i mean, things could be worse

there was a paper some time ago that suggested that basically every icy satellite-or-large-rock from jupiter’s orbit outwards to pluto all the way to the rest of the oort cloud has a chance of having a subsurface ocean that is (or was) kept warm enough to stay liquid just via their core being hot

but the thing is that all those rocks have been slowly cooling off since their formation, so more of them had warmer oceans in the past. 

also, given that in order to form, life needs a sufficiently large amount of energy-per-square-foot to sustain itself (but not too much energy) then in fact, the solar system had way more places where life could have emerged than you’d have expected looking just at the surfaces of our rocks.

thus, well, most of the life in the solar system evolved to survive in the dark of a subsurface ocean somewhere where our entire ecosystem was doomed to freeze and die millions of years ago without ever getting to even see the rest of the universe. probably.

you get to see the universe before the sun runs out, and it’s been a more reliable source of power for you than what would have been available if you’d evolved on a place like most of the rest of the life out there has, yknow? i mean i know you believe you’ve had it hard; you’ve evolved for these conditions and therefore your notion of hardness is adapted to your environment so of course. that’s the same for everybody. all forms of life i mean.

but things could be worse

something about the way you’re saying “you…”

to survive in the dark of a subsurface ocean somewhere where our entire ecosystem was doomed to freeze and die millions of years ago

…..!!!

their. 

i meant their. 

i dont know what you’re implying i mean there’s nothing suspicious here. you’re being paranoid.

how would i even have gotten an internet connection from that sort of deep sea environment? if i were on earth. and i needed that sort of environment. because that’s where we’d evolved. 

which we didn’t! i meant that rhetorically.

i mean who would believe that, haha

deep sea aliens emigrating from frozen dead transjovian worlds and resenting those who’d emerged in more favorable conditions. that sounds like something you’d read in a story. a fictional story. with nothing to do with reality.

haha

this is probably targeted toward transmasc people but i have a feeling this could apply to potentially every variety of trans person on the planet and thats incredible

tumblr predictions for the final quarter of 2018:

  • tumblr witches cast a hex on the overwatch devs for “appropriating pagan culture” with whatever the halloween skins are gonna be

  • out of context screenshots of scooby doo become a really big meme one week for some reason, especially anything with scrappy doo
  • trilllizard deletes. he says it’s because he’s matured and grown tired of tumblr, but we all know the real reason
  • the mobile app develops a new glitch where posts meant for a sideblog occasionally also post to the primary blog if your phone lags and you spam the button too much. chaos ensues
  • reylo fans try to launch a con. they don’t call it reylo con, but because that’s the only people posting about it, everyone calls it reylo con. antis are banned of course. so is anyone else with a sense of dignity. it never happens and the organizers run off with the $72,000 in crowd-funded money
  • warriormale comes back to announce he’s started his own training program, which becomes wildly successful
  • mcdonalds announces the limited edition fortnite burger, which leads to a repeat of the szechuan sauce fiasco

Republicans: Felons should NEVER regain the right to vote. Got a felony for pot possession when you were 21? Fuck off. If you can’t follow the law, you don’t get to vote on the law. 

Also Republicans: I mean, even if Kavanaugh IS an attempted rapist who drank underage in high school, whatever. It’s not disqualifying even if its true. I still think he should serve a LIFETIME POSITION ON THE SUPREME COURT.Â
