Greetings! The name is Time Lizzy, or Time as my friends call me. They/Them pronouns. I love to try new things, draw, sing, dance, garden, and I do some witchcraft in my free time. I'm a Hetalia role playing partner if you guys are interested.
I don’t have scale for just how much fucking manure that is
Well, let’s get a sense of scale then!
When I’m doing garden work and I need fertilizer, I go and buy a bag of Black Kow, cause it’s what they’ve got at Home Depot.
I’ve never bought enough to get the bulk discount, but this guy sure would have. So that’s $4.68 each.
According to some numbers I found on google, and some math of my own, the average sales tax nationwide in 2018 is gonna be just about 6.5 percent. (I also found out that apparently Montana and New Hampshire both just… don’t do sales tax? Weird!)
Anyway, total budget/(price per unit of manure *
(1+sales tax)) gives us 200,000/(4.68*1.065), which is gonna be around 40,127 50 pound bags of manure. (so, around two million pounds, or a thousand tons of cow crap)
But wait! That’s just a number! How big IS a thousand tons of poop?
Well, it’s just over a hundred and fifty elephants.
It’s about 25 fully-loaded semi trucks, including the weight of the trucks themselves.
It’s about five blue whales.
If we go by what this guy says in this Seattle Times article, then the pile of manure would easily outweigh the guy’s house.
So, uh, yeah. That’s a lot of poop. But that’s just the weight of the huge pile of cow dung. What about the volume?
So, about that much manure. Of course, manure isn’t gonna stay in a nice, neat pile. It’s gonna spread out into a roughly conical shape. The highest angle at which it’ll rest without falling over is what’s known as the critical angle of repose, which is not something I thought I would be able to find for manure, but there’s a paper I found that gives us a good estimate.
So, it’s gonna be between about 25 and 35 degrees, I’ll split the difference, say 30 degrees. So, we know the angles involved, and the total volume of the cone this’ll end up being. From there it’s just a little bit of geometry and some algebra. (V =
π*r^2*(h/3))
That ends up being a cone that’s around 23 feet tall, and 40 feet in diameter, like so.
That’s about how much manure $200,000 will buy you.
That mugshot is the picture of pure petty joy
That is the face of a man that is thinking “worth it!”
straight creators when they get asked if their character is gay: Art is meant to be interpreted. If you think she is gay, then she is gay. I’m honoured that this character has meant something to members of the LGBTQ community; it’s very humbling that you see your experiences reflected in her. Thank you.
gay creators when they get asked if their character is gay: ya lmao
this pride month if i see ANY of you fuckers including ace/aro identities anywhere, if you even fucking say the words asexual or aromantic in any context of pride in any day this June, you have 0% of my patience and respect. this month isn’t for ace/aro identities and never will be. shut the fuck up.
It sure is June and I’ve never been prouder to call myself asexual
What a great day to be Asexual and Aromantic!
Wow aces and aros are so cool
Man I love and support all asexuals and aromantics this Pride!
The perfect month to shower my cishet ace fiancé in kisses and remind him every day that he’s part of our community and that I’m proud of him.
I love being ace!
I love my ace gf and can’t wait to propose to her next month! I also love all my ace/aro friends and followers!
The sun is shining, my home is full of music and Asexuals and Aromantics are valid parts of the lgbtA community.
i deserve unrestricted access to old churches and castles i want to know all the secrets
i work in a castle and have unrestricted access and let me tell you sometimes knowing all the secrets……is worse
please share with us the secrets
what you guys want then, huh? You want royal family gossip? You wanna hear about the Duchess of York sneaking her lover into her room through a secret door? Or do you want the gross shit, like the skull stuck on the pike on top of the keep which nobody really knows how it got there but maintenance says it’s too high up to get down? Or the fact we tell kids the skeleton in the store room is ‘just a dummy’ but in reality nobody can break the grate without collapsing the wall?
Ya’ll wanna hear about the G H O S T D O G?????
I in fact want to hear all of those like way too much for it to be healthy
None of this served as a functional deterrent for me. I am ravenous for further details.
To those 3 of you who unfollowed me tonight for reasons unknown, I miss you dearly. Was it something I said? Do we need Relationship counseling? Please come back to me. Just existing has been a most exhausting task without you.
but sharky, they won’t see this post because they already unfollowed you…..
True lovers will always find their way back to each other
just had the strangest encounter at the cvs photo counter…. i was like “hi i had some photos printed through your website” and the employee just said “so?”
“Hi I had some photos printed through your website”
“Deceit tries to replace Morality… fuels Anxiety… silences Logic. But worst is what he does to Roman.
Roman, who remains stubbornly in his room, struggling to find that one good idea (and, just maybe avoiding the others after that argument last week). Who wants nothing to do with Deceit but can’t quite manage to keep him from invading his personal space. Who eventually stops protesting and just tries to ignore him because it’s more effort than it’s worth– and what’s the harm in pretending that someone actually likes what he creates?
Because while Deceit is in opposition to the other sides and the things they represent, he needs Creativity. And as Roman is going to discover, a little self-deception can be far more dangerous than he could possibly imagine.
Isn’t it nice to be needed?”
Inspired by (and with advice from) @ahoardofsides, aka @stainedglasshoard, who also happens to be the amazing and fantastic artist I am paired with for ts-storytime’s Big Bang Fic Challenge! You’ve probably seen their stained glass pieces on tumblr, but if you haven’t— what are you waiting for, go check them out!
I don’t think it’s too spoilery to say this is also inspired by the fic I’m writing for the challenge, titled Suspension of Disbelief. You want villain Deceit? We’ve got villain Deceit. You want Roman angst?? Buckle up and get psyched— August is less than a month and a half away! >:3
