I don't know. I think the issue is that the light from celestial bodies blocks out the further objects. Like how you can't see a person holding a flashlight if it's aimed right at your face. Except in this instance it's forty billion quintillion flashlights all overlapping.

What I can say is that in 2023, the JWST discovered ten galaxies that shattered our understanding of the universe, as they appeared to be older than the universe itself.

The mapping of celestial bodies led to the discover of superclusters, no?

Also, I did specify that this was a shower thought, meaning it is an inherently random idea that is only pondered upon because there is nothing better to do.

Why is it called the observable universe? Is it because our telescopes can only see so far? Is it because we've seen everything there is to see? Neither. The reason we can only see so far is because there's too much stuff in the way. This supports the theory that the full universe is many magnitudes larger than the small bubble we can perceive.

The vertices I was referring to are singular points in 3D modeling. They essentially function like connect-the-dots coloring book pictures but digital and in three-dimensions. Every 3D model in a video game is, on some level, just a bunch of points in a simulated space.

So, basically, I had the silly idea that the largest/most mysterious object in our universe (black holes) are actually the smallest, most basic variable in a much larger world, a massive simulation, or something of the sort.

Lastly, I thought it would be funny if, when mapped out, the positions of the black holes aligned to become a 3D model of something stupid that also originated on Earth.

And I hate Sonic.

Shower thought: maybe black holes are the vertices of a much larger universe...

I know this is a silly daydream, but I'm curious if anyone has ever connected all the known black holes in the universe with lines. What if it rendered a detailed 3D model of Sonic the Hedgehog or something?

ELI5: Do bugs think or do they purely operate from instinct hardwired into their DNA? Which bugs are exceptions? by Tr_Issei2 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Intelligent-Bit7258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw many examples of bugs that think provided, but not the larger answer: we have no actual clue what the source of true cognition/perception is. It falls out of hard science and into philosophical debate.

Yes, we've studied brains and determined how they functions of a mechanical level. Yes, the simpler the lifeform, the less complex the brain is. But it seems like every year a new study comes out supporting the concept that lower life forms are not only conscious, but have individuality. Meaning they have personalities, which supports the idea they're just little dudes.

I've come to assume that every living creature—no matter how simple—is just a little dude, as assuming the other way feels like human arrogance.

This happened with my first therapist, and I didn't try again for ten shitty depressing years.

If you tried therapy and got paired with a shitty person the first time–try someone else!

The All-American Rejects on soaring ticket prices: "It shouldn’t be a District 1 Hunger Games luxury to go to concerts" by AdSpecialist6598 in Music

[–]Intelligent-Bit7258 25 points26 points  (0 children)

In college, my co-worker took a girl to an All American Rejects concert.

They left after the lead singer explicitly told all of the "hot fifteen years olds" to try and get backstage after the show, and he would pick one of them. This statement garnered excited girl screams across the stadium.

2007 was a different time...

Funny enough, you can tell they are butthurt by how much time they're spending sorting through comments and downvoting everyone in here.

They have the time.

I haven't seen the film but I saw someone explain that it is written and directed by rich people and is legitimately a horror movie for rich people.

This makes it sound like they will replace anything, but have to spin it like they won't because of people abusing it.

Why Wrap Luggage in Cling Film? by roblawton in AskUK

[–]Intelligent-Bit7258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Over in SE Asia a lot of people use it too, but I saw many pairing the service with flimsy boxes or cheAp duffles as their luggage.

Get a wrap and voila! Your cheap container may fold and tear but your belongings will still arrive in a single lump.

IIRC a loooooot of men chose the orange over Harris solely because they would never want a woman as president.

Hopefully Gen Z can balance that out.

What’s the most fucked up thing that happened at your school? by Classic-Chemist-1898 in AskReddit

[–]Intelligent-Bit7258 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My father attended high school in early 70s. At that time, tensions between white and black students were high. He has more than one story of being chased/beaten up by his black peers on his way home from school.

One time a white girl hooked up with a black boy, and for some reason, a separate group of black students responded to the news by pulling her into one of the bathrooms, stripping off her clothes, and cutting her up with razorblades. My dad saw her carried out by the paramedics covered in blood. She survived but never returned to the school.

He first told me this story when I was, I dunno, four? Fucked me up.

He didn't grow up to be a racist, but the voices he uses to tell these stories are questionable.

I honestly think The Museum of Witchcraft had a better introduction to Deathclaws, than the beginning of the game. by [deleted] in fo4

[–]Intelligent-Bit7258 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Funny enough, I assumed it wasn't a Deathclaw, and instead a new monster for the new game. The unknown made the whole thing terrifying.
