The galaxy is 33 billion light years away now but the light started coming toward is when it was 13 billion light years away. The article is basically an introduction to this concept mentioned toward the end of the article:

“To avoid confusion, astronomers actually use two distance measurement scales: a co-moving distance that eliminates the expansion of the universe as a factor and a proper distance that includes it. That means the co-moving distance of JADES-GS-z14-0 is 13.5 billion light-years, while its proper distance is 33.8 billion light-years.”

Oh I just found out dust is supposedly harder to blow these days, I was assuming people quit blowing dust because it was unhealthy. Well, anyway, any day I can say “fecal particulates” is a good day

Things haven’t been the same since the world got woke about fecal particulates

“…and he’s the best second shift server we have on staff”

That’s how they get ya

Why only the one half? What if I want the other half?

I switched in the late 90s to attract women. I still think it’s going to work someday.

Or maybe, and this may sound a little crazy but maybe the guy didn’t eat an airplane

“Gastroenterologists who X-rayed Lotito’s stomach said he was capable of consuming 2 pounds per day, according to his Guinness World Records entry.”

I often read things and think about them and realize that it’s so absurd I can’t believe anyone tried to pass it off as true, and this is one of them.

Gastroenterologist: “Oh yeah, that stomach can consume metal, I know because…” Because what? You’ve been trained to identify stomachs that can digest metal using X-rays? What day of gastroenterologist school was that?

Go Google abdominal X-ray. You can’t even tell where the stomach is, it’s just a cloudy area.

"Oh yeah, that cloudy area there can definitely digest metal, I can tell just by looking at it. I’d say it can digest, say, a pound and a half easily. Probably two pounds. Probably not two and a half though, I can tell just by looking at it that two pounds would be too much. "

We’re going to end up finding that they’re racist, aren’t we?

Hate to be that guy but he was a kid in that movie. He went on to be the rebel leader, without mom, as an adult, which is what the robots were trying to prevent

Pretty close. Most people who have seen it don’t seem to remember what it’s about anyway

How many people here know this video?

Oh man, I loved True Names, A Fire Upon The Deep and A Deepness In The Sky. I never got around to read ling the rest or his stuff but maybe it’s time

He’s had it rough since he had to stop jacking off to M&Ms

Looks more like electrical conduit, but I appreciate the pun

The actual metal content varies. With plastic bumpers, aluminum condenser/radiator, composite support pieces, the actual amount of magnetic metal may be quite minimal, and there’s practically no vehicles that have so much metal in their front end to compare to a slab of metal on the outside.

I feel like this is a Slackware joke

Meanwhile, parents are on all of these believing every conspiracy theory they see.

Technically, the gas tank is pretty much always in the middle
