Now that I’m studying bio, may I just say how fervently I wish my primary association with the words “alpha, beta, omega” was literally anything other than what it is

My nutrition professor was talking about vitamins and said, “the only reason you all even know the words alpha and omega is because of sororities,” and I wanted so badly to raise my hand and be like “if you’re gonna be a dick for some reason, please let me explain to you in depth my immediate connotations for those words”

this makes me so glad to be an Internet Old and to have gone through (most of) school before alpha, beta, and omega had this context

this is a good joke but the concept of a funko pop physically aging terrifies me more than anything i’ve ever encountered in my life

“In the past, people have had some rather peculiar shellfish habits. The Romans apparently liked to eat clams that glowed in the dark. Pliny the Elder wrote about people’s mouths shining like fire, with bright juices dripping over their hands, down their tunics and onto the floor. Piles of empty mollusk shells have been found at the site of a Roman bathhouse in southern England, including bioluminescent angel wing clams (also known as piddocks). Were these the leftovers from nighttime bathers, feasting on a twinkling midnight snack?”
