People keep posting these things, what is it and why is it a funny internet thing?

It's a demonstration of skill from Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. The player character is the one with the armor. Some of the characters you can talk to turn out to be assassins sent to kill you; this player has worked out exactly how to throw his sword upward so that it comes down just as the assassin reveals herself,. The sword hits her in the head, killing her.

Oh yeah, this is the store that sells a glove made of certain breed shark skin, complete with tiny barbs pointing inward. The point being, it's like a thousand fishhooks keeping it in place, requiring you to either cut it off or to deglove your hand to remove it.




Costs over 700 dollerydoos. Fuckin' Nords are weird.

It's not real sharkskin, though, because sharks are smooth.

What about it, exactly, is pedophilic?

There's a brief segment where Niven entertains and discards the possibility of the teenage Supergirl carrying a Kryptonian baby, and while he's careful to say that "they're cousins, so of COURSE they can't" he then goes on to consider the idea anyway and discard it because it would be *gasp* scandalous.

I think the idea was 'They're just big chickens, right?'

There's a reason emu farming never took off as anything but a novelty down under. And we're not lazy about our farming. We invented the combine harvester. (and the rotary clothesline. We like outdoor spinning things.)

When you lose a war against a species, it becomes hard for them to take your attempts to turn them into farm animals seriously.

Is this "the APP", or did two people have the same idea?

e: yep, it's "the APP". I'm a little disappointed that it's just called "Sorry" instead of being an "APP-ology" pun.

If you want to complain about him post a picture of your own so that you are at least as interesting as the image you're panning.

The downside of Clarke's Third Law ("Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic.") is that to a layperson, a lot of skilled tasks are "sufficiently advanced technology". They treat skilled work like it's waving a wand and casting a spell instead of, you know, work, and so they value the time and skill involved less.

There's no reason to come up with an explanation for why we can't see aliens, because it's just a fact that if there were aliens we probably wouldn't be able to see them. Space is loving huge. It's literally unimaginably big. The galaxy could be teeming with life and we'd have no idea.

Look at this. These are the best photographs of Uranus that exist. The furthest out planet in our own solar system could have a drat Walmart on it, and we'd have no clue. Because it's so, so, so far away. If we want a better picture, we'd have to spend millions of dollars designing and building a space vehicle to put a camera in, shoot it in to space, and wait years for the camera to get close enough to take some pictures. That's just to get photos of a planet in our own solar system.



But let's say the aliens did want to say hi, let's say that aliens sent a probe to our solar system. Even if they are sending probes, so what? The fastest man made object is the Juno probe, which is moving at 25 miles a second. Let's say the aliens send one of those probes our way. Let's be super generous and also say that the aliens live in the closest star system to us, which is 4.3 light years away. It would take more than 50 million years for that probe to reach us. Let's be super de duper generous and say that the aliens manages to launch the probe and successfully predict where it would end up fifty million years later. One micro-meteorite could puncture the probe, destroy the radio inside, we would have no way of knowing it was moving through our solar system. One random radioactive burst could fry the radio inside, ditto. One misplaced meteorite's gravity could ever so slightly skew the probes trajectory so that thirty million years later instead of heading for earth it's billions of miles away. And those are just the accidents. Imagine if human beings set out to build a machine to last fifty million years. It's impossible.

But, fine let's say somehow the alien probe did manage to make the fifty million year journey to the Sol system, still beeping out it's simple message to any intelligent life who was there to listen. But it passed through our system in 1904 and the few radio operators who heard it thought it was weird interference and didn't care.

You literally haven't read anything about the Fermi paradox other than "Where is everybody?", have you?
