This clockwork silver automaton was made 15 years before the First Fleet got to Australia. The mechanism was created by a guy named John Joseph Merlin who liked to make a splash at parties by rollerskating around (on inline skates of his own invention) while dressed as a barmaid and either distributing alcohol or playing the fiddle.
History can be considerably more bizarre than fiction.
This looks like stop motion animation
> Other inventions of Merlin’s include: a self-propelled wheelchair, a communication system for summoning servants, and a prosthetic device for “persons born with stumps only”, whist cards for the blind, a pump for expelling “foul air”, a pedal-operated revolving tea table, and a mechanical chariot with an early form of odometer.
Today I spoke with and comforted a friend who’s partner broke up with them because they found out she was bisexual.
“If you can’t even commit to one gender, how can you commit to one person?” Was the phrasing they were given.
What. The. Fuck.
I’m sorry, but if you share that opinion, then you can go ahead and un-follow me right now. Being bisexual doesn’t mean that you have a commitment problem. That’s like breaking up with someone who says they find both blondes and brunettes attractive.
“Well, since I’m a blonde and you like both blondes AND brunettes, I can’t be with you because you’re just going to cheat on me with a brunette”.
Yeah, see how ridiculous that sounds? Same concept. Hubs and I have been together over five years and I’ve never once said “Hmm, well, I’ve been with him the allotted amount, time to sleep with a woman again”.
Lets get something straight (haha): Bisexual people aren’t any more likely to cheat on you than anyone else. It’s insulting, offensive and downright hateful to suggest that someone is more or less likely to cheat because of their sexuality. Fuck off.
