I've always said that the worst thing that 9 did was completely destroy any excitement for Star Wars in an instant.

Prior to 9 releasing, people didn't like 8 and were already souring on 7, but there was still discourse, people caught up on Star Wars news, people were excited for the new content.

After 9, the excitement dropped like a brick. It was the closure of a trilogy in one of the most profitable IPs in the world. There was still more content planned to come out soon iirc (the shows, and I think there was talk of more movies), so it's not like people stopped caring due to the lack of content. Nobody I knew was interested in discussing fan theories or analyzing the movies (except to rag on them, I suppose). It was as if millions of voices cried out in terror... And were suddenly silenced.

Luckily it's an alligator, so the tears are genuine. If it were a crocodile, on the other hand...

Earl is a real name. However, for this one, they explain in the series that he was supposed to be named Carl like his father, but due to sloppy handwriting he ended up being named Earl

Children of Time, not Earth! Also gets my highest recommendation.

I've never even seen one suggested to me

I guess that analogy was the coelacanth of lemmy comments. Extinct.

That is still worrisome. Thank you!

Wait, what do you mean only 50 living members remain? A quick (admittedly too quick) Google search yields the number 50000, did you forget a "thousand"? Or is the situation even more dire?

The Rayman 3 (drug-fueled) transitions between worlds are a touch I was not expecting. Looks nice!

Sounds deep but isn't

Title of your sex tape

You are being downvoted as if your point was offensive or harmful. You are wrong, but it's totally counter intuitive and I think this is a mistake that everyone makes when studying introductory physics. This would be correct for anything moving at relatively low speeds. But when you're talking about light, or anything that goes so fast that "percentage of the speed of light" starts being a useful unit to describe their speed, this concept starts being a bit weirder.

This is actually the basic principle of Einstein's theory of relativity: the speed of light (in a vacuum) is the same for all observers, regardless of their frame of reference. That means that if the laser pointer emits a laser, the light is moving away from the pointer at the speed of light. If the pointer itself is moving at a speed reeeeeally close to the speed of light... Then the laser will STILL be traveling away from the pointer at the speed of light. And if you, an observer in a frame, see the pointer moving at near the speed of light emit a laser... The laser that the laser emitted is also traveling at the speed of light from your point of view.

And there's no wordplay here. I don't mean that it's light, so of course any speed it travels at is the speed of light. I mean that if you measure its speed from any reference frame, you will get around 300000000 m/s, or around 671 million miles per hour. No matter if you are also traveling at near light speed.

Harm yourself?

Take the knife and harm the people responsible for this travesty. The laws of robotics prevent robots from harming humans: if you manage to harm them, then that means either you're human or they're not!
