I recently learned about the many types of water that exist, because I didn‘t know the difference.
Unfortunately I cannot let you in on the same excitement to learn about them, because I am German and can‘t be bothered to translate them to English. I especially like „Weiher“ which I only recently learned existed. If you speak German, enjoy:
- -Teich. Ein von Menschen künstlich angelegtes Stück Wasser.
- -Stausee. Ebenfalls künstlich von Menschen angelegt. Groß. Der Wasserstand lässt sich kontrollieren. Hat eine große Talsperre (Staumauer).
- -Pfütze. Kommt vom Regen.
- -Tümpel. So etwas wie eine große Pfütze, jedoch füllt sie sich wieder, sollte sie mal austrocknen.
- -Weiher. Tiefer als ein Tümpel und trocknet meist nicht aus.
- -See. Großes Stillgewässer.
- -Meer. Bekannt. Sehr groß.

Nature is so beautiful and the human desire to create meaning is so beautiful and rivers are such a peak embodiment of both!! looking at any significant river gives you so much history! just think about how the Mississippi river was a direct witness to the american industrial revolution! the history part is so fun but from that stems the symbolic meaning we assign to the things that sustain us, think how engrained the Nile is in Egyptian Mythology, the phrase 'crossing the Rubicon,' etc etc!!!! rivers are such an underrated CLASSIC piece of humanity and you can get nerdy and weird with it one of my favorites is the Colorado because of Fallout: New Vegas and I also love the Amazon because of it's geological history related to the Andes mountains <3. my favorite thing to do instead of paying attention in class is learn about rivers. rivers cuomo is cool too

I‘ve always felt passionate about breathing and for the last couple of days (currently 7) I‘ve done it all the time. Literally every few seconds.
Please don‘t come at me with addiction or whatever, I like it and I don‘t think it has gotten out of hand yet. Sure, I also do it in my sleep, non-stop, but I‘m sure it‘s fine. It just rejuvenates me.
Anyone else having a streak right now? Or maybe someone who doesn’t breath? Tell me your experience with it.

If someone has a mustache, I immediately think of them higher as if they wouldn’t have one.
Bad people can of course have a mustache as well, and if it turns out a bad person holds a faithful mustache, I immediately think of them even lower, simply because now they also harm all mustache-wearers with their actions.
You guys don‘t know how much I enjoy a proper mustache. And if you’re old and already have white hair, then a mustache is truly even more magnificent. Man I like a good mustache!
I especially like mustaches with no other facial hair besides it, or maybe a tiny bit. Nothing that could be classified as a beard besides the mustache though. And do NOT swirl the edges into circles, I hate that. Do however keep the edges long and sharp, I enjoy that. Kind of like „von Mackensen“ did. He had one of the greatest mustaches and I aspire to look similar one day.
