool redesign.
“The panels would store solar power in hydrogen fuel cells, the Paris based firm said. As more than enough energy would be stored to power the Cathedral, the excess could be channelled to nearby buildings.”
“The roof would also house a garden which would provide fruit and vegetables for the city’s poor and homeless. “
“It is one of a number of designs submitted after the French government announced an international competition to design a new roof after the old, timber roof was burnt down in the devastating fire earlier this year.“
I like to imagine aliens that have no concept of creative expression. Aliens that design technology only for efficiency and ease of life. Them having books and movies only to convey information. Imagine how baffled they be by humans. They’d be like “what are art museums? You just go to a building and look at pictures?” “Yeah they’re pretty!” “What do they mean?” “Art means different things to different people. It depends on the person!” And they’re just so confused. Or “why are there… why does this cellular phone, as you call it, come in multiple colors?” “Because people like different colors” “but…. why? Does the rose gold phone have a different purpose?” “No they’re all the same, just different colors” “but??????” Or my personal favorite: humans trying to explain the concept of a person having a favorite color. “Why do humans have favorite colors? Do different wavelengths of light mean different things to different people?” “No they just look pretty. I like green. Green is a pretty color.” “But why??????” “Just because.” And they’re just so perplexed and frustrated
Years of alien research over creative expression only to come to the conclusion: “humans are wack. Why are they like this. An in depth analysis by aliens”
Self care is snorting adderall and figuring out a way around a critical design flaw in the particle trapper you’re building for your research and then using the grant money you saved to buy dry ice to play dry ice hockey

Aliens: “These washers are identical, however one is white and one is red. After studying human color theory, I have learned that red is representative of heat, this must mean the red washer washes clothes at a higher temperature!”
Humans: “Nah it’s just red”
Aliens:
