So there are two correct but very different answers to this question, then, right? One for an outside observer and another from the perspective of the black hole?
- Comment on How long would it take a black Hole to fully absorb a person from event horizon to center of the earth style? 2 days ago:
This assumes time remains constant, though, right? But isn’t time affected by the black hole?

I’d love to see this make an appearance in the Fallout LA series. It would be so appropriate in that time period, and especially so because of the nuclear metaphor. This really seems like something that would become popular in the Fallout universe.

This has always bothered me. I’m a C cup, so most fashion is made for me to show cleavage.
But I’ve done some fashion design (mostly historical fashion), and I’ve seriously wondered why larger bust sizes have such outsized undergarments. Like more than seems necessary.

Most fashion trends come back around every 20 years or so, but this one hasn’t for some reason:

I could see this meaning something more – and even something inclusive – if the environment is part of the design; for a moment I considered the steep looking sand bank.
If that’s part of the art, then this makes much more sense. I’ve lived places where the landscape changes a lot throughout the year, though, so I sort of ignored the background and took the bench itself in isolation.
Maybe that’s where I fucked up.

I didn’t assume malice, but ignorance. And not malicious ignorance, either.
Given this is a public installation, though, I was giving my interpretation.
- Comment on Hostile architecture 1 week ago:
But what this art says to me, as a wheelchair user, is something completely different because this design is the opposite of inclusive. Is that what is meant?
This design says I should be excluded – taking it as art, this design communicates everyone having conversations and leaving me out, because that back bar will exclude me by design.
If I’m to socialise, I should be on one end or the other, but that middle part means I’ll be artificially excluded by the environment.
Is that what it’s meant to mean?

They couldn’t, though. Because of the space the back of the chair and the radius of the wheels requires, the person in the chair would be sitting at least a foot in front of anyone seated on the bench.
- Comment on Hostile architecture 1 week ago:
as well as practically.
X doubt.
This is worse than nothing, because (as a wheelchair user) there’s like 6 inches or so of clearance behind the chair. That back rail means you can’t back up to get yourself in line with your compatriots,so you’ll be in front of and misaligned with the people on either side, such that they’re literally talking behind your back.
If this design was in earnest, it’s godawful and just shows the designer had no idea what they were doing.
If it’s an art project, then I can appreciate it. If it was meant to be practical, it’s a major fail.

Proper etiquette requires some degree of suction, which is also kinda sexy ngl
- Comment on Water time 1 week ago:
Counterpoint: it’s super manly to just own it and not worry about how you look. Whether you do tiny laps like a cat or big ol’ slurps like a dog, having the confidence to just hydrate yourself and not care who’s watching is kinda sexy, ngl

Why the fuck would I get out of the way? It’s 2026, after all. A trolley running me over would be the good outcome.

Glad to help! I try to post this every year because it’s amazing how common this is, and it’s a pleasant boost after the holiday slump.

- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 4 weeks ago:
Natural yarns are almost always best for wearables. It doesn’t need to be fancy (other than ooo pretty, which is my biggest criteria, too). I’d avoid 100% polyester, or high blends.
Personally, I love knitting with bamboo blends, and they’re quite affordable. They’re not suited for everything, but many feel like silk whilst wearing like cotton. And they’re often more sustainable.
It doesn’t always wear as well in all contexts, but it’s affordable and pleasant to knit with. I’d say it’s miles better for a beginner than polyester, and often comparably priced.
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 4 weeks ago:
It’s not considering the value of my time; a decent (actually wearable) yarn is far more expensive than most people think.
I would consider it a waste of my time to spend a couple hundred hours on a garment that’s barely wearable because it’s uncomfortable and borderline not washable. That’s what you will get with any yarn that won’t cost you over $50 in materials.
Cheap yarns are fine for beginner projects that aren’t made to be worn, but if you’re putting that much of your effort into a garment meant to be used, you should not be using bargain yarn. Your effort is worth too much to sabotage yourself that way.
- Comment on surely your hobby can't be that expensive 4 weeks ago:
Yep. Often when I wear a new jumper or whatever around people who know I knit, I get asked ‘oh, that’s pretty, did you make it?’
Lol no, that would have cost me like 5 times more. I couldn’t afford to make it myself.

I could literally live on plain potatoes for the rest of my life and I’d be fine with it. My ancestors must have been as culinarily boring as possible.

Wow. So glad this is what’s on what’s left of his mind. Not soaring prices or atrocities committed in his name. No, this is what matters.

Well, yeah. Regulations are a major part of society, and a major reason we tend to come together. Yet another reason libertarianism is misguided.
