iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

Apparently using my position as a content creator to provide some comfort for my viewers during a stressful situation is "political" now. Give me a fucking break! 😒 (He deleted the comment btw, because he's a little bitch boy)

YouTube unwrapping video but it’s me pulling the stuck shed off my lizard.

Family Feud but it’s the Capulets competing against the Montagues (this is a Romeo and Juliet reference, this is very funny)

"Those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it" Me desperately trying to forget my last paycheck (I'm broke af right now 💀):

This meme but the friend in question has insomnia (this is a very funny joke, please laugh)

That moment when you can't find the reaction image you want because you have no clue what it's called and can't describe it accurately in a search engine.

I know things are dire, but don't succumb to despair, that's what Trump and his followers want you to do. Stand strong, survive, and reach out to the resources listed below if you need someone to talk to. You can survive this, don't let him win!

Do not fall into hopelessness.

Two fields of text.
First field:
Do Not Say
“It Will Be Okay.”
The results of this election will not be okay for pregnant women, for LGBTQ people, for the immigrants among us.

Trump and his advisors do not show concern for the rule of law, for science, for freedoms here and abroad, and for the future livability of this planet.

Trump’s economic plans are apt to have dire consequences, with the elimination of millions of consumers and workers from this country.

Second field:
Do Say
“I Will Help.”
There will be plenty of opportunities to help people on a personal level (there always are.)

Do not given in to the national sentiment at the local level. You have more power locally. Some states will also continue to not conform for as long as they are able.

Do not fall in to hopelessness.
The future is not set. Damage will happen, but other nations have found paths to restoration, and we can too.

My Paleo professor: This week we're gonna perform phylogenetic analyses and learn how to use TnT Me already having TnT installed on my computer and has run analyses for years now:

So is SVP not holding a virtual conference this year? That seems kinda dumb, you're basically screwing over anyone who may not be able to attend the meeting in person for whatever reason, whether it be financial reasons, medical reasons, or anything else. #SVP2024

DreamWorks in 1996 when Discovery Channel approached them about making a series based on After Man

The inclusion of Crichtonsaurus in at least two Jurassic World games implies that Michael Crichton canonically exists in the Jurassic Park canon, which means there's a chance the Jurassic Park novel also exists in the movie canon.

Have there been any media depictions of Thylacoleo where it doesn't make cat noises?

Mfw I'm driving home late at night and every other car on the road has LED headlights

It amuses me to no end that of all the famous cereal brands, Frosted Flakes is the one cereal that can’t be trademarked, so all the off brand generic versions can still use the name without being sued.

Why does Microsoft Word go ballistic every time I type in "passive voice", but doesn't actually give suggestions as to how to rephrase the sentence to be active voice? Like seriously if Microsoft doesn't knock it off, I might have to start writing in passive-aggressive voice.

As a kid, you're scared to check your grades. As an adult, you're scared to check your bank account. As a college student, I'm scared to check either of them.

I can't believe I'm old enough that I actually remember when the only hybrids in the JP franchise was that Chaos Effect toy line and the scrapped JP4 concept.

The fact that Protarchaeopteryx, which means "before Archaeopteryx", actually lived AFTER Archaeopteryx (The former was Early Cretaceous, the latter Late Jurassic), remains one of the greatest examples of misleading names in paleontology.

If you think you know how big Gallimimus is, you're wrong.

If the multiverse is real, then somewhere there's a universe where sapient dinosauroids come up with spec scenarios where dinosaurs went extinct and mammals took over.

Every microwave I've seen has a popcorn button, and every bag of microwave popcorn I've seen tells you NOT to use the popcorn button on the microwave. This seems to suggest that there's an evolutionary arms race going on between microwaves and popcorn.

This is still one of my favorites out of all the memes I've made.

Astrology sounds way too scientific for something that has no basis in actual science.

The fact that the closest living relative of the gharial is the false gharial is hilarious to me. The two last living members of Gavialidae are the gharial and the Totally not a Gharial

Anyone else constantly feel the need to look up sayings or phrases before you use them to make sure you remembered them correctly?

Finding out potentially important fossils (especially those that might be new species) are in private collections make me sad.

I sure do envy lizards sometimes. No essays, no exams, no jobs, no college payments. Just vibing on a warm rock and eating bugs on occasion.

Don't look up Multituberculate Earth. Worst mistake of my life.

Anyone else find coffee a bit overwhelming to get into? Like, there are so many different ways people like their coffee HOW DO I KNOW WHAT KIND I'LL LIKE THE BEST H-

I've had it with Young Earth Creationists, how about Super Old Earth Creationists? Where are the creationists who think Earth is actually trillions of years old?

TikTok sure does a good job showing off how many people don't know what "POV" means

The folks who named Bebeilong sure did get it right. That long is very beibei.

We have Sinosaurus and Cosesaurus, all we need now is Tanisaurus and the trinity will be complete.

The existence of Sinopterus implies the existence of Cosopterus and Tanopterus.

How much longer is it gonna be before Ryan Gosling finally becomes Ryan Goose?

Random Paleo "hot take" (probably cold af tbh but whatever): Chilantaisaurus should not be used as an external specifier for Megaraptora given its fragmentary and unstable nature, as well as the likelihood that it is itself a megaraptoran.

For someone who lives in a reality where genies don't exist, I sure do think about what I would wish for if I had a genie a lot.

When you want to ask your mom a question but she’s in the middle of something.

Planet Zoo, Planet Coaster and Jurassic World Evolution (1&2) are all set in the same universe, and there's nothing that any of you can say to change my mind. I call it the Frontier Shared Universe of Zoo/Park Builders.
