Goddammit. Why couldn’t I have read this when the last thing I watched was Magi-Nation???

If you fell into a tunnel through the center of the Earth, it would take you 42 minutes to complete the trip to the other side of the planet. You would reach a maximum speed of over17,500 MPH at the center of the Earth. – WTF Fun Facts
Source: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/would-you-fall-all-the-wa/
You’d also stop in the middle eventually because there would be the equivalent of no gravity.
actually, you’d pop out on the other side in china or australia
Only if your were in a perfectly frictionless world, otherwise some of the potential energy gained during freefall toward the center is going to bleed off in the form of heat leaving you with less energy than you need to make it out the other side. Terminal velocity is another factor to think about, might not even be able to get enough oomph stored up regardless of friction or not.
Precisely. In theory, the gravity would be pulling from around you, toward the walls of the tunnel.
Human terminal velocity is about 120 mph, which wouldnt be nearly enough for you to spit out on the other side.
You're a great person, you add a lot to the world, and something you said today made me actually chuckle outloud. So... hope you're proud of yourself, you deserve to be for the person you are
Well this is wildly unexpected! I don’t talk a whole lot on here but it’s nice to hear that I’ve made someone laugh!!
*emerges from pit in the ground* *hacking and coughing* H-hewwo? What’s goin’ on!!?!? How wong have i been aseep?
I just thought
are kids with inground pools still calling themselves feral on here
I've been hearing a lot of "oh if you grew up in the suburbs you can't be feral" and I think that's ludicrous. Feral is when a previously domesticated animal goes wild. It's not about your upbringing or your posessions, it's about a conscious decision to just go buck wild, something that we all can achieve, a dream every one of us domesticated creatures can hold onto. We can all be feral, if we are only bold enough to reach for it.
you fucking idiot "feral is when a previously undomesticated animal goes wild" no its not. a feral animal is one that has never been domesticated, you were born domesticated and as you rage against the system you only show how tight your leash is. you couldnt comprehend the wild purity of a feral dog's mind because youve never been free
Except a feral animal is not one that’s never been domesticated. That’s just a wild animal. Domesticated animals can be feral, hence feral cats.
I get and agree with your point but calling someone a fucking idiot and then saying something incorrect makes you look bad.
It’s easy to search the definition of feral and find that you’re wrong.
The concept of space aliens being unlike anything ever seen by humans doesn't make sense to me. Yes, there's bound to be some pretty weird critters, but we've sorta seen it all. In my mind, it's near impossible for a space thing to not even slightly resemble things we've seen.
Bizarre tentacle monsters? Our ocean is full of them! Giant single celled organisms? Slime mold exists. Matter that's exactly like our matter but will destroy us if we touch it? We have a name for that: antimatter. Friendly little companion creature that loves interacting with beings? There's a reason why we call similar things doggos.
If we haven't encountered it, we've imagined it. Fire breathing reptiles, death ray technology, creatures made of stone, and teleportation are concepts familiar to the human race.
I can imagine a shapeshifting alien being all like, "My true form is too strange...blah blah blah...melt your mind.", and when humans actually see this true form they're like "Hey, that looks like x".
In short, no matter how unusual a space thing is, humans will always have something to compare it to.
Sorry, can’t agree. This universe is so vast, so inconceivably vast. If there’s nothing in this universe that it’s beyond my comprehension, then this life truly is pointless and I’m better off dead.
Our understanding of the universe is so minuscule! We think we know so much because we know a lot more than we did, but the amount of this universe we can’t comprehend is unfathomable.
There are probably planets that sustain life out there that are almost completely made up of elements we know nothing about, and the gravity, and fellow fauna and flora, and atmosphere and everything, it can shape things beyond our comprehension.
Creatures with a genetic makeup that is just loss different than our own, and the environment it exists in has led it to evolve far beyond what we could have expected!
But maybe you are right. I’ll be mighty disappointed if you are though. I want something new.
During this troubling event, we’ve been allowed to see truly how companies treat their employees. Some companies are doing very well, caring for the people who’ve worked hard for them. And others, such as GameStop, have not.
One company that seems as though they are getting away with this way too much is GameXChange. GameXChange (GXC), who has been disloyal to their employees before all of this, is more than happy to let their employees expose themselves to the infected public solely so that they can continue making a decent profit.
The store that I work at was allowed two days as a curbside only store before the company could work it any way the could to justify being fully open.
