    "If we can, stick around and scout out for a few days. If not... one way or another, we need a general idea of what the place looks like. I can probably work off just a map if we really have to, but I'd prefer an actual floorplan and other info."

    "Sweet!" Falchion opened her pocket dimension. "Come on in."

    It was s o p r e t t y. Falchion made little squeaky noises as she ran her fingers along the fuller, examining the sword top to bottom. It was pure silver in color, with a slight curve to the blade and an ornate pattern of stars along the hilt. A bit shorter than she'd imagined it, but that was fine... and it was so shiny. "Yay." She said.

    Aight imma share a bit of my new(ish) writing project with you all. It's in a google doc for two reasons:

    1. I have some weird formatting stuff that won't Shard particularly well.
    2. There is some heavy swearing that (get this) also won't Shard particularly well. I've been writing with regular f-bombs and other such fun words for this whole thing, though I haven't actually checked how many of each are in this bit in particular. Read at your discretion.

      Is there a clean version without the swearing?

      A fascinating piece. You have intrigued me, Fadran.

      But how the hell do I pronounce Ayia?

    The doorbell rang. "EEEEEEEEEEEEEE I think that's my new sword." Falchion made for the door.

    On average, one Earth day is less than 24 hours

    The same way that the closest planet to everyone is Mercury (on average)

    Basically: circles.

    Mercury is the closest planet to the sun, which means that its orbit has the smallest radius out of all the bois in our solar system. While Venus is technically the planet that can ever come closest to Earth, it can also get pretty far based on the fact that our orbits have different lengths - this raises the question as to which planet is closest to Earth on average.

    And the answer is Mercury.

    This seems a little strange, but then you think about it. Mercury has the smallest orbit, which means that it never gets much farther away from any of the other planets as their neighbors can.

    • Avg Radii of Mercury's orbit: 0.4 AU
    • Avg Radii of Venus's orbit: 0.7 AU
    • Avg Radii on Earth's orbit: 1 AU
    • Avg Radii of Mars' orbit: 1.5 AU
    • Avg Radii of Jupiter's orbit: 3 AU
    • Avg Radii of Saturn's orbit: 6 AU
    • Avg Radii of Uranus' orbit: 19.3 AU
    • Avg Radii of Neptune's orbit: 30 AU
    • Avg Radii of Pluto's orbit: 39.5 AU

    So you think that Earth is closest to Venus, but Venus can get as far away from Earth as 1.7 AU, while Mercury only gets as far as 1.4.

    Because circles!

     

    And that's the same reason why the average Earth day is only 23.9 hours long - to the sun it's 24 because the fact that we're orbiting around it means that it technically takes a tad bit longer to make a complete 360 turn in terms of what the sun "sees." However, for every other star, we're so far away that the orbit doesn't matter at all, which means they see our orbit as only 23.9 hours.

      Lol. I love space because you can have an enjoyable understanding of it's chaos while still having it make zero sense whatsoever.

    Hoid vs Kelsier!Go!
    What kind of matchup is that? One poet versus robespierre with wizard powers.

    "They. Are. Both. A w e s o m e." Falchion glanced between the two. "Which one would look better with a cape?"

    Watched J.J. Abram's Star Trek for the first time. I like the OGs better, but something about Chris Hemsworth being Chris Pines' dad is just hilarious to me.

      wait didn't J.J. Abram work one the new star wars films?

      or am I going insane?

    4. Spren of Kindness

      Spren of Kindness

      He did The Force Awakens and The Rise of Skywalker.

      Abram's Star Trek was the first Star Trek I saw, so I'm biased, but it's fun.

    I think it's objectively more fun and optimistic to believe that aliens exist, that they take some form of interest in humankind, and have visited Earth on a number of occasions.

    so... are we gonna talk about the congressional UAP hearing or nah?
  21. Channelknight Fadran
    Do you think there's a fundamental difference between regular knives, butter knives, and paint knives?
  22. Channelknight Fadran
    so one of the primary aspects of a knife is that it can murderify people?

      as for the first thing, earth's rotation is gradually speeding up because of the moon. one 'day' now is shorter than one 'day' hundreds of years ago. 

      Oh, no. Not that. In terms of solar days, yes - they're still longer than 24 hours.

      Okay what the actual heck is going on-

  24. Channelknight Fadran
    On the contrary, what makes a bad knife?
  25. Channelknight Fadran
    I started with the wrong argument, so I shall now change the topic so as to more successfully induct you all into the basis of philosophy: What makes a good knife?
