i love doing as much as i can to be explicitly terrible and mean and then just not actually meaning it or caring and then walking away. fire and forget hatred

i am an artist from The Nullscape and this is my art

the moment you start trying to figure out what the point of me is, i'm already dulling it. the moment you think my political or religious alignment makes any sense, i go offline for months and come back a different person

i have initiated the soft rebrand protocol. instead of even pretending to have a brain or be any kind of philosopher, i don't even need to put a sheen or veneer of theme or gimmick on my ragebait. i don't need to clarify what my true beliefs are. i will post both randomly

For over a thousand years, historians thought the Viking "sunstone" was nothing more than a myth, until the ocean gave up its secret... The Norse sagas repeatedly referenced a mysterious object called a "sólarsteinn" or sunstone, a navigational tool so powerful that Viking sailors could locate the exact position of the sun even on the most overcast and cloudy days. For centuries, scholars debated whether this was real technology or simply folklore embellished over generations of retelling. Most assumed it was legend. They were wrong. In 2013, marine archaeologists excavating a British warship that sank near the Channel Islands in 1592 made a stunning discovery buried among the wreckage. Alongside navigational instruments including a pair of dividers and a slate, they found a rectangular chunk of translucent crystal. Testing confirmed it was Iceland spar, a remarkably pure form of calcite with extraordinary optical properties. The fact that it was found stored alongside other precision navigation tools was not a coincidence. Iceland spar possesses a property called birefringence, meaning it splits a single beam of light entering the crystal into two separate beams. When you hold the crystal up toward the sky and slowly rotate it, the two beams will vary in brightness independently until, at one specific angle of rotation, they become perfectly equal in intensity. That precise angle points directly toward the sun, regardless of whether the sun is visible to the naked eye. Cloud cover, fog, and even twilight conditions cannot defeat it. Researchers from the University of Rennes in France conducted extensive testing and published their findings in the Proceedings of the Royal Society A. Their experiments demonstrated that Iceland spar could locate the sun's position with an accuracy of within one degree, even under completely overcast skies. For Viking navigators crossing the North Atlantic toward Iceland, Greenland, and eventually North America, this accuracy would have meant the difference between a successful voyage and sailing hopelessly off course into open ocean. The Viking Age spanned roughly 793 to 1066 AD, and during this period Norse sailors were completing oceanic crossings that would not be replicated by other European cultures for another 400 years. Historians had long puzzled over how they achieved such consistent navigational precision without magnetic compasses, which did not reach Europe until the 12th century. The sunstone appears to be a significant part of that answer. What makes the Channel Islands find especially compelling is that the 1592 shipwreck is far outside the traditional Viking era, suggesting that knowledge of this navigational technique survived and was still being used by European sailors centuries after the Viking Age officially ended. The crystal was not a relic or a curiosity on that ship. It was working equipment. The sagas specifically describe King Olaf consulting a sunstone on a cloudy day to verify the position of the sun, with a separate observation then confirming the stone's accuracy. For generations this was dismissed as poetic invention. Science has now confirmed that every element of that description is physically possible and practically achievable with a simple piece of Icelandic calcite. The Vikings were not lucky explorers stumbling across new lands by accident. They were sophisticated navigators armed with technology so elegant and effective that it required no moving parts, no maintenance, and no power source beyond the sky itself. 📷 : the original calcite crystal alongside Elizabethan navigation dividers next to a cannon Alderney Museum #archaeohistories

@rpmm24 this seems lovely as long as it isn't used for evil surveillance

finally, a good form for the robots to have

@WDK_Dos good

@kingkegaard No they don't. That should answer your question. Eugh

Meet (some) of the crew of USS John McGowan!

@CCanuck4 because the base state of the universe is suffering, it is in fact a good thing and to avoid it is unnatural

Yes, smart guy, you do in fact need to say why suffering is bad if you're arguing ethics.

more like krankegaard am i right? hehehehehe, i am deeply entrenched in the either and struggling towards anything resembling the or

you have to cooperate with at least one other person to survive and it would be best for you to be kind and empathetic to the people around you even if your mind tells you to be a stoic oppressive giga

we live in an age. an era. society and civilization. but what do these things really mean? a thread:

@WDK_Dos answer the question steven

@kingkegaard Shame on you
