Exploring strange new worlds

Scientist, Enby, lvl 30. I like astronomy, nature and optimistic scifi. Using tumblr to become more positive.

"I can't believe humans would hunt the thylacine to extinction, humans are fundamentally evil" Hey, did you know that extinction was long thought to be impossible, and within 50 years of humans realizing that extinction via overhunting was a possibility it practically stopped happening? Did you know that humans are so desperate to prevent more losses that they're funneling millions of collective hours and billions of euros into helping other species? Hours and euros that could be spent on humans, and species on whom humanity's own survival does not depend? Did you know that due to an accidental introduction of rats, the Lord Howe Island stick insect population was brought down to 24 individuals and now there are tens of thousands of them?

This bug. This bug that, to most humans, is utterly useless, relatively gross, and completely foreign. Humans saved it because humans do not want to cause another extinction ever again if they can avoid it.

Inspired by a conversation on discord.

Friends who *haven’t* watched Stargate, pick a bonkers bit of lore with minimal context

Daniel’s parents died in a tragic Wile E Coyote style museum display accident

Most powerful villains in SG1 were defeated with an Atheism Ray

Jack had a telepathic connection with a barber for 7 years. never mentioned it.

Because of time travel Hammond secretly knows *everything* ahead of time in S1

McKay and Bill Nye the Science Guy know and dislike each other

SGA is really just the universe’s most convoluted shopping trip for AA batteries

The gate can literally be dialed manually like a rotary telephone

Advanced aliens need SG1 so they can think up *dumber* solutions to problems

The writers used “evil legos” as a villain concept *twice*

Merlin is real and he used to be an energy squid

An even sillier and lower budget version of the show exists in-universe

I have watched Stargate/show results

Voting ended onJun 25

These aren’t even the most wild parts of the lore they’re just what I thought of first

I appreciate the scraps on the ground and everything. It shows that they dont just get these things first try. Its a symbol of the effort that went into it all.

I’m gonna propose “I guess you haven’t read the silmarillion then :/” as a default response to anyone not understanding a reference to something obscure. even if it’s not remotely Tolkien related. I want to build up a perception that perhaps the sum total of human knowledge is contained in the silmarillion

*Mutual reblogs something you posted*

Me: They still like me. Thank God.

[kazoosandfannypacks]

reblog this post to let the mutual you reblogged this from know that you still like them

[charlesoberonn]

It's very clear that Andrew Tate and other "redpill" influencers of his ilk didn't understand The Matrix (or maybe didn't even watch it) it they think that escaping the Matrix means living a life of luxury and fame. They got it exactly backwards.

Escaping the Matrix in the movie means living a life of hardship and discomfort. But it's a life that is full of genuine experiences and connections that aren't designed to exploit you.

To hammer the point even more, the motivation of the traitor character is to live a life of luxury and fame inside the Matrix, not caring that it's fake.

I think a lot of those people see escaping the Matrix as "you get to warp reality as you see fit and have superpowers." They see privilege as the reward for their efforts of understanding the systems in control of our world.

They forget that it means knowing your body is still in the real world, fighting against the cold and metal that want you dead for as long as you live outside of their jurisdiction.

They don't want to escape the Matrix. They just want to rule the Matrix. They want to be Agent Smith and think they're Neo.

It should be a rule of Tumblr to always reblog none pizza with left beef
