bipch erastosthenes schooled b.o.b. 2,230 years ago

Ok so this is cool but I always wondered how they knew the shadows were different at the same instant. I mean it is not like they had phones. How did they sync up that instant. I feel like that would be interesting to know but no one ever says.

[when-it-rains-it-snows]

^^^Does anybody know this one? How, that far apart, the time at which the shadows were observed was synced up? I am genuinely curious, not a goddamn moron asking a gotcha question. High/Low tide? (I live in the middle of the country I do not know for the precise habits of tidal activity.) The appearance of a star (or planet) in the sky? Something as utterly mundane as sunrise?

[kerosenekate]

Well, first of all, it wasn’t actually pillars! Eratosthenes was told about a well in Syene that, in the summer solstice every year (June 21st) would be illuminated at the bottom entirely and without any cast shadows. This indicated that the sun was directly overhead. Going off that well known curiosity and an intelligent hunch, our dude Eratosthenes waited until high noon of the summer solstice to measure the angle of a shadow cast by a stick in Alexandria. (Sidenote: Eratosthenes was a librarian of the infamous Library of Alexandria.)

His next course of action was to hire bematists, surveyors of the time whose professional specialty was to measure distance by walking with equal length steps. They measured a distance between Alexandria and Syene of about 5000 stadia. (Guess where the word stadium comes from.) Once he had that measurement, Eratosthenes did his math-y thing, and there you have it.

ANSWER EVEN COOLER THAN I HOPED!!

[cellarspider]

Eratosthenes’ work was thorough enough that by the time he finished revising his calculations, he ended up only 66 km off of the actual polar circumference of the Earth, or an error margin of 0.16%. [wiki]

[taraljc]

I am picturing a dude handing another dude one end of a ball of twine and starting to walk and count and I know that’s not how they counted steps but in my head it is and it’s hilarious

[constant-diablerie]

any noun can become a verb if you don’t care enough

[yupokaysuremhm]

This point is invalid unless you use an example in your sentence

[constant-diablerie]

I CAN SENTENCE HOW I WANT THANK

why do these make some semblance of sense 😨

[roseverdict]

Because brains don’t brain logically

[couldbeglorious]

Brains do brain logically! But when english doesn’t logic englishly, brain brains by itself to logic that english !

[swampxwitchxhattie]

I hate that this makes sense

Was Elrond in a gay marriage? We don’t know, because it’s none of our goddamn business. … No matter what Elrond got up to, it didn’t effect his ability to perform his job like a boss. And that is to provide travelers with great directions.

[sorrynotsorrybi]

reblog if you would also like to be ruled by a well-appointed bisexual elf wizard

[rapeculturemakesmeangry]

This is from the slut walk. One of the arguments is that girls ask for rape because they wear slutty clothes, short skirts, tight, low-cut tops. This girl is an example of the fact that rape victims can look like anyone, you, me, this girl. Rapists. Dont. Discriminate.

[fuckyeahrainbowhair]

fallingfate:

I promised a long time ago that I’d reblog this whenever I saw it on my dash. No regrets, it breaks my heart every single time.

an incredibly important message, rape is rape. no one is ever asking for it. a woman has the right to dress how ever they want - it is society that identifies risque dressing as ‘asking for it’, and in my opinion, that way of thinking needs to be diminished.

[jackielanternink]

Seriously if you see this and don’t reblog it, I have NO respect for you

This will always be my favorite gifset. Ever.

[onceuponamirror]

im morally obligated to reblog this every time i see it

[carryonmywaywardcaptain]

If there comes a day when I fail to reblog this, I have certainly died.

Pardon his French, but I lost it at “all rise.”

[weirdpostarchive-deactivated201]

you know, if an adult is a nice person that’s not “innocence.” they learned how to actively be a good person. they’re not some eternal child

[weirdpostarchive-deactivated201]

also i’m gonna be real why is it that being nice in general is seen as a childish or immature trait

[spectralserval1138]

Me.

[madeofklay]

A commission I did for @spectralserval1138 of her characters Tremellia and her daughter Mikara experiencing Wintersday in Divinity’s Reach together. I am so dang pleased with this commission, and I honestly had a wonderful time doing it. I’m such a sucker for parental bonding pictures, and I love charr, so… it’s perfect! <3 

[spectralserval1138]

-holds breath-

AHHHH. <3

[nickcutler]

[because-they-dont-exist]

Fucking iconic

[skarchomp]

one of the millions of things i liked about spider-verse was that not only did all the female characters look different from each other, they gave mary jane her classic dimples and square chin, which might not seem like a big deal but you’d be surprised how much tiny details like those can make women in comic books look distinct

[skarchomp]

also seriously it feels like some animated films are pushing it to have two female characters who look even slightly different so i appreciate that spider-verse made sure every woman in it looked distinct from each other

‘I Take Issue’ project- wrote my first graphic novelette! Not something I’d normally say, but I’m super proud of this.

(please excuse the weird layout, it’s formatted for printing rather than internet)

[erebusodora-deactivated20190104]

I had to reblog this. Because it’s not only beautifully painted, its idea is something that needs to be shared, again and again, so that more people will take their bloody buckets off.

Thank you for making this.

i’m fucking CRYING

[theartof-severn]

I’m dead hahaha :,D

[isitbatman]

lol our society is so structured on binaries that people think cats are the opposite of dogs

[bogleech]

we also regard dogs as “masculine” and cats as “feminine” to the point that it’s “weird” for men to love cats, women and gay men are stereotyped as liking cats, and creepiest of all, cats are stereotyped as “sexy” animals

[problemheart]

Im 100% grossed out by this

[witch--tripper-deactivated20160]

this fits into my confusion as to why it’s perfectly acceptable to hate cats but blasphemy to hate dogs

[dammit--cas]

That last comment just fucked me up

[do-black-people-do-stuff-deacti]

Jordan Peele’s rebooting The Twilight Zone, which is awesome, but there is going to be a bunch of fake/racist sci-fi fans probably getting angry at him if he decides to do episodes about social issues specifically about race.

And let me just tell you as a HUGE Twilight Zone fan, the original show is 90% commentary on subjects like race, war, and even mental health.
