@troubleMoney @InspectorCaracal "vulcan science academy: why do you need another warp core
humans: we’re going to plug two of them together and see if we go twice as fast
vsa: last time we gave you a warp core you threw it into a sun to see if the sun would go twice as fast
humans: hahaha yeah
humans: it did tho
vsa: IT EXPLODED
humans: it exploded twice as fast"

@maple I don't know morse code either so that's a bit of a stumbling block on doing that
I should really learn it at some point, I'm sure it'd come in useful for something
@maple do you happen to know morse code? 'cause I'm sure someone could come up with a way to make it blink "we love you maple" in morse code
@maple morning maple
You can tell it's hot in the UK at the moment, some of our roads are melting
@meena I am of course referring to non-octopus aliens
We're fully aware of the concept of cute
@InspectorCaracal I love all those posts
"lemme get this straight, you lot first got to space by riding on top of an explosion?"
"yup"
"jesus fuck"
I wonder how we'd explain the concept of "cute" to aliens...
"aww, isn't he cute!"
"what?"
"over there, he's adorable!"
"human, that's an apex predator that routinely kills and eats mammals far larger than you"
"his box was too smol but he still sits!"
"fucking humans"
hot take
if your plane needs a 20mph headwind to take off then it's not a plane, it's a kite
@BatElite There are a number of claims but none of those seem have been verified
The main contenders are Santos and the Wright brothers and that comes down to how you classify a flight
IMO if you can't take off under your own power then it doesn't count
"The problem with defending the purity of the English language is that English is about as pure as a cribhouse whore. We don't just borrow words; on occasion, English has pursued other languages down alleyways to beat them unconscious and rifle their pockets for new vocabulary."
~ James Nicoll
@gemlog ...that wasn't even intentional
There's too much credit going to the Wright Brothers
Their plane required a headwind to take off at all, I mean yeah, props to them for getting off the ground at all
But who should get more credit is Alberto Santos-Dumont, his plane could actually fly with just its own power
@natecull by how english goes around nicking stuff from every other language english itself is "all the other languages: the good parts" cobbled together with string
@maple @samanthacayne @8 @d @ryliesh @mary @LaserScheme hello new people!
@BatElite I do believe there is truth to those rumours
