the reason these exist (iirc) is because peppa pig is banned in china for “promoting gangster attitudes”: peppa was popular (for whatever reason) with “shehuiren” (anti-establishment internet users), who made a lot of memes involving peppa and even got tattoos of her because it’s funny. the result of banning peppa is that shehuiren-types liked peppa even more afterwards, and now she’s a bit of a counterculture symbol in china. hence these shirts.
this is the EXACT kind of knowledge i absolutely had no idea i so badly needed
HUGE SHOUTOUT TO DARE BRITT FOR PUTTING PASTA IN HER WACOM PEN AND SAVING MY LIFE
(yes the picture above is done using a spagetti for a nib and it works)
yes it bloody works, we can finally be poor artists
A recent meme post actually confirmed you can use spagetti as nibs for your wacom and it works just fine! it actually fucking works and wow.
By far, this is one of the best life hacks an artist could find.
yes, this means you won’t have to worry about buying new nibs for your wacom, horray!
THIS NEEDS A BOOST
WHAT THE FUCK
This pen is ancient
They don’t sell nibs for it anymore and I’m SCREAMING
Pressure works
TILT WORKS (!!!??!!!)
REBLOG TO SAVE A LIFE
HOW ABOUT WE DON’T?
Taken from user Cinnabees:
Guys, I keep seeing that post going around about putting uncooked spaghetti noodles in your tablet pen to work as replacement nibs, and I know OP means well and stuff, but PLEASE DON’T DO THAT.
Pasta, no matter how smooth it is, is still a product of dry flour, and rubbing it down on a surface creates micro-sized grit that will scratch up your screen faster than any tablet nib, and they wear down even faster, so it won’t even be worth it. Also, it’s so brittle, if it breaks inside the pen, it will be difficult to clean it out.
Tablet nibs are a pain to replace and buy, but buying a 10 pack of them for $7-8 on Amazon is going to be a better choice than having to pay a heftier sum to repair a scratched up tablet surface/screen.
Spread this post if you can, because I’d really hate to see someone accidentally damage their tablets this way.
YEAH HOLY SHIT DO NOT FUCKING DO THIS TO YOUR SCREEN TABLETS UNLESS YOU WANT DEAD PIXELS AND MICRO SCRATCHES ALL OVER YOUR SCREEN CREATING ACTUAL DEAD ZONES WHERE YOUR PEN WONT ACTUALLY DRAW ANYMORE like that’s a fucking LIGHTNING FAST way to destroy your 1000-3000$ piece of hardware
And there we go. Debunked.
Lmao yeah please don’t scrape your $2000 screen with spaghetti
I hate the internet. I hate how this poem doesn’t need to be finished but it has 13.9k retweets and 21.1k likes. Everyone knows how this poem ends and I hate it
y’all keep doing this and idk why, journalists not allowed to put names in headlines unless it’s a well-known person hence why they use the age cuz it draws ppl in but y’all would know that if y’all googled anything
thank you. it’s literally a rule they have to follow.
Journalists are literally required to do this unless the person is already a celeb or widely known politician. This is because if they just said “Steven Udotong,” 99.999% of people would have zero context for who that is or why he’s remarkable. By describing him instead of naming him in the headline, they’re making sure everyone knows why he’s remarkable (because he’s a genius at sixteen!!!!). In reality this does far more for making his accomplishment famous, because it both proclaims why he’s amazing AND it makes the reader want to learn more.
Please at least learn the rules of a profession before you start critiquing it. I knew this shit at 15, it’s not fucking hard.
when ur reading fanfic and one character was cooking and the other comes up to them and they start making out and everyones like starting to take their shirts off and the author STILL hasnt mentioned anyone turning off the stove
