Have you seen this post?

You probably have. It currently has over 120,000 notes, largely because of this addition.

Of course it's going to get reblogged, this kind of unsourced factoid does numbers on here. But something about it wasn't quite right.

A bit of searching turned up the origin of the "fact".

Alright, so it's someone who posted this on reddit 4 years ago and somehow ended up in the search hits. And the post confuses the electric eel (from South America) with the electric catfish (from the Nile, which the Egyptians would have known about).

Reminder: this is an electric eel (Electrophorus electricus). It is from South America. (image from Wikipedia)

And this is an electric catfish (Malapterurus electricus). It is from the Nile and would have been familiar to the ancient Egyptians. (image from Wikipedia)

And then of course people were speculating in the notes to that post about trade routes between South America and Egypt. Excellent scholarship everyone.

At this point I was ready to call it another made-up internet fact that gets reified by people repeating it. But something was still bothering me.

An ancient Egyptian slab from 3100 BC. What could that be...

Oh.

The Narmer palette. It's the goddamn Narmer palette. (image, once again, from Wikipedia)

So where is this "angry catfish"?

It's not the Egyptian name for the electric catfish.

It's... Narmer. It's Narmer himself.

Narmer's name is written as above (detail of top middle of the palette), using the catfish (n`r) and the chisel (mr), giving N'r-mr. The chisel is associated with pain, so this reads as "painful catfish", "striking catfish", or, yes, "angry catfish" or other similar variants, although some authors have suggested that it means "Beloved of [the catfish god] Nar".

So.

Where does this leave us?

It would appear that this redditor not only confused electric eels with electric catfish, but also confused a Pharaoh's name with the name of a fish. And then it got pushed to the top search hits by a crappy search engine and shared uncritically on tumblr.

In short, "the electric eel is called angry catfish" factoid actually literacy error. Angry Catfish, who ruled upper Egypt and smote his enemies, is an outlier adn should not have been counted.

Also the Arabic name for the electric catfish is raad (thunder) or raada (thunderer).

I'd call this net zero information except I learned quite a lot. Except what an electric eel was called before electricity was discovered.

I already posted this in previous reblogs, but here it is again! In Tupi the electric eel is called puraké, poraké, poroquê, poraquê, puraquê, or simply purá. Puraké also means deception or disguise. In Yanomami the electric eel is õrãmisiwë, shenini, or yahetipa. Sometimes the metaphor wakë rë yëre ha is used to refer to it (“the place where fire burns”). And there are others, certainly.

Order's Received | ZZZ | Victoria Housekeeping Co. + Reader | Prologue

Vision seemed to blur like static from a television. Breathing was ragged, filled with phlegm and blood. The static was everywhere, slowly creeping into her ears, into her chest, into her limbs. Fists clench tightly around the bronze needles she ran with. All that’s left around her was Ethereal bodies and the leaking of her own blood. Her vision was fading, soon she would become like the things she killed. She has come to terms with this outcome a long time ago, knowing this was inevitable. Closing her eyes, she gives her last breaths.

AAAAAA this made me think of the end of the last major quest and now im all excited for zzz again.

And to be under the care of Victoria Housekeeping?!

why did they make this man so conventionally attractive? why would you do this to me?

I looked for yandere fics of him when it came out and no one would do it :(

Like pls just give me a yandere white blood cell that is obsessed with me and protecting and killing off anything to harm my body and maybe some black magic in there too to invade my dreams by hacking my brain idk ✨

Rina holding us down and forcing us to eat her cooking only to nurse us back to health. Ahhh to nestle my nauseous head in her big ghost bosom. 🫰😩🫴

Using you guys as notes.

Another squid games idea is that you’re the social experiment. The guards are ordered to treat you differently, it’s like an angel’s watching over you with luck.

All to see what everyone will do.

Some people cling to you. Others despise you. You’re losing your mind.

Idk maybe front man is yandere, the whole corporation could be honestly. They’re all fucked idk I don’t make the rules.

Blushing, twirling my hair, kicking my feet!!!!!

He called me darling X333333

Imagine trying to be a feminist/progressive thing in the Wild West and things are progressing really well but you have this stalker outlaw who loves to mess with you.

And you hit him with the “Times have changed, darling.” Because he calls you that all the time and you think you’ve got the jump on him with new laws and safety for the people.

But he bides his time until you think you’ve finally achieved what you wanted and then RUINS it and the whole town goes to shit because now it’s a hub for crime and revenge and no one is safe.

