Seven years of bad luck for breaking a mirror seems pretty harsh.
That originates from when mirrors were silver backed, and therefore, far more expensive

What
The fuck
This gif is outrageous
■ The so-called “blood explosion” which punctuates the conclusion of Akira Kurosawa’s 1962 movie Sanjuro remains one of the most memorable and influential special effects in film history.
Production designer Yoshiro Muraki would later recall this scene was filmed in a single take. No such effect had ever been attempted before, as movies of the time rarely showed violence with graphic detail. Filled with uncertainty, Muraki worried the blood spray he’d rigged up wouldn’t impress Kurosawa, so he added an extra 30 pounds of pressure to the fluid pump. At the moment the pump was activated, the additional pressure caused the compressor hose attached to actor Tatsuya Nakadai to blow a coupling which created a slight, unintentional delay before the fake blood began to spray, and caused a much larger gush of fluid than planned. It sprayed so powerfully Nakadai claimed it almost lifted him off the ground. His heart sinking, as he believed the delay and over-pressure had ruined the effect, Muraki nervously glanced at director Akira Kurosawa, but Kurosawa only nodded in approval.
“oh god i fucked this up”
“yoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOO”
And to think this is so iconic that “two dudes clash, there’s a beat, then one dies incredibly violently” is just a must-have for action in anime
Its crazy to think that this iconic visual that has been so ubiquitous in pop culture for so long despite that the source material barely being known by people all came from actors staying in character thru an FX malfunction.
i think rolling down a grassy hill would fix me
I know autumn and spring are the shoulderest of seasons for this, but have you ever tried iceblocking, aka summertime inverted sledding?
For today’s lucky 10,000, the steps are:
- Clear out a dishpan’s worth of space in your freezer
- Get some scrap lengths of rope to use as two handles.
- Fill dishpan with 4"-6" (10-15 cm) of water
- Tie a knot in each end of each rope, then set the ropes in the dishpan. Tape the ropes to the sides if necessary to keep some of the rope out of the ice.
- Freeze. May take a few days.
- Scout out your best local sledding hill. We preferred our college’s golf course after dark. Warm evenings work well.
- Extract the ice block from the dishpan. It may require a little help with warm water at the edges or outsides of the pan.
- Summon accomplices. Meet at sledding hill. Bring towels.
- Set towel on ice block at top of hill. Sit on towel and ride down. Repeat until tired, bored, cold, or out of ice to slide on.
Usual sledding hazards apply, but once you dodge those, it’s a wonderful time.
Attention Northern Hemisphere: here’s your reminder about the coolest new fad.

“It wasn’t something I did arbitrarily. When I read Takahashi-sensei’s source material, I thought, ‘This character has that kind of personality so they might do this kind of thing.’ For example: Joey is the hot-blooded ‘big bro’ character -> He might like martial arts -> I suppose he likes wrestling -> I bet he likes Inoki -> The chin! That’s how it went.” — Takahiro Kagami, 2012.
I just saw the most Galaxy Brain gender take ever, from a cis man on reddit
[ID: a screenshot of a comment from reddit, with no username visible. The commend reads: This doesn’t make a ton of sense to me either. Setting aside the question of whether gender/sex is assigned or observed at birth, the gender I was assigned at birth was ‘boy.’ The gender I have now is ‘man’. Boys and men have different gender roles, and few adults identify as boys anymore. From this standpoint, every adult has a different gender than the one they had at birth. End ID]
Framing “girl” and “boy” as separate genders from “woman” and “man” is such an amazing take. it’s a framework that accommodates and explains so many trans experiences. Some trans people never were their AGAB. Some feel like they were their AGAB, but that that changed (usually when puberty hits, which is when you start “becoming a man/woman”. The accepted societal path is that girls grow up to into women, and boys grow up into men. But some girls grow up into men, and some boys grow up into women. This guy was a boy who grew up into a man, which generally works out pretty well for people. Some boys and girls grow up into people who aren’t men or women, even! It’s like this random cis guy skipped right over transgender 101, 102, 201, etc. and stumbled directly into Transgender Nirvana.
