As it is Passover again, it is time for the annual debate as to whether the frog plague, which thanks to a quirk in the Hebrew, is written as a plague of frog, singular, rather than the plural, plague of frogs, was in fact, as generally imagined, a plague of many frogs, or instead a singular giant Kaiju frog. This is an ancient and venerable argument that actually goes back to the Talmud because this is what the Jewish people are. If we can't argue for fun about this sort of thing, what are we even doing.
In that spirit, I would like to submit a third possibility, which is that in fact it was one perfectly normal sized frog, who was absolutely acing Untitled Frog Game: Ancient Egypt Edition. One particularly obnoxious frog, who through sheer hard work, managed to plague all of Egypt.

i do think theres something sad about how largely only the literature that's considered especially good or important is intentionally preserved. i want to read stuff that ancient people thought sucked enormous balls

just in it for the love of the game
I don't know if you guys have seen this yet, but a peer-reviewed scientific journal just published a study that included the above image.
PEER. REVIEWED.
We, as a society, are so boned.

Hi newt! There's an alligator at my work with the same name as you.
Love that they named an animal after another animal, like, "This is my cat, Pigeon."

I know not with what instruments Mambo No. 6 will be played with, but Mambo No. 7 will be played with sticks and stones.

We should do the opposite of live action remakes. Live action movies but remake them as cartoons.
Die Hard, but drawn by Don Bluth. The Godfather, but animated in that shakeymotion like Home Movies, and the dialog is improv'd. Psycho, but animated like stiff 1995 Pixar CGI

I think it was about a month into dating my betrothed that I first turned to them and said, “You smell hungry, want to get some lunch?”
“I what? I smell hungry?”
“Yeah, like, the empty smell. Aren’t you hungry?”
They were, but it was hard for them to accept smelling a state of being. After a few weeks of me pointing it out right before they realized it themself though they asked, “What does hunger smell like?”
“Bad.”
“That’s not helpful.”
“It’s like… an emptiness that goes past the mouth? Bad breath is more upfront but hunger is like you’re smelling stomach acid, it’s all the way from an empty belly.”
They started smelling my mouth in exaggerated silly fashion but eventually they did start to recognize it.
They’re now very smug when they get to use the skill back at me and inform me that I’m hungry.