And you’re crying and shouting and tied up like a pig on a spit as you say how this is illegal and wrong and he just can’t do this.

Then he puts one leg up and lunges over to huskily laugh and bite at your ear, “Times have changed, darling.”

Uewaaahh 🥵

Good times.

Yandere: Squid Games Satoru Gojo

I'm trying to get a fic done by valentines day but i'm worried i won't have it in time :(

just some bedtime thoughts. I have a lot more but i am e x h a u s t e d. might do other characters and games, or more 'Toru!

murder, killing, groping, red light green light

.

For so long now, Satoru has been harassing you. He's sabotaged your work, your friendships, your incomes, all so you'd be forced to fall into him and accept his kindness. It almost works, too, you almost find yourself begging for him to make it all stop, to help you.

Is male reader ok to request?

abso-fuckin-lutely.

i have a male reader x ayato in the works but it was on my laptop and god hates me so-

KIDDING GOD PLS DONT SMITE

I especially love bl but fem char. is cool and fem x fem is too yummy too.

Futanari as well... MFF. I have many ideas of reader waking up with a cock and their yandere finding out and knowing exactly how to please them and teaching them what to do when horny - use their mouth-

or someone like Yelan or Vi (Arcane) who is a futa and just breaks you.

Do you have any rules that we should be aware of? Like things you don't want to write.

i really should add this in the thingy at the top...

Nope! Apart from the obvious like children or something. Ew. I probably wouldn't write about anyone willingly getting shit on, even though I've done piss lol.

I also prefer xreaders. Idm multiple partners but i feel sad if reader is left out :(

hmmmm i can't think of anything else rn!

So, I'm getting around to doing Amphoreus and... we're at the bath house... and there is a special bath house for heroes.... can you imagine being taken in there without anyone else knowing just to be banged senselessly?

With Mydei and Phainon x Reader

girl we on the same wave length. I just added a bit to something i had going but didn't like it enough for the story i wanted lol.

non-con, helplessness, a bit of choking, bathhouse, ambrosia, master/servant dynamicish

Translations off google so (I went the Ancient Greek route)... Dominus - Master. He philtatē - dearest love. (feminine).

.

Amphoreus is full of many heroes, and though they are all strong and worthy of their titles, there are some that put true unease in others.

Like Mydei. Even with Phainon right next to him, trying to lighten the mood in the room, people still fear his sharp looks and dominating muscles. Everyone has seen what these two heroes can do, and no one wants to be on the wrong side of them.

Not to mention how protective they are of each other. Back and forth arguments seem like nothing when their anger is truly displayed, especially at people who speak ill of their partner.

Excited for l&ds Caleb? Dood STINKS of yandere hhh

i REALLY need to catch up with this game like it got to obey stages where i'd just log on for events and that's it ;-;

with caleb coming out though i think i might fall into it again. i will also need to update my fanfic idea of these guys in a somewhat diabolik lovers setting lol.

Degrees of Lewdity mentioned!! I get why you got a bit confused, the world is kinda open ended without much advice of what to do. On my first playthrough I got kidnapped and lived with a hot hunter man.

But at the same time, because there's so much to do, it can be pretty fun! My best advice is to go to school to build your stats initially, and figure things out from there.

This kinda goes without saying, but DoL can be quite the extreme game. There's no shame in tailoring your game in the settings so you can play the way you want to play. You can even turn down the rent money a bit so you have more time to figure out how to make money!

I've basically got all monsters turned off because they're annoying and I'm not into it lol.

ohhh okay thank you! i will certainly try that. I do remember working in a cafe now that I am thinking harder about it. i will be trying again at some point when i have the time.

*cough* Amphoreus comes out tomorrow soooo *cough*

But i did really enjoy what i played so any tips and suggestions are welcome from anyway! This kind of thing really helps lol

Yandere Feitan - What it Means.

Feitan time cause I never do Hunter x Hunter. More Slice of Lifey for the shortstack wifey.

torture, noncon, slice of life, wax play, tickle torture, humiliation, gn reader

.Feitan has no idea about his feelings when you come into his life. He thinks it's a good idea to swat you like the annoying insect you are.

More often than not you're happy, always excited when you see him and the troupe, none the wiser to the threat they possess. Some of the members joke about how easy it would be to take advantage of you since you'd more than likely do half the work for them.

It's not until his mind starts drifting to you during quiet moments does he even consider you're worth something. Perhaps a new body to try new techniques? With the orders put in place by Chrollo, time hasn't been gracious enough to let him indulge in his artistic side.
