That’s the good ending! It means we’ve carefully maneuvered Sol through the galactic disc to do a hand shake with a red dwarf’s liquid water zone. It means there is time, time to explore to test to get it right. Life goes on going on, sentience ripples through the whole ecosystem and people learn to come together for cake! …well, except that fellow in the trees… that’s a tad bleak…

that’s so sweet, a tea party on a spek orbiting a red dwarf

looks like a minecraft house. Honestly, that might do well with some people. If you were blind or hard of vision, it would be very easy to navigate by feel and memory.

i kinda like the new one; Why is electro-magnetic-radiation so fast?

new phones look goofy with all the extra cameras and circles of dubious functionality

i want a phon with no cameras cus i never uses em so why should i pay for hardware i don’t need?

think this was in Issaacc Assimovv’s Robot Visions

i’ve been interpreting the puffer fish as a persons ability to offload mental tasks into the spaces and tools around them - is that a decent read or am i doing surrealism wrong?

ever seen a dollar bin box on the floor of a shop? great way to find weird films

finally, a lemmy art com that isn’t progamme generated pictures

Apple Inc.(AAPL) is a very funny company to be producing adaptations of classic cyberpunk novels

This man is the reason I follow federal politics rather than a sports team.

I have to watch this, to see the man with the clarity of adulthood and an understanding tempered by experience. I suspect it will be funny, but not for the reasons it’s supposed to be.

Think 'em like training weights. When you get a good cue it’ll be like “Why are you smiling?”

“Because I’m not left handed” and then the real fancy choreographed pool tricks come out

Yeah! Fuck Britain for making us pay for the war we started with France! Why, I heard they’re charging less for tea than us local businessmen are! Lets go smash the cheap tea to protect our price gouging!

There had been that Weapons Law, for a start. Weapons were involved in so many crimes that, Swing reasoned, reducing the number of weapons had to reduce the crime rate.

Vimes wondered if he’d sat up in bed in the middle of the night and hugged himself when he’d dreamed that one up. Confiscate all weapons, and crime would go down. It made sense. It would have worked, too, if only there had been enough coppers - say, three per citizen.

Amazingly, quite a few weapons were handed in. The flaw, though, was one that had somehow managed to escape Swing, and it was this: criminals don’t obey the law. It’s more or less a requirement for the job. They had no particular interest in making the streets safer for anyone except themselves. And they couldn’t believe what was happening. It was like Hogswatch every day.

The nicest part about a straw man so distant from anything real, is that it makes talking with people about real politics much easier. Just avoid the buzz words. Find clear, none-cliché ways to phrase your ideas, and people will agree with the most dyed-red communist analysis.

Male Kananciuê millipedes have “rather complex” genitalia, researchers said. Its genitalia is located near its head segments and has an oval shape, photos in the study show.

they’ll mention the weird genitals, give it top billing – but will they reprint the photos? Fkcn cowards

Five-Eyes operatives have risked everything to deliver this picture of the biological weapon

I['m pretty sure I] know this is a joke, however

No. Teachers do not make their living by owning capital, and thus are not bourgeois.
