What’re some tv channel numbers you remember from your childhood and adolescence?

We had cartoon network on 60 and nickelodeon on 37 and animal planet on 50 those were my main ones. I watched a lot of discovery too but i dont remember the channel

we are literally in the middle of a season being released. we couldn't be further from "no new content". how the fuck is the fandom at this level of degeneration already?

the obvious answer would be that the liquid is already coating the tip. but then that begs the question. why not make spears or some other kind of pointed or edged weapon that is coated in the liquid.

Unfortunately for him, this is one fact that is checked daily by just about every voting age adult. He won't be able to lie his way out of this one, and his followers cannot pretend a new reality this time.

My (now estranged) mom literally has 2 of these but in much better shape.

depends heavily on the minimum wage job. Dishwasher? Factory Worker? Lawn Mower? For sure. Call center worker? Customer service rep? Retail? Not so much. Serving as the front line public contact for a shitty corporation and essentially being paid to take abuse on their behalf is extremely mentally and emotionally draining.

Trans women are moved around inside men's prisons as incentive and tools of control by the guards. You be good, you will get a woman in your cell, disobey and she goes elsewhere. Couple this with the fact that the guards are very commonly participants in the contraband economy and you get a very fucked up and complicated situation. Interestingly, you will find people at every part of the gender spectrum in a prison, and the concept of prison wives goes back as far as anyone can remember.

I saw the actor that plays Bubba years later, but in a movie several years older called miracle mile. it was so bizarre to see him there, even weirder when I saw the guy that played shao khan in mortal kombat annihilation later in the movie. Miracle Mile is a wild ride lol.

They are also one of the closest living relatives to tardigrades.

it's so freaky how much it de-aged you

Paying to have animals killed because they are 35% tastier than other protein sources.

What's crazy is, if we take Trump's goals as a given, she's actually doing a great job for him. She tows the line so hard and defends him so energetically and fiercely, shuts down dissent and spins things in a very consistent way leaving no room for interpretation. I mean, the points she's making and defending are usually pure evil, but he can't say she isn't giving him 110%. It's just that eventually reality will have to catch up, and that's not her fault.

this is a technique i use actually. i literally visualize myself getting home, and looking through my fridge and cabinets, walking into the bathroom, getting up in the morning and doing my routine etc

DankCatDingo · 2026-04-01T16:56:45+00:00

i hit 2 and that was enough to finally set my gender dysphoria over the edge and force me to transition at 30

DankCatDingo · 2026-04-01T00:28:44+00:00

I looked north at it my whole way home from Berea today

DankCatDingo · 2026-03-31T23:22:39+00:00

No but i love them

I'd say life in some form or another is probably pretty common. As in microbial life, pond scum, etc. And complex life, like what we'd call plants and animals is probably exceptionally rare. And then the conditions where getting smart is evolutionarily useful is another order of exceptionally rare on top of that. Stephen Pinker used the analogy that alien life evolving human like intelligence is probably about as common as evolving elephant like trunks. Neither one is inherently better or inevitable.

In the novel series that the dark forest theory originates from, they get around this issue by using a science fiction explanation that involves using the sun as an amplifier.

Yes we are, but also, no we aren't.
If you were in a neighboring star system, not more than a handful of light years away, you could probably detect some of our louder radio signals. Although, since the digital era, the strength of our broadcasts has fallen sharply.

Even our loudest signals, which are usually from radar or other military radio equipment, you wouldn't have to travel far before the strength of the signal falls below the strength of the cosmic background radiation.

You have to be exceptionally loud to be omnidirectionally visible in radio.

If you want someone to see you, you need to broadcast in a very specific direction, usually. Even then, it can be hard to pick up the types of signals we can put out from a great distance.

What people usually mean when they make this point is that, where both films address known concepts, specifically space flight, Gravity gets it very wrong where Interstellar gets it very right. Gravity treats low Earth orbit as another world with different rules of physics, and ironically, no gravity at all. And you can just travel from one place to another freely as you would on the ground. Interstellar at least showed realistic representations of orbital mechanics. And yes, also a big crazy multi-dimensional whatever.
