Disgust has absolutely no ethical weight. If you are basing your ethical positions on the emotion of disgust you should stop, it is entirely unjustified and leads to a huge amount of harm.
Word for today: wisdom of repugnance
The logical fallacy that because something disgusts you it must be bad
ALTthis is probably the funniest example of a tumblr user simply not reading the post theyre reblogging at all

Stupid is timeless.
I’m that lady who’s just FEELING it
tbh cables were like that and safety precautions weren’t hard set in yet
Oh wow this is horrifying
Holy shit
Why don’t we see this kind of stuff more in history books?! I’d be way more interested in history if I understood that people were afraid of electricity because they were afraid of power lines slicing them to peices like cheese-wire! History books make it sound like “oh those silly people thought electricity carried demons or something!” Rather than “those poor people opposed electricity because they were terrified that eventually there would be so many power lines they wouldn’t be able to see the sun anymore.”

Me, reading about people fearing electricity when it was invented: well, people always fear changes and the new, so-
*further reads about the madness that was the massive powerlines and its horrifying lack of safety”
-you know what. I would do the exact same: be terrified of the “giant electricity spider”.
also if any of those zillions of lines snapped–which im betting they did more than zero times!– you would have anything from a brief and scary lightshow to a deadly thrashing snake dropped down to street level to shoot lightning into anything iron or copper, which back then was cars, carriages, drainpipes, canes, buckles, umbrellas, signposts. how happy was a carthorse going to be with electricity grounding itself on its harness or bit? how safe was a kid with everyone running around and cars crashing and horses flipping their shit? what happens when a man uses a steel-framed umbrella to try and smack the cable away?
people in the past were the correct amount of scared of electricity! modern people just forgot all sense.

hello 🐙
This is not anthropomorphization but genuinely something theyre known to do. I’ve heard divers say octopuses and cuttlefish get fascinated by hand gestures and will sometimes respond to them like. We probably do look like we have little cephalopods on the ends of our arms, to them. Like we’re always putting on a puppet show.

I love it when my culture is mocked properly.
God damn I want more of these impressions. It reminds me of 1995’s Fighting Baseball, in which a Japanese developer needed some American names for the game but could not be bothered to look up actual names, and just came up with ones that sounded American, giving us this beautiful shit:
And goddamnit Todd Bonzalez is the funniest fucking name I can imagine.
So please, non-usamericans, keep giving your best yankee impressions. We deserve to be mocked and it’s funny as hell.
