I sent a letter today - something I havenât done for years
Itâs full of plastic bread clips
Itâs for Science
At the risk of loosing some mystery, I think I should add some context:
Thereâs this website-I mean, scientific organization called the Holotypic Occlupanid Reasurch Group.
They are a group of abiologists who study and classify Bread clips.
I found a species that has not yet been described:
Yay for citizen science đ
wtf?
Update:
Apparently HORG is widely appreciated by pediatricians since knowing exactly what kind of Occlupanid a child may have swallowed makes removing it safely much easier
IIRC this is actually part of the reason HORG was started. A man swallowed a breadclip and the clip closed around part of his tissue linings (in his intestines I think?). The specific shape and flexibility of the clip were significant determining factors in the removal process, as some bread clips have spikes and prongs that would have made extraction more complicated. They started the taxonomy so they could work out extraction techniques for each type.
are you fucking kidding me occlu like oculus or close and panid like bread. its a fancy word for breadcloser
Viking traveler’s amulet, based on the Lillbjärs picture stone. The back reads: “Unharmed Go Forth, Unharmed Return, Unharmed Back Home”, Frigga’s blessing to Odin, possibly from Vafþrúðnismál.
How does this have almost 10,000 notes ?
Because the world is full of trouble and every little bit of help counts.

Since it started as an inconsiderate name grab from Judaism that whoâs most famous example was something built to fight against racists and prevent genocide into a mere monster.
While there are more dangerou golems, they were generally monstrous due to being overly literal or âwhat is life?â philosophy questions.
âConstructâ in general is probably good.Â
Maybe individual less generic namesÂ
Puns based on golems are fine I feel to an extent. And similar concepts arenât inherently anti-Semitic, but you knowâŠ
From dwollsadvantures
Shabti? Or ushabti, ancient egyptian statues made to serve their master after death. Their legs are inscribed with affirmations of how they serve, sort of like a golemâs chem. They are religious, but a religion that hasnât been really practiced for thousands of years
âHomunculusâ (plural âHomunculiâ) can mean âfake humanâ, âmodel of a humanâ (like an anatomy dummy), or âhuman shaped statueâ, which feels appropriate for âmagical object given a semblance of lifeâ.
Creature made of hay or tools animated by the devil in exchange for three drops of blood, from Estonian folklore.
They labor endlessly, but must be kept busy lest they turn on their creator. They fit the minion-of-an-evil-wizard role very well, and naturally fill that âmagical robotâ niche.
