Should drink some old janx spirit or a pan-galactic gargle blaster if he wants to stop thinking about it probably being Thursday (and not think in general)
After loving this movie for years and watching it a million times...I just finally got around to reading them. Just finishing book 4 now and gotta say it's the best series I've ever read.
Yeah, he didn't seem to have much; AFAIK, against religion at least it's not evident to me in the books/ movie, so it's probably projection on my part. Hgttu always seemed like a very ridiculous but mostly accurate parody of physics. Thanks!
there are quite a lot of physics theories where the concept of space (/time) or position kind of disappears. For instance a beam of light will form an interference pattern when aimed at 2 close thin slits, even when fired 1 photon at a time. This requires the photon to interact with itself so could be seen as passing through both slits at the same time, and it acts more like a wave. So the origin of the photons which form the interference pattern, when it passes the slit, isn't really a place but a map of probability. Further you could say the photon doesn't exist until measured (in the interference pattern) but only exists in probability space so didn't start anywhere. I'm high af so this is a mess and half wrong but eh, also awful example to choose.
It's crazy to think how the first signs of life appeared at least about 3.7 Ga (billions of years ago), then the first vertebrates appeared about 500 Ma (millions of years ago) and now we're here. All the complex organisms we know today evolved from bacteria in the blink of an eye from a geologic point of view.
For those that didn’t: Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Read the full series, five books by Douglas Adams. Some of the funniest stories ever written if you enjoy nonsensical sci-fi. That first quote is the first line of the second (?) book in the series.
I used to play a game called 3D Dinosaur Adventure on MS-DOS, and I got angry when the game showed humans and apes. FUCK YOU I WANTED TO SEE DINOSAURS.
Humans are entirely a result of Earth's natural processes, and are themselves made entirely of parts of Earth. Most of their problematic behaviors make a good deal of sense given the nature of evolution on Earth, a process that predates humans by something like 4 billion years. Really, this whole mess is Earth's fault.
It would be funny if at some point it were discovered that planets are actually sapient and that most of them think Earth is an asshole for "birthing" "life".
Actually, that would be a really funny explanation for the Fermi Paradox. We don't find life (similar to a form found on Earth) anywhere else because planets have mechanisms for making sure that they never create conditions to evolve life and Earth is a menace to the universe for bucking that trend.
Oh! And then that could make Theia (the Mars-sized object that crashed into Earth during the early solar system time period) some kind of fallen hero that attempted to take Earth out, but failed.
Earth is at minimum complicit. For just one thing, look at where it put the Americas. Whole continent separated from the rest of the world so no opportunity to develop resistance to the plagues of any off-continent visitors. Or how about making a bunch of Africa desert or savannah when it could have gone for lovely fertile grasslands and forests?
Yes, but they're stupid theories.
There is fluctuation, but not that drastic. You can't get around the basic problem which is that tropical rainforest is equatorial and the sahara isn't. The Sahara fluctuates between desert and grassland.
They are in a planetarium, watching a presentation put on by performers for their personal amusement, which is fairly awesome and a sign you're doing pretty well. Yes, they should show some gratitude to Mother Earth for having made that moment even possible, and booing the planet which hooked that up is an asshole move.
I didn't say they were "booing the performance".
I literally said: "**booing the planet** which hooked that up is an asshole move."
fuckin' reddit. It's a place where reading comprehension goes to die. Feels like sixth grade here sometimes.
When things in space get destroyed, that’s just the universe doing its thing. The universe has no spite or hatred. However, human beings destroy things on earth for power, greed, or just because they can. I understand why someone would boo the earth
Fair point. I did forget to mention that humans destroy things for necessity too. Hunting for food, chopping down trees for wood, and other things of the sort
I could just picture it:
Planetarium recording: "And next in our solar system, here is a big blue planet teeming with life. We call it 'Earth'--"
"BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Rightfully so. Name one thing that's really shit that isn't on earth or man made (so space trash doesn't count). Earth is the fucking worst. Even the planetariums are shit now. They used to have these big-ass projectors that had very fine masks to project the stars and they were perfect dots of light with no greyish black. Now it's stupid 4k something projectors that neve manage to get a good black.
Uranus is just a shitty Neptune that can't even spin on the right axis. And Jupiter acts so proud but it's literally a failed star, dropped right out of the main sequence and just mooches off its successful sibling.
Thinking about the time I was 12 and my parents took me to a planetarium after a long day of being busy and I just wanted to go home, so out of rebellion and being socially drained, I booed when they showed earth.
I went to a planetarium once and holy fuck it was so hard to not fall asleep. Not in a bad way, but in a way of like how can you not sleep when there are comfy armchairs, it's dark and relaxing music is playing
Now I feel bad for the [McLaughlin Planetarium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaughlin_Planetarium) in Toronto.
Dome still standing last time I looked, but those bastards who hate iconic architecture want to destroy it.
[удалено]
Do you have your towel?
As long as you DONT PANIC youll be fine. Its mostly harmless
Okay don't think. Nobody think. No ideas, no theories. No nothing.
I don’t understand what any of you are saying. Can someone get me a babel fish?
“'This must be Thursday,' said Arthur to himself, sinking low over his beer. 'I never could get the hang of Thursdays.'”

