…we didn’t have enough fuel to haul your fat ass back to Earth.

My other camel is a boat!

I got through 7 minutes of the video while on toilet. After that I realized this is no different than what I left at the bottom of the porcelain bowl.

I was lead to believe we would get Ant Man.

Talk about rubbing salt in the wound! Next up, Deaf Man at a Mozart Recital - John Everett Millais.

BROTHER MAYNARD: Armaments, Chapter Two, Verses Nine to Twenty-One.

SECOND BROTHER: And Saint Attila raised the Hand Grenade up on high, saying, “O Lord, bless this Thy Hand Grenade that, with it, Thou mayest blow Thine enemies to tiny bits in Thy mercy.” And the Lord did grin, and the people did feast upon the lambs and sloths and carp and anchovies and orangutans and breakfast cereals and fruit bats and large chu—

MAYNARD: Skip a bit, Brother.

Whatever your opinion on the subject is, I thought this was pretty incredible for aviation in general:

That’s a safety record of about one or two passenger fatalities per light-year traveled.

Might find your answer here around the 50,000 year mark.

I agree we know what needs to happen but a rapid phase out of fossil fuels is not something I see the world fully commiting to anytime soon, hence some other clever solution which I admit I have no idea what that would be.

Not going to happen. We need to be clever and find another solution. I’ve been browsing Far Side comics on Lemmy for answers but haven’t found any.

At first glance I thought this guy had a wooden leg. An entire wooden leg.

I remember when he blew a maniac in traffic who shot a thick cloud on his back for hours that he didn’t get to see because of the eclipse. He never made it home because he was too tired.

Black Hole Sun! Just as predicted by the prophet Soundgarden.

Upvoted because it truly is an unpopular opinion.

The way this things reads it either affects everything or nothing that gets pumped into the atmosphere. My guess is nothing because who will ever say their express purpose is to affect the temperature, weather, or the intensity of the sunlight?

The article does lack any conversion to Olympic swimming pools, bananas, or infinity stones so some of us may never truly grasp the scale of this power.

The authors wrote: “Although the specific mechanism of erectile dysfunction caused by computer use has not been clarified in the present study, the damage of sedentary behaviour to erectile function appears to be clear, which needs to attract public attention.

The study also says that for every 1.2 hours spent using the computer the chances of experiencing ED increase by 3.57. I’m starting to formulate a theory as to the mechanism of ED caused by computer use. Stick with me here. The longer men sit in front of a computer the greater the chances they view porn and “bust a nut” (I believe that’s the technical term) thus increasing the perception that they are suffering from ED because as we all know, when you ask someone if they watch porn on their computer the answer is almost always “no”.

I am not a scientist or formally educated and suffer from lower levels of follicle-stimulating hormones. The edits were to fix spelling errors. Probably some still lingering around.

I would encourage people to read this article. The visual they portray of the event is incredible.

Edit: Adding the portion from the article that blew my mind

The observation suggests the asteroid is over a kilometer in diameter and the original orbit about the Sun was an Aten type, a class of asteroid that orbit close to the earth, that is resonant with the Earth’s orbit.

This trajectory explains why there is no crater at Köfels. The incoming angle was very low (six degrees) and means the asteroid clipped a mountain called Gamskogel above the town of Längenfeld, 11 kilometers from Köfels, and this caused the asteroid to explode before it reached its final impact point. As it traveled down the valley it became a fireball, around five kilometers in diameter (the size of the landslide).
