The world keeps changing. This animated globe from Utrecht University rewinds hundreds of millions of years to show your exact location drifting across the globe, flipping from ocean floor to desert to ice and back again. Same spot, wildly different worlds. Explore here in more detail: uu.nl/en/news/where-…

@beingahermit @DirtyDunkyNY @alexboge Another stupid fucking flerf who can't back up his assertions and has nothing but insults in his quiver. You're another total embarrassment to the species, shit fer brains.

@ae_gregg @DirtyDunkyNY @alexboge Another always angry nasa space cadet 🥱

This is one of the most stunning photographs ever taken and simultaneously a demonstration of just how stupid deniers are On February 11th, 2021, NASA's DSCOVR spacecraft - parked at the Sun-Earth Lagrange 1 point, 1.5 million kilometers from Earth - captured this image of the Moon transiting across our planet. From that vantage point, DSCOVR always sees the fully lit Earth, and when the Moon passes between it and us, we get something no ground-based observer ever can: the far side of the Moon, the side that has never once faced human eyes from Earth's surface, silhouetted against our home planet. Cue the flat earthers and moon landing deniers. They immediately zeroed in on the slight green color fringing along the Moon's edge and, with the confidence that only comes from spectacular ignorance, declared the whole thing fake. CGI. A NASA hoax. 🙄 This is what happens when you combine willful ignorance with a complete inability - or refusal - to spend ten seconds on a Google search. Here's what's actually going on. EPIC (Earth Polychromatic Imaging Camera) doesn't take a single full-color photo the way your phone does. It shoots in 10 separate wavelengths sequentially, and the full-color composite is built by merging three individual exposures - 443 nm (blue), 551 nm (green), and 680 nm (red) - taken roughly 54 seconds apart. The Moon doesn't sit still during those 54 seconds. It moves. So when those three channels are registered and merged, the Moon is in a slightly different pixel position in each one. The result? Color fringing - exactly where you'd predict it, on the leading edge of the Moon's motion, because green sits between blue and red in the exposure sequence and ends up as a narrow orphaned strip. Here's the beautiful irony: that green fringe isn't evidence of fakery. It's a fingerprint of authenticity. It's precisely what the known instrument design predicts. Any competent CGI artist would have composited it cleanly. The artifact is there because this is a real instrument doing real physics. The deniers found the one thing that proves it's genuine - and called it proof it's fake. What really kills me about this, deniers are so utterly pathetic that they think NASA is trying to pull this multi-trillion dollar hoax - but they just, whoops, forgot to edit out a green fringe and went ahead and published it worldwide giving away the entire hoax. 😂 When I say deniers are stupid I mean they are mind numbingly stupid.

@beingahermit @DirtyDunkyNY @alexboge Can't answer it can ya? Fuck right off then you little shit. After this and the reply I commented on, obvious you're just a shitty little wannabe edgelord. Get fucked - it might improve your attitude.

@ae_gregg @DirtyDunkyNY @alexboge Your question was bullshit, sooo

Even if it takes me 20 years I'll follow back anybody who reposts this thread

@theliamnissan Been following you for years.

@ItsMeAnnPirate @theliamnissan @ISeeYouMotel6 Oh hell ya! YEEEHAWWW!!!! Git some!

@theliamnissan @ISeeYouMotel6 Here’s one of mine in collaboration with a friend 😁👇

This deserves reposts.

Did you know that there was a Roman emperor who stopped aging after turning 19? Yes, He was Emperor constant teen.

@beingahermit @DirtyDunkyNY @alexboge There's no need for that kind of bullshit in this discussion. I'm outta here ya dipshit.

@DirtyDunkyNY @ae_gregg @alexboge Try and focus, then maybe you'll know why not, grasshopper

@beingahermit @DirtyDunkyNY @alexboge Nope. This is 1 of those times personal experience gets in the way of perceiving the difference in scale. You can't get a 1G field unless you have a mass of 5.9722 * 10^²⁴ kg. Since 'gravity doesn't exist' is often asserted I'm curious: what keeps us on the ground?

@ae_gregg @DirtyDunkyNY @alexboge Water itself proves the earth surface is horizontal, there'd be none on a rotating spheroid

Holy fuck... another reality TV star? This one's running for LA mayor. If he's anything like Trump, he's gonna use his characters persona in his campaign. Look how well it turned out when they voted for the character and got the actor.🤬

@beingahermit @DirtyDunkyNY @alexboge All bullshit to the side - how did you come to that conclusion? Everything I've studied, in school and on my own, points in a different direction.

