  • Mars Organics Can’t Be Fully Explained by Geological Processes Alone, NASA Study Says | Sci.News

  • A xenonaut sits in a bar with a glass of whiskey in one hand and a cigar in another.

    A xenobiologist walks in and sits next to them.

    "What was it today? Caustic gas? Acidic rain?"

    "A fern."

    The xenobiologist raises an eyebrow surprised by the despair in their tone.

    "What's so bad about a fern?" She asked. "That's amazing evidence of convergent evolution!"

    "Not just any fern. The same fern. Alpha, gamma, delta, epsilon quadrant, all of them have the same genetic blueprint." He continued putting his cigar out in his drink.

    "That's.. amazing! Exciting news even! I mean, celebrate, live a little! You've found that the tree of life has roots!" She tried to cheer him up.

    "The common... domesticated fern, from here." He says, getting up and departing, gesturing to the ferns growing on the campus green.

    You're positively, and completely clear!"

    "Okay and now what?"

    "Well, I thought you would know, most clear one"

    (I console cheated the money in, but realistically, you ought to figure out it's a scam by the 100 caps mark)

    (Quick loading and blasting them all is completely valid IMO)

    Jump

  • This is a crazy idea, but add water to your soup. Dilute it. It'll be less salty.

  • Film Students Are Having Trouble Sitting Through Movies, Professors Say

  • Tarkovsky films are incredible but are a "watch once in your lifetime" sort of deal.

    I asked my grandmother if she had seen STALKER and she said yes, when it came out in theaters, like 40 years ago (in the USSR), and I asked if she was interested in re-watching it with her grandkids

    She said: "No. It's a very difficult film. A very difficult film. You watch it only once because you don't get the same feeling a second time"

  • Could it be?

  • It's a fun take, and Lemmy is a bit of an echo chamber, so let me enlighten you all on how that would kind of go:

    The MAGA crowd is a combination of idiocy, brain damage, and then dark tetrad people.

    They don't care if their cult leader is hypocritical, they'll defend everything he says, even if it hurts their own interests; they'll cherry pick, gaslight, and deny basic facts.

    When you see them from a point of clinical detachment, their behavior makes a kind of twisted sense. The mistake is the assumption that they're just like you, and can be reasoned with or moved using empathy. Their worldview is fundamentally different, and typically only changes via direct experience: "leopards ate my face". Sometimes not even then.

    It's downright infuriating at times because it reminds me of that antisemitism quote:

    Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.

  • Humans on average get 2 hours of battery life for every hour they charge

  • Ditto. Know such a person. They literally only sleep 4 hours a day and assume everyone else does despite massive lifelong evidence of the contrary.

    They've resorted to working night shifts to avoid going insane from boredom, they sleep from 9AM to around 12-1PM every day, and then STAY AWAKE. IT'S BEEN DECADES.

    I'm still wondering if they'll die a premature death or if this'll just pan out for them; the one thing I've noticed is their attention span got shot as they grew older, so maybe that's the trade-off
