Fuck you I know what I saw

Guys I don't want to start shit and I know nobody will believe me

I swear to God I'm not making this up

But I watched the pot and it fucking boiled

Yeah this is a good point. There's plenty of things that will break like YouTube links and Google searches, but it literally only takes 5 seconds to test it to see if the link still works. Most of the time it will

Okay it's literally been an hour but at least they opened the door

Can you imagine spending 9 days in a little space ship, falling back to earth, and then having to wait half an hour before they open the door and let you out

I mean obviously things could have gone wrong and I bet they're thankful they're safe, but damn I bet they want out of that little tin can

We need more unhinged marketing

This is insane

A photograph of the dark side of the moon eclipsing the sun. A large soft halo is formed around the moon from the light of the sun behind it. Stars are visible around the moon.

Look at this absolutely gorgeous picture of the moon eclipsing the sun from Artemis

rocket launches with people in them are nuts

What do you mean the people are just in the little tiny dot at the top

And most of the rocket is just fuel

And then you see how big the blast is

We got the best scientists to essentially strap a few brave souls to the top of a bomb, and you can tell

Fuck

I gotta say I really thought this tweet was gold when I posted it

Like new pinned tweet worthy post

I thought this was going to pop the fuck off

You don't remember this, but before you are born into this world from The Ether, your soul had to make the choice about whether you'd like sour things or spicy things.

Whichever one you didn't choose would kill you

Not sure if this counts I haven't had an organ removed but I got a root canal and they removed the tooth pulp (??)

Pink pulp

You make it sound bad but now baby smell good me want to protect baby

Obviously there must be evolutionary pressure and hormones that cause this but it's absolutely wild how much I love our baby

Objectively she's a potato that cries and poops

But I would happily spend an eternity cuddling with her

I never even cared about babies before

How does that happen

I don't think anybody else finds this funny but I love getting idioms wrong

My go-to is "I'm so hungry I could ride a horse"

It's lovely to have some media that gives us hope and something to aspire to.

Maybe bad things can just happen randomly, but through the collective effort and sacrifice of people, and with the help of new tech, science, and maybe aliens, we can make our bad situations better

You have to go out of your way to make sci-fi the *solution* to the problem. New technology is scary. And to be fair we see it go wrong a lot in our actual lives (looking at you tech bros)

But science and technology also help us. We have Wikipedia, and cancer treatments.

Project Hail Mary is important because we don't have enough hopeful sci-fi

it's so hard to do because plot *requires* bad things to happen and the default is for the sci-fi thing to be what goes wrong. Aliens kill everyone, robots take over, the miracle cure has consequences, etc

A photo of the landing site on the moon of Apollo 15, featuring moon dirt, lots of aluminum foil looking debris, some astronaut footprints, and a small white feather

Apollo 15 did a demonstration on the moon where they dropped a hammer and a feather at the same time to show that without air resistance they both fall at the same speed

They didn't pick up the feather afterwards

Now for the rest of time there will be a piece of a dinosaur sitting on the moon

Definitely

Probably best case scenario for adapting a book to a movie. All of our complaints were nitpicks and "man I wish they made it longer to fit more cool book stuff in"

Some of the infrared astrophage stuff is absolutely gorgeous

I would die for rocky

Guys I don't want to over hype it but the Project Hail Mary movie is so good

Amaze amaze amaze

I guess I think it should be something like HIPAA laws for health data, but more generally for any company storing data that could screw up somebody's life if it got leaked

Yeah I think there should be tiers of penalties based on how critical the data is. Passwords, credit cards, and social security numbers are the worst

Anybody who wants to store those in their systems should do so securely and not cheap out

Either don't store that data, or jail if it gets leaked

People should go to jail for this

I want you to know I spent a long time brainstorming a joke response to this, but I can't think of anything

The best I got is something involving using Edge as an innuendo and tying that to conceiving.. but I'm too baby brained to figure out a way to make it work

Every era of my life has been marked by the changing of my web browser
