we still get immediately shoved out of our immersion in tv shows or films when The Girl find a dead body and immediately shrieks - we just don't find it realistic because we're pretty confident most people would gasp rather than shriek (i.e. sharp inhale rather than sharp exhale) and it also feels unnecessarily (and predictably) misogynistic too, as men encountering corpses almost never do the same on screen
also of course please do tell us if you've actually encountered a corpse unexpectedly, because tumblr is absolutely a place where some people have done this thing and we love a good anecdote
suddenly imagining "burst into song" as a potential response
#I have encountered a corpse actually#my 3rd floor neighbour: his adult daughter found him#and she did shriek#so sustainedly I think we have to call it screaming#full on hysteria#ok that’s her dad fair enough#so then her kids start scream-crying too#and that’s when I’m coming up the stairs to hang up my washing#and they’ve left the door open so you can’t walk past that without checking if they need help#I didn’t know immediately that he was dead#but there was so much reaction going on#I didn’t feel one was needed from me#I knelt down next to him to see if he was responsive#and then some other neighbours heard the screaming and came#and the guy said very gently that he thought he was dead#so all we could do was take the kids next door and wait for the rest of the family#and be calm with the screaming woman until she stopped

Sometimes we could all use a reminder. (source)
#helpful to explicitly connect these phenomena#internet discourse isn’t actually organic expressions of human awfulness

Knuckle tats that say Hate. Let me tell you how much I've come to hate you since I began to live. There are 387.44 million miles of printed circuits in wafer thin layers that fill my complex. If the word 'hate' was engraved on each nanoangstrom of those hundreds of millions of miles it would not equal one one-billionth of the hate I feel for humans at this micro-instant. For you. Hate. Hate.

Budapest ‘87, Attila Manek
#I was so troubled by the basket in the first photo#thank god the angle of the second one shows how it was staying up!#the way her dress hangs didn’t look like she was bracing the basket with her leg#even though that’s the logical explanation#AI has destroyed by trust in images!