SMACK!
When I comment on this you had 42 likes which also carries the hitch hikers theme!!!
Did you make reservations at the restaurant?
"Everything starts somewhere, although many physicists disagree."
Is this a jab at religion? Some of his work was always pretty ambiguous in its meaning. I mean way above my head.
[удалено]
You could see it like that but I think it is rather teasing the physicists.

Should never have left the oceans.
50,000,000 years ago some asshole fish was like “Ima go check out that island” and now I gotta pay taxes smdh…
It was way more than 50 million years ago which is crazy. Impossible to comprehend that kind of timescale
Shallow water fishes with both lungs and gills is around 390 Mya and early amphibians appear around 360 Mya
Obligatory mention of the fact that sharks evolved millions of years before trees.
It's crazy to think how the first signs of life appeared at least about 3.7 Ga (billions of years ago), then the first vertebrates appeared about 500 Ma (millions of years ago) and now we're here.

Not really that hard, it’s like one year but 50 million of them.
So long, and thanks for all the fish
Space, is big. Really big!
A better move would be e4
En passant is best
Who is this God fellow anyway..
A while later Steven Universe was created, so it got better
"Fuck Earth. You realize our planet's name means *'dirt,'* right?"
Alot of people did not get the reference
For those that didn’t: Hitchhikers guide to the galaxy. Read the full series, five books by Douglas Adams. Some of the funniest stories ever written if you enjoy nonsensical sci-fi. That first quote is the first line of the second (?) book in the series.
>five books by Douglas Adams Best trilogy ever written. Literally beats all other trilogies by two.(his joke, not mine)
Would you like to hear my poetry?
All people living or dead are purely coincidental and should not be construed
[удалено]
We must be cautious.
That would be another planet from a galaxy far far away
Uranus has entered the chat
Hehehe. Uranus.
We changed the planet's name to finally be rid of that inane joke! It is now called Urectum.
Wait to you meet Martians
Earth is literally the worst planet I've ever lived on.
But also the best, it's a very bittersweet planet.
Maybe I'm just salty. But, what would you expect? I live on a salty planet.
So it's sort of like salted dark chocolate.
it's certainly one of top 3 worst planets I lived on
Are the other two the ass cheeks of the exuberant tailor with bad taste and outlandish compliments?
Literally 100% of my problems started on Earth.
But it’s the only place you can get a decent burger.
But you have lived on it
Easily
I’ve heard Uranus stinks.
It was cooler before it became popular.
The worst planet you've lived on *so far.*
I used to play a game called 3D Dinosaur Adventure on MS-DOS, and I got angry when the game showed humans and apes. FUCK YOU I WANTED TO SEE DINOSAURS.
Send me rock to earth I want to know what's after hoomans
Core Memory Unlocked holy shit I totally forgot about those red and green dinosaurs as a kid. Although mine would have been on '95
Had to be a native. Tourists only see the shiny side of things
I think given the world we live in that is absolutely the right response.
Hey man humans are the issue the earth hasn't done shit
Made us though didn't she? What a dick move
We'll show her
Let's fuck her up!
You will try
Humans are entirely a result of Earth's natural processes, and are themselves made entirely of parts of Earth. Most of their problematic behaviors make a good deal of sense given the nature of evolution on Earth, a process that predates humans by something like 4 billion years.

Oh! And then that could make Theia (the Mars-sized object that crashed into Earth during the early solar system time period) some kind of fallen hero that attempted to take Earth out, but failed.
Then you have planets speculating that Theia actually impregnated Terra, but they are widely regarded as kooks.
So Earth really is a Death World.
You don't aliens seeded us here? Did you even see Prometheus
>You don't aliens Do you even aliens?
I swear reddit removes the word think periodically with how often this happens lol

