this isnt entirely true. cats are terrible at taking direction but it is possible to direct them. i’ve done it when my cat brought a live mouse inside and we had to hunt it as a team to corral it.

yes, but it’s extremely complicated and bulky. first, you have to have a naked ape. then that ape has to invent science and modern technology. then it has to build an electric grid, and then eventually this becomes possible…

this is stupid. give immigrants a billion pounds instead. then, they’ll stop being immigrants and instantly become expats, and anyway, billionaires are good for the economy and society. they’re job creators.

- Comment on Temperatures surpass 29C as UK heads for heatwave 1 month ago:
most portable units i’ve seen are the one-hose kind, which barely does anything because it creates negative pressure inside and then the house is just sucking hot air in through every crack
you have to have a minisplit installed if you want proper AC, which is hundreds of dollars. also, it’s cool if you already have AC installed, but there’s not gonna be an AC installer with free time when there’s a massive heatwave like this, because everyone’s clamoring for AC.

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.

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 3 months 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 3 months 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.
