Google seems to think Kiriko is trans
the most down bad ive ever seen anyone on the internet was when the half life vr wayneradio series was coming out and people were slobbering over this
EXACTLY.
the moon is insane. like. there’s just a rock up there.
The coolest thing about the moon is that it's not just a rock. It's Earth. It's a piece of the Earth. Yes, literally. Long science rambling under the readmore.
Like, we figured out that because of how planets and moons form, they'd get different isotype ratios based on where in the solar system they formed. So we were excited to do some core samples when we went to the moon, as we could figure out if the moon formed closer or farther from the sun and got captured into a moon, or if it formed near us and has always been a moon.
The answer? Neither! It's the same as the earth. You'd think that would mean it formed near the earth, but no. It's literally THE SAME. The moon is a big chunk of the earth that somehow ended up in the damn sky.
That is weird and unexpected.
So the scientists start trying to build models to figure out how a chunk of the planet could end up in the sky and the answer that makes the most amount of sense is this:
At some point, the earth got hit by something approximately the size of FUCKING MARS. This impact caused chunks of molten earth to be flung out into orbit, which slowly coalesced into the moon. The thing that hit us? It either bounced off into deep space, or it merged in with the earth.
OK, makes sense. Wild, but makes sense.
EXCEPT this theory still has problems that we haven't been able to fix, and remember: it's the best one we have.
Problem 1: getting hit by something that big should have melted the planet. We know the earth was molten early in its formation, but the timing doesn't seem to work out for the moon-creating impact to have been during that time. So this would have caused the planet to melt a second time. And we're pretty sure that didn't happen, because the earth still has a bunch of heavy metals in the crust that should have all ended up in the core if we'd been molten twice. So... What?
Problem 2: the question is not "why do we have a moon", but "why do we only have one?"
Because here's the thing: we can do these simulations to figure out how big the rock that hit us was, what angle it came in at, how fast it was moving, all that crap. And in 99.8% of simulations where we get a moon, we don't just get one. We get two.
There's certain symmetries in how the molten chunks of rock would reform into a solid object, so if the simulation says we'd get a moon, we usually get a second one on the opposite side of the orbit.
And yes, it is possible to get a simulation where we end up with one big one, but it's super rare. And you never want to bet on super rare probabilities. So either we are in the universe where we just happened to roll a natural 20 on "only one moon", or one of two things are true:
1. Despite how otherwise accurate our "moon created by massive impact" theory is, it's incomplete or just wrong, or even weirder...
2. We did have two moons. We somehow lost one.
How? It can't have fallen back to earth, that would have melted the planet a third time and we're still pretty sure it was only molten ONCE.
And moons aren't pool balls. If another big rock was flying through the solar system and hit Moon 2: This Time It's Personal, it wouldn't just go flying out of orbit, it would be turned into a bunch of molten rock, along with its impactor, and we'd expect to see evidence of that splattered all over the earth and remaining moon.
So what the fuck?
So at the moment, our best theory about the moon is that it's a chunk of earth that ended up in the sky because we got hit by something the size of Mars which would have melted the planet, but also couldn't have, and it ended up in orbit as one moon even though that's really unlikely.
And that's not even getting started on how weird it is as a moon! See, there's like 200 moons in our solar system. None of them are anything like the moon, with one minor exception that's so exceptional that we had to demote a planet over it:
THE MOON IS TOO DAMN BIG.
Planets just don't have moons this big! We think of it as normal, because it's ours and the first moon we learn about, but it's totally weird. It's too big. It barely orbits us! The earth and moon are really like twin planets that are orbiting a central gravitational point that's barely inside the earth.
Compare it to all the other moons in the solar system, and they're all tiny compared to the planet they're orbiting. This is because of the "clearing your orbit" effect. The gravitational influence of a planet causes any rocks nearby to get thrown out or pulled in, unless they're small enough to end up in a specific orbit which is dominated by the planet.
