dude seeing these Mega high quality images of the surface of mars that we now have has me fucked up. Like. Mars is a place. mars is a real actual place where one could hypothetically stand. It is a physical place in the universe. ITS JUST OUT THERE LOOKING LIKE UH IDK A REGULAR OLD DESERT WITH LOTS OF ROCKS BUT ITS A WHOLE OTHER PLANET? 

[i-homeostasis]

LIKE THIS JUST LOOKS LIKE IT COULD BE A PERSON’S BACKYARD. LIKE YEA A LITTLE DUSTY MAYBE THERE WAS A SANDSTORM BUT THAT’S COOL I’M JUST GONNA WALK DOWN TO THE STORE P S Y C H YOU’RE ON MARS BICH!

i hate to be rude and intrude on this post but we have decent pictures of the surface Venus too!

See also below Saturn’s moon, Titan. Mars has a blue horizon at sunset so it looks even more Earth-like in this image:

Also: Comet 67P/Churyumov–Gerasimenko

[ultraviolet-divergence]

So it’s not quite snowing on Churyumov–Gerasimenko, unfortunately; the white specks are artifacts of cosmic rays impinging on the CCDs in the camera, as well as a rotating starfield in the background (since the comet is spinning). A few specks could be dust. But, holy shit, that’s the surface of a comet. That’s a spot you could in theory cling to for dear life sit down on. The Cliffs of Comet 76p are a place. 

If that isn’t the neatest shit I don’t know what is.

Just realized that unlike the last couple years this hasn’t started to spread again organically, so…

The first night of Chanukah this year is sundown on Sunday, November 28, 2021. It’s not to late to reach out for your Chanukah supplies!

odin is like “when thor was born the sun shone bright upon his beautiful face. i found loki on the sidewalk outside a taco bell”

[chromalogue]

Oðinn spake:

Bright the sun shone | at the time of Þor’s birth, And bathed his count'nance fair. Loki, wolf-father, | the trickster, the liar, I found on the cold pavement While returning in glory | from a grand hunt For a 3 AM quesadilla.

My husband complained that this was more Shakespeare than Eddas, and I challenged him to do better.

Solen sken, skönt gyllene

Dagen Tor föddes

På trottoaren, vid Taco Bell

Där låg Loke

—KJN

My translation:

The sun shone, sweet golden

The day of Tor’s birth

On the tarmac, by Taco Bell

There lay Loki

(For poetry reasons, Thor needs the Swedish spelling.)

And in Danish because why not:

Solen skinnede, skøn og gylden

På dagen for Tors fødsel

På asfalten ved Taco Bell

Dér lå Loke

“LEV MERE (LIVE MAS)”

how dare you question the amazing method of farming that gives us so much food by simply killing the soil and leaving lands barren without maintaining the resources that make it work in the first place.

last year i got 1800 bushels of corn by killing the soil, as opposed to before when i only got 1200 by not killing the soil. surely i can simply keep killing more soil

[str-ngeloop]

wym there's only so much soil. that's an externality and therefore none of my concern

[triviallytrue]

Only 60 Years of Farming Left If Soil Degradation Continues

Generating three centimeters of top soil takes 1,000 years, and if current rates of degradation continue all of the world's top soil could b

[str-ngeloop]

well here's the thing, under normal circumstances without human intervention soil recovery can take a long long time. with human intervention, such as mulching, cover crops (that you then turn into mulch), seeding with beneficial fungi, etc, soil buildup can be massively boosted. we can be a positive force instead of a negative one. we just have to start doing that

[catgirl-mira]

We literally already pulled off a 10-year turnaround by getting a company to dump a lot of orange peels in an area.

Good point! here it is:

Lost amidst all the sentimental 9/11 tributes, Abu Zubaydah remains, after almost twenty years of unimaginable torture, imprisoned without charge in Guantanamo Bay. Despite having had no involvement in the attacks, the US is committed to keeping Abu Zubaydah trapped there until he simply dies - so important is it that he not be released and risk exposing the full, nightmarish extent of the rendition and torture programmes operated against him and hundreds of others. American comfort and apathy has been purchased with their blood.

[plum-soup]

Now’s a good time to remind people that because the US government offered cash rewards to people in Pakistan and Afghanistan for snitching on 9/11 plotters, several people ended up in black sites or Guantanamo simply because their neighbor wanted or needed to make a few grand and reported them for something they had literally zero connection to just to collect the reward.

btw the thing she couldn’t ignore was someone calling her out for saying anti-depressants/hormone therapy are only perscribed by lazy doctors

[teruterusky]

Update:

J.K. Rowling is apparently now filing a defamation lawsuit against someone who made fun of her for saying this, which means its time to spread this like wildfire!

Do not let adults steal this generation from you. Relish in selfies. Snapchat pictures of coffee to your friends, huddle around an iphone to watch Vines. Shamelessly love this generations commodities, like how your parents loved THEIR commodities, like disco or Hammer Pants or whatever else. Do not let angry adults take away your chance to experience the uniqueness of right now.

[xcyn0surex]

I really love this post

[astronomyproblems]

Idk if this counts as a peeve more of an art-astronomy pet peeve

but when people draw the cresent moon and where the dark, shaddowed part of the moon is they put in stars

like studdenly that part of the moon is invisible instead of just being in the shadow

like wtf

[pastelmercutio]

wait no peOPLE ACTUALLY DO THIS???

[parfaerie]

 really stupid question though but like, aren’t there stars in front of the moon??? like??? space isn’t two dimensional so someone putting a couple stars in front of the shadow wouldn’t necessarily be wrong?? because aren’t there stars all around in space and?????? im just going to be confused forever frick uvu; 

[killer-pineapples-blog]

It's been kind of a long time since I've been on here but since this is basically my only form of social media and I really want to post about this I am going to.

I got offered a new job today. The pay is fantastic and the position is also great. I'm both nervous and excited to leave Lowe's but it's overdue. I've been there for over 6 years and it has come so far from what it was in the worst way. Since covid started this company has been abusing it's store level employees and I feel like the department supervisors (like myself) get the worst of it. A douche bag asm wrote me up for literal bullshit back in July which put a full stop on my career with Lowe's. I had been applying and interviewing for asm positions before that but because of my write up I am no longer eligible. But, if it weren't for him I wouldn't have found a much better position with another company.

I have to wait to submit my notice until I get more details about starting, I really can't afford to miss a check right now. But I can't wait to move on.
