One of the most annoying genres of people on the internet are people who act like they believe science is one single monolithic thing. Like, you'll see an article saying something like "scientists studying the movement of tectonic plates", and then in the comments there'll be several smug people saying "smh why are scientists doing this instead of finding a cure for cancer", like. Why would a geologist be doing that.

I feel like not enough people realize that people under enormous strain act really really fucking Weird

I feel like if humans swallowed rocks like birds do to help grind up food we'd have so much fun with it.

Can just imagine all the girlies on tiktok going "I know this is a bit controversial but I honestly love using limestone as a gastrolith. Not only can you readily forage it but they are just so pretty when smoothed out after regurgitating them"

and then all the comments would be like " girl 😭 😭 calcite dissolves in stomach acid!! Just use quartz if you want a pretty gastrolith like 💀"

I like this site. Y’all just shotgunning counterfactual timelines

Accidentally made eye contact with some guy drinking milk straight out of the carton on the bus

This is why I still use busses even with me having a car

I once saw a super buff dude with a beard (like a stereotypical biker dude) sitting on the train happily knitting/crocheting.

IT’S GOING TO BE OKAY. THAT IS A THREAT AND A PROMISE.

Had a wild dream where rather than tolkien knockoff fantasy-adventure the primary genre of ttrpgs was "cute storybook animals living in a small town", but the levels of discourse, factionalism, and toxicity in the playerbase was the EXACT same.

The most recent drama was over the fact that the mayoral election plotline in the latest big official release included a murder mystery 2/3rds of the way through the plot. A large swath of people were VERY UPSET that death and violence had entered their cottagecore animal game, which they had been playing conflict free for decades. There apparently had't been this much drama since an edition back when the "canals and crossroads" expansion included the idea of outsiders causing a stir and coming to town

There was also apparently an OSR equivalent traditionalist faction referred to as "The pie guys", because they wanted to refocus on the older edition of the game that was primarily about gathering berries and baking pies out of them to get them judged at the county fair.

After that the dream sort of dissolved as my brain tried to improvise the statistics of 80+ verities of berry and build a coherent mechanic around crossbreeding them.

Everything I read about recovering from burnout is like “it takes months or even years to fully recover” and it’s like okay…. I have a weekend before I gotta clock in on Monday

“Haha remember when murder-hornets were gonna be a thing? What a nothingburger.”

Yes, because the Washington state government activated like a sleeper-cell and ruthlessly, systematically hunted them down and annihilated them.

“Y2K came to nothing amirite?”

Yes because an army of software engineers working around the clock, losing sleep, and busting ass till the last minute prevented it from happening.

“Remember the hole in the ozone layer?”

You mean the one that was fixed through rigorous world wide government action?

One of the root problems of our society is a refusal or inability by media to articulate that all those “it’s gonna be an apocalypse” disasters were not disasters because we collectively did something about them.

The good news is this is actually quite correctable. I maintain my firm belief that we as humans are capable of solving almost all of our problems, when we decide to do so.

And I still think that’s going to happen. I don’t know when or how, but I do know that abandoning hope won’t help bring it about.

And I refuse to let the cynics own a chunk of my heart.
