Fuck… When I read that I jumped and almost dropped my fidget poker chips
I feel like other generations didn’t go through this. Even my parents have been shocked hearing about how long ago the star wars prequels came out, but didn’t react hearing how long it’s been for the originals.
It just feels so viscerally recent… My grandma saw cars come into common usage and people land on the moon, and she’ll say it’s wild how much the world has changed. But tell her Netflix started streaming close to two decades ago, and she’ll start laughing at the absurdity of the thought
Maybe time distorts as we approach the singularity
S-tier youtube video, too. No intro or outro, no sponsors, no nonsense. Just a good host talking enthusiastically and intelligently about a hypothetical scenario.
“Dying human hair is totally fine. Why not pet hair?”
The logic is sound enough for most people. Learning that it is not like that isn’t taught in schools. Just because someone knows that doesn’t mean everyone does.
It sucks, but being critical of those that do things harmful like they are stupid for not knowing is not as effective as being kind and teaching that it is harmful.
We all have to learn everything we know. So do strangers.
It’s a trend, for some reason. I really, really hope she used natural biodegradable and hypoallergenic water based dyes, they do exists. But the bathtub tells me this poor soul didn’t have that luxury.
The sane people use those that are more like a water spray and just tint the hair for a while. Then naturally wears off or washes up in the next bath.
I’ve had a fantasy since I was young that I would live to see some start to building colonies on the moon or Mars. The older I get and realize how vast the distances are between the earth, the moon, Mars and anything else, I’ve realized that I don’t think we’ll ever really leave earth in anything more than to go into orbit around earth. People are very tied to the environment that we formed in and taking that with us to another planet will be prohibitively expensive and refreshing supplies to support that can largely only be done on earth.
Now I believe people won’t make any permanent settlement outside of earth in my lifetime or ever.
If humanity survives into the future without regressing technologically, I think it’s very likely that humanity will expand into space. Yes, the earth is very habitable, but space is abundant in resources if we can get to them, as well as opening up a new world of manufacturing due to no space or gravity limitations. Possibly will be necessary for future research and science as well, as ever more demanding experiments will be desired.
Once space infrastructure gets really going, I think space will be a very natural environment to expand into. And that will also imply at least semi-permanent habitats.
Ever is a very long time. We have the technology today to build a colony on the Moon and on Mars.
When something is a science problem (i.e. - warp drive) we might never achieve it, because it might not even be possible.
When something is an engineering problem (i.e. - just bigger rockets) we ALWAYS eventually get there. It just takes a small group of people with the right motivation to get it done.
And everything was being bombarded with comets, asteroids, gamma ray bursts, and all the other horrors of our current universe but right next door. Too much chaos for any sustainability.
True, but you are mixing up a little bit of the timeline of the universe.
The CMB is from a time about 300,000 years after the “big bang” where the entire universe was basically a giant red star. It was the first time that any light could shine, because before that, the entire universe was so dense that literally no light could move. There were no comets or asteroids because there was literally no way for anything solid to form. esa.int/…/Cosmic_Microwave_Background_CMB_radiati…
The time of the comets and asteroids were billions of years later. Much later, after the galaxies, and then our solar system developed. This was about 10 billion years after the time that the CMB was being emitted. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Late_Heavy_Bombardment
That reminded me a bit about some odd behavior that have some form of vertical videos like shorts/reels (don’t remember where I saw it) like you are watching a video and then it moves up a bit like to show you (like if you didn’t know) that you can doom scroll forcing you to tap the video to bring it at its original place, this has happened to me several times like, bruh, what the heck is this asshole design.
This woman tried so hard to stay with him till he died but she just couldn’t bear it any longer. Although she bailed from the old wrinkly prune before he died, implicitly breaking her contract, thankfully he still left her $5 million dollars and a 7 million house.
