  • Eh, that’s over the estimated life of the universe.

    Our solar system is likely a third that age.

    It was just the first example I got when googling it, and I didn’t want to break it down and convert it to make it more accurate.

    Even then, pole reversal are common (speaking of, were like 100k years overdue and inexplicable shit is going on under the antarctic right now…) so even over the life of the Earth you’d have to keep teleporting to each new North Pole.

    But it’s a good example of relativity.


  • Ironically enough he was arrested in Florida which is far enough away there’s likely a real difference over that long of time.

    Like “real” as in there is a difference. Not that it is in anyway significant.

    I googled and apparently in the ~14 billion years we think the universe has existed, the north pole has experienced about four more days of time than the equator.

    So like 37 American years or 37.000000000000000000000001 Canadian years.

    I’m assuming American.



  • It’s one of those things where we shortened a phrase and then it stopped making logical sense.

    “The three musketeers” werent just musketeers who carried muskets.

    They were “the king’s musketeers”. They were elite special forces as well as the personal bodyguard for the King. The best of the best. The “musketeer” part was the common bit, it just sounds fancy centuries later.

    But the book might as well be called “The Kingsguard”





  • Someone else told me the same thing earlier on a different comment…

    And I just gotta disagree.

    I’ve been criticizing Israel’s monetary relationship with American politicians for about 20 years now. Before Facebook was invented even.

    Never been “cancelled”.

    I didn’t want to explain it because I was being lazy. You can 100% talk about why it’s an issue, especially here. If you find yourself being “cancelled” then you may want to take a step back and re-evaluate what you are saying and looking into the validity of it.

    I mean, right now we’re on one of the major communities on our instance, openly discussing it…

    No one is being “cancelled”
