Evolution Acceptance Still Flatlined in America →

deconversionmovement:

A new Gallup poll shows that, as it has for the past thirty years, acceptance of evolution in the U.S. has remained static. In fact, the latest statistics (light green line in figure below), show that 46% of Americans are young-earth creationists), 32% adhere to some form of god-guided or theistic evolution (dark green line), and only 15% adhere to evolution as we scientists know it (“human beings have developed over millions of years from less advanced forms of life, but God had no part in this process”).  Young-earth creationism rose 6% since the last survey, which may not be a statistically significant change.

So, I saw the latest Humble Indie Bundle and my eyes bugged out of my head. I owned none of the games, except for, technically, Psychonauts, which I had bought a used PS2 port of years ago that never worked. So I went ahead and got the whole thing, Bastion included.

Even though I consider myself a gamer I don’t get to buy new games often. So I’m pretty excited. Just consider this a fair warning of A) possible decreased tumblr activity B) possible increase in video game related reblogs.

Also, if you like video games and paying what you want for them legally you should take a look at the Humble Indie Bundle V. 

Cheap, easy, fast, delicious Nutella pastries

So. Like. I realized a few minutes ago that there might be people out there who don’t know how to make some of the cheapest, easiest, most delicious pastries on Earth. Like, I don’t even need to include photos for this, because, like, a 5 year old could make it.

YOUR INGREDIENTS

3 tubes of those premade-crescent roll dough triangles. (You can find them for 1$-1.50$ apiece if you buy the offbrand)

1 jar of Nutella (3-4$) OR whatever chocolate-y spread you enjoy. I know Jiff is doing a Nutella clone these days.

(This will get you about 30 of these) 

OR

1/3rd jar of Nutella for every tube of crescent roll dough.

DIRECTIONS:

Note the cooking directions for the crescent rolls. Preheat the oven to whatever they say to preheat it to.

Open the crescent rolls.

Lay out the little crescent roll triangles on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil (or just slap them right on the baking sheet if you don’t mind washing it later) . Take a knife, spread Nutella all over one side of the triangles (the upward facing side). Roll them up, as instructed on the crescent roll package.

Cook for however long the cresant roll package tells you to cook them for. AIM FOR THE LOWER END of their cooking estimate. Nobody likes burnt Nutella.

Let them cool. Then consume. Or wow your friends. These are seriously as good as the chocolate pastries you can buy at Panera for like, 2$ apiece. Eat them for breakfast! Or a snack! Or lunch! Or just continuously until they run out!