@DirtyDunkyNY @ae_gregg @alexboge My reality is living on a horizontal/stationary earth and moderate cannabis consumption 😎

@DirtyDunkyNY @alexboge @beingahermit I endorse this post.

@ae_gregg @alexboge @beingahermit Same! Globe earth and lots of weed! Lol

@alexboge @beingahermit Didn't think you were - just being silly. Know what you mean with the distinction, use the same one myself. I've met a number of those you describe and wish they could get the help they need. Knowing that they can't in our heath care system sucks. Remember the Frisbee story?

There are pot enjoyers and there are dopers. Some enjoy the buzz and mind expansion. Some lose what few brain cells they have left and get addicted to conspiracies. I ain’t hating on pot at all. I still have some fabulous furry freak brothers comics… Freewheelin’ Franklin Freek, Phineas Freak, Fat Freddy Freekowits, and Fat Freddy’s Cat

@alexboge @beingahermit Now now, Alex. When I look in the mirror that's exactly what I see.😏

@ae_gregg @beingahermit Pot heads lol

@atrupar It’s weird that Trump’s admin has so much reverence for Kid Rock.

@JoReKeo @atrupar The most coherent, for MAGA values of coherent, answer you're going to get is 'Because it owns the libs'.

@atrupar How is asking why he cancelled an investigation started by 101st air born command partisan?

WHITESIDES: I want to talk about the Apache helicopter that flew over Kid Rock's property on March 28. An investigation was launched. Did you personally direct termination of that review? HEGSETH: I did WHITESIDES: How does canceling a command-initiated review support a culture of accountability?

@confuseddhead @Rainmaker1973 @elonmusk Thx for your response. Good to see you took out that either. Reptiles are a good example but I prefer to use cephalopods - those guys have been around for quite a while. Not weak, just no smarter than we have to be to be hunter/gatherers. And yes, in time we will be replaced.

@ae_gregg @Rainmaker1973 Correct! Humanity isn't made to last .. look at reptiles, for example! Humans are not the ultimate life on Earth! We too will be replaced by a better and more sustainable life before the Sun explodes ... that's where @elonmusk always goes wrong .. Man is weak 👉🤔✌

We just saw the exact moment a star exploded for the first time ever. Astronomers have achieved a rare feat: imaging the exact moment a massive star detonated—and the explosion was anything but spherical. SN 2024ggi, a supernova located 22 million light-years away in the spiral galaxy NGC 3621, was detected a mere 26 hours after ignition. This extraordinarily early discovery allowed researchers to train the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile on the event while it was still in its infancy. Using the technique of spectropolarimetry—which analyzes the polarization of light to reveal geometric structure—the team uncovered a surprising truth: the expanding shockwave was distinctly aspherical, elongated into an “olive” or prolate shape along one primary axis. This asymmetry means the catastrophic rebound following the star’s core collapse did not propagate uniformly in all directions, directly contradicting the long-standing assumption that the deepest layers of a core-collapse supernova explode spherically. The progenitor was a red supergiant 12–15 times more massive than the Sun that had exhausted its nuclear fuel, triggering gravitational collapse of its iron core. In most supernovae, the initial shape of this breakout is quickly obscured as the blast wave slams into the star’s outer envelope. Here, however, astronomers captured polarized light signatures of the still-unobscured ejecta, freezing the explosion’s geometry in time. The discovery carries far-reaching consequences. It strongly suggests that asymmetry is common, if not universal, in the earliest phases of massive-star deaths. Current theoretical models, which often assume spherical symmetry at the core, will need significant revision. Moreover, these distorted explosions could help explain observed peculiarities in supernova remnants, the production of gamma-ray bursts, and the kicking of neutron stars and black holes to high speeds at birth. By catching a star in the act of dying asymmetrically, SN 2024ggi has given us a vivid glimpse into the violent, chaotic physics that govern the final heartbeat of the universe’s most massive stars.

@bchris1699 @atrupar pffffft. Rock in what? Did you mean 'on'? Normally I don't criticize other's musical preferences, but DAMN, dude, quit embarrassing yourself.

@atrupar I work below his house in Nashville and see Ft Campbells.copters all the time. Rock in Kid
