Reblog to spread this. This isn’t something to keep silent on.

Light, darkness, mush and angst.

Long ago, all four tropes lives in harmony until some Hot Topic employees in black coats attacked.

Only Jesse McCartney, master of all four tropes could stop them. But when the world needed him most, he fell asleep.

A hundred years passed and his angst was ripped out. Four years past and then he fell asleep once more.

Ten years past and his clone born from another bro raged. But his summer vacation waned.

Another year has gone and our boi is still alone. Although he sleeps constantly, I believe he can save the world.

Unless he ignores his alarm and dooms the world.

100-Year-Old Life Hacks That Are Surprisingly Useful Today

justlifehacks:

People don’t often look back on the early 1900’s for advice, but what if we could actually learn something from the Lost Generation? The New York Public Library has digitized 100 “how to do it” cards found in cigarette boxes over 100 years ago, and the tips they give are so practical that millennials reading this might want to take notes.

Back in the day, cigarette cards were popular collectibles included in every pack, and displayed photos of celebrities, advertisements, and more. Gallaher cigarettes, a UK-founded tobacco company that was once the largest in the world, decided to print a series of helpful how-to’s on their cards, which ranged from mundane tasks (boiling potatoes) to unlikely scenarios (stopping a runaway horse). Most of them are insanely clever, though, like how to make a fire extinguisher at home. Who even knew you could do that?

The entire set of life hacks is now part of the NYPL’s George Arents Collection. Check out some of the cleverest ones we could find below. You never know when you’ll have to clean real lace!

Use intellect devourers to posses the low level members of rival organizations, then have them kidnap their superiors and use intellect devourers on them. Rinse and repeat, until your dramatic confrontation is you, alone, staring them and their entire organization down, waiting till they’re done gloating, then snapping your fingers and at watching their entire army turn on them.
