HELLO FRIENDS IT IS I, YOUR FRIENDLY NEIGHBORHOOD FUCKINGRECIPES, HERE TO TELL YOU ABOUT MY TRIP TO THE DENTIST. 

SO I ARRIVE AND OF COURSE MY FANGS ARE KICKASS, BUT OH SHIT THAT SPOT OF SENSITIVITY ON MY EYETEETH ARE NOT THESE NATURAL LITTLE FUCKERS THAT I THOUGHT THEY WERE, BUT A WEARING AWAY OF ENAMEL! 

‘fucking shit’ I THOUGHT, AS I STARED AT THE PICTURE OF MY GLORIOUS FANGS WITH THEIR TINY LITTLE SPOT OF EROSION. 

‘but i brush my teeth all the damn time! Crest anticavity protection has failed me!’ 

I VOICED THIS TO MY DENTIST, SHORTLY AFTER HE WRAPPED UP THE TRADITIONAL ‘it wouldn’t bleed if you flossed more’ SPEECH. HE NODDED SAGELY, LIKE I HAD VOICED SOME LITTLE-KNOWN SECRET OF THE UNIVERSE. 

‘toothpaste erodes your enamel. It’s too strong.’ 

WHAT THE FUCKING SHIT BALLS FUCKERY IS THIS BULLSHIT?

‘An experiment was done, where they took some teeth, out of people’s heads of course, and had a toothbrush machine put 7 years of wear on them via brushing in a fairly short time. Perfectly fine teeth, no difference between soft and hard bristle.’

AND THEN HE NARROWED HIS EYES, LIKE THE WORLD HAD BETRAYED HIM, AND HE WAS LOST IN HIS HEAD ON SOME SORT OF DARK VENGEANCE-QUEST. 

‘But once they added toothpaste – the Enamal started wearing away, and the teeth showed obvious signs of erosion.’

THEN HE SMILED, LIKE ONE OF THOSE ANIME PROTAGONISTS TRYING TO PRETEND THEY HADN’T JUST HAD A TRAGIC PAST FLASHBACK, AND WANTED TO REASSURE THEIR FRIENDS THAT EVERYTHING WAS A-OK.

I SWEAR I COULD SEE FUCKING SPARKLES AROUND HIS FACE. 

‘I’d much rather people brush their teeth 2-3 minutes, with just water, instead of a huge glop of toothpaste like the commercials show. Then again, a little freshness is nice. If you’re going to use it, a pea-sized bit of toothpaste, or less, is better. Flossing is essential, though!’ 

SO THERE’S YOUR WORDS OF WISDOM.

HAVE A GOOD DAY, YOU GORGEOUS MOTHERFUCKERS.

learning that most trees do not derive from a single lineage but actually only look and function superficially similarly due to convergent evolution is one of the most fucked up things i’ve ever learned and i will never be the same person as i was before i learned that

Oak trees are quite a bit more closely related to roses than they are to pine trees.

Baby seagull spray-painted red by cruel vandals

  • The young herring-gull was sprayed all over with red paint by cruel yobs
  • The bird was taken in by Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary in North Yorkshire
  • ‘Poppy’ will not be live among other gulls as she will be victim of bullying 
  • Wildlife experts call the act ‘disgusting’ and say bird’s feathers are ruined – she will need specialist care for years

A young herring-gull will need specialist care for years after cruel vandals attacked her with spray paint. The bird was taken in by Whitby Wildlife Sanctuary, North Yorkshire, after she was found covered in thick red paint.

The baby gull, who rescuers have named Poppy due to her new colour, is only a few months old and now faces a couple of flightless years while waiting for the damaged feathers to fall out.

‘She is only a baby and so she is unable to fly at the moment which means she is fairly easy to get hold of,’ Alexandra Farmer, who runs the sanctuary, said. ‘It looks like the paint that is used on the road. I think two people must have painted her because they have lifted her wings to paint underneath. One person would have held her and the other would have painted. She won’t be able to fly now because the paint has made the feathers rock hard and stiff. She keeps looking at her feet because they are so red but there is no way to wash it off.

‘She’s going to need a lot of TLC. The paint is very fumy and I’ve had to keep her in a well aerated room. She smelt terrible when she was found and that amount of fumes would make breathing quite difficult. They have painted her face and so I am taking her to the vet to make sure she didn’t breathe too much of it in.’’

‘The bird isn’t suitable for the wild and is not suitable to be with her own kind. The feathers are ruined and because she is a sea bird she needs to be well oiled which means she is no longer waterproof. People need to know the dangers. It’s just disgusting that people can do this.’

POLICE WILL BE WORKING WITH THE RSPCA TO FIND OUT WHO WAS RESPONSIBLE.

ANYONE WHO HAS ANY INFORMATION ABOUT THE INCIDENT OR KNOWS WHO IS RESPONSIBLE SHOULD CONTACT NORTH YORKSHIRE POLICE ON 101.
