Want to wade into the sandy surf of the abyss? Have a sneer percolating in your system but not enough time/energy to make a whole post about it? Go forth and be mid.
Welcome to the Stubsack, your first port of call for learning fresh Awful youāll near-instantly regret.
Any awful.systems sub may be subsneered in this subthread, techtakes or no.
If your sneer seems higher quality than you thought, feel free to cutānāpaste it into its own post ā thereās no quota for posting and the bar really isnāt that high.
The post Xitter web has spawned so many āesotericā right wing freaks, but thereās no appropriate sneer-space for them. Iām talking redscare-ish, reality challenged āculture criticsā who write about everything but understand nothing. Iām talking about reply-guys who make the same 6 tweets about the same 3 subjects. Theyāre inescapable at this point, yet I donāt see them mocked (as much as they should be)
Like, there was one dude a while back who insisted that women couldnāt be surgeons because they didnāt believe in the moon or in stars? I think each and every one of these guys is uniquely fucked up and if I canāt escape them, I would love to sneer at them.
(Credit and/or blame to David Gerard for starting this.)
Vibesā¦in space. Itās the sort of thing that a teenager who imprinted on Ringworld might worry about.
From wikipedia:
*A Type I civilization (planetary) is able to access all the energy available on its planet and store it for consumption.
*A Type II civilization (stellar) can directly consume a starās energy, most likely through the use of a Dyson sphere.
*A Type III civilization (galactic) is able to capture all the energy emitted by its galaxy, and every object within it, such as every star, black hole, etc.
oh yeah, that happy horseshit.
Full Self- Parody. From p. 138:
All this from the same kind of people who think shifting to Solar is āwokeā.
Weāre gonna create an entirely new type of star that supports itself against gravitational collapse by burning money.
Just wait until investors demand the satellites be powered by diesel instead of solar panels
literally adding tons and tons to rockets simply to further petrocapitalism. Have to lift the diesel and enough O2 to allow it to combust.
