It's amazing how many garbage takes could be avoided with a single Google search.
There are tons of amazing sculptors still working today.
I mean, has the internet already forgotten the hammerhead shark made out of hammerheads?
I feel like this is a good time to bring back this classic...
Don't be a dork ass loser.

I can never let this one go by without reblogging it. :)
Also:
But other people on Twitter are resolved never to let this be forgotten. :)
So play like a noob? got it
You’re joking, but it actually is a popular theory in chess that a complete noob potentially can beat a master by confusing them - as the noob doesn’t know what they’re doing the master is unable to recognize which of valid strategies they’re pursuing and cannot deploy proper counterstrategy.
Chessmasters when their opponent doesn’t make one of the five approved optimal opening moves:
#used to do shit like this when we fenced#for real tho a newbie is way more of an issue than a master because WHAT are you doing???
I’m currently a fencing coach for a high school club and my least disciplined fencer routinely beats kids who have been fencing for 5-6 years because he’s just so unpredictable and messy that his opponents have no idea what to do.
I know what a master is doing, I just may not be faster than them. I know I’m faster than a newbie but hey what the fuck is happening?
I have, on rare occasions, won pokemon battles like this. I have no idea what the meta is, and just slap things together that sound cool. It’s fun when you win by taking someone completely off guard because “Who would run that?!” Idk man, the noob that just kicked your ass. I’m not smart enough for all these mind games that go into serious competitive pokemon, but I do know big laser go pew.
The Newbie Flail™ is the most terrifying attack imaginable.
Irl button mashing
This is 100% why I play rogue/weird decks in yugioh. I’ve played Meta, and everyone has a side deck for Meta, but weird rogue? Unknown decks that people don’t know how to counter? I’ve literally had people tell me “idk wtf your feck does so pop off king” and honestly? Perfection

Marble portrait of the emperor Caracalla. 212–217 CE. x
Caracalla took the official name of M. Aurelius Antoninus Pius as part of the Severan dynasty’s attempt to appear as the legitimate and worthy successors of the secondcentury Antonine emperors. Despite this, in his official portraiture, he abandoned the luxuriant hair and beard of his predecessors for a military style characterized by closely cropped curls and a stubble beard. An ancient source records that on his deathbed, his father Septimius Severus advised Caracalla to “enrich the soldiers and despise everyone else.” This finely carved head is a powerful rendering of the official portrait and was probably produced at an imperial
workshop, since the statue fragments are said to have been found in Rome. It is from a statue, the legs of which also survive and are displayed in the Study Collection on the Mezzanine Floor.
