TIL that one-third of humanity (including 60% of Europeans and 80% of North Americans) live in such light polluted areas that the Milky Way is not visible at night.

via ift.tt

so i read this and i was like ‘well duh. no one sees the milky way at night.’ and then i thought about for another minute and then i realised ‘wait… you’re supposed to? some people can see the milky way?’ and now i’m struggling to come to terms with the fact that i’ve literally never seen the milky way and in some countries you can. like all the time.

I remember seeing the Milky Way in Hawaii and it being hella normal and then I moved to San Fran and was hell disappointed.

I can kinda-see-it-a-wee-bit on a clear night from my house, but the first time I saw it properly from the coast I was shook.

I have now lived on two islands with telescopes, so the light pollution is kept to a minimum, and I feel like people often have no idea what the night sky is supposed to look like.

WHAT THE FUCK WHAT THE FUCK HEY WHAT THE FUCK I THOUGHT THAT WAS JUST MOVIES WHAT THE FUCK

don’t you just love horror that doesn’t rely on sexual violence or vilify mental illness or use jumpscares? don’t you just love horror that creates an unsettling atmosphere and an intense feeling of wrongness even after you’ve suspensed your disbelief to accept that this kind of supernatural exists in that universe? don’t you just love horror that’s well written

when i upgraded from a flip phone to an iphone and realized i could no longer record and set a custom ringtone because apple wanted me to buy radio pop ringtones, i realized, oh cool new tech isnt made for us it’s made to exploit us and we are going to let it happen

how do we explain to children that all our tech briefly worked perfectly and over time we threw it all away for sleek menus and corporate opacity

if i had three wishes they would all be to make web 2.0 utterly illegal and go back to normal html
