  The gigantic orb of burning hate in the sky, high-energy screams raging outward as a proclamation of its destiny to eventually devour gaia’s refuge once and for all?

  Humans say that the sun gives the gift of life, but it’s really just giving them cancer if it sees them for too long. Checkmate mortalists.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does this thing work? (wrong answers only)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m glad that you asked! The earth’s rotation creates an energy field that brings the ether to rotate in sync with it, even at a distance. You can see the effects of this in the atmosphere in hurricanes. The ether is very light and so as the energy field spins the ether faster than the earth it creates the same fan effect but for our atmosphere. Hurricanes never cross the equator because that’s where the forces of the earth spinning against the ether and pushing forward against the ether are perpendicular.

  tldr: the earth is a really big fan and it makes hurricanes

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does this thing work? (wrong answers only)⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The earth is spinning like really quickly all the time and we just don’t notice it. Heat if a form of vibration, and so when heat is applied to the bottom of the fan the atoms there move more. A gyroscope resists tilting forces because it is spinning, and the earth is spinning, but the vibration of the fan decouples it from this effect. The blades are able to move freely and the earth moves around them, pushing air through the blades.

  tldr: It’s not spinning, you are spinning

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How do I feel comfortable/safe going outside by myself after being so used to have parent(s) be with me outside most of my life?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I know what you mean with the parents providing transportation to everywhere! I was in a similar situation when I moved out. I was often too anxious to enter a store on my own because I had never had to do that alone (or really been given the opportunity to do that alone).

  What helped me was finding a nice coffee shop near my place. They had delicious matcha lattes and I made a tradition of walking there on weekends. Then I realized that I could stop at a scenic park on the way back home. Then I realized that I liked walking around. Then I realized that there are cats outside and I can pet them! And at some point I also got really into pokemon go. It was a compounding series of small realizations that I could just go out and do things.

  Disclaimer: I’m not from the USA and I am white, so that affects my experiences of this. That sounds very scary.

  Side note: I’ve made a map of the locations at which I have encountered cats, making note of how many were there and if they were friendly or not. It gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment.

  I can kind of see this right now. I’m in a first year course and almost everyone has a laptop in front of them. I’m in a fourth year course and most people use paper notes. It could be survivorship or a result of differences in the desks, or it could be generational.
