Traditional Chinese instrument Pipa琵琶,a plucked string instrument with a fretted fingerboard. Usually Pipa is 4-string but Chinese folk music artist Fang Jinlong方锦龙 has successfully recreated the 5-string Pipa that dates back to Tang dynasty. Fang shows how 5-string Pipa can imitate sounds of various stringed instruments.
That last one though!!!!
This man and his instrument are both AMAZING.

i’ll never get over the fact that there’s a movie called “snakes on a plane” and in that movie there’s a line that is, verbatim, “ive had it with these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane”.
that is absolutely bonkers. that’s ridiculous. that’s like making a movie called “gators in the sewer” and having someone in the movie say “im getting really sick and tired of these fucking gators in the sewer”
the funny part is that the alternate title was something mundane like “flight 93″ and samuel l. jackson made the director change it back to “snakes on a plane” bc he said it was the only reason he auditioned
oh my god, the youth have forgotten that there was a huge viral phenomenon when this movie was being filmed, where the internet got wind of the working title snakes on a plane, and a) demanded that title be made official, b) CAME UP WITH the line about these motherfucking snakes on this motherfucking plane, and c) GOT THE LINE INCLUDED IN THE ACTUAL MOVIE
You forgot the part where three up and coming bands in the emo scene collaborated to write a song called Snakes On a Plane and filmed a music video of themselves smuggling snakes onto a plane, and it practically launched all of their careers.
If you think for one second of my worthless life I have forgotten “Bring It (Snakes on a Plane)” released by Cobra Starship (2006) then you can think the fuck again
A few years ago when there was a flood in Toronto a GO train stalled with about a foot of water in it and a very confused small garter snake swimming about. Bored passengers awaiting rescue took videos on their phones, and naturally, a lot of references on the news were later titled “Snake on a TRAIN.” https://youtu.be/xMfTvb9A8bY

I love how this diner is on a bunch of vaporwave/dystopia blogs for its aesthetic when in real life– I’ve eaten here many times– it’s a cozy daytime luncheon in squeaky clean Old Market, Omaha, and it’s run by a really handsome older bear daddy who wears “PAPA BEAR” pawprint tshirts while he politely brings you a tuna melt, and Omaha being what it is, suburban Nebraska straight moms think his shirt is a reference to being a protective father and tell him “Oh, I’m a ‘mama bear’!” and he always smiles kindly at them like “mmhmm okay!” and I almost choke on my chocolate milk.

Why is this so funny to me? I think it’s the quick little jumpcuts, and then the reveal feels like a punchline to a joke.
Oh, what sad times are these when passing ruffians can say ‘ni’ at will to old ladies. There is a pestilence upon this land. Nothing is sacred. Even those who arrange and design shrubberies are under considerable economic stress at this period in history.
i heard u guys like carpeted bathrooms so i made a whole post of carpeted bathrooms.
catch me scooting around on the ceiling of the pink one and reaching down to zap people
I’m a fan of the neon moss toilet and the bathroom made entirely of the lumpy yellow chenille blanket that my aunt crocheted before they got the dosage right on her Adderall.
These are like my grandparents’ bathrooms on steroids.

replied to your post “my mother describes millennial mores”the only person whom I know who regularly drinks carrot juice is an 86-year-old sharecropper from Cleburne County, Alabama
I mean, his wife has been dead five years or so, so maybe he’s on the market??? but I don’t think the carrot juice necessarily follows from the sexual disappointment
there is nothing I can add to improve this set of replies
also, why are people obsessed with cgi realism when it comes to cartoons? i find that so much more boring to look at than simpler, more exaggerated and expressive designs.
