There’s an episode of black mirror about AI bees that I think you’d like, it’s called Hated in the Nation. It’s 89 minutes so basically a movie.
Not quite the same as actual regular wasps, but it’s the right vibe given your comment, and they act more like wasps than bees ;)
Good ones maybe, but I never said it was one of those :)
Umm..
What exactly is this fungus supposed to grow -on-? Is it consuming dirt or what? The article didn’t say as far as I could tell.
Like, cool idea and stuff, but fungi are decomposers, and afaik mars doesn’t have much to decompose..
And really any other material (like human waste or something) would take ages to accumulate enough to grow a structure from..
Be interesting to see what scotus does with it, as it will almost certainly end up there, but I don’t really have high hopes of a good outcome..
My girl cat’s shortened name is bean, and I often call her black bean burrito (the other one’s food name is banana, because it rhymes with Rayla)
Well, see, he heard about subreddit simulator and he thought sure that sounds good, but doesn’t get the difference in platform.
Plus once you get it working, you can set up retirement communities up there. Gives old people a chance to take a pioneering risk so we can sort out the kinks and grow the space with purpose, and makes them feel a lot better being in reduced gravity.
I’ve even got a slogan! It’s cheesy and totally 1950s sci-fi, so perfect!
“Retire in comfort on the moon, where 1/6 gravity makes old bodies feel new again!”
Even snakes are bizarre. We have a creature with no limbs, just a very dangerous head and a potentially very dangerous body, and it uses its skin to move. And they can eat things whole which are several times the size of their head. Seriously, wtf.
Oh and even better, they range in size from adorable little worms to big enough to eat a human whole. And what kind of exercise do constrictors even do to get strong enough to suffocate something that outweighs it??
I thought the same thing.
I’d play it. Sounds hilarious. Like cards against humanity as an rpg.
As someone who has always been on a low-sodium diet, but who nonetheless has a hankering for processed food, thank fuck.
Everything has become so ridiculously salty, if you aren’t already used to the salt, that it’s largely inedible. It would otherwise be really good, but holy shit.
If we can get people consuming less salt in some places, they will want less in other places as well, maybe food as a whole will be less salty.. that would be a win in every single way for everyone. Everyone who regularly eats with me tends to want less salt in their food overall as a result, so I know it works, and it doesn’t even take that long.
I’m about halfway through the video, and I agree with basically all of it so far.
Something I experience is that when I shower and wear my normal comfy clothes (which are 100% permanent press/spandex blend fabrics and thus look nicer, higher end, etc, but aren’t - I shop primarily at thrift stores and still wear stuff from middle school which was 24 years ago) people always tell me how nice and fancy I look. And the only response I really have is “oh, thanks, umm, well I showered today and my clothes are clean, that’s probably it”, simply because that’s my normal clothing so I see nothing overly fancy about it.
It’s not fancy or conforming to the male/neurotypical gaze or whatever nonsense, it just meets my specific clothing requirements (stretchy, soft, loose around arms/lower legs, loose collar like a v-neck or tank top), but because people tend to associate that look with business casual, they think I’m dressed up.
I wonder how often people judge me for that.. probably less than when I had colored hair (which I liked doing but was really uncomfortable to go out in public with), but more than if I could stand to wear jeans and cotton t-shirts.
