Pretty sure I had that demotivational poster saved on an old laptop. Good memories.

Pouring water from one container to another is an attribute of Temperance, a major arcana tarot card. Edit: And, of course, the Tarot depiction comes from the virtue itself. The card represents balance first and foremost, so Anakin being supposed to bring balance to the force immediately springs to mind.

I'm sure that if I wasn't as tired as I am right now, I could come up with a plausible theory for him standing in the sea. Beach/sand connection maybe? I'll leave that to someone else.

But I do believe you can eke out some sense out of this picture if you really try.

Yes it does. He is clearly trying to filter the saltwater with the Brita filter to try to make it potable so he can drink it for later.

I fucking love the quietly chaotic energy of this! 😄

Through Vader, all things are possible, so jot that down

2011 to 2022 though, and I remember this picture (and similar) popping up while I was in high school a couple+ of years prior, so that doesn't line up.

I love that the weirdness comes from a contest that originated from Castiel trying to get a People's Choice Award for Supernatural 😂

they're intended to "remove" calcium and magnesium salt ions by exchanging them with sodium ions from the ion exchange resin beads in the filter, thereby softening the water (and to most people making it taste better)

however ion exchange uses osmosis to function. you can "recharge" an ion exchange resin by putting it in a brine with a super high sodium concentration, causing the exchange to run in reverse (the sodium ions will replace the calcium and magnesium in the resin instead of the other way 'round).

so in this photo, the filter is removing salt the opposite way it normally does lol