One store literally has all but two people sick and they must remain open, even to the point of getting an employee from another store to work so that one of the two employees could have a day off.
One of my coworkers, who I also live with, is immunocompromised, and if I get sick, or if our other roommate who works there gets sick, he could also get sick and potentially die.
We were okay with being curbside only because it was helping keep both employees and customers safe but it wasn’t making the company enough profit.
I throughly urge anyone who reads this to reblog it or share it or something. I’m tired of this company using us as their stepping stones. They need to stop treating their employees as expendable, or else they will truly just be as bad, if not worse, than GameStop.
Everyone who hates LOTR talks about Tolkien like he single-handedly promoted straight white male-dominated fantasy genre and we have to Row Row Fight The Power to “fix” his mistake and meanwhile every LOTR fan I know has some of the hottest takes about the power of friendship, the horrors of war, how empowering Eowyn’s “I AM NO MAN” moment was and how Gollum calling Sam a “fat, stupid hobbit” was accidentally the equivalent of calling him a himbo.
tolkien was a horrible antisemitic racist piece of shit and i love lotr but i won’t ignore its faults and i’m glad that pos is burning in hell
And then there is this person.
What the fuck are they talking about.
I think they think the Dwarves are anti semetic because… his showing the scattered people (that he outright stated were comparable to the Jewish people) as having been unjustly exiled from their home and then returning to rightly reclaim and rebuild it is somehow bad in the minds of some folks.
They think the orcs are black stereotypes which…really says more about them than tolkien since he never once mentions them as african, at worst he compares them to the worst excess of the Mongols…y’know the foreign invaders who slaughtered large swathes of everyone east of Vienna.
Also they are assmad that the white British guy essentially wrote a hero myth for his homeland which had been repeatedly invaded and culturally scorched until we’d lost a lot of our original mythos..and those heroes were white because thats what the vast majority of Brits at the time were….hey remind me, what skin colour were the people who failed the middle earth the most?
Isildor, White.
Saruman, White.
Boromir (okay not failure but minor fuck up), White .
Denethor (Father of the Age), White.
Frodo, White.
Smeagol, White.
Its not as if racism was constantly shown in world as being a negative trait and a weakness or vice.
Oh and he straight up told the Nazis to go fuck themselves as a matter of historical record when they asked for his ancestry.
100% better.
Player Piano or GET THE FUCK OUT
Anyone who thinks this just isn’t looking hard enough in current music. There’s still amazing music being made today. You folk just don’t know where to look. Or how.
You expect it to be spoon fed to you.
It’s beyond my ability of understanding on how someone can so easily fall out of love. I know people have switches and they can be struck but it is baffling that after three years of truly loving one another, they could just decide that you’re not worth any effort at all anymore.
I suppose I’m to blame though. I broke up with her, I suggested she try to broaden her horizons but I didn’t think she’d immediately meet a guy and just stop loving me. Like, I know newness is a tremendous factor, but it’s like it erased 3 years of what we had. The movies we had watched. The family gatherings, the haunted houses, the corn mazes and fairs. It’s like none of that means anything anymore because someone new is there for her to give her attention to.
And I know I’m not making it easier. I’m having a mental breakdown. Crying in the couch with my roommate who doesn’t know how to help because she can’t. And I want to tell her the worst of the thoughts that come into my mind but if that’s what it takes for her to act like she cares, then it’s not worth it. I don’t want to have to manipulate someone into caring about me. But I also want to tell someone. Because the person I would’ve told is the person I’m crazy in love with and she doesn’t love me anymore.
And I know she’ll probably see this. And I know I’m to blame for everything. And I know you’re just trying to be happy but you were the one who always said that you wanted to be happy with me. And you didn’t give me a chance to redeem myself. You met someone better. Someone new. Someone who will send you memes constantly and someone who might actually have a decent future and you realized you didn’t need me anymore.
I wanted you to grow. I wanted you to meet people and socialize and live your life but I didn’t think that would mean you would stop loving me. And then you act like you don’t understand why I’m acting this way.
My entire future was based around you. Everything I planned for my future, I saw you there, and it felt as if it had a purpose. And now life feels purposeless. Empty and void. I’m sorry I’m this way. But you won’t understand. Because you’re still loved. And I am totally and utterly abandoned of it.
I really hope I can find purpose outside of you. But you were so amazing I’m not sure I will. I’m not sure I want to.
