It’s Science! The Perfect Road Trip

brittneybrightside

y’all think this is cute and fun looking but as a bamf that drove 3,000+ miles across the country I can tell you that its not. When you get on I90 and your  GPS tells you to go straight for the next 450miles and you realize you could watch the entire Braveheart movie twice before you see anything other than cow pastures or corn fields you beg for death. I saw so much weird ass shit from towns with horses that wander like stray dogs and places where people say weird shit like “Sure dont!”. America is fucking bizzaro and a trip like this is only for the most Mad Max-iest of mother fuckers.

to repair the metaphor it’ll need to be “cars invented specifically to kill people”

they’re called tanks and they’re…frowned upon

BEEP BEEP IT’S A HOBBY

i mean…not all guns are designed to kill people. some are designed to kill animals. like, ya know. for food.

I’M JUST A HUMBLE SETTLER TRYNA PUT A FOX ON THE TABLE FOR MY WIFE AND KIDS

EXCEPT THAT ARGUMENT IS BULLSHIT

CARS ARE FUCKING REGULATED TO HELL AND BACK

THEY HAVE TO HAVE SEAT BELTS

YOU HAVE TO /WEAR/ THE SEAT BELTS

YOU HAVE TO TRAIN FOR A YEAR IN HOW TO USE ONE

YOU HAVE TO PASS A TEST TO PROVE YOU KNOW HOW TO USE ONE

IF YOU FUCK UP AND USE IT IRRESPONSIBLY, THERE ARE FINES AND YOUR LICENSE CAN BE REVOKED

THIS WHOLE FUCKING ARGUMENT IS BULLSHIT

Also, there are MORE DANGEROUS vehicles and those are EVEN MORE regulated!

You can’t drive your race car on the roads! You have to trailer them to and from race tracks

Cars DID KILL A FUCK TON OF PEOPLE, and honestly still do, so you know what we did?

We created a whole fucking government agency to regulate them (see: Department of Motor Vehicles),
We created laws to govern their responsible use (it hasn’t ENDED ALL misuse but it sure as fuck decreased the commonality of accidents/deaths)
We have police ESPECIALLY DEDICATED to patrolling and keeping an eye on people who use cars to make sure they’re using them correctly!

So no, maybe we didn’t outright BAN cars, BUT WE TOOK A RESPONSIBLE FUCKING STEP AND CREATED REGULATIONS AND LAWS AND STUDIED CAUSES OF MOTOR VEHICLE DEATHS

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Excellent discourse but that beep beep tank image is fucking killing me XD

ThinkProgress reports that between 2009 and 2012, 40 percent of mass shootings started with a shooter targeting his girlfriend, wife or ex-wife. Last year alone, nearly a third of mass shooting deaths were related in some way to domestic violence.

WARNING - PLEASE READ IF YOU HAVE A PEANUT ALLERGY AND LIKE TO SHMEAR MAKEUP ON YOUR SKIN TO MAKE YOU LOOK AS FLAWLESS AS YOUR PERSONALITY

I am one such an individual, and last night I was super pumped to try this concealer. Out of curiosity I read the ingredients and saw something called arachidyl behenate.

Anything with the root “arachi” such as “arachis oil” is probably peanut related. And, sure enough, I did some research and arachidyl behenate is peanut-derived. Which is the story of how I nearly smushed a deadly food allergen into my skin.

There’s a report here from last year that seems to indicate that some food allergens are neutralized when processed for cosmetics, but I’m not sure that applies for peanuts. And at any rate, they did indicate there was still a risk of a reaction if such proteins weren’t processed properly.

Now, I’m gonna say it outright - I’m not one hundred percent sure that a heavily processed peanut-derived chemical such as arachidyl behenate will cause a reaction. I’ve worn a lot of makeup over the years without checking the ingredients, so I could have easily used a product containing it without knowing. Still, better safe than sorry.

Alternate names for peanut products (anything with the prefix “arachi-” should be considered suspect):

beer nuts, earth nuts, goobers, groundnuts, groundnut oil, hypogaeic acid, katchung oil, mandelonas

A full list can be found here, another cosmetic-specific one here.

Here’s some articles on the subject:

Stay safe, guys, and please signal boost for any peanut-allergic followers you might have!

YES THIS IS ACTUALLY VERY IMPORTANT

This can literally save someone with peanut allergies’ life. Always reblog, even if it doesnt apply to you personally.
