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.

Why yes I AM capable of incredible violence
But unlike some I keep my rage in check
By drawing pretty pictures and watching magical girl shows
Y'know, like a proper adult

The anti-car culture on this website is so fucking annoying. Like, sorry I want to be able to get around without having to spend two hours taking three buses. Sorry I want to be able to go grocery shopping in the winter without having to lug heavy bags home through the snow on a fucking bike

Splatoon/side order fans should get excited for what I’ve been working on; Color Chip Pride Pins!!! More info down below!!!
(Reblogs are highly appreciated)
Each pin will be printed on a combination of white acrylic and clear frosted acrylic, giving off an appearence really similar to how the color chips look in game! There will be pins attatched to the back so you can stick em wherever you want! If these spark enough interest, I’ll probably price them at $10 a piece.
If you wanna see these go up for sale on my shop, please spread this post!

Alright, it happened again
LISTEN UP
Empathy is not learned behavior
Apathy is!
Humans are inherently kind, this kindness can and is stunted by the environment one lives in
Mostly because of survival or to fit in
Saying Empathy is a learned trait is like saying the sky isn't blue
These people I swear to god

It's hard to overstate how much of a phenomenon Spongebob Squarepants was. I have in my mind that it was a latecomer to the golden years of Nickelodeon animation, following highlights like Rugrats, but I can't really argue with the fifteen seasons, three feature films, the Braodway musical, and whatever else Spongebob there is that I don't know about.
And the Barbie.
Tumblr media
Barbie Loves Spongebob was a 2002 Barbie featuring the lady herself in a Spongebob shirt and trousers featuring Spongebob jellyfishing.
But sorry, did I say Barbie? I meant Barbies.
Tumblr media
Spongebob Squarepants bobble buddy Barbie is a surfing Barbie in a Spongebob-themed swimsuit, with her pal Spongebob and a cardboard cutout of Patrick Star.
Two Barbies was not enough for the sponge though.
Tumblr media
Spongebob Squarepants Barbie has a third different Spongebob themed outfit, with a different Spongebob top and plain yellow pants. She also features a Spongebob keychain.
Not to mention the Kelly and Tommy Spongebob and Patrick.
Tumblr media
Which are adorable, but really puzzling.
They're more unsettling the more you zoom in.

OK SO Imagine being an alien historian coming through the data-slates left by humanity and having to decipher what touching grass meant. like How do you get from consuming something til it became detremental to touching a common plant?? Is it for enrichment?? Aren't they trying to get less enrichment??? Is it self imposed harm???? A punishment for those of heightened addiction???
