I have low emotional affect. I don't get why people are able to get so upset over media 99% of the time.
it's a weird emotion when somebody goes "doesn't this just shake you to your core and rewrite your dna and change who you are as a person" and your honest experience of it was that it was ok

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Plus, supporting these long videos really helps keep my channel alive and funds more future content!

apparently people are now purchasing thick water to make slimes with because of a trend on tiktok
thick water is for disabled people who can’t swallow properly. stores usually have extremely limited supplies of it.
please don’t buy thick water for fun or to make slime with. it’s literally the only way some disabled people can drink anything. It’s not a fucking toy

Person A: "Forgive me."
Person B: "No <3"
[Person B proceeds to stab them at least twice. Thrice depending on who you ask.]

According to a recent report published by the Aargauer Zeitung (h/t Golem.de), around three million smart toothbrushes have been infected by hackers and enslaved into botnets.
The most cyberpunk thing on your dash today.

Person B: "Oh, I'm livid."
Person A: "But you don't... look like you are?"
Person B: "That's because I have a good temper. Take notes."

obsessed where stories where it is like. the mistakes are unfixable and the worst thing that could happen happened and nothing can go back to how it was. but there was still love in this and love will continue after this and love endures always.

Me looking at my almost finished scene...and my character who has decided to dirty talk exposition dump...
It's hot, but it's supposed to be tying up here.
My average writing experience:
"Alright I think I'm almost done actually-"
*Google doc grows second health bar and a choir starts singing in latin*

Interesting problem to have...
I struggle somehow with writing short. My current WIP is supposed to be a 5+1 kind of thing, with each installment being a kind of single scene interaction.
Except...I found out it won't canonically fit where I planned for it to fit.
I had a scenario that I thought would be fun, and built it up to carry the scene.
The problem, is that this has now turned into a multi-day adventure and is sitting at over 13k words and could easily be a fic in its own right.
So, do I drop the whole thing in to the 5+1 and let it be a monstrous chapter? Or do I pull out the scene for the 5+1 and publish it as a separate fic?
A lot of articles I've read today say that readers prefer smaller installments that can be read in five to ten minutes.

Ao3 readers insight!
My fic will end up as 150k words to 200k words
A question that comes to my mind is:
Do readers get overwhelmed with the word count since "fast reading" is in trend these days.
