- Comment on shrimp colour drama 6 days ago:
the brain’s actually trying to understand what things are made of, and it’s guessing at that based on the light that enteres the eye.
this is why when you pick up a thing outside and take it inside, it doesnt change color (edge cases exist), even though the light that reflects off of it into your eye absolutely changes a lot.

the grizzly is telling him “Ah, Jesus. I wish you could see this. Light’s coming up. I’ve never seen a painting that captures the beauty of the ocean at a moment like this. I’m gonna make you rich, Bud Fox. Yeah. Rich enough, you can afford a girl like Darien. This is your wake-up call, pal. Go to work.”

smell is the first sense, pretty much. single-celled organisms already have it.
of course, in some ways, it’s not as easy as for example vision. you need 3 different kinds of photoreceptors to see pretty much all that there is to see, but you need god knows how many chemical receptors in your nose (or all over your cell wall in the case of bacteria or the like) to sense all the interesting stuff floating around.

one time, my sister told me we should watch the unaltered star wars trilogy. through the magic of two hungarians who speak very good english, i managed to hear that “unaltered” as “anal turd”

i would just like to mention that the physics of the universe in LOTR are obviously very different, since you can sometimes see stars during the day, if you’re in a deep valley
- Comment on kawaiiiiiii 1 month ago:
the world was flat until numenor made war on the undying lands. at that point, numenor sank and the world was made round and the undying lands were placed somehow outside them, so that elves could still sail west along the straight way and get there, but everyone else just sailed west around the globe.
later, tolkien changed his mind about a lot of this and played with it, trying to turn it into an always roundworld (scientifically accurate myth was his goal at this point) but couldnt really figure out how it’d work and he was old and then he died
- Comment on kawaiiiiiii 1 month ago:
no, that’s not why. it’s because elves can just see better. it’s the same reason they can walk on top of snow. they are slightly outside the laws that apply to ordinary humans. even aragorn is a hair over the line.

eeeeh, it can go the other way. i dont think i would’ve ever had mice in this flat without the cat. but she likes to catch mice, bring them inside totally unharmed and let them go. and then watch them. chase them. sit on top of them. she doesnt eat them because i guess she never had to eat them.
and then i end up catching the mouse since i dont want it loose in the flat at night, and i dont want to find a rotting mouse corpse 2 weeks later (this has happened at least twice).
