Audiobooks helped me get back into reading. It’s a different medium, but I’m still getting the story.

And now I can enjoy a good story and fold laundry or do other chores at the same time.

I fear the millennium where octopuses figure out how to not die during child rearing.

If those smart motherfuckers ever figure out how to pass on knowledge, humans might get a run for their money.

Investing is only a risk if you’re poor.

That little disclaimer your financial institution gives you that investing is risky and you may lose all your money? That only applies to the poors. When the rich and banks invest in bad businesses or loans, they can cry to the government that they’re about to lose everything and won’t Uncle Sam pretty please open up his wallet and give us a small loan of a few billion dollars.

I say let em go broke. We should have broken up the banks in 2008, fired the whole C suite of chase and all the other banks, and set up smaller banks that now know if they fuck up they’ll get dissolved. Instead we gave them a slap on the wrist and trillions of dollars to fix their own fuckup. This only taught them that they can continue to make massively risky investments with no downsides.

I would like to introduce you to the concept for kinetic energy. Force=Mass*Acceleration

A very heavy object moving at slow speeds can easily have the same energy or more as a lighter object going moderately fast.

Forklift accidents also typically involve unsecured loads rather than just a collision between two objects. The collision is often an instigating factor that causes a poorly secured loads to fall and injure either the driver or a passerby.

It’s one of those things where everyone just assumes it’s illegal and that their government wouldn’t do illegal shit.

Protip: governments only care if you follow their laws, cause what are you gonna do about it?

It’s entirely possible that there are no aliens in the “New York City” part of the universe.

Dense regions of space will have much more interactions between stellar systems and may not be stable enough for life to evolve. It could be why we haven’t seen anyone else, they’re all in their own little pockets of peace.

Well, I can’t make you undrink the koolaid.

You want to look like an idiot, be my guest.

It’s not a “so-called conspiracy” it is a conspiracy theory.

Thousands of people worked on the Apollo project. Hundreds of America’s best engineers spent a decade designing and improving the designs for equipment that would go to the moon. If it was really impossible to do it in the 60s, you don’t think some of those people would have come forward by now? And not Bert Sybrils version of “my buddy’s uncle’s friend left his son a confession tape that was destroyed in a fire” version of coming forward. I mean someone from Boeing, or Northrop, or Rocketdyne, or even JPL itself would have said something. You’re talking about keeping thousands of very smart people quiet about something that would have been obvious to them from the start, and asking them to waste a decade of their life designing things that wouldn’t work.

Apollo missions after 11 left scientific instruments on the moon like laser reflectors that let us calculate the moon’s distance from earth more accurately over time. Non-US agencies and universities have used these for lunar observations. Are independent agencies lying for the American government, or are there really reflectors on the moon. If they’re lying, why? What benefit would they gain? If there are reflectors on the moon, how did they get there?

The US government spends millions of dollars every year meticulously preserving lunar rock samples. If it was fake, why would they continue spending that money 50 years later? Why not say “all rocks gone, everyone is fired, go home” 40 years ago? For that matter, those rocks have been sent to thousands of research centers, universities, and labs around the world for analysis and testing. They’re the rarest and most valuable rocks in the world. If NASA shipped some random rock from the Arizona desert to a lab in France or Germany, don’t you think some French or German geologist would go “hold on a minute, this is just ordinary basalt!” And call their local newspaper about how nasa just scammed them and wasted their grant money?

24 astronauts have orbited the moon, and 12 of them walked on it. These are men who dedicated their lives to being the best at what they do, a good chunk of them had doctorates. Again, you’re saying that 2 dozen people wasted a decade of their life training to be the best of the best so they could go to the moon, and then just what, sat in a bunker for a week and then said they went to the moon? And not a single one of those 24 men ever said it was all bullshit? Clearly you don’t understand American history or culture if you think that’s true. We like the big slamdunk, knock out drag out, victory. If that wasn’t true, someone would have blabbed about how they wasted their life for a fake crowning achievement.

Just because you don’t understand how something works doesn’t mean it’s impossible. Go play kerbal space program or read a book on project Apollo if you want to actually understand how space travel works. Watching YouTube videos is not going to educate you.

We went to the moon.

If we hadn’t, the Soviet’s would have been screaming it from the rooftops. The soviets tracked all the Apollo missions themselves, and even had robotic missions going on at the same time as several of the manned US landings.

The Cold War was intense. You think if the US hadn’t made, the soviets would have just let it slide?

How did you hear negative chirps?

Can I learn this power?

For those of us that don’t use arbitrary made up units at all, that’s 1.35515609E+34 Planck Length x 8.477460474E+33 Planck Length x 2.555613997E+33 Plank Length.

Use real measurements. A meter is how far light travels in 1/299,792,458 of a second? Statements made by the utterly deranged.

That seems like a waste of a perfectly good shipping container.

Why don’t we just use environmentally friendly hemp ropes and locally sourced boulders?

The perfect killing machine

Idk, I feel that’s okay as long as the saves are incredibly frequent and reliable.

I’ve never lost progress in a From Software game for instance, and they have an only auto save system, but it saves literally everything you do as soon as you do it, so unless you deliberately alt-F4 instantly after doing something, you won’t lose any progress.

We must return to the ocean.

Accept the crab form, embrace it and all the limbs we shall gain.

That’s an interesting question as to whether the infinity gauntlet rounds down.

Like, if there were 3 survivors of a species and thanos snapped the universe, does the gauntlet round up to 2 survivors, or down to one?

The manhattan project originally start as a way to defeat Germany, it just wasn’t ready in time.

If I knew something that everyone could do to dramatically reduce the risk of life threatening infections, and nobody listened to me, I’d be kind of a dick too.

Double down on the studio that takes 10 years to make a game, 1 years after their last game.

They’re not the brightest

Can’t wait for my ai to hallucinate last year’s tax return