And that's what's happened to every planet! Except for one ex-planet, and one very weird planet we don't realize is weird because we live in it. The moon is too big. But it's time to talk about Pluto.
You know how I said the moon is too big? Charon is even more way too big, despite being smaller. It's tiny. It has a radius of only 600 km. But it's a "moon" of a planet that's only got a radius of 1200km! And that makes even less sense. They both orbit around a central point between them, the differences in their mass is so small that Charon is 12% of Pluto's mass, and this was argument #1 why Pluto needed to be demoted to a dwarf planet.
Planets just don't have moons that big. I say, standing on a planet with a moon that's TOO DAMN BIG.
Our moon is only a bit more than 1% the mass of the Earth, but that's still too big.
It's too big, it's made of the earth, it's weird that it's there at all, and if it is there, it's weird that we don't have two moons.
It makes me happy that we, as a species, have spent hundreds of thousands of years going "huh, what is the moon?" and with all our science and ACTUALLY VISITING THE DAMN THING MULTIPLE TIMES, we still have to say "dunno, it's weird."
We may know leagues and bounds more now, but every explanation brings up more questions.
There's an analysis to be made here about how cishet men don't actually want to impress women, they want to impress other men.
Men love to bring up he-man and superman as examples of unrealistic standards women have for men but those standards aren't being set by women. There was also a post I recall from a while ago where cishet men were getting confused over cishet women's preferences for fictional men, when a woman expressed that she liked Roger Radcliffe (a tall lanky softie) men were surprised because they thought women would be attracted to the absolute charicature of masculinity Gaston.
The glorification of hypermasculine characters in men's eyes is at it's root also a form of the male gaze. When the male gaze is directed at women it's a sexual fantasy. When the male gaze is directed at men it's a power fantasy.
And all that's not even to mention the fact that guys like this are so obsessed with their belief that this is what women want that they won't even listen when women say otherwise. Think about any male fitness influencer. Chances are you've seen at least one of them throw a tantrum and insist that women want ripped muscular dudes after being explicitly told that that's generally not what they want. Personally I can think of two from this month alone.
At the end of the day it was the patriarchy that planted this idea that they are only desireable if they're ripped and they have convinced themselves that it's what women want. But it's not. They're genuinely doing this to impress other mess regardless of what women think, and a lot of them don't even realize it
Bringing this back again
It’s not really about impressing other men tbh. Working out and getting “buff” or however you wanna phrase it is about self confidence and general mental health. And sure, society has created unrealistic standards… on everyone but people do just compare themself to others constantly.
I think it's very sexy when a fictional character knows they're doomed but makes the conscious choice to keep trying anyway

“using keep inventory is cheating and you’re not playing minecraft the REAL way” <- this guy cant get home by jumping into a 100 block deep ravine
Just overheard two teenaged boys at the front door of their friend’s house. One was on the phone and gently said, “Oh, did you just wake up?” And the other one yelled “OPEN UP, FUCKNUGGET!” while slamming his hand on the door. I gotta say I love the friendship dynamic
I can’t believe I forgot to mention that the guy who lived there answered the door while wrapped up in his blanket, and it was way past noon at the time, which really sold the entire interaction as a whole

fathers casually dropping the craziest lore of their lives in the middle of a conversation
My brother and I trying to piece together our dad’s life based on random info he casually brings up once and then never mentions again
When my great grandpa was on his deathbed my grandpa (his son) was with him and says his last words were “I told them they shouldn’t have hanged that woman. Well by damn they’re paying now” and no one in my family knows what the fuck that means
My grandmother was harassing me about the dangers of online dating, and my grandpa was like, “Oh fer crying out loud, leave her alone. My parents met online, she’ll be fine.” Apparenly my great grandparents were both telegraph operators who would chat over the line in between messages and fell in love and my great grandma moved halfway across the country to marry a dude she met over the telegraph.
No one alive in the family had ever heard this story until like 70+ years later when I happened to start seeing a dude from OK Cupid.
