I pretend to be complex and clever but in reality, nothing has ever made me laugh harder than those bad Chinese subtitles from the bootleg Lord of the Rings DVDs. Tears streaming down my face, core aching, slowly suffocating because I’m laughing too hard.

also (because one can never have too many of these)

and my personal favorite:

I somehow forgot to add my own favorite, which is this one:

I also appreciate the ones that really change the tone and suggest that the characters openly loathe each other…

and this one, which gently encourages self-care:

[buckyforcap]

okay but like… why is “age of ultron” called “age of ultron”????? it’s wasn’t really an “age”, it happened over the course of like three days. it was more like a long weekend. it was the long weekend of ultron

[kerryrenaissance]

Marketing probably didn’t think “Weekend at Ultron’s” would draw in the crowds.

its fucked up to me how, like, we as a humanity can forget how to make shit. like how the west forgot how to make glass or some shit for a while.

[vivian-void]

nobody knows the exact way of creating lots of ancient stuff; greek fire and damascus steel are really well known examples, and material scientists are still studying roman cement because it’s better than modern cement 

[joyceanfartboner]

isnt that so fucked up

[a-daks]

all because SOME MOTHERFUCKERS always think it’s a good idea to destroy libraries.

I’m so here for the historic vagueblogging

As WWII escalated, Lamarr was motivated to find a way to steer torpedoes by remote control using changing radio frequencies, which she called “frequency hopping,” so that the transmissions could not be jammed by enemies. 

She donated her patent to the U.S. government, but the Navy rejected her designs, convinced the mechanisms would be too large to fit into a torpedo. 

They responded with, “You should go raise money for the war. That’s what you should be doing instead of this silly inventing,” (which she did, raising war bonds by the millions). So she silently watched her invention become a reality under the credit of others and never made a dime from it. 

Over 50 years after her original patent, Hedy did FINALLY get some acknowledgment - even a few awards - but she didn’t show up to accept them. By then, botched plastic surgery made her very reclusive. She died alone in Florida at the age of 86. Her obituaries began with her beauty and made only brief references to the invention she had hoped would prove her mind was beautiful, too.

Today, frequency hopping is used with the wireless phones that we have in our homes, GPS, and most military communication systems.
