NASA has a huge history of nerdy names with mythological references, allegedly rituals too

Most people doing the science there are likely on the spectrum, so I wouldn’t expect anything less

One of the rockets sprays water at the sun.
This is to see what would happen, but is also an attempt at extinguishing the sun.

Didn’t Cyclops convince a Sentinel to do something similar?

Wouldn’t they hit the moon instead?

Yea extinguish that mf. Dude causes way too much light pollution already

The moon is super important because it shines during the night when it’s dark, while the sun is only ever in the sky during the day when it’s bright outside, so it’s much less important.

Apep… I mean… I get why they’d want to extinguish the sun, I can’t imagine they had a good time in grade school with a name like “Apep…”

Ya know what happened to Apep(the deity)?
He got his fucking ass kicked by Ra. Hell, if I remember right, he also gets his ass kicked by Horus at least once.
Basically, don’t fuck with the sun. It’s got hands. And a beak.

I thought these were Whitecloaks from WoT at first and then my dumbass was like “no, Whitecloaks have golden sunbursts on the chest of their uniforms, not red. Wait, what about The Hand Of the Light? No, that’s crimson shepherd’s crooks, not sunbursts”
That continued for a while before I noticed their fucking guns

That looks kinda like the guy who played Ragnar in “Vikings.”
(cautiously checks for weird features like too many fingers, armor features that make nonsense, or other visual anomalies before cautiously asking…)
What’s this from?
It looks pretty rad.

Watching the two on the left go from hardnosed atheist commandos to saying “Praise Sol” with conviction, what a wild fucking trip of a show.

Doesnt he get his ass kicked by Ra nightly as Ra travels through the underworld every night?
Rose_Thorne@lemmy.zip 22 hours ago
I’m fairly certain you’re right, I just can’t remember if it was that exact attempt at fucking with the Sun that started that, or if that was another time.
Because Ra has nothing but burning hatred for Apep, and it was well damned earned. Snake refuses to learn the lesson.

the Romans knew the sun as Sol Invictus, or “The Unconquerable Sun”. Ever hear the story about the man who conquered the sun?
Me either
