    Thought that is how they look like or represented them as such in art?

    My understanding was that most understood them as light sources, very similar to how we do, but rather then cosmic body they saw angels or whatever fits their religious framework.

    Its not like people where unaccustomed to the night sky, but maybe deeper psychological interpretation plays a role.






  • For the longest time now, from before AI, before NFT was a thing i had an idea to incorporating blockchain tech into real life media footage to combat the rise of misinformation.

    The metadata, original author would be stored on this chain the moment footage is recorded. The biggest challenge is that this means the devices themselves need to be connected.

    Adoption would be slow but i imagined news and official channels make use of this tech first. Eventually all footage outside of this will be seen as not trustworthy

    Then NFTBros came along and people have shit on this idea ever since. Some days i feel that was a conspiracy to ruim out perception of potential but more likely humans where just greedy.

    I still believe this could work. Detailed example below:

    The system works with a fair amount of transparency, verifiable digital signatures for recording devices and their owners. Professional cameras and organizations would have publicly known IDs, while individuals could choose to remain pseudonymous authors but would need to build credibility over time.

    Let’s say BBC records an interview. When viewers watch this content on any platform, they can access blockchain verification through an embedded interface (perhaps a small icon in the corner). This shows the complete chain of custody from recording to broadcast.

    The system verifies content through computational comparisons. When a raw interview is edited into a final piece:

    • Each original clip has a unique blockchain signature
    • The final edited version’s signature can be compared against source material
    • Automated analysis shows what percentage of original footage matches
    • Modifications like color correction or audio adjustments are detected through signature differences
    • Additional elements like station logos or intro sequences have their own verified identifiers

  • I am less concerned with stopping young people from accessing the web then with general awareness of people about the damaging mental side effects of technology.

    Those side effects are usually long term, an account and a few online interactions wont harm much. But a habit will.

    If my kids hacks trough my infrastructure i will shine with IT pride… and then update my infrastructure explaining them why it is i am so concerned.

    I know they will find ways outside my walled garden but keeping them in was never the point, providing a safe space to live to develop healthy habits is.



  • The scientific conclusion to be derived from this study is that the author has a potential passion for the game of Minecraft combined with a sense of humor to include subtle harmless references.

    Further study is encouraged but logical expectations are that the authors neurological state may fall within the boundaries of autism spectrum disorder and that they have a high chance of being consider my friend, regardless of any non existing formal introductions between us.

    No idea why we were studying this however.



  • If you zoom in really hard into how “electricity” works you find it mostly has to do with electromagnetic fields.

    If you zoom in on electromagnetic fields you get quantum mechanics.

    If you zoom in on quantum mechanics you find a lot of disagreement, basically the best scientists today still don’t fully understand our observations.

    So in essence we still don’t really understand electricity.

    At best you get physics that describes phenomena like vanderwaals forces describes the magnet force but they don’t explain how to phenomena exist, how those forces form.

    Or i am just to stupid to understand the current scientific meta. I have always been dissatisfied with how unrevealing physics was and how much questions it never answered while getting a passing grade though.







  • No, they hide instead.

    In small corners, like a small hole in the stonewall next to your wall attached reading lamp.

    So then when you’re finally asleep you hear like this scratch noise. So you turn on your lamp and you see that it’s little bit of wall dust coming off it.

    And at first you’re like huh so you look a little closer and you see that it’s coming from that little hole in the wall.

    AND THEN SOME LEGS JUMP OUT OF THERE.

    Before you know it you stand at the furthest other corner of the room.

    A full spider has pulled itself from the hole, and it stares at you, menacingly.

    You can barely breathe, but deep down you know that the creature can’t help it. It is not a monster, and neither are you.

    You were taught the most sensible thing is to put such insects outside. So you sneak downstairs trying to find a glass and piece of paper to capture it in.

    So then you, a brave knight, armed with a glass faces the beast.

    And as you hold your arm in the vicinity of its claws. You realize:

    The size of this beast is far bigger than the diameter of the opening of this glass.

    You run to the hallway you are truly losing it. But then you hear another sound.

    Your dad appears from nowhere, and he asks what are my troubles.

    SO I SHOW MY HERO TO THE BEAST

    AND HE FUCKING LEGS IT. EVEN MORE A COWARD THAN YOU. Goes to bed and leaves you to it remarking its large size.

    That is what wolfspiders do. They don’t just destroy your confidence, they show that you came from nothing and will remain it till the day you become food.

    That is what wolfspiders do.

    Also they can jump 2m straight, thankgod i only found out as it jumped from glass 2# into the darkness of the garden as i you realize they could have jumped into your face at any point of time back in the room. You were never safe.

    That is what Wolfspiders do.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
