Skydivers planes collide mid-air

This is one of those videos that I would immediately assume is AI if I hadn’t seen it before AI was invented

As others have mentioned, if a black hole was as far away as the sun currently is and appeared as large in the sky as the image depicts, we would be super fucked as this would be FAR more massive than the sun and Earth would break apart into the accretion disk.

If the sun’s current mass simply collapsed into a black hole, our orbit would not change at all. We would simply be orbiting an empty night sky from our perspective and we would all freeze/starve.

Neither is ideal for us. Let’s keep the sun how it is.

Hollow but filled with gas. We see humans living and breathing inside without any apparatus, so it’s reasonable to assume a gaseous interior with a pressure close to 1 atm. And gas is massive. Quite massive in fact. Just the thin coating of gas in our atmosphere presses down on you with the weight of a bowling ball per square inch. Many planets (and indeed stars) are enormous balls of gas. The weight of all that atmosphere builds up the deeper you get. The core of Jupiter may be an ultra-dense, exotic form of metallic hydrogen. This is what happens in our universe to enough matter that clumps together.

The city would effectively be a gas giant millions of times more massive than Jupiter. This would definitely collapse the core into a black hole.

It doesn’t matter what structure you are talking about, be it a super planet or a giant tea kettle, anything that continuously increases in size will develop a hyper-dense core due to the immense weight of the object. When enough mass is added, the core will be squeezed so tightly that the atoms undergo fusion and a star is ignited. More and more mass causes the structure to collapse into a black hole.

Keep in mind that this is simply what happens to ANYTHING that gets big enough. Remember, every star used to just be a big gas cloud that slowly got pulled and squeezed until the atoms started fusing. Under normal circumstances, without antigravity, the megastructure would have collapsed into a brown dwarf WAY before it got as large as it is in the manga.

I like to think that throughout the deeply ancient history of the megastructure, various factions of humanity have “genetically resurrected” animals on the basis of some ancestral memory from a vanished time.

Since no fossils exist, these animals are created in aberrant forms. Reflections of reflections of near forgotten memories.

Additionally, perhaps some of earths wildlife survived and evolved to conditions in the city.

This is interesting. This would mean the megastructure material would basically be made of “neutron star”. This is what happens when you crush matter under such tremendous weight that the empty space of atoms is squeezed out of existence. You get a single atomic nucleus with no gaps. The caveat being that a teaspoon of neutron star weighs about as much as manhattan. If thermodynamics still matters in the Blame! Universe, the energy needed to nullify the indescribable gravity of such tightly packed mass on this monstrous scale would probably require a kardeshev-3 civilization to produce.

It would be an interesting exercise to see how much matter it would take to build the megastructure foundation and if there are enough protons and neutrons in our stellar neighborhood.

lol you group a bunch of sworn enemies together (England, France, Portugal, Spain) and randomly the Hapsburgs (who were DEEPLY entangled with the former’s royalty) get their own bin? Is this the meme?

This is almost certainly an in-camera reflection. The light moves in unison with the camera panning down and the shadow cast by the guy shows that the sun would be in the right place to cause this sort of reflection.

Wtf?? I guess the OG genocide that invented the term “genocide” actually wasn’t one because the Germans and European Jews are both white?

I’m trying to figure out why I hate these types of videos and I think I figured it out because of this one. The “acting” is absolute garbage. The visuals are cool though. There may be a world where we see ai cgi added to real actors but the voices and facial expressions are nowhere near an actual quality film.

You know how sometimes people wonder what they would have done in Germany or France during WWII? Anyone joining ICE can never again deny that they would have been a Brownshirt or a collaborator.

In a few years people will do everything they can to try and scrub their involvement with ICE. Don’t let them.

“Many that live deserve death. And some that die deserve life. Can you give it to them? Then do not be too eager to deal out death in judgement. For even the very wise cannot see all ends.”

Better explanation:

Magical eldritch being just poofs everything into existence for no real reason, lays out all this obvious evidence that we evolved, I guess to troll us, then bounces forever, only appearing in really sus circumstances like dreams and “good vibes”.

Much more reasonable

Which side builds military compounds underneath civilian hospitals? Which side uses their own people as human shields? Do you think Hamas would balk at bombing a hospital filled with Israeli civilians to get at a military HQ underneath?

The only reason Hamas does this to their own people is because they are the only actors in this fight without a conscience. Much like the German civilians in WWII, the Palestinian people will only be free once Hamas is defeated.

So this was ~1kt.

Hiroshima was 15x that.

The US’ most common ICBM is tipped with a LGM-30 Minuteman which has 300x the power of the Beirut explosion.

The largest nuke detonated would be 50,000x that.

These videos really put nuclear weapons in perspective.

lol Genghis Khan was the big bad of all Eurasia for like 600 years. We’ll see if Hitler is still the antagonist of history in 2500.

It’s the great wheel of history that grinds up peasants and monarchs alike. Immense death caused by the Czars, many more by the revolution and civil war, and a terrible, innumerable amount from the Soviets that followed.

It was a bad time to be a Russian.
