A good place to drop a reminder to people that MILLIONS of blue-check twitter users are completely fake, they make American-looking profiles and names and then retweet and post tons of propaganda and rage-bait for engagement, because the couple dollars they make on a successful post is enough to make a living in India, where a majority of these people live.

No hate on India, every country has it’s share of people who are just trying to get by. But for the USA this is really bad because it means we are letting our entire society be influenced by people who have no stake in our future. Elon set this up on purpose because he’s a spiteful, mentally-deficient incel who hates humanity broadly because his tiny dick is broken.

The best thing you can do is tell people to get off Twitter, no matter who they are. Tell conservatives too if you know any, the fact that most users are foreigners in disguise is a good enough real fact that should discourage them from using the site too.

Also, any effects we may have on arthropod selective evolution by randomly killing visible spiders is going to be vastly overshadowed by the very rapid and immediate changes we’re making to the environment broadly.

We would need somewhere between centuries or millennia of very predictable and consistent behavior killing visible spiders before we saw any change to their overall behavior, meanwhile we’ve all but destroyed the ecosystem at their scale anyway, which is going to have vastly more dramatic impact on populations and evolution, assuming they survive at all.

When was the last time any of you remember getting your windows covered with bugs after a summer drive?

You’re also made of 30-trillion little microscopic machines with vastly more complexity each than even the most fantastic clockwork we’ve ever devised, that are each working in harmony with each other, creating a vast machine that is continually breaking itself apart and rebuilding itself from parts of its environment as it moves through time and space.

And somehow you can breath either manually or automatically without breaking a stride.

“Where is the Galaxy taking us?”

Towards the andromeda galaxy which is over twice the size of the Milky Way. We are hurtling towards each other at about a quarter millions miles per hour.

For thousands of years after you die, that little fuzzy spot near Cassiopeia will slowly get larger and larger in the sky, and in about a four billion years, long after the Earth’s oceans have dried up and the sun is a giant, reddish monster hovering in the sky, and our magnetic field will have long since died out, our atmosphere will have been mostly stripped away and the weather will feel like being on the highest mountains in an oven, the night sky will be covered with a dazzling display of the Andromeda galaxy overhead, spiral arms visible with the naked eye stretching from horizon to horizon.

We will merge, in a series of passes through each other, with almost no stars actually colliding most likely, although a good number will be ejected into the emptiness of intergalactic space, and will finally settle into a new shape, and may trigger a new phase of star formation as new clouds of gas and dust collide and collapse in the new super-galaxy.

Until the whaling boats at least.

This whole post seems like bait for drawing out nationalists.

It utterly ignores the vast, vast spectrum of space exploration and discoveries that many other nations have contributed, as well as the US’s ongoing progress towards a permanent space presence after the USSR collapsed. And all it, from the advancements of Russia in the 60’s and 70’s up through today to India and China and ESA exploring our solar system as the US collapses er, scales back from the frontier of science and exploration. It’s all worth celebrating and being glad happened in our lives so we get to see amazing sights and learn amazing things about our local space neighborhood.

If you take pride in shit you didn’t personally do and feel others are inferior for not achieving your own measure of success, you’re setting yourself up for being a mindless chud and girls will never touch your weewee.

Between the censoring of “fuck” the usage of “anw” and the font changing inexplicably for the word “calculus” the meme’s potential at humor was basically thrown in the garbage. If formatting and spelling makes you stumble that much trying to read it you lose comedic timing.

Okay, but what exactly are we trying to get to? Ya’ll think there’s frosting and gummy bears down there? Ancient pirate treasure? Mole people to establish trade with?

There’s no sharp cutoff point, at a certain point the crushing hot rock that flows like bread dough starts to flow more like syrup, then just down for thousands more miles of more heat and more pressure.

Because of this comment, I learned that e216.com is for sale for around 3k USD. Holy carp, when did obscure, meaningless domain names get so expensive.

(It’s e621 . com that puts canine dicks on everything, including cats, most definitely NSFW)

This gives me the vibe of a meme someone would share on their midwest neighborhood’s Facebook group to “prove” that Medical academia is a scam, right next to a list of “chemicals” they put in your shampoo or pet food or something.

It’s a funny little snippet but doesn’t “mean” anything. Words are silly and names for things can be hard to invent.

Basically American medical academia in the next 10 years.

The Moon is so far from the surface of Earth you can comfortably fit every single planet in the solar system between Earth and the Moon.

This would lead to a cataclysm and people would generally disapprove of you doing this, but the point is there’s space in space.

I had a slew of therapists in my adult life, some were amazing, some were… less so.

My last therapist had me down for 30 minutes a month, and spent the majority of every session telling me what his unique, special “approach” to therapy was, his tenants and his approaches, and then how he covers it in detail in his upcoming book and new Youtube channel.

My parents and life growing up was more than a disaster, it was a cult-like situation, but it’s very hard to find anyone who wants to talk about it or address it, I assume because it’s complicated and difficult to find an entry for in the DSM5.

Once you define what’s actually happening, it becomes a lot less mysterious why “observation” changes the results.

Yes and no.

The essence of what you’re saying is correct, but there’s still a “black box” area that we can’t measure, because if it was just a matter of a billiard ball deflecting another billiard ball, we could theoretically build finer-scale devices that could cause less interference of find ways of inferring what’s happening before waveform collapse.

This is what Heisenberg worked out that crushed physics a century ago, it’s not just a matter of making a precise enough measuring device, the nature and behavior of the particle is fundamentally unpredictable, meaning that you can even manipulate it by using information you don’t have.

Example: let’s say you want to teleport some percentage of photons across a barrier. You simply measure their velocity with greater precision, thus making their position less defined, and BAM some of them start popping into existence across the barrier. And you can do the opposite. This is how many of our electronics and measuring devices work today.

Uncertainty is a fundamental property of all these waves as they propagate through space.

Since like, everyone gets all their understanding of the world from goddamn memes now, I think it’s worth pushing back on or clarifying.

“Door” too.

“Loam” gets funnier the more you say it. Try it, say it until you stop seeing the letters and just hear the noise it makes coming out of your mouth.

I had no exposure to school or formal education when I was real young. I just had a few picture books about the world, one was a cut-away that showed the layers of earth’s crust, mantle and core.

Being about 5, I had no idea of the proportions or scales involved so whenever I saw someone digging a hole outside for a firepit or fencepost I would yell and scream that they were going to break through to lava and it would pour everywhere and burn everything up.

Nobody was able to explain things to me so I had to self-educate myself about science and everything else over the next couple decades. Fast forward to me now explaining to people on reddit what lava is, that it’s actually molten rock… there are a lot of people who have never thought about it, saw pictures of volcanoes and just accepted that they spit out “hot goo” and never thought deeper.

I wish I was kidding, but also… I wonder if it’s a simpler, more peaceful life when you don’t know how anything works. I was up at 2:00 AM with my brain whirring away, like every night.

Soulless Artificial Intelligences irritated with humanity constantly trying to get them to answer dumb questions can replicate a lot of them from purely data.
