scientists are in labs right now creating the thinnest and worst material known to mankind so they can make women’s clothing

World's thinnest spaghetti won't please gourmands but may heal wounds

Spaghetti strands that are 200 times thinner than a human hair could be woven into bandages to help prevent infections

Technically they're using it for bandages. For now.

Quote from the article

The resulting “nanopasta” can then be spun into a tiny mat about 2 centimetres across. While it isn’t intended as food, Clancy says that it should be safe to eat, but is reticent to talk about having tried it. “It’s an ethical quandary to talk about scientific self-experimentation,” he says. “But, hypothetically, one might expect it to be chewier than you’d expect.”

[ralfmaximus]

Oh he's definitely eating it

[special-lucky-chosen-one]

scientists are in labs right now creating the thinnest and worst material known to mankind so they can surreptitiously eat it

So do we think the Nomai would go crazy with astrophage or....

[whomeidontknowthem]

for some reason in my head I've started calling you red short for [redacted] and I felt like I had to share that with you ::)

Yep that is indeed how you shorten [redacted]. Red's my favorite color btw. Great how things work out

*platform decay spoilers*

When they're waiting to board the boat and the crowd is all listening in on Murderbot telling the humans its going back to help the militia hold off the corporates

The crowd all parting to let it through and Mb thinks it must be its angry face and not the fact that everyone just heard its going off to protect them

When passengers spot it in the water and work together to pull it aboard

Random humans recognizing its heroism and working to help it

[wolvesandcomputers]

They hear its kid? say "They will kill you" they hear its wife? ask if it's "going to do the thing." It has a past the kids don't know about. It's going to protect everyone or die trying. Its going to buy its family time to get away. You know every human on that boat was relieved when it made it back aboard.

#😭😭😭😭 #murderbot #god yeah they probably DO think that's its family!!!! #and it is. to be clear. farai is about to report back to tano like 'bad news :/ i'm on ayda's side about the secunit now.' #[communist bugs bunny meme] OUR secunit #but my point is that a bystander probably sees what they think is a heavily augmented human person #someone so augmented that it MUST have been some kind of lifesaving measure rather than a choice (per artificial condition) #who has their wife(?) and their mother(?) and their THREE children(?) with them #and THAT is the person who says with total authority that it's going to protect them or die trying #of course they step aside to let it through #that's some entertainment feed quality heroism right there!

A change in appearance

[kittygameratx]

my idea for a visualization of the risk and threat assessment modules! i've been wanting to design some feed elements since they're so integral to the series, and decided to start with these two similar (and pretty wonky) modules.

my interpretation of risk assessment is that it's more related to the success percentage of a plan/generally more long-term, while threat assessment is more about the likelihood of immediate danger. so i made risk assessment more of a "throughline" that tangles when risk increases, and threat assessment more like a soundwave/heartbeat monitor that spikes when threat increases.

plus a little comic showing off these modules spiking (featuring ART and Iris)

[leftovercrisps]

This is so stupid…

Three, Amena and one of Murderbot’s drones at the beach

MB: Three, why are you wearing sunglasses? Just use your bright light filters.

Three: Query: Define cool.

MB: Fuck you, Three.

Did you really think you could control something so inevitable?

[2isted-chocol8-art]

Sometimes, when everything is bleak, all you need is someone to be goofy with

Bonus transparent version in case you want to put these two in situations:

-> More Outer Wilds Art

Feldspar immediately upon arriving home is feeling just fine. Maybe they couldn't win a fight as well as before, but overall they're fine. Cracking jokes and laughing at them, walking themself up to the museum. For about 2 hours. And then they completely crash in every way. Their body hurts so bad andthey dont think they could walk and they're twitchy and seeing stuff. And all they want to do is gorge themself and go to sleep. And wow oh mygod they really dont want to sleep alone.

[galacticconcatenation]

That would trigger punishment from the governor module.

So do we think the Nomai would go crazy with astrophage or....

that one art meme about your favorite characters but it's the outer wilds travelers (+ hornfels)

i'm not gonna extrapolate, but outer wilds arrived in my life during a really tough time. it was hard to learn how to be myself again after having to say goodbye to the last things that still made a long-gone past feel alive. how special it is that a story about mourning what could have been, what's left behind, and letting go would find its way to me at that exact moment. it somehow both coddles me and pushes me forward. there will come a time when its purpose will be served and i'll have learned to live in this new life without it as a crutch. don't know when that'll be, but i will forever be grateful to it for making me feel, somehow, that the order of things can be kind. it's my favorite game of all time, an experience unlike any other, and an ode to leaving a legacy for the future.

i just wanted to make this little thing so i have visuals and writing to look back on a few years from now! i'm glad it's out in the world. it's like a little letter to myself ::-) maybe it'll resonate with you too!