Writing about a child rapist did not make Vladimir Nabokov a child rapist.
Writing about an authoritarian theocracy did not make Margaret Atwood an authoritarian theocrat.
Writing about adultery did not make Leo Tolstoy an adulterer.
Writing about a ghost did not make Toni Morrison a ghost.
Writing about a murderer did not make Fyodor Dostoevsky a murderer.
Writing about a teenage addict did not make Isabel Allende a teenage addict.
Writing about dragons and ice zombies did not make George R.R. Martin either of those things.
Writing about rich heiresses, socially awkward bachelors, and cougar widows did not make Jane Austen any of those things.
Writing about people who can control earthquakes did not make N.K. Jemisin able to control earthquakes.
Writing about your favorite characters and/or ships in situations that you choose does not make you a bad person.
It’s a shame that in this day and age these things need to be said.
Or, in short: the narrator =/ the author.
You know what else is a shame? This nowadays tendency of putting on the author the responsibility of teaching their readers morality.
Authors are allowed to write morally ambiguous characters.
Authors are allowed to write downright despicable characters - and guess what they are even allowed to make despicable characters charismatic and likeble and the protagonists of their stories if they wish - because absolute monsters exist only under the bed.
It is not up to the author to spoonfeed the readers about morality and Yes I know this character did a bad thing and I am going going to show it in the story and make other characters call them out of it and– Bullshit.
The authors should be able to write what they want without having thousands of people jumping and their throats claiming to know them, their ideas and their morality based on what they write.
It’s not up to the author to teach you about what is right and what is wrong.
It’s not up to the author to teach you about what is right and what is wrong.
Too goddamn true.

On poverty and pronunciation in academia
Oh.
Why I never mock or even bring attention to mispronunciation in a conversation, and will snap down anyone who tries to
Besides poverty, for many peoplevEnglish is a second (or third+) language and has weird rules too. Most of the time, even when words are mispronounced, they’re still understandable if you make an effort. Just be patient and don’t look down on people who mispronounce!
That piled on top of having a speech impediment, I’m very defensive when someone corrects me even though I want to learn how it’s pronounced, many times people’s corrections come off as mocking or condescending. Which makes me very defensive which I do not care for and greatly despise in myself.
Haven't posted on here in too long. I've been drawing a lot but I'm also a responsible adult now too and have been managing a store.
My goal is to get a tattoo apprenticeship and eventually start doing that. I also have considered doing commissions but I'm not sure I'm good enough or reliable enough to do that yet. We'll see.
This was just something I wound up drawing. Hope people enjoy!
The Black Cauldron (1985) dir. Richard Rich and Ted Berman
His eyes flickered back and forth beneath the clenched eyelids. And then sprung open. Sweat clung to his cold vessel, his heart sounded like the beat of horses hooves on the cold hard ground in his ears. He threw his blanket off him and stood up, his sweat pants twisted from him laying, and occasionally thrashing, in bed. He threw on a shirt, and went to the kitchen.
3:11
He sighed and got a glass of water, he drank all of it, and filled it up again, drinking all of that too. He set down the glass and approached the front door. As he arrived he felt with his feet in the dark for his shoes. Upon finding them, he slipped them on, and he exited his house.
It was dark and bone shakingly silent. He walked forward, ignoring the dark moonless wall that towered before him. He pushed pst the veil and entered the black void. He had somewhere to be.
He knew everything around his house, but he was not around his house. He was much farther away at this point. He was too deep under. Or perhaps to high up. So far away, his stomach twisted trying to figure out which was he faced. He shook it off, and continued further. His shoes padded on the hard ground all the way until this step, where the sound of wet viscera being crushed underfoot sounded up, and his body tightened and gnarled itself at the sound. He stepped back, and it happened again, he felt it, even worse. The feeling of stepping upon thick sludge, and it making way for his foot, and working around it as he pushed down further, until the black sludge wrapped itself wholly around his foot, and he was stuck. He was not. It simply felt that way.
He began running, out of panic and shock and fear. He ran forward, or upward, whichever way he faced, until he made contact with a wall of oozing slime, which pulsated and hummed, and his body stuck to it. He pushed and peeled himself from it, and could see, from some faint ambience, the glistening of the slime that danced in the abyss.
This was what he had to find, he knew. He put his hand out, and touched the being before him.
"Why have you sought out God...?" The being bellowed.
