i think one of the funniest things ever is how many rock and metal bands are just four or five identical white dudes with long brown hair parted in the middle. like they’ve gotta be cranking these dudes out in a factory at this point. they don’t even have to be in the same genre, you can find them anywhere. they’re like some kind of metal fungus.

i would love to argue with this but you will never fucking believe what i look like

nah you get into metal and slowly metamorphose into looking like this also ''identical dudes'' is exaggerating 'cause i think i can tell the different genres they play by their outfits

A while ago, I discovered an old meaning of the word "perverted", and I added it to Wiktionary. Here's my definition, with the two demonstrative quotes I included.

Unless you've read Maxwell, there's basically no way you've heard the term. It wasn't even common in its day. But recently I realized that I've actually sort of heard this use, in a way, and so have you. Look at this ribbon.

At the point this twisted ribbon crosses the dotted line, it reverses chirality. Each side is a sort of mirror image of the other. The name for this phenomenon of a twisted object reversing chirality, you will remember, is "tendril perversion".

Wikipedia's article on tendril perversion used to have a notice at the top, reading "This article is about the geometric phenomenon. For the pornographic genre, see tentacle erotica." You know, for the benefit of people who wanted to read about tentacle porn but typed in "tendril perversion" as their best attempt at what it could be called. That recently got removed due to suspicion that it was "a joke" and "unnecessarily obscene."

Fortunately, the tentacle erotica article still opens with "This article is about the pornographic genre. For the geometric phenomenon, see tendril perversion." So they're being considerate of people who want to read about telephone cords getting messed up, but who misremember the term for that as "tentacle erotica."
