Damn Nature U Pretty of the Day: Sarosh Jacob goes for a dip in Jellyfish Lake on the island of Eil Malk, Palau.

Twelve thousand years ago these jellyfish became trapped in a natural basin on the island when the ocean receded. With no predators amongst them for thousands of years, they evolved into a new species that lost most of their stinging ability as they no longer had to protect themselves. They are pretty much harmless to humans although some people with very sensitive skin may get a minor irritation from them.

[thanks sarosh!]

I remember being little and playing the Aladdin game on Sega Genesis and my best friend told me that if you say “Aladdin” too many times in a row, it sounds like nothing. It blew my mind, a really vivid childhood memory. Semantic satiation, y’all.

I really, really enjoyed this mini-documentary.

This is beautiful. Is it strange that I want to work in a flax-spinning mill now? (Is it even called a mill? Factory? Plant?)

JIA JIA JIA, JUST WANNA BE YA.

Shit is CRAZY! This girl apparently accidentally brushed the old woman with her dirty shoe, and this is how she was punished (don’t mess with the ajumma!). At the end of the video, she is on the phone saying, “Dad, I hate Korea, I hate Korea, I hate Korea.” Whoa. Happened this week on the green line, my subway line, y’all!
