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.

so idk if any of ya'll knew but apparently Voyager 1 has been out of contact with nasa for the past five months and contact has only just been reestablished! it takes 22.5 hours to send messages to Voyager 1 and another 22.5 to receive messages back. this little machine has been telling us about instellar space (space between systems) for years now and a chip responsible for sending the data packages stopped working so nasa scientists figured a work around that actually managed to work and now, now little Voyager 1 is going to be able to talk to us again.

like i'm so genuinely happy about this and like we really are the generation that fell in love with little robot explorers aren't we

This machine kills AI

no offence but the reason tumblr is “dying” is, well, yes, of course the cursed like/reblog ratio and the change in user behaviour (because of people being used to how instagram and tiktok work) BUT also the lack of weekly shows. i say it with my whole chest, they don't produce captivating and engaging stupid weekly tv shows anymore because streaming killed that so you have spikes of activity here when Something happens in general fandom or up to three days after a new season of whatever drops and then it's a wasteland. this is obviously an old woman yelling at a cloud missing supernatural and the vampire diaries and pretty little liars and all these other shows type of post but honestly give me back weekly tv shows where i have something to watch for 40 minutes almost every day of the week after work so then i can read and reblog it on tumblr give it back for the sake of my sanity

It’s so funny how Crowley is constantly saying “nothing to do with me! The humans thought of that themselves!” about various human atrocities. Oh no, that’s terrible, who gave humans the idea to think for themselves? We’re all trying to find the guy who did this.

What's your stance on the issues?

on every single one?

funny phrases to use when something goes wrong instead of jokingly saying "i'm going to kms":

i'm going to kill god

i'm going to delete my blog

i'm going to explode

i'm going to blow up this entire website

i'm going to become the joker

this is going to be my villain origin story

feel free to add on

ohh golden boy

it's extremely concerning to me how much antisemitism is bred in the notes of some pro-palestinian posts, and it seems like a lot of leftists have been avoiding the topic. so this is a psa for anyone involved!!

calling for the death of all jews will not liberate palestine

none of us are free until all of us are free; if you don't support all oppressed peoples, you don't support any

jewish people and palestinians aren't responsible for the genocide. the blood is on israel's hands, and attacking random people on the internet for a perceived connection with israel or palestine is not activism

palestinian babies are not terrorists, and israeli babies aren't nazis. scapegoating children is fucking awful

the suffering and oppression of palestinian people is NOT a vessel for your antisemitism

as someone who's lived in the u.s. my entire life, i have a lot of internalized racism, and unpacking that has been + will continue to be extremely important for me. my knee-jerk reactions to things are often wrong and that's okay! if we as members of a community don't admit where we're wrong, we won't grow, and growth is the goal of leftism. antisemitism isn't over. i'm an agnostic satanist, but i've been the target of antisemitic insults on quite a few occasions, and that's nothing compared to what jewish people face. intersectionality is so important for leftism. please don't let your activism swing back around to hatred, and please listen when jewish people call you out for antisemitism and when palestinian people call you out for racism

tldr: antisemitism in the name of palestine is bad and doesn't help the people in gaza. obviously.

who can relate

lol i hate today’s era of absolutely zero nuance takes. a friend didn’t behave exactly as you’d wanted them to? cut them off. a guy didn’t text you back instantly bc he has his own life? he’s just giving you breadcrumbs. doing something makes you uncomfortable? don’t do it anymore. someone isn’t instantly available for you? disinterest. just absolutist statements that often don’t apply to the multilayer situations of everyday life. like. stop. literally just stop it

Ok so first of all, I wanted to thank you all for your warm welcome here on tumblr !! Y’all are so sweet fr 😭💖 I read all your sweet comments and hashtag, and I’m happy to join the madhouse ❤️‍🔥 still trying to understand how tumblr works, I come from Twitter and instagram it’s very different haha, but love you 🫶

Then, I gotta say, it’s not the first time I’m pretty quick to draw Crowley in DT’s outfit, actually did this one an hour after seeing the outfit for Comic Releif 😤 it was so Crowley coded I couldn’t resist-

“the worst he could say is no!” crowley one second before learning his crush is now the ceo of amazon

you: suck my dick me, an intellectual: inhale my richard