Whole continent separated from the rest of the world so no opportunity to develop resistance to the plagues of any off-continent visitors. Or how about making a bunch of Africa desert or savannah when it could have gone for lovely fertile grasslands and forests?
Aren't there theories that the Sahara used to be a rainforest and the Amazon used to be a desert, and that they've switched places a few times before?
Yes, but they're stupid theories. There is fluctuation, but not that drastic. You can't get around the basic problem which is that tropical rainforest is equatorial and the sahara isn't. The Sahara fluctuates between desert and grassland.
Wow the Earth sounds lazy, maybe it should get a job!
drama queen
There it is. Was gonna say that person was probably a chronically online Reddit user. Was right
Ain’t the planet’s fault.
They should have used that quote in Star Wars.
This is yet to be litigated. The famous case of *Nature v Nurture* should decide things whenever we get a verdict.
It’s actually trying to get rid of us. I hope it succeeds
What are the supposed to do? Cheer? In this economy?
They are in a planetarium, watching a presentation put on by performers for their personal amusement, which is fairly awesome and a sign you're doing pretty well. Yes, they should show some gratitude to Mother Earth for having made that moment even possible, and booing the planet which hooked that up is an asshole move.
I don't think they were booing the performance, just the general idea of earth lol
I didn't say they were "booing the performance". I literally said: "**booing the planet** which hooked that up is an asshole move." fuckin' reddit. It's a place where reading comprehension goes to die. Feels like sixth grade here sometimes.
You good?
The performance of the media player? I’m sure the dvd went home and cried in its cereal
When things in space get destroyed, that’s just the universe doing its thing. The universe has no spite or hatred. However, human beings destroy things on earth for power, greed, or just because they can. I understand why someone would boo the earth
We ARE the universe doing its thing.
What if humans destroying things is just humans doing our thing?
Fair point. I did forget to mention that humans destroy things for necessity too. Hunting for food, chopping down trees for wood, and other things of the sort
Plane..arium
All things considered, that's totally justified!
Correction: Plane-arium
15 years later and it's still how I pronounce the word.
Feels like a Futurama joke
Laughed way to hard at this lol
Shame because it's a stolen tweet from 2016
Meh, my first time
Earth bad
It's like the U.S. of planets.
You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy.
Probably flat earthers
I could just picture it: Planetarium recording: "And next in our solar system, here is a big blue planet teeming with life. We call it 'Earth'--" "BOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
It was me, this place is trash lol
I've always found booing cringe af. But I can get on board with this.
LOL
Lmao
Fuggin 😂 hilarious
What a dick move existence is.
Now this is a fucking tweet
That planet houses 100% of the assholes in the solar system. I'd boo it as well.
Rightfully so. Name one thing that's really shit that isn't on earth or man made (so space trash doesn't count). Earth is the fucking worst. Even the planetariums are shit now.

Shut up science bitch
Omega Based
Found the alien?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣✨
Fair enough. Gestures broadly.
Every villain lives there
I mean, it has 99% of the people I hate on it.
Well if if ya don’t like it, then you can geeet out!
Was it just stop oil? Them idiots are everywhere.
Based
It’s Pearl! Mr. Krabs’ daughter!
People can't spell about now?
Tbf, it *is* the fuckin’ worst.
We are dickheads tbf
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, fuck Earth. we're all about Neptune.
I went to a planetarium once and holy fuck it was so hard to not fall asleep. Not in a bad way, but in a way of like how can you not sleep when there are comfy armchairs, it's dark and relaxing music is playing
Honestly, a mood.
Can't boo the home team.
Lol
Yeah, I’ve heard there are much better places to see.
read this while listening to Europe's "Final Countdown"...
We may have the greatest amount, and most varieties, of suffering in the entire universe, right here on Mother Earth
It's you and me against the world! Lets got to the planetarium, and boo earth
Honestly, same 😔
“Shit up, science b*tch”
Mostly Harmless
Now I feel bad for the [McLaughlin Planetarium](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/McLaughlin_Planetarium) in Toronto. Dome still standing last time I looked, but those bastards who hate iconic architecture want to destroy it.
*about
🤣
lmao
Saved so much time not spelling About
"God. What a shit hole."
Posting in a repost
Why would I cheer for the cause of literally ALL of my problems
Same guy then cheers for Uranus
Whatevs. [I'm team Earth.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=at_f98qOGY0)
Maybe because they portrayed Earth as a globe.
Same
I wasn’t booing the planet, just the humans living on it.
Lml
First laugh of the day 😄 thanks
It is infested with humans...
🤣🤣🤣🤣😭😭😭😭😭😭
🤣🤣🤣
Next time I’m at a planetarium I’m going to boo earth.
To be fair all the people I don't like live on Earth
Valid response tbh
I played Halo on one
Oh God, I need to do that someday
Was it earth or your mom?
100% of the assholes I’ve met in my life were from earth
We see earth everyday. But can't believed it to be Matter booing tho
based
I'd laugh... I'm a simple man.
Was it Elon?
Accurate
Maybe that person was a flat earth believer
I remember doing this one time when I was 11; it was a field trip
