Real Psychologists: “Brains are weird, yo.”

How else will you get that gorgeous metallic flavor that portends your teeth falling out?

I’ll never get the vague vinegar stains out of my hand

Someone knows the Master’s thesis trick.

I feel like if I could remove my connotations from the word, Cicada itself would be an awesome name.

Yeah, I can see a place smelling like a public swimming pool being off-putting. 10% bleach is really common across the food industry, though. Making bread, jerky, kombucha, and various grains, each facility had the same bleach concentration for cleaning (among other cleaning and sanitizing solutions).

I think it should’ve been called CORVID in the first place. It just sounds cooler and it still fits the naming convention.

Legend right here.

I’d be more suspicious of them telling me life exists on Venus, specifically. Last I heard it was a hot-ass gaseous atmosphere made of acid. My money is still on Europa.

“SO HOW ABOUT THAT ISRAELI - PALLESTINIAN CONFLICT?”

I personally think it was part of the “Bone a Drone” movement that was used to collect samples of human DNA in order to synthesize fake human beings that would potentially make it into statures of power in order to create a new world order.

I don’t really, but that’s a much more compelling story than, “late stage Capitalism sucks for almost everyone involved”.

It was a good sustained 15 to 20 seconds, and the lumen it projected didn’t really fluctuate. It was more in the yellow than white spectrum as well. Makes sense for my initial description, but it doesn’t make sense for the Willamette Valley, the color, and pattern of movement. Not that I have a better explanation, but I’ve spent my whole professional life as a food QA auditor and lab tech, so I’m used to just reporting things I’ve seen and not reading into them.

Probably an attempt at a viral marketing campaign. Everything seems to turn out disappointing these days.

Atheist and skeptic, so I can’t jump to conclusions, but I watched a sphere of light move alongside me in my car while I was driving next to the Willamette river in West Salem, Oregon. It moved and stopped with more precision than I’ve ever seen from a drone and stayed about 50-some feet in the air above the river. I moved my head around consistently to ensure it wasn’t a reflection on my windshield. My friend had told me about his “alien experience” that sounded shockingly the same, also in West Salem, but a good year before this. He claims to have seen multiple and was just standing outside for a cigarette.

My go to line in social situations is: “Some say the most dangerous game is the hunting of man. I think that it’s X”

Pouring coffee, stacking ceramic mugs, punching fascists, liking an unpopular musician - it all pans out the same.

Gaurd be like: I used to be an adventurer like you, but then I took arthritis to the knees.

Thank you! I love this breakdown. I had a suspicion it was like this all along but lack the astrophysics background.

Not sure why astrophysicists are so quick to pull a Tonya Harding, though.

I’m also no philosopher, but I’ve a penchant for ethics.

I feel like the message is diluted a bit given how much he talks about charity in our capitalist society. The question is larger, and it takes some effort to step back and view a collectivist society as it could be.

Anyone able to ELI5 why wormholes and dimensional pockets are prevailing theories on black holes?

Like, I’ve got a lot of sci-fi under my belt and I need to figure out the sci part of it.
