Add a full mug of beer after getting a ship sunk!

It's ok... I practice intermittent fasting.

Time traveling French aristocrats from the late 18th century find themselves on a Spaniard ship at the tail end of the 15th!

Cue of Fallon banging his palm on the desk, laughing hysterically.
Such mirth!

Let's be briends.

EDIT: breands

"Not a team player", gripes and mumbles the boss as he drives towards the Wells Fargo Center that weeknight, he and the other executives have a luxury suite to watch the 76ers and Flyers, season tickets!

A mindless mind will find a way to take a neutral or positive trait and find a way to spin it into a negative narrative, or in the case of the current journalism industrial complex and its' mindless little drones who fancy themselves "the fourth estate" - something alarming, shrill and hysterical, something to amplify high blood pressure.

Dimensionless numbers, not dependent on any mere mortal, subjective arbitrary unit of measurement like length (meters or yards or cubits - same difference) or time.
Whether you are on Earth or a planet in Andromeda or a billion light-years away, if you study subatomic structure you WILL bump into the fraction 1/137. Just like you will in geometry with 3.1416.

Meanwhile, Pi and the Fine Structure Constant watching the show, passing each other the popcorn.

A bullet fired from a gun goes more or less at Mach 1, correct?
It's thirteen years to the sun at the speed of a bullet?

Spacecraft towards Mercury, or the Parker Solar Probe go much faster than that, take a few years to make it there, but they are doing so picking up speed in flybys of first Earth, then Venus, then Mercury, in several, ever tighter orbits.

It's both fun and illuminating to try and visualize these things in new ways. In this case, from the viewpoint of a bullet.

Now THIS is art of a very high caliber, indeed!
It was just a public visual detail that elicited a stupid response from the very stupid people, and probably some delight from the rest of the population.

If I was one of the chief stassi goons in town, my response would have been "counter-intelligence art" or "counter-art", painting MORE stones purple and even other colors, so that whatever secret message the original ones were conveying would be confused, drowned out.

Haha, no, it's fine, and thank you for bringing up a great point that I've never really thought about before, it's like there was a blind spot in my autopilot when I wrote that here, just going for what felt easiest at the very moment.

It's just that I'm on a tablet that tends towards the older side, I'm really quick at those things on the computer, but on the tablet the formatting process is just a little too formal for me with a finger and a touchscreen and apps that are regularly sluggish to respond.

Yeah, on the computer I can make a meme here and there, edit photos, etc, but on the tablet... all I can do comfortably is read, write, and the most basic copy-pasting of images on messaging apps like Signal. And I'd never really stopped, turned and regarded that before.

EDIT: ideally, instead of linking, it would be great if we could display the image directly here in the thread, and maybe on the computer I could try and find a way, but I mostly use the tablet nowadays. And if it's too much of a server load for Lemmy to allow that, I can live without that "luxury".
