the cultural object of the black hole is kind of remarkable. It's almost an anti-God in a sense, a negative infinity. Yeah there's this kind of dead sun that's collapsed into an infinitely dense point, and if you fall past its event horizon you're fucked. Every schoolchild knows this. A black hole can be introduced in a superhero blockbuster without any explanation except for its established look and the name "black hole", and this will be understood as the ultimate natural disaster, which even superman could not hope to defeat. truly S-tier cosmic object

If there's any proof we need that our reality is made of math, it's that graph function singularities exist as physical features of our world. Undefined algebraic points exist, we can see them, they float around space touching things and fucking them up beyond all recognition, and they look like marauding black death wrapped in a spherical gradient of tortured spacetime.

Like, words literally cannot describe how cool black holes are. If they did not actually exist, I doubt that the world's 100 top rated sci-fi writers locked in a room for a month brainstorming could come up with anything nearly as good. When do you ever get something that is as top tier psychologically impactful as it is so deeply rooted in fundamental scientific truth about reality?

A billion and a half years ago, 2 black holes in a suicide pact of a too-tight orbit finally collided and merged into an even larger black hole.

This event produced a shuddering in the fabric of reality that spread out through the universe at the speed of light. During the brief milliseconds of the merger, these two black holes were radiating 50X more power than all of the fusion in all of the stars in the entire observable universe, and turning all of that radiated energy directly into distortions of the coordinate system of the universe.

Eventually, we detected the first such event in 2015. Two mathematical abominations of gravity collided on the other side of the universe, and it rattled spacetime so hard that we felt it quake here on Earth billions of light years away.

Black holes are genuine cosmic horrors.

I hope everyone involved with TV production takes the wrong lesson from heated rivalry and puts explicit gay sex scenes into every show

all TV must become gay porn until the fascism ceases

As a pope, I'm officially making this canon law

kids were roleplaying with minecraft figurines and one of them had their figure go up to the other and say “i’m in love with you” and the other one replied “sword slash to the chest. and you’re on fire”

“And yet…

“You sir, are a conjuror, for ah saw you WITH MAH OWN EYES, take ah piece of that plastic flahmingo and eat it…as if it were no more than a mere bonbon”

Y’all gotta come up with some new lines, or just absorb the information without comment.

Isn’t it funny how kpop artists are not allowed to say imma beat that pussy up but they are almost always peddling sex appeal in some way so we get one thousand metaphors instead and it’s like

girl group lyrics: look at my cookie my cake my strawberry cream sundae because it’s sweet and it’s pink and it’s fresh and it’s hot and if you want it you can taste it but not everyone can taste it but you can touch it and feel it and it feel so good.

boy group lyrics: come ride on me and around me and on top of me and jump on top of me and we are jumping around and around and we are close to each other because we are driving in the car. And you can drive my car and we can drive the car together and we can drive so hard and so fast. Vroom vroom skrrt skrrt let’s ride let’s go let’s jump up and down I love my car it’s fun.

People talk about Elsa's "Let it Go" moment having killed the men of the Terror and the Erebus, but it goes farther than that. That same historically cold winter of 1846/1847 also caused so much snow that it led to an infamous American tragedy, as I learned when I read the nonfiction work The Indifferent Stars Above.

If Elsa killed the Terror and Erebus men, then she also doomed the Donner Party.

Doesn’t Frozen take place during the summer, though?

The Donner Party got stuck in the mountains when it unexpectedly started snowing in September!

For everyone who keeps asking what the hell I'm talking about.

thinking about the time some terf dipshit on twitter said "you weirdos will be saying TREES are a social construct next" and I got nerdsniped and waded in like "trees ARE a social construct. there is no fundamental binary characteristic that separates trees from other plants" and well, I'll spare you the details but the conversation ended with the dipshit yelling "PALM TREES HAVE WOOD" which is hilarious because "wood" actually does have a pretty unambiguous, binary definition and palms in fact do not qualify
