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.

fandom: omori
pairing(s): sunny/basil
summary:
Sunny grew up on Sunday school stories.
Sometimes, when he lays with Basil, he still thinks of them.
(Or: Sunny, after living with Basil for months, had started to get used to him turning the stove-tops on and back off again.)
new fic who dis (i'm kind of proud of this one ngl)

"Sunny," Basil's voice said. Close to him - like a voice murmuring in his ear - but not really of him.
They both stood there, for a moment. Silent specters. Staring at each other, disbelieving.
i forgot what they were wearing. anyways this scene is in my head so ofc i had to draw this shit.
@betweendisorders im so sorry if this (tagging u) is not proper etiquette on fanfic fanart

all we did was kiss!
fandom: deltarune
pairing(s): noelle holiday/kris
summary:
Kris - out of pity, Noelle presumes - asks her to spend their study block together, to keep her mind off Susie not even showing up for Valentine's. Which is good, because she was otherwise absolutely going to spend the whole block sulking about that.
The idea that this invitation isn't platonic never occurs to her.
this fic was inspired by @wirtthecowboy's art of the same caption, which can be found here. this art's so good y'all, wish i could write a better fic inspired by it

Hi! Just wanted to say that I just finished reading your deltarune fics on ao3, and I absolutely loved them. They just had so much heart and soul on display, I could feel the love in them. Kris and Noelle felt so real, so genuine, it really plucked at my heartstrings... Thank you for writing them, genuinely. Someday I'd like to write like that. Have a good day!
oh,, thank you
i'm not the best at responding to compliments but this made my day.. and im sure you will write as well as me, if not better, before long. all i've got is practice, really, and not even that much of it. that's really all you need - a decent bit of practice.
it never feels like you're talented or impressive at these things, because it comes naturally, and because you'll still struggle to improve and to phrase things the way you want; but you are talented, and you are impressive. all that matters is that you care about what you're making. write ten minutes today, write one sentence tomorrow, write a paragraph when you get a fit of inspiration, and you'll be doing so much more than most anyone else - and before long you'll be as good as me, or anyone else with a decent bit of practice. just in your own way
