What would you do?

The astronauts are landing during a monkey civil war. We came so close to doing it.

@CaribbeanRythms 1957: the space race starts! USSR ' sputnik becomes first satellite in orbit. 1969: (ONLY 12 YEARS LATER) USA landed on the moon! ... but we lost the lunar samples, we lost the HD film recordings on site, and we also lost the technology to go back... sure thing, champ!

this is the average moon landing denier: >never applied himself in a technical field >can’t do basic math problems let alone trigonometry, calculus, linear algebra >”what’s a vector?” >has never set foot in an engineering workspace >never seen a P&ID let alone read one >never coded >can’t read a schematic >confuses mass and weight >confuses voltage, current, and resistance >”bernoullis principle?” >cannot calculate slope between two points >”I love Ancient Greeks, wrestling naked in the sun. Wait, pythagorean theorem? why would I need that? >does not understand order of operations >struggles with exponents and powers >cannot work with fractions or ratios >doesn’t know the difference between diameter, circumference and radius of a circle >essentially mathematically illiterate >thinks g force is a watch I’d like to convince you one day about how great of an achievement this was for humanity, Sol.

@duneverso es esto cierto? 👀

@Pirat_Nation this is no Balenciaga

First, look at Severus Snape in the Harry Potter series.

@fandompulse Maybe it's because Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is a complete mess. It has no emotional weight. It feels stretched out for no reason. It's full of unnecessary plots, scenes, dialogue, and characters. All just to pad out a story that was almost perfect in the original game. Maybe?

Final Fantasy XIV director Naoki Yoshida aka Yoshi-P on why Final Fantasy is not connecting with younger gamers: "For younger generations — people who grew up naturally accustomed to action-based combat and online competitive play — the recent entries in the series may have been harder to engage with. Part of that is simply because I'm sorry to say... the release intervals for new titles have gotten longer, so some players haven't really had the chance to connect with the series the way older fans did." Do you think he's right?

@AxelTalksFilm can't he just add a film grain filter on his digital footage, and be done with it?

Cinematographer Grieg Fraser is known for using a process called "film out" in which he scans his footage captured on digital cameras onto 35 or 70mm film prints, & then scanned back in order to achieve a more organic look which adds the more grainy, warmer shadows, and chemical based colors of film. And it allows the flexibility & convenience of shooting with digital cameras on enormous sets, & for a skilled DP like Fraser, completely gets rid of the flat look of digital often seen in blockbusters. He's done it with both Dune films, The Batman, and now Project Hail Mary. My favorite DP in Hollywood, maestro.

@favoga_ yeah, it was a never-before-seen kind of videogame

当時リアルタイムでプレイしてた人に聞きたい。FFⅦって発売当初からすげぇぇてなってたの？

I feel like google should let me use Gemini for free after how many of these I had to fill out over the years

@spaincrisis tots sabem que fins que no traiem les guillotines, no canviarà res

Digueu-me il·lús, però sempre havia tingut la sensació que els 5.000 milions d'euros que paguem en impostos propis era per millorar les nostres vides. I resulta que no, que tots aquests diners són per a guinguetes en mans de partits polítics o amics d'aquests. Fills de la gran…

@fandompulse That's totally a very wise gnostic symbolism piece of knowledge. somehow now I understand how all the gods, demons and creatures form Arda can relate to the mysteries of the Christian gnosticism

J.R.R. Tolkien on why a story fails: "What really happens is that the storymaker proves a successful “sub-creator.” He makes a Secondary World which your mind can enter. Inside it, what he relates is “true”: it accords with the laws of that world. You therefore believe it, while you are, as it were, inside. The moment disbelief arises, the spell is broken; the magic, or rather art, has failed. You are then out in the Primary World again, looking at the little abortive Secondary World from outside." Do you agree with him?

@empiresunchnd @robbertleusink that's most probably another English fake history fact

The irony runs deeper than most people know. Dom Pérignon didn't actually invent sparkling wine, English scientist Christopher Merret documented the process of adding sugar to wine to create carbonation in a paper presented to the Royal Society in 1662, six years before Pérignon even arrived at Hautvillers. The French spent considerable effort over the following centuries ensuring the English origin of champagne's carbonation method was not widely discussed.

The most famous name in champagne belongs to a monk Dom Pérignon entered the Abbey of Hautvillers in 1668... He spent 47 years as cellar master, perfecting cork sealing, blending grapes across vineyards, and building the methods that defined French sparkling wine He never left the monastery... The most luxurious drink in the world was engineered by a man who owned nothing and worked for the glory of God

@marmaduke091 ah yeah, a punch fighting videogame for my favorite sword and sorcery fantasy books saga

This is absolutely insane 🫠 People are yearning for a LOTR game like this. We’ve somehow normalized waiting 2 years for 6 episodes of a TV show and a decade for a game sequel. Imagine getting a new GTA game every year. AI will replace the bottlenecks, not human direction.

@GavanThomson @MickWest @UAPReportingCnt omg you're right, it's all fake!

@Swivel @MickWest @UAPReportingCnt The dude who filmed has other videos that are clearly buttons from a pair of jeans that he placed on the glass of his skylight and then shot the video from inside and underneath. There is a great video on YouTube somewhere of a “debunker” showing how it’s done.

🚨 Some of the most crystal-clear UAP footage ever recorded was captured by Antonio Urzi on April 29, 2007 over Milan, Italy. Real? What is it?

@MickWest @UAPReportingCnt what do you mean buttons?

@UAPReportingCnt Buttons

BOMBA: @som3cat estrenarà el canal temàtic '3Cat Anime' per celebrar i descobrir l’anime amb el @DoblatgeCatala. Entre les propostes, el retorn de 'Conan, el nen del futur', 'Cavallers del Zodíac' o 'Neon Genesis Evangelion'. Feu-ne difusió perquè ho sàpiga tothom.

Una cosa està clara, si un president necesita la bestiesa de 16 conselleries i cada conseller un nombre elevadíssim d'assessors, les persones més ignorants de Catalunya poden ser president i consellers de la Generalitat de Catalunya, no?
