aw hell im zero in the bank again how does this keep happening

cant believe i never updated my birthday ticker... its been a month and a half

@Aetous capitalism necessitates cruelty and poverty, utopia under such a system would be tanamount to a prison inhabited by the ultra wealthy... etc. scifi writers think outside the box challenge

@Aetous why does an alien culture possess concepts like being rich, anyway

if i had it my way it'd be a planet of gigantic robots inhabited by very small people sized robots who make little villages in the voids in the giants' frameworks

@vantablack i used to hear the landline phone ringing when it wasn't until it was unplugged. anxiety

@LexYeen in this hypothetical situation they would also be wrong, which would be a surprise to nobody

birthday countdown. set your watches. i will destroy the british monarchy in a week

it is my birthday in ONE week. i desire Reeses peanut butter cups

@monorail i like this explanation bc it also implies that they haven't changed the material for several decades. maybe they ordered it in bulk and just havent run out

@monorail oh yeah like it glows through the material? that makes sense
i suppose if you did produce that much light you could make anything translucent

@monorail maybe! it might be like, an entire laser assembly deep in there that then gets scattered.

for scale comparison, the average incandescent bulb with a tungsten filament uses anywhere from 30 to 80 watts

@monorail i do wonder if the 1500 megawatt aperture science heavy duty supercolliding superbutton is designed to carry 1500 megawatts across its switch or if it takes 1500 megawatts in order to sustain its function. it would be funnier if it was the latter
