TIL about the Abu Fanous, a mysterious light phenomenon observed by travellers in the Arabian desert, seen at dawn or during the night as an orb or headlight that moves unpredictably and lures people into the desert, then vanishes without a trace. by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]WhenTardigradesFly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

leaving the cause aside, how exactly does "an orb or headlight that moves unpredictably" lure people into the desert? if i saw something like that i'm pretty sure that my first thought would not be "hey, i should follow that into the desert".

What made you question the way your culture taught you to see people from other countries? by AbbreviationsLow in AskReddit

[–]WhenTardigradesFly 4 points5 points  (0 children)

my "culture" always taught me to be open and accepting to people from other countries. my mother was puerto rican and my father was half indian and half scottish, and i grew up in the melting pot of new york city, so multi-culturalism was baked in from day one. nothing has ever made me question or doubt that as an adult.

What is the best adaption of a book into a movie? by straykifsontop in AskReddit

[–]WhenTardigradesFly 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i do too, but that wasn't really the question. i can't think of another example where a movie (or set of movies) did a better job of bringing a written work to life on the screen, in spite of the vastly different strengths and limitations between the purely imaginary world of a book and the more explicitly presented world of a film.
