  • The fuck is it with liberals finding the aesthetic of oppression sexy? If you die without fighting your oppressors, you’re a sexy hero. If you fight back and attempt to liberate yourself from your oppressors all of a sudden you’re a hideous beast and suddenly it’s your oppressors who need all the backup in the universe to protect them from your “unprovoked” attacks.

    It’s literally an ideology to disarm the oppressed and protect the function and integrity of oppressors (justifying mythos). These people want DSA type shit where they believe bringing a bunch of flowers to your own fucking funeral is somehow noble praxis. Surrendering yourself to the enemy is how we’re supposed to win struggles… Well, why aren’t they suggesting such shit for the Ukrainians? They conveniently support force only when it’s the worst people imaginable perpetrating it.

    Liberalism and the justifying mythos they leverage must be destroyed. Force works. Fuck these people who try to keep the oppressed docile.










  • Hexbear is the last fun place on the internet

    I dunno what we are in now but the old web was better. 1.0 sucked. 2.0 was good though. You had all these nich communities bubbling with energy and ideas. Now it is just reddit and psyops and comodification.

    https://neocities.org/browse

    Hexbears should help expand our creativity on the web, by taking inspiration from NeoCities (successor to GeoCities). Not everything has to be sterile and bland and boring. I’d even like to be able to customize our profile pages more than just things like the banner and profile picture. I mean, just look at how much life can be breathed into a site with so much flexibility. Look at all the colors and non-standard layouts. What the web as lost is personality, which we should be taking back. We’re on FOSS sites here in the Fediverse. We can do better, and we shouldn’t be too afraid to take risks by deviating from what’s accepted as “normal” these days.

    We had way better tools for self-expression on older formats like early YouTube, MySpace, etc etc. We don’t have to stay the course of sterile, standardized, corporatized web formats.

    The original point of using the web was making things beautiful and tinkering around with different designs. It was to tell a story with the layout. That was part of the content itself, not just what we say and do online.

    Edit: https://yesterweb.org/ (on NeoCities) has plenty of good and interesting information on this general topic of a worse present web (a manifesto, if you will)













  • Everything that crosses the horizon remains on the horizon in the form of a still afterimage that becomes increasingly redshifted until becoming undetectable.

    Some hypotheses suggest that hawking radiation could carry this information back out away from the horizon, but it’s only a theory.

    The light of the dying star has already long radiated away from the black hole. Once the star becomes a black hole, there’s no way for all that light that already escaped to just become captured. See this video here to get a short visual explanation, by the same YouTuber.


  • I always wonder if two observers were falling towards two different black holes that were the same mass, would they percieve each other’s clocks passing the same?

    It would be roughly the same phenomenon as observing from the ship. Both persons would perceive the other’s clock slowing down as the light has increasing difficulty reaching the observer.

    Presumably they wouldn’t be slowing down relative to each other, so long as they fell the same speed towards the same mass. Until at some they both cross the event horizon and shouldn’t be able to send signals anymore.

    You said two different black holes, so there would be time dilation experienced by both when observing the other party. If they were falling together side by side towards the same black hole, their clocks would be basically identical and would experience time in the same way. Even after crossing the horizon, they’d be able to see eachother and interact up until they were spaghettified. This is because light can still move upwards relative to us, and reach our eyes, even if all space is falling faster than light. This was addressed in the video when talking about the local scale of spacetime below the horizon.


  • probably depends on how big it is right? Smaller ones would just rip you up with tidal forces instantly

    In regards to the smaller ones ripping you apart before you even cross the horizon, it has to do with the actual distance away from the singularity itself.

    Supermassive black holes will give you a pretty lengthy amount of time to make peace with yourself once you cross the horizon. Stellar mass black holes, not so much.

    Regardless of the mass, you will undergo spaghettification at roughly the same place, based on the proximity to the singularity.
