the “singularity” is the event horizon and the “event horizon” is the accretion disk. incredible picture of a black hole though, how’d you take it?

My friend just sent this in the group chat, we got the new gay or European 2026 update

A rigorous diagnostic. 15 questions. One uncomfortable truth.

I have ADHD though. But I have been masking my whole life so rules are GODAMN IMPORTANT OR THE UNIVERSE RIPS APART.

"average cat owner spends 3 years in prison" factoid actualy just statistical error. average owner spends 0 years in prison. Miette's mother, who kicked her body like the football and went to jail for One Thousand Years is an outlier adn should not have been counted

I love how every single Georg post observes the original's typo

[bananonbinary]

i like that you said "observe" instead of "preserve," implying this has religious importance.

"Based in Christ" is funny, do you think Jesus was going to Ye Olde Costco?

Americans from suburban and rurual areas are very unused to the idea of a quick trip for 1-2 things. this can be difficult to do in those areas because everyone is buying 2 weeks of stuff so checkout lines are slow and long and it's crowded since everyone else is in there getting tons of stuff too. it's really hard to get in and out of the store even if you only grab one thing because of how few other people are doing that.

I suspect it's hard for them to imagine the real experience of 'let's grab milk and some eggs and I'll make waffles' and you go in and grab milk and eggs, check out, and leave. you don't pause to buy 10 other things that occur to you because the line is long anyways I'll be here an hour and I for sure do not want to come back tomorrow.

the other thing they hear is NO CARS EVER FOR ANYONE and like that's not what a walkable city is. what it is, is you shouldn't need a car for 90% of stuff. you shouldn't need a car to get a few groceries, to get to work, to go to the doctor, to go to school. your car will be there in its parking space when you DO need it, but you shouldn't have to use it except to go somewhere outside physical or public transit range, when moving something very large and unwieldy, when your disabilities require it, etc.

And the thing is most of the US is like that right now, even its major cities. Even in places like LA or Dallas being carless is absurdly difficult. doubly so because the weather means walking long distances puts you at risk for heatstroke most of the year, but there's almost no public transit option to replace it.

and we need to do something about that. we need accessible cities where work and medical and services and residences are interwoven and you can easily and comfortably exist sans car. if they want to live out in the woods that's fine but the bulk of society really won't benefit from that model and right now it's being forced on everyone.

but instead they'd rather act like these are just unfixable problems. no you just have car always car!!!

ugh.

[fostertheory]

When we lived in Sweden we rented from someone who left behind a pullcart for groceries. At checkout, you put it into the cart and away you go! It could easily fit a handbasket's worth, maybe more.

But yeah, so much of the US' infrastructure presumes you have a car.

[sivsdotter]

Dramaten!

If you live in a city you have a bike. It's usually much faster using a bike than going by car and even if you don't have a cargo bike you can still fit two bags on the handles if you're in a hurry. Otherwise you just pack on the bags an walk. But a lot of people buy cargo bikes, electric ones. You fit kids, dog, groceries - all sorts of things in them. Fast and practical.

But then we have pavements, bike lanes, public transport... However, if you're living in the country it's a lot different. Then you buy for a week and you definitely own a car. Usually your commute takes you past a decent grocery store though so you can make purchases throughout the week.

KICK THE CAN!

Let’s play the biggest game of kick the can on the internet.

To kick the can, reblog it. I wanna see how long this can go on for.

[visibun]

the oldest reblogs for this post that i can find are from january 2nd of 2013. this can has been getting kicked around tumblr for almost 13½ years now

[drtanner]

And yet somehow this is my first time kicking it!

[sivsdotter]

I'm kicking it. Who's next?

[phmthoughts]

"The camaraderie. It helps them. Not so much me."

"It must be hard, asking everyone to do this." "It isn't, actually."

"Don't make this harder than it is."
