I love traditional French vacuum sealed plastic techniques.

Easy fix, don’t mow your lawn or answer your phone.

Oh, that makes sense now. Ryan Reynolds just got tired of being the one to cook.

Wouldn’t that be 50/50?

Yes, that’s why I collect Stormcast because they have griffon… Things.

(I don’t actually collect them, because why they hell would you when you can have dinosaurs?)

This sounds an awful lot like the the idea that you can never actually catch up to anything because all you can ever do is close the distance by half.

It was an average largely brought down by childhood mortality. If you made it to ten you’d probably see thirty, if you made it to 25 you’d probably see 50ish.

This was the Disarmed status but the same principle applies

Or “the Nazis were centrists,” given most of that subreddit were literally Nazis spreading propaganda.

I honestly think it helps with this one

The Great Catholic Betrayal is always relevant!

This made me look up what the actual ratios of elemental composition in the human body are, and I learned we’re 67% oxygen by atomic mass, which makes sense, with only 9.5% hydrogen, but I still find that idea that we’re mostly oxygen oddly upsetting.

It just means the remnants of the Big Bang that mostly created hydrogen, helium, and lithium. There’s nothing particularly special about it other than the possibility that it is as old as creation because there are stable isotopes.

Well there’s no reason both theories can’t be true, Tattoine being the first major colony of the exo-galactic humanity and such. Or just convergent evolution, it’s not like Star Wars actually cares about scientific details.

I wasn’t aware of the human supremacy era of the Republic. That’s a wild bit of history to casually drop as background details in a book about Darth Plagueis. I guess it explains where Palpatine got his idea of humanocentrism as a control mechanism from though.

Speaking of which, there’s actually a fairly compelling theory that Tattoine is the human home world in Star Wars. We know a few things about the origin of humanity in Star Wars, but it’s all from the time humanity was an unimportant slave race to the Rakatan Empire. We also know Tuskens are later biological descendants of humans that genetically split after the Rakatans fell, and that the Rakatans directly raided Tattoine for slaves, meaning Tattoine was at least one source of original flavor human when it was still a relatively minor species in the galaxy.

The other in-galaxy option is Coruscant but honestly that’s kind of boring. It’s also quite far from Tattoine so it’d be weird if Tattoine was just some random human colony.

And the technically movie-canon answer is Earth and humans are an exo-galactic invasive species but that’s not as fun.

Whose canon?

I was not aware of this urban legend, but I will repeat it anyways because it’s funny.

Grow up loser. The programming and sysadmin community will always be valued on Lemmy.
