Rat king
Rat king

this article has the banger of a sentence "Any fabrications would most likely have been created using dead rats, given how difficult the process would be if the rats were alive." creating a delightful image in the reader's brain. the actual concept is kind of metal, but might not really exist

Psychosexual development
Psychosexual development

what the hell is this image. did people ask them. I guess it is associated with the banger of a quote "impartial, avuncular discipline" for the way this particular society delivered punishments to kids, according to the anthropologist in the center. anyway the so called theory as a whole did terrible things to science and psychology specifically but inspired lots of great art so who can say

Waymo
Waymo

Reading the history of this company it seems like it genuinely started from someone's passion for discovery and making the world a better place, but right now all these stupid things do is run into people and make life harder for taxi/uber drivers. I wish that all innovation didn't have to be couched in how it will allow you to destroy people's livelihoods in the long term (and that living was not tied to labor). I wish the waymo could give free rides among other waymos and help everyone get where they're going even if they can't drive. and I hate these stupid fucking things when I see them on the street. hence my ambiguous rating probably more than they deserve

Puffball
Puffball

what's your image? is that a puffball mushroom? anyway really the GOAT on a rainy fall hike and to delight and dazzle kids. only not 5 stars because you can't eat them after they become puffballs, which is one of god's little jokes. but they taste delicious beforehand.

Motte-and-bailey castle

You can sort of see why we don't make these anymore but I always thought it would be kind of fun to cower with my friends in the motte while being beseiged. maybe we'd tell stories to pass the time or you'd meet someone you never normally see because they work in a different part of the town or whatever. but it probably sucks when you get out and the bailey is destroyed. sliding doors.

Love
Love

came here to read all the cute messages to people's significant others and learned oh my god some of you people should break up. anyway 5 stars for the divine experience, 2 stars for what people do in its name. like god I guess

Steampunk
Steampunk

one of the few truly 3 star things in life. intensely cool aesthetic, co-opted by intensely mid origins and some people who are into it being very annoying. But I like gears and incandescent lightbulbs. middle of the road.
