martian jokes

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

People who don’t want to read The Martian in case the science is too complicated should be informed that it contains the lines “The best way to store the ingredients of water is to make them be water”, “It is of course dangerous to set off an explosive device on a spacecraft”, and “If I cut a hole in the wall of the hab, the air won’t stay inside any more”.

I love this fucking book

“I’ve said the words kilowatt-hours-per-sol so many times they’ve lost all meaning so I’m going to call them pirate-ninjas.

“So I need to generate nine hundred pirate-ninjas…”

there’s an entire chapter dedicated to him wondering how the cubs are doing while he’s stuck on mars, dying

[derinthescarletpescatarian]

I like the part where the guys on Earth are like “He thinks we all gave up on him, and that he’s completely alone. I wonder what he’s thinking about right now.” And he’s like “How come Aquaman can control whales?”

A Conversation About Race and Gender in Andy Weir's Artemis

Weir's new sci-fi novel goes deep on technical specs but skimps on the social nuance.

🗣 Their names are Ritu Karidhal, Anuradha TK, Nandini Harinath 🗣

I’m sorry I can’t seem to find the names of other women in the picture but these 3 women were the main ones involved in the project 💖

Looked this up and figured I’d add an article that further details this awesomeness in case anyone’s interested:

So some dude got sent to the hospital with cyanide poisoning because he was eating cherries and decided, for some fucking reason, to crack the pits open and eat the meat inside.

“I didn’t think nothin’ of it. Thought it was just a seed.” 

“Deep breath”

I SWEAR TO THE FUCKIN GODS…..

(cue 25 minutes of unintelligible yelling)

….and that is why being separated from our food’s origins and not knowing anything about botany is what is wrong with the world today goddamnit. 

[systlin]

I bet some people would eat castor beans too. Or yew. Or just fuckin’ snack on some hemlock because it’s natural, man. 

Fucking incredible. 

[systlin]

LIKE IT TAKES SOME FUCKING EFFORT TO GET A CHERRY PIT OPEN FUCKING W H Y

[arandomblackbook]

Question: Is it the same with plums? I used to do that occasionally when I ate dried and seasoned Asian plums as a kid.

[systlin]

Yes. 

Plum pits do not contain as much as cherry, but they do. 

Do not eat stone fruit pits, people. Or bitter almonds. 

They all have cyanide in them. 

[chesand]

Oh boy, apricot kernels. The amount of people I see lauding those as a “cure for cancer” is… demoralizing. I can’t find it right now but I believe there was a mother in the past few years who was taken to court for child endangerment/neglect for feeding those to her very young child as a cancer treatment.

[systlin]

I saw this horror last year, and yelled for an entire hour. 

To be fair, I bet if you die of cyanide poisoning the cancer won’t kill you. 

[dracota]

I have been wanting to use these photos for months.

The recommendation is to only eat 3 in one hour. because that is just the most filling snack and of course they will stop at three.

But then they say DON’T EAT MORE THEN 10 A DAY.

It’s not even FDA approved. “may be toxic”.

[systlin]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[beka-tiddalik]

Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

Just because it’s food for another creature doesn’t mean it’s fine for you.

Best case scenario it’s like grass which is basically neutral- it’s generally not going to kill you but there’s no nutrition for humans in it, and enough will probably make you sick.

Worst case scenario it’s something like belladonna berries which taste sweet but will kill you stone cold dead.

Same for the wrong kind of mushrooms, other berries, leaves and barks. Before consuming, CHECK. If you can’t check, don’t put it in your mouth.

[eeveedream]

Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

Just because it’s natural doesn’t mean it’s good for you.

I’ve been saying this for so long, oh my gosh.

[blasphemous-lies-and-deceit]

apple seeds have the same cyanide innards, but obviously not in such high quantities. you’d have to eat like 10 apple’s worth of seeds to feel the effect. for that matter, just swallowing a cherry pit whole isn’t going to do any harm, it’ll pass through your body before the outer layer breaks down. but deliberately cracking this stuff open and eating it isn’t the best idea

[mahigxn-deactivated20200629]

Literally cherry pits used to be used to make poison. Like, you crack the pits open, boil em for 8 hours, change the pits out for a new batch three times. Reduce the liquid and add honey and sugar. Bam.

[themartianfuckyeah]

did mark watney ghostwrite this entire thing

[narwhalsarefalling]

my favorite thing about the martian is that it takes place in the early 2040s, which makes commander lewis’s love of disco so much more ironic.

it will be like someone from 2017 being obsessed with 1930s polka and ragtime

the martian was such a good movie

[imthehomoyourmomwarnedyouabout]

If you ever get lonely just remember that the Mars rover is programmed to sing itself happy birthday every year

[themartianfuckyeah]

i feel mark watney would approve

[themartianfuckyeah]

quick reminder that andy is writing another book

I thought that whole part with my potato son explaining how JPL got started was a joke.

JPL’s beginnings can be traced to the mid-1930s, when a few Caltech students and amateur rocket enthusiasts started tinkering with rockets. After an unintended explosion occurred on campus, the group and its experiments relocated to an isolated area next to the San Gabriel Mountains, the present-day site of JPL.
