A lot of people seem to interpret Sherlock Holmes being like "ohh it's very simple actually, see--" as him being arrogant like Scoff. Isn't it obvious. But I'm the same type of person (read: autistic) and in my opinion it seems likely that he really does just wildly overestimate the average person's knowledge about his extremely niche interests & he thinks he's Being Normal. Anybody could do this, right? (No). It's like that xkcd comic

"The mathematicians delved too greedily and too deep. You know what they awoke in the darkness."

Screenshot of the wikipedia article Category Theory. The body of the article says, "Category theory is a general theory of mathematical structures and their relations. It was introduced by Samuel Eilenberg and Saunders Mac Lane in the middle of the 20th century in their foundational work on algebraic topology.[1] Category theory is used in almost all areas of mathematics. In" The remainder of the article is cut off.

Night Vale had some of the BEST one off quotes that would just suckerpunch you in the chest leave you breathless

Like the one that stuck with me was this one:

"when a person dies and no one will miss them, the mourning is assigned to a random human. This is why sometimes you just feel sad."

It's been almost 11 years... It haunts me in a good way

Just started reading Sherlock Holmes and all the adaptations are wrong. This man is a delight. He gets excited about hemoglobin and is ecstatic at the thought of Watson as a roommate. He purposefully forgets how the solar system works so he has more room in his brain for crime. He shows Watson the dirt stains on his trousers and he can tell what part of London they come from based on color and consistency. (As far as i can tell Watson didn't ask, Sherlock just gets back from walks and tells Watson about the stains unprompted.) The text specifically says "Holmes was certainly not a difficult man to live with." Why does every adaptation make him unpleasant and rude, he's literally just eccentric. He's such a goober, I love him.

set of 6 gifs of worf and will riker.

GIF 1: worf in the foreground, riker in the background they are standing in worfs quarters on the enterprise. this shot is from the belly upwards but it is still clear that they are wearing the long dress uniforms typical during this era, and worf is also wearing a special kind of formal sash. they are both facing the right of the screen. gruntingly, worf says "they look like dresses", prompting riker to turn his head with a shocked expression.
GIF 2: riker says "that is an incredibly outmoded and sexist attitude. i am surprised at you", and walks off to the left.
GIF 3: riker is now standing by the door. he turns around half way, lets his eyes wander down (and by down i mean down worf's body, who is off screen right now) and concludes: "besides, you look good in a dress"
GIF 4: now a shot of from the other angle, of worf standing in front of a mirror. he is looking at his reflection, but turns around upon hearing riker's words.
GIF 5: riker again. he smiles his best and biggest riker smile (tagent warning but ever since I saw this one post on here where someone referred to this as "impish eye twinkles" i can't stop calling it that in my mind. yeah! anyway, he does the whole impish eye twinkle smile routine here)
GIF 6: worf again. he turns back to the mirror and takes a moment to really look at himself, then sighs.

star trek tng: we gave our taciturn captain a literal injured heart but the writing treated it so earnestly that it transcends the very crude scifi metaphor for this broken hearted character

star trek picard: just give that old man a whole artificial body but never really do anything with it again lol yolo

I think one big reason why we don't consider the stars as important as before (not even pop-astrology anymore cares about the stars or the sky on itself, just the signs deprived of context) is because of light pollution.

I Think One Big Reason Why We Don't Consider The Stars As Important As Before (not Even Pop-astrology

For most of human history the sky looked between 1-3, 4 at most. And then all of a sudden with electrification it was gone (I'm lucky if I get 6 in my small city). The first time I saw the Milky Way fully as a kid was a spiritual experience, I was almost scared on how BRIGHT it was, it felt like someone was looking back at me. You don't get that at all with modern light pollution.

When most people talk about stargazing nowadays they think about watching about a couple of bright dots. The stars are really, really not like that. The unpolluted night sky is a festival of fireworks. There is nothing like it.

au idea... tng but it's set in the 80s and the enterprise is an apartment building rather than a ship

other tenants of the building include: -Picard (the head of the college that Data attends) and Q (no one really knows what he does, he just pops in and out whenever he pleases) -Troi (high school guidance counselor) and Riker (personal trainer) and Worf used to live here too but he moved out -Beverly (still a doctor) and Wesley (burnt out college freshman) -Barclay (works at Blockbusters w/ Data and Geordi) -Guinan (bartender of a secretly gay bar)

the ds9 apartment is a whole other story

I bring a "fuck around and find out" approach to life that scientists like.

Fuck around

Come up with a ridiculous question

Establish a hypothesis, case in point: "If I fuck around, what will I find out?"

Test the hypothesis by fucking around in multiple ways to confirm, solidify findings, and gather evidence

Find out

Determine if the ridiculous question was answered by the data and evidence gathered through fucking around

What are the results found after fucking around? Was it expected?

Find out - Review findings

Did fucking around help or destroy your delusions?

Will you spill the tea (share your findings) to your friends, or will you be embarassed by being proven wrong by the results?

People only like the idea of trickster spirits. "Oh, I could deal with them, easy." But once they meet one in person it's suddenly "wow, this guy sure is annoying."

I love when sci-fi shows try to show that "Ah yes. We're indeed experiencing Turbulence on the Space Ship" by having the actors enthusiastically throw themselves headfirst at nearest solid object
