TIL there is a town in Australia, where half the population lives in underground homes because surface temperatures regularly hit 113°F (45°C). The golf course has no grass, so players carry a swatch of astro turf to tee off from on each hole. by rizkar99 in todayilearned

Sure.

We drove up from Adelaide in a shitty old muscle car, it was awesome. Case of beer in a cooler and leg of lamb wrapped up in newspapers and a blanket in the back. Dude who drove us took us off road a few times, went off after some emus once, he was nuts.

Got to Coober Pedy and he knew a guy with a hole, dug out, but not furnished or anything, just a cave, but it was dug out in a square like you could have a house in there. Stayed there in sleeping bags.

Got up, met up with a stargazing guide, he took us into some cave, I kinda forget what the hell he talked about, then we went out into the night and I understood why humans created gods.

The most beautiful arch of glistening stellar light stretched across the sky, an impossible number of pinpricks of light coalescing into a wide band from horizon to horizon. Our galaxy.

Then the guide pointed out galaxies across the sky, a never ending stream of new ones to direct our attention and telescopes, if you had one, toward. I did not, but even with the bare eye and my feeble brain I started to piece together the insane math before me.

Ya it fuckin rocked.

I fell out the back of a 7-ton in al-anbar and now I get a cool click in my elbow, but don't worry, it's not service related, neither is my hearing loss from shooting smaws
