The photo above is the closest humanity has ever come to creating Medusa. If you were to look at this, you would die instantly.
The image is of a reactor core lava formation in the basement of the Chernobyl nuclear plant. It’s called the Elephant’s Foot and weighs hundreds of tons, but is only a couple meters across.
Oh, and regarding the Medusa thing, this picture was taken through a mirror around the corner of the hallway. Because the wheeled camera they sent up to take pictures of it was destroyed by the radiation. The Elephant’s Foot is almost as if it is a living creature.
Friendly reminder that this blob of core material was so hot and dense, it melted/burned through three floors of the building before coming to rest in the lowest basement.
And there’s now a unique species of black mold that feeds off the gamma radiation it produces.
Is no one else seriously freaked out by that mold? No? Just me, then?
Comparisons between Detective Pikachu and the Super Mario Bros. movie are really kind of uncharitable. I mean, one’s an Americanised adaptation of a colourful, family-friendly Nintendo game that recasts its source material as a gritty investigative action-adventure piece featuring a pair of emotionally dysfunctional protagonists navigating a noir cyberpunk dystopia populated by grotesque monsters, and the other is… hm.
You’re really funny and original, you know that
The Silence of the Lambs stole its plot from Care Bears: A New Generation.
Consider:
Both stories feature a young woman who excels in her field, but is not taken seriously by her peers (Christy/Agent Starling)
Both protagonists cut a deal with a socially awkward monster (Dark Heart/Hannibal Lecter), who demands an unsettling but seemingly innocuous quid pro quo for his assistance
Both realise too late that the monster’s apparently disinterested aid is actually part of an elaborate scheme to draw out an older mentor who’s been watching over her (True Heart Bear/Jack Crawford)
Both are forced to enter a dangerous situation alone after the monster sends her allies on a wild goose chase (hunting Dark Heart’s shadow to the ends of the earth/investigating Buffalo Bill’s former Illinois residence)
Both plots come to a head with a final confrontation in an underground lair where young people are kept imprisoned for sport (Dark Heart’s pocket dimension/”Jack Gordon’s” basement)
In both cases, the monster walks free at the end, having never truly been called to account for his crimes (self-explanatory)
guy fieri’s flagship show is all about him going to underappreciated family-owned restaurants, praising their work and bringing them nationwide positive attention and business. he openly supports lgbt people like his sister and frequently has gay chefs on his grocery games competition, including ones revolving around relationships and family. he donates all of the non-perishable food from grocery games to food banks and advocates for fighting hunger. he goes to parts of the country where natural disasters have hit and hosts big events where he cooks for and feeds the victims. he has a legitimately funny sense of humor on his shows and is generally said to be a really nice person. he loves his son and has done whole television specials about taking him along on trips having once-in-a-lifetime experiences together. he might look goofy but that man does things that nourish the SOUL and u cant put frosted spikes on THAT
I’m glad we got this universe’s Guy Fieri and not the Homestuck one
