I believe you. Still seems wild that I will never see another one in my lifetime.

How is the next transit of Venus not until 2117? That blows my socks’ mind. Seems like that should be happening very regularly.

Third time’s a charm!

And before that there were records with secret spirals.

I was just thinking there should be Pez compatible mints.

He’s going to sign an executive order forcing Potatohead to go by Mr. again, isn’t he.
- Comment on David Bowie has been dead for almost a decade. 4 weeks ago:
Anisocoria. His irises are the same colour but one is always dilated, making it appear darker.
- Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? 5 weeks ago:
I like them, personally. You don’t have to use them but they are sometimes handy. I just spent 30 seconds feeling around a TV to turn it off only to discover it doesn’t have buttons. Killed it at the wall.
It’s not a deal breaker, in any case. The weird foreign convention I would like to shame is doors that require a key to open from the inside.

I was by myself in the middle of one night when we were first moving in when I start getting messages from the cameras I set up. “Humanoid on driveway”. “Humanoid at front door”. It was a cat.

Trying to politely correct everyone is like hurting cats.

A friend of mine in Zambia taught me how to fry caterpillars. They are like squishy french fries. They are fine. They pair well with chibuku.

I was sure this was a Suddam Hussein post.
- Comment on Petrichor 3 months ago:
I lost my smell to COVID in that first year, before the vaccine. Recently and for the first time since, I smelled petrichor and I could have cried.

- Comment on Calculatable 3 months ago:
I am using and loving Solve by Pomegranate Apps. Multiple workspaces and advanced functions available a swipe away. It doesn’t seem to be available anymore, and it looked like the company was hitting hard times when they dumped things like Trump quotes and other shit apps into the store. So, apprehensive to recommend because of weirdness but best calculator ever.
- Comment on lemmy.ca user Is this true? 3 months ago:
Fun fact: timbits were named so in honour of his fatal drunk driving car accident.

Non-United-Statesian here; try it; trust me.
- Comment on California’s new law forces digital stores to admit you’re just licensing content, not buying it 5 months ago:
Or force them to admit they are selling it for real without all the license mumbo jumbo. They have always known what “buy now” buttons were meant to lead you to believe. And — in my humble opinion — you aren’t wrong for believing that; they are.

Huh, only a mere 6 alts to send the message you are sad about being wrong about science.

You can calm down because I don’t care. Enjoy your massive W, buddy.

- Comment on W Earth 6 months ago:
That isn’t clear at all and I’m not even sure I agree, regardless. Hydrostatic equilibrium is a regularly occuring thing. No, I’m not looking up how regular. The Universe is mind-bogglingly enormous and everything is unusual. Have a good day.
- Comment on W Earth 6 months ago:
But it isn’t a mystery at all. The moon is moving away from us. For billions of years the moon’s apparent size was larger than the sun. For billions of years later it will appear smaller. It’s simply a lucky coincidence we live in this moment in time, in that regard.

Pedophiles in the olympics, our strange toilets with the “poop shelf”; I just can’t win today.
