@MaindreTheFloop There are lots of examples of fan works before the internet. For example, people wrote sequels for Gulliver's Travels 1726. Modern fanfiction also got its start in 1967 when a Star Trek fanzine contained fan fiction.

Fanfiction didn't exist before modern copyright.
This idea was created by AO3 writers to make them feel good about their low quality smut.

The best part of Artemis II was the opportunity to dunk on Microslop. The worst part was seeing Flat Earther takes on my timeline.

@polypocketknife Amazonian is the correct word to use, since wouldn't be literally turning into an Amazon. They're becoming like to an Amazon

being both peruvian and a lover of strong women i always twitch when people say "amazonian" when they clearly mean "amazon"

Im tired of all the "body builder guy to waifish woman" transition timelines. Where are the "twink dude to amazonian goddess" timelines?

I weep for the state of education that people *still* call it the 'dark side of the moon' rather than the far side of the moon.

@FreddieDesenho "I hate this group of people for something they were born with. Also, don't get mad at people for something they were born with just because of some bad apples. Anyone who calls me out for this just hates people for something they were born with."

@mandycrpz @FreddieDesenho I know, how can someone hat a person for the circumstances of their birth? No one chooses to be black or male. Damn, I hate people who hate people for no reason.

@MewHNYT @stonetoss Easter is a Christian holiday celebrating Jesus Christ's resurrection. In the modern era it has been associated with rabbits. The joke is a bait and switch where you think Jax will be forced to be the Easter Bunny only to be crucified like Christ was.

@MIBkai A lot of atomic bomb jokes are seen as tasteless in America too. I have seen people make jokes like "Japan needs a third bomb" after seeing a weird scene in an Anime on their Twitter timeline and it annoys me every time.

日本における原爆ジョーク、アメリカだとまあ黒人じゃない人が言う黒人ジョークみたいなものってのがニュアンスが近いのかね。と言う感じはある。
日本人相手だと場を和ませるんじゃなくて喧嘩を売る方向のあれだね。
一応真面目な話、ここで調子に乗って『つまらない上に差別的な黒人ジョークとか原爆ジョークをお前は言え、早く！』と俺は言ってないからな。頼むよ。
そういう寒い上に顔面を殴れない距離からあれこれ言う卑怯な嫌がらせをして他人をいびるのは楽しいのかもしれないけどさ。

Is anon stupid? Did he think the orthodontist gives us the retainer for life just because they think it's funny?

@Flummoxidil @OutdoorsOutside @aakashgupta Oh, I was thinking of the bullet being fired down. Poorly worded hypothetical then.

The physics on this are worth running because "thousands of feet" sounds terrifying until you remember that height stops mattering after a few seconds.
An M&M weighs about 0.9 grams. Terminal velocity is determined by the ratio of mass to cross-sectional area. For something that light and that round, terminal velocity lands somewhere around 10 to 15 mph. A raindrop hits you harder.
J.B.S. Haldane wrote the best explanation of this in 1926: "You can drop a mouse down a thousand-yard mine shaft; and, on arriving at the bottom, it gets a slight shock and walks away. A rat is killed, a man is broken, a horse splashes." The square-cube law means small objects have proportionally more surface area relative to their mass. Air resistance wins.
Whether you drop an M&M from 100 feet or 10,000 feet, it hits the ground at the same speed. It reaches terminal velocity in seconds. After that, gravity and drag are in equilibrium and the candy is just floating down at jogging pace.
The content is dumb for a dozen reasons. Physics danger to bystanders is not one of them.

This can turn out to be really bad, seriously. Those M&M's falling thousands of feet to the ground can cause some damage, especially if they hit somebody. People need to use their brain a bit more before doing things for content... 🤬
English
@OutdoorsOutside @aakashgupta If I drop a ball from my left hand and throw it to the ground in the other, which will land first? Regardless of height.
English
@OutdoorsOutside @aakashgupta The bullet that was fired from a gun would actually land far more quickly since the speed from being shot would far exceed the terminal velocity. By the time the fired bullet slows down to terminal velocity, the dropped bullet would be left in the dust.
English
@aakashgupta I try explaining to people if you shoot a bullet and drop a bullet from the same height at the same time, both bullets will hit the ground at the same time... usually ends with people telling me I don't know how gravity works.

私は日本人なので日本の食事が世界で1番美味しいと思ってるんだけど、それでもインド料理も中国料理もアメリカ料理もメキシコ料理もぜんぶ美味しいと思ってる。
でも中には「アメリカの飯はマズい」とか言ってる頭と性格の悪い日本人もいる。
これは同じ日本人として、本当に恥ずかしい。
数年前にも、アメリカのスーパーのお菓子売り場で
「やめとけそれは不味い」
と日本語が聞こえてきたんですよ。
子どもが選んだお菓子を「不味い」と否定する父親。
これも🇺🇸はメシマズ論と同じなんですよ。
美味い不味いはただの個人の感想。
未経験なら、自身で一度試すべき。
「食べてみたい」という子供の好奇心を奪うのは良くない。
見ると子供の手にはTwizzlers licorice。
私「やめとけそれは超不味い」

@banetoti2 Is police patch trading practiced in Japan? It is very common for police departments to trade patches in America.
