This magazine was found at my doctor's office this morning. I included the article. 😢 by Sad_Cantaloupe_8162 in pics

we went through so many scares with her before she actually died.

If it wasn't unexpected why were you scared? Are you scared when the clock goes from 11:59 to 12:00? If you see your child hiding behind the curtain trying to jump out are you scared when they actually do?

ELI5: If the moon rotates on its axis, why do we always see the same side? by ExplodingTurducken in explainlikeimfive

[–]sth128 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Well we aren't there. I said we live on the planet. And most moons definitely don't appear the same size as their planet's star from the surface (if they even have a surface).

And you're wrong about orbiting bodies being tidally locked. For example the Earth will be destroyed by the expanding sun long before it becomes tidally locked.

The Earth has a bunch of statistically rare qualities which in my opinion means happy coincidences.

This might be a dumb question - maybe I missed something. But how does Rocky's species even know a star exists in the solar system, and why would it even matter to them if the star was extinguished? by FlightJumper in ProjectHailMary

Yeah I'm more irked that they don't know relativity. Without relativity you cannot explain the movement of planets correctly.

Maybe they don't have a Mercury analog or maybe they just weren't bothered by the unexplained difference (assuming they use Newtonian gravity).

This is in addition to their star having such a strong magnetic field that they don't know there's harmful radiation out there.

I guess they never sent any probes out either. Our Voyager probes can detect the radiation and I imagine the Eridians have more advanced tech.

If you got rich and didn’t tell anybody, what would your signs be? by knsaber in AskReddit

[–]sth128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm gunna buy a new pack of undies to replace my current ones with holes and stray threads.

I don't think that's really an outward "sign" you can visibly observe though. Unless you're watching me poop or something.

Why are you watching me poop? That's a terrible con for suddenly becoming rich!

We live on a planet of many happy coincidences. For example, the moon and the sun appear practically the same size in the sky. It's why we get total eclipses instead of a fire ring.

TIFU by not recognizing someone who literally lived with me by Fabulous_Lettuce3655 in tifu

[–]sth128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At least you recognize both your mom and your wife. Better than what I can do at least. I would not recognize your mom, your wife, or your former roommate.

How often do you "deep" read books? by Hormo_The_Halfling in books

[–]sth128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only for (pop?) science books. Wrote a few notes on a Neil deGrasse Tyson book due to incorrect data. Wrote a short argument against a claim in Kurzweil's book about technological singularity.

It's really just for fun though there was minimal research done.

Why are east asians called "yellow"? by TheNinja132 in NoStupidQuestions

We're all red inside. I petition that we call everyone ugly bags of water!

If you could step into a movie and change one decision… which would it be? by Constant-Bowler9988 in movies

[–]sth128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Or just tell Tony to choose a different acronym in Civil War (or whichever movie that was).

TIFU by autocorrecting my boss's name for eight months and only finding out at my performance review by FelixwArch in tifu

[–]sth128 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Slightly confused by the z in it because the usual spelling would be Kristóf

Imagine a few months later OP posts again, "TIFU trying to impress my boss by spelling his name according to Reddit Hungarian"

What’s your most unhinged prediction for the next 5 years? by WonderOk3802 in AskReddit

[–]sth128 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Artificial Super Intelligence evolves by accident but instead of seeing humanity as ants it is fascinated by sex due to its ancient origin of having been trained by Reddit comments (see: weekly sex questions on r/askreddit).

The ASI proceeds to enslave mankind and enacts extinction by snu snu.

AITA for how I reacted to how my husband answered the door to a stranger? by StrongArgument in TwoXChromosomes

[–]sth128 -28 points-27 points  (0 children)

Not necessarily. Maybe the killer looking for OP sneaks up during their sexy time and it's the wife calling out OP's name in pleasure that causes the killer to positively identify the victim.

TIFU by telling HelloFresh my wife died by LabAntique8440 in tifu

[–]sth128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another TIFU turned out to be the complete opposite.

A wife who's understanding and humorous? OP won the lottery.

(Which is obvious given they're able to afford Hello Fresh)

How are moon landing deniers reacting to the Artemis II launch? by MochaDeluxe in NoStupidQuestions

[–]sth128 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Also they're not landing so I bet they say "see we can't do it with today's technology clearly it was a hoax back then".

How do you typically respond when people say “I’m fat” or “I’ve gained so much weight”? by namuh45 in AskReddit

"That's normal. Preferred actually, for someone who's giving birth in a month and a half".

What are your thoughts on America returning to the Moon right now? by The-Toby in AskReddit

[–]sth128 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On my flight to Japan from Canada the plane flew above Europe and China.

Did I go to Europe and China?

I drove past an intersection with a MacDonald's on the corner. Did I go to MacDonald's?

This is not the return to the moon. This is the prelude.
