Pac-Man theory
Flat Earthers have proposed the 'Pac-Man effect' where you are instantly teleported to the other side if you reach the edge of the Earth.
This is a real theory.
Whether Flat Earth (FE) is a PSYOP or not is COMPLETELY IRRELEVANT....
It has NO BEARING AT ALL.
What is important is ...
[i] Can you DISPROVE FE?, and then
[ii] Can you PROVE GE?
The Helium Discord is coming back. We got this one wrong. We shut it down because we believed we were missing the larger deployer audience that didn't spend all day on Discord, but doing so removed a space the community relied on. We've heard that clearly.
The Network is entering its next chapter, and the community that built the Network is critical to our shared success. 🧵/1
ISS & Space Shuttle Discovery urine dump
Vented urine instantly flash-freezes into ice crystals, creating this glowing comet-like trail
Note the clearly curved trail following the free-fall orbital path around a spherical Earth.
PISS PLANET FOUND
JWST discovered Epsilon Indi Ab — a Jupiter-sized beast 7.6x Jupiter’s mass with an ammonia-rich atmosphere that literally smells like piss.
Pissing on Earth vs Mars — a fluid dynamics breakdown
Earth (1g = 9.81 m/s²):
Typical male stream velocity ~2.5 m/s at ~45° launch angle.
Range ≈ 1.6–2.2 m. Clean parabolic arc, lands in <0.5 s.
Mars (0.38g = 3.71 m/s²):
Same initial velocity → theoretical range increases by ~2.6× (≈4.5–6 m).
Time of flight ~1.6× longer. Stream arcs dramatically higher & hangs in the thin CO₂ atmosphere before slow-mo droplet dispersal.
Bonus: Mars’ 0.006 atm means rapid flash evaporation + possible boiling at body temp. Your piss might literally vaporize mid-arc.
One question I get a lot is can you see the stars differently from up in space. When we orbit on the night side of the planet, we get a view of the stars very much like being in a very dark place on Earth. And because of our orbital inclination, we get to see the stars of both the northern and southern hemisphere. I captured this shot of our galactic plane from one of the windows of the Crew Dragon Freedom that is docked to the zenith docking port.
Two Taiwanese grandmothers, aged 89 and 91, are working out at the gym as more seniors in Taiwan’s super-aged society turn to fitness to maintain both physical and mental health.
@TJ_EDWARDS18@BeenLucky7@Breaking911 Because physical media is outdated tech. Prone to scratches/breaking, etc.
I know what you mean though. Some like "holding" the media.
@sic_null@BeenLucky7@Breaking911 Why is it odd? People like to own their stuff. I know buying physical games is different from say Blu-ray, DVD or VHS because the entire game isn't always on the disk but people still do it. Hell vinyl, CD's, Cassette Tapes and VHS tapes have been making a comeback recently.
GameStop CEO Ryan Cohen has made an unsolicited $56 billion offer to acquire eBay, proposing $125 per share in a bid to build a major e-commerce rival. The proposal includes a 20% premium, a 5% equity stake, and $20 billion in secured financing, targeting a company roughly four times GameStop’s size.
