Yo mama so fat, she sat on the Bronze Age and bent it.
Yo mama so fat, she sat on the Ice Age and melted it.

Looks a bit like "Ren & Stimpy After Dark" to me, it's got that faux-50s John Kricfalusi (by Blammo!) flavor.

It IS true! The Earth WILL pass in front of the same Taurid meteor stream in 2032!

In fact, the Earth WILL pass in front of the same Taurid meteor stream in 2031! And 2030, and '29, '28, '27, '26, '25 and '24!

Buddhism isn't really a religion, the way I understand it, it's not trying to sell anything like religions do, it's more of a philosophical system, with psychological exercises and disciplines that to this day have proven to be of profound positive mental health impact.

Then people went and built statues of Siddhartha Gautama, which he supposedly had asked not to happen. Then there's the "fat Buddha" from China, who was actually someone who lived almost two millennia after, and is known there as "Budai".

Those statues and idols have nothing to do with what Buddhism originally proposes, in a nutshell: there is suffering in this world and life, how can we be free of suffering?

You make it sound like Israel goes: "We will bomb the Palestinians, but ONLY if Democrats PUSH this button! Do it Joseph Biden and Nancy Pelosi!" and they trip over each other to push that button.

No. That is republicans you are thinking of. They enjoy the bloodlust and the prophecy and of coming of the end of days! They want to LUBRICATE that shit! For the last hundred years we've been in the very last days, according to them, the antichrist peeking from just around the corner, any moment now...

The ones who respond with excitement whenever there is bloodlust and retribution and suffering in the Bible. They enjoy those parts.

Ever hear that old George Carlin bit?

"I'm going to string words in a sentence that's never been uttered before! Ready? Here we go...
As soon as I stick this hot poker up your ass, I'm going to chop my dick off!
There! I did it! I put words together in an order that's never been done before, in the entire history of mankind!"

Elohim creating Adam - by William Blake in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Crazy to think how Blake kept volumes and volumes of poetry and intricate illustrations and paintings private during his lifetime, his enigmatic work made known to the world only later.

A more recent equivalent might be Bob Dylan's studio outtake bootlegs and the Basement Tapes, circulating among a community of devoted fans. Except imagine there never were any official albums released.

William Blake posthumously became the original modern bootleg artist.

Imagine modern tech could resurrect old movie stars, which movie remake would you like to see them in? (lemmy.world)
 

For example, Humphrey Bogart as Indiana Jones in Raiders Of The Lost Ark. Or say Gregory Peck in Saving Private Ryan. Or how about James Dean as Luke Skywalker!

Regarding the Fine Structure Constant in the spectral emission lines of a hydrogen atom, does the narrow gap/black line represent 1 out of 137 slices or possible steps of something? (lemmy.world)

In the color lines of a spectrograph and what seems to be an area with a certain color, zooming in shows that this color is delicately split in half by a black vertical hairline, on one side it's the emission of photons of color by a hydrogen atom with a spin up electron, on the other it seems to be the same color but it's a spin down electron.

Whenever I hear that gap mentioned, 1/137 is invoked, but I'm not sure precisely what that means, and I'm visualizing that the color of the spectral emission can be divided or deconstructed into a total of 137 vertical lines, and the one in the middle is black.

Maybe it represents 1/137 of a photon's wavelength at a certain color?

EDIT: I mean directly from the box, NO casting from a phone or tablet.

All their channels are on-air via Livestream - here's an example - but a couple of years ago the parent company Vimeo discontinued their app for Roku, they just digitally yanked it out of our streaming boxes.

If space didn't expand/accelerate, would photons keep zipping along forever in the same wavelength in which they were emitted? (lemmy.world)

Does anyone else see an alleged old painting or black-and-white photo you've never seen before, are unsure if it's legit or a recent fake created with AI? (lemmy.world)
 

For example, places like HistoryPorn have some bizarre pictures of weird inventions or WWII experimental weapons.

How come I'm only just now coming across them? Why didn't we see them five or ten years ago, even in specialized forums and subreddits?

Places like ArtPorn or TraditionalArt are a trickier proposition. Here my lack of knowledge is vast, but I've really loved the history of painting for over two decades now, and have recently kept coming across a lot of 18th-to-20th century paintings and painters I've never heard of before; some of these are excellent, I should have known about them... I think. But like I say, there's more that I don't know than what I do.
If they are real and not recent AI creations, where are the original and who is digitizing and/or publishing so many of them all of a sudden in the past year?
