The social players all moved over to FFXIV

I have never seen this and thank you for sharing it because good god I needed it.

Gotta weed out the weak ones with the fall.

Probably not willingly. Republican States are often horrible at updating infrastructure, and due to the lack of a well educated population, they don’t suffer much repercussion for that. Very high chance they grew up with or still have lead pipes.

Correct

Forgot the best one.

The French have a few examples of naming things the way they sound. Their word for bullfrog is the sound they make:

Ouaouaron

Bigger != taller explicitly

Not working in Signal, Fossify Gallery, Graphene’s ASOP Gallery App or Firefox for me.

? Lemmy does not have an official app. Are you reading this from Mastodon?

Animated webp? Wut? This image seems to be supported solely by Voyager… My browser and all my image apps and chat apps have no clue

Do you want to be Malons? This is how you become Malons. /s

It is the Avatar.

Such a good old creepy scifi short story.

A whatcha whatcha whatcha whatcha whatcha want?

Any visible planet or asteroid would. So some stars would also appear to blink out, but those would take longer to blink out. So the moon would go after 8 minutes, Jupiter would take 43 minutes to stop receiving light, and another 35-52 minutes to disappear for earth depending on orbital locations.

Presumably we would get something on radio/tv/internet from the side facing the sun once they realized it, that of course being only if they hadn’t already been eradicated by a horrific shockwave caused by whatever event caused the sun to vanish before they had a chance to report what they saw, because supernovae tend to travel at very close to the speed of light, so there wouldn’t be much time for them to react.

And if this is a supernova, you might just have time to grok what happened before the planet was obliterated under your feet from the shockwave.

So I guess… chances are we would just barely understand what happened before we were gone.

Heeeeeeeey. Hey. HEY!

We currently can’t block enough radiation to make space travel safe for humans in long term situations unless we are blessed with the calmest of space weather based on some recent news about the long term effects on the kidneys in the conditions of space travel (source, I believe the research still needs to be corroborated https://phys.org/news/2024-06-astronauts-kidneys-survive-roundtrip-mars.pdf )

We’re still not at the Star Trek radiation screen level, unfortunately. So I’m not confident we can isolate this well enough. Earths magnetic field and atmosphere do a lot of work for us, and we still cannot replicate their function well enough to make it safe for humans long term. And this is a project that was put underground because it was more sensitive than humans.
