One of those rare cases where meeting a hero might not be so bad

ONE OF US! ONE OF US! ONE OF US!

One of the things I'm missing on the Lemmy side of the fediverse is more in depth nuanced answers like this. One of my favorite parts of reddit was going into r/ space and finding Andromeda(can't remember the exact username) explaining some crazy thing the JWST or Hubble just discovered because they were an actual astrophysicist or in some cases had actually worked on the project.

I know it's a blessing and a curse to have a smaller user base but I miss the possibility of running into people smarter than me giving context and background on a subject that I am a layman or even unaware of in some cases. r/ economics was a great example of a place where I have very little background in, but find interesting enough to read the articles posted. I would then head to the comments to hope someone posted an eli5 or at least some related background information.

I've tried adding my own expertise to the mix, but my background is a niche military specialty so other than explaining the background of Warrant Officer Ridley from the movie Alien, I haven't been able to add much of my own knowledge base.

Astronomers detected this exceptionally bright FRB, formally referred to as FRB 20250316A, in March from the direction of the Big Dipper using the CHIME radio telescope in British Columbia. They’re referring to the flash as “RBFLOAT” for “Radio Brightest Flash Of All Time.” The flash produced more energy in a few milliseconds than our Sun produces in four days.

Great for 99% of the population. Really only detrimental to those 2800 people and the bootlickers protecting them.

Interesting. Until this committee checks into this little "gift" I saw we give her a pass. I'm not one for whataboutism, but I think this deserves an exception.

So like 3 Lego sets? Those things aren't cheap these days!

Some actual good news for the day!

A bunch of no talent ass clowns over at DOGE.

It's because they are... Wait for it... Lying.

Sounds like nothing of value was lost in this accident then.

Exactly what is one inspired to do by someone that jumped from a significant height? To go out and get a corporate sponsor so they can foot the bill for your adrenaline addiction?

That's the fucking line? A building that is destroyed. Not the children being slaughtered, not the hospitals being destroyed, not the homes of thousands of people being demolished? All because they believe in a different sky daddy than you.
