  • This is absolutely foolish. Resistance training is good for everyone, not just dumb jock cisheads.

    If you’re going to grow old, you’ll thank yourself every day of your life if you train up mobility. You’ll be an 80 year old still walking around under your own power instead of one feebly fumbling for your life alert when the challenge of two consecutive steps defeats you.


  • Get some… uhh, I’m not sure what they’re called, but they’re elastic bands with little cloth clamps on the ends, like suspenders. A pack should have three shorter ones and a long one. You clamp them along the underside of your mattress to the fitted sheets and they keep the sheets from bunching.

    A little bit of a pain to deal with when it’s time to change the sheets, but so worth it to not sleep on wrinkles.







  • What about the 50000 other people that would happily travel a day for $40 to tap that? Huh??

    You might solve your problem, but you’re creating a much bigger issue.

    Someone with this level of short sightedness is exactly how we get barely baked “AI” still resulting in millions losing their jobs, smh.

    You try getting video from something that, within 30 minutes, accelerates to 18000 MPH. Literally, it will change what frequencies you even have to listen to, let alone the crazy amount of interference experienced during the process of exiting thr atmosphere.

    Literally, the air compressing and ignighting against the shell of the space craft itself will produce crazy signals, let alone every other effect.

    There is a reason it took even SpaceX over a decade to keep signals remotely intelligable with their booster recoveries, let alone launches aimed directly at the moon.




  • The bigger problem is Earth is gooey at scale. Seriously, the mantle, which is most of Earth’s mass, is gooey rock. “shattering” as if it were solid simply isn’t going to happen. Most of the Earth is like thick caramel or worse as far as “shattering” is concerned.

    The best you could hope for is something like how the moon formed; an impact (very) roughly 10x less than the gravitational binding energy of the Earth itself (which is crazy in and of itself!). If you’ll note, the Earth ‘survived’ that impact, but was forever changed in significant ways.

    What’s even crazier, is that Earth had single celled organisms growing on it less than 500 million years later! For reference, the oldest mountain ranges are 2-3x older in relative terms.


  • A very large asteroid (>500km) would be a good attempt at ‘shattering’. (much like how the moon formed, in theory) Otherwise, a “small” black hole or other cosmic-scale forces would do the trick. A near by blazar would easily sterilize the planet if it were aimed at us, but there are none such objects we have yet observed. (luckily)

    The sun itself is easily capable of smearing Earth out, but the real question is “how?”. Even a crazy CME aimed directly at Earth would barely be able to wipe out technology, let alone life. A close call with another solar system would definitely stand a solid chance of wiping out life as we know it, but it wouldn’t necessarily be terribly quick.

    It’d be very predictable in that we’d be able to see another solar system coming for decades/centuries/longer, and many changes would still be longer than a human lifespan (outside of the final ‘kick’ event, which could be over in a matter of weeks/months and leave the surface freezing and potentially devoid of much atmosphere).



  • lol no. Genuinely, no. You are a clueless fool playing with numbers you cannot comprehend.

    Even earthquakes within recorded history have released more energy than 10 gigatons. By an order of magnitude.

    You are seriously a fool that does not begin to fathom the scale of Earth.

    Look up how much energy the Valdivia, Chile earthquake in 1960 released and get back to me. Again, you petulant child failing to comprehend the topic…
