  Ok … but how is AccuWeather related here?

  • jqubed@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    For some reason they posted this on their social media account

      AccuWeather must have picked this trick up from radio stations on Facebook. At least in the past a lot of them would make memes and throw their logo on it, I can only guess in the hopes people would see the logo even if they’re downloading and sharing and not clicking the share button.

      Was almost convinced they did a post-virality image edit on Reddit

      But I think Google pulled a watermark-free version from the comments and of course when I tapped it Reddit showed me the OP version, watermarked

  Fun fact, when recording the fake moin landing, Neil Armstrong was such a stickler for details that he refused to film it unless they filmed it on location.

• DarrinBrunner@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Neil claimed, and I think we should believe him, that he said “a man” but the radio glitched.

    The quote works either way. People just need to fuckin chill.

      It “works” in that we know what he meant, but it literally doesn’t work without the “a”.

    It suddenly makes so much more sense now…

  Artemis II never landed on the moon. It was just a flyby. This makes it more equivalent to Apollo 10 and the famous exchange

  Stafford: “Oh—who did it? … Give me a napkin quick. There’s a turd floating through the air”.

  Young: “I didn’t do it. It ain’t one of mine”.

  Cernan: “I don’t think it’s one of mine”.

  Stafford: “Mine was a little more sticky than that. Throw that away”.

  Cernan (later): “Here’s another goddam turd. What’s the matter with you guys?”

    Considering the continuing toilet problems on Arty 2, absolutely appropriate

  Apollo 10; “Whose turd is this floating through the capsule? It’s not mine, mine wasn’t sticky.”

    I heard something about the Artemis crew having waste disposal system issues too, but all I could find about it was a bunch of clickbaity YouTube videos and I refuse to watch those.

    • Semi_Hemi_Demigod@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      The fancy toilet got too cold, so the waste froze. They had to use heaters and even rotate the ship so the toilet was on the sunlit side to thaw it out.

  Has MSFT extended their gaslighting to include:

  Actually, a highly trained, educated, and capable NASA astronaut is just not using our product correctly?

  It really is farsical the degree to which they act lile you are just some kind of idiot if their horrendously designed software isn’t immediately comprehensible and obvious to you.

  You must have missed the part where they were talking about crater albedo and one of them said 6 7 (0.6-0.7) and the chat went wild. Definitely the most significant part of this whole thing.

  All that computing power and all we got was slower software and a hallucinating chatbot.

  At least I can game on Linux now, thats real progress.

  WTF is that ad in the top right of the meme?

  • Ironfacebuster@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    I don’t know what you could possibly be referring to.

    Maybe the weather in your area is affecting your vision and you’re seeing things, have you considered using AccuWeather to check the upcoming weather conditions in your area?

    source

    • elvith@feddit.org ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Don’t know why they’re called like that - the Accu definitely doesn’t stand for accurate (where I live).

  Ugh I hate that Neil biffed his line

  source

  • Haquer@lemmy.today ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    As another poster mentioned, it’s likely he said it correctly but the radio glitched/cut/whatever during that time and it cut a word. Neil stated that he said the line correctly.

      Didn’t NASA confirm a little while back that it was likely a transmission issue?

      I like to think he got choked up because of the magnitude of the event. I know I would.

    The quote makes no sense without “a”. It’s always annoyed me that it’s not added in, whether he said it or not!

    • zikzak025@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      It still makes perfect sense, imo. I wouldn’t even call it incorrect on a technical level. The contrast between “man” as singular and “mankind” as collective should provide all of the context needed.

      If I describe a scene of a story as “man goes to work,” no one assumes I’m talking about the collective of humanity.

  Apollo 11 made it to the moon and back with the computer power of a Dollar Tree hand held calculator, and over 50 years later, they can’t get a computer that’s a million times more powerful to work.

  We are watching De-evolution in real time.

  • Vupware@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    50 years ago, they had to take their photographs with film. 50 years ago, they had no means of live-streaming the entire flight. 50 years ago, email didn’t exist at all, so of course it didn’t break.

    But yeah Microslop sucks absolute ass and it’s poetic justice that Outlook would fuck up like this.

      It was more fun when they’d shoehorn three guys into a 55 gallon drum and shoot them out of a cannon at the moon.

      A computer joke was called for, not a rocket joke.
