me, an aged monarch lounging on my fur-strewn throne, gesturing for my servant to bring me my monacle: Bring them here! Bring them here, I say. Let me look at them.
guards: *drag the unwitting blog before me*
me, peering intently at the new blog and poking them with my scepter: Is this a real person? Hmm? What have you to say for yourself? What are your fandoms? Your interests? Speak up, these old ears aren’t what they used to be.
guards, tentatively: they do seem to be a real person, sire. We found them in possession of several memes and a fandom rant.
me, subsiding back into my sumptuous furs and waving them away: most extraordinary. It has been an age since there was a real person, but just as well, the dungeons have been overflowing with those tacky pornbots. This newcomer may remain in my domain. Make them welcome. And fetch me a quill! I feel a ficlet coming on…
How about we vote in a law that puts a cap on how long a government shut down can happen… say 20 days… before the president has to agree to a budget solution or else the 21st day congress begins the process of impreachment because civilian jobs and salaries and livelihoods are not a bargaining tool for the president to abuse is order to get their way
If you aren’t serving the people then you aren’t doing the job of the presidency and you need to be replaced
Imagine fighting at the battle of hogwarts and you turn to your left and see a muggleborn duelling a death eater, then the death eater disarms the muggleborn but then they pull out a gun and the death eaters starts laughing because “hahaha muggle technology could never kill me how cute” but then the muggleborn shoots them then BYE BYE DEATH EATER and the muggleborn starts running around hogwarts shooting all the death eaters
I want this movie!!!
I always said the rifle was faster than the wand with a greater range.
I swear to god the knowledge of guns existing was my biggest obstacle in enjoying a Harry Potter film
Right? The amount of waiving around a wand and it’s still line of sight. A wizard is still vulnerable to bullets, explosions, traps, gas, spikes…… These wizards, if they got uppity and invaded the human world, would be expecting middle ages earth and would just get rolled by a platoon of the 101st.
Also, real talk, how are there no wizard hand to hand combat techniques based solely around disarming and or breaking another wizards wand. Like these asshats are only powerful as long as they have a thin piece of wood in their hand, just snap their wand and they’ve got to fist fight you like everyone else.
^THIS
I remember there being some contrivance where muggle technology such as cellphones and computers and such don’t work in the area surrounding Hogwarts. So I presume that covers guns as well.
But outside of Hogwarts and other magical schools you could totally MDK Voldemort with a pistol.
Harry had a watch that worked perfectly fine, the trouble seemed to be with electronics, so a gun, which is a product of harvesting the power of both chemistry and physics to murder that motherfucker, should work just fine.
if u ever wonder how europeans can rely on trains so much to travel thru entire countries
this is why
(312km/h is about 194mph)
? Yea is this not the same everywhere??
doesnt seem to be
Also, most areas in America don’t even HAVE passenger rail anymore
The automotive industry purposely tried to kill off trains here in America
Public transit in general if we’re being honest.
As an europeean, what the fuck america?
if you ever see something weird about america chances are it’s because some powerful industry decided to kill something that would have worked towards the public good for profit
my party trick is wearing cool socks so people come up to me and say “hey man cool socks”

i run out of the room in tears. then next time i see them they say “hey arent you the guy who stormed out of the last party crying?”. either way its a great icebreaker
