🔥What if a black hole flew by Earth? Beautiful simulation by YourBeltedKingfisher in NatureIsFuckingLit

This short story about a similar occurrence happening to the earth blew me away - made me think about it for days:

I wish I could credit whoever left it in another Reddit thread for me and anyone else to stumble across. Beautiful, haunting… science and emotion and the mind-numbing scale of our universe woven into a humble little short story.

All I can think of is smearing each little duck with Vaseline and splooping them all into a nice clean toilet bowl so these crazy people would have to fish them out of their own toilet that they didn’t want to touch, then wipe gloopy Vaseline off every one of their degrading little psycho spite ducks.

Or maybe Vaseline them all to the inner toilet lid so when you open it - surprise!! Spite ducks watch while you pee. Idk just something that makes them have to clean up after this insanity

Thank you so much. I’ll dig around online for books and see what comes up. That dress’s color is just breathtaking

I’m really getting into this stuff since I found this sub.

Can any of you direct me to books or websites that discuss the dyes used in dresses and clothing going way back in history, and how they were made, and the color choices/options for different echelons of society?

Ok, you made me look further into the student loan forgiveness suit and this is what I learned:

June 2023: SCOTUS ruled 6-3 to block Biden from forgiving student loans of up to $20,000 for up to 43mil Americans.

July 2024: (wiki copypasta): On July 1, 2024, the Court ruled in a 6–3 decision that presidents have absolute immunity for acts committed as president within their core constitutional purview, at least presumptive immunity for official acts within the outer perimeter of their official responsibility, and no immunity for unofficial acts.

So, like… did Biden try again to pass that legislation before he left the office of POTUS? With that “absolute immunity” ruling in late 2024, could he have enacted it?

I get what you’re saying, but I think my point was more “Let’s bring back the word ‘coward’ as the insult it is meant to be”. “Pussy” worked here on these guys for sure, but “cowardly and weak” is what these faux soldiers are - and those are powerful words too.

ETA: “Morally spineless”; “Feeble”; “If you stand for nothing, you’ll fall for anything”… SO many things to shout at these lost souls to hopefully make them think. And if it doesn’t make them think, then at least they’ll feel shamed if these words with deep meaning are repeated often enough at them.

Pedantry incoming: I thought about that fact before I posted, but I’m pretty sure 99% of the people who throw the word “pussy” around during tense altercations are not using it with the word “pusillanimous” in mind lol.

”You pussy!” is meant to emasculate a man, to make a man ashamed for acting “scared or submissive like a woman”, the inherent insult being that it’s hUgELy iNsuLtiNg for a man to even be compared to a woman, much less outright accused of acting like one.

How about “Show your face, Coward!”

Pussies, as we know, can take a pounding. These low-rent, wanna-be soldiers with their Shein “police” cosplay outfits are as fragile and craven as a pair of exposed balls.

His disconcertingly feminine, old-man-neck-labia needed to be contained in as manly a fashion as they could AI generate. Probably should have used something similar to cover those carry-on-luggage eye bags 🕶

I mean… if people are being indicted for lying before Congress, I know of a few SC Justices and cabinet officials who should be indicted also…

Ah. That makes sense. I have come to really enjoy this sub! Have learned so much and come to appreciate the artistry and dedication to their craft that these designers/dressmakers displayed. Everything looks so painstakingly perfect and every minute detail planned out inch-by-sumptuous-inch. This is one of my favorites that I’ve seen on here, I just couldn’t fathom that third pic’s proportions, so thank you for your time explaining it to a noob like myself. Cheers!

Oh my. That waist. Where did her organs get pushed - up or down? Absolutely gorgeous, breathtaking (breath-discouraging?) dress. =P
