I’m about to have a fun afternoon.

So my trainer’s bf cheated on her. She broke up with him. He’s holding her stuff hostage until she agrees to talk with him. Which she refuses.

She trains; for free mind you; three college linebackers, a college wrestler, two martial artists, a body builder, and… wait for it…. a Navy seal. We’re gonna go get her shit for her.

This should make for an interesting story.

can we all agree that handwash onlys are attention seeking? you're using the same dish soap as the rest of us but you need a sponge bath because you're too good for a shower

op some people will die if they're washed with soap at all. unlike certain plastic divas dishes that claim to be "top row only" like that makes a fucking difference.

Which star is the closest to us ?

Which Star Is The Closest To Us ?

I don't mean The Sun or Proxima Centauri, which are the closest stars, I mean in the image above, which star is the closest ?

Of course, I left out the names and the constellations on purpose, because when you look up in the night sky, unless you've got Stellarium (or similar) as an app on your phone, you're not going to see names and the lines which our ancestors made up for story telling.

Maybe it's the brightest one in the middle ? But then, how do you know if that's a massive star far away, or a smaller one really close ?

Thankfully, our orbit around the Sun is going to help us.

Which Star Is The Closest To Us ?

Parallax allows us to see which stars are closer and further based on how much they move between 6 months. This works great for the closer stars, but not so much the more distant ones and especially not the other galaxies, however there are other methods for finding which of them are closer, but for now, we're only interested in the closest stars, so simple maths and observations over a period of time can assist us.

Have you ever wondered what our Sun would look like in the night sky of another planet orbiting another star ? Truth is, when you look at those stars in that image above, almost all of them, the answer would be "You couldn't see it, it's not bright enough!"

Truth is, most of the stars we see in our night sky are larger and brighter than ours, at 32.5 light years our Star would be magnitude 4.83, just inside our naked eye ability.

Which Star Is The Closest To Us ?

The red square represents the upper image, zoomed out to better reflect what you could see with your naked eye. The tiny dot that the yellow arrow is pointed to, is the same brightness our Sun would be in the night sky of a planet 32.5 light years away.

Why 32.5 ? Well, the brightness of stars in the sky are ranked by Magnitude, the lower the number, the brighter, in fact, each integer is 2.5 times brighter than the one above it. What we see with our eyes we call Apparent Magnitude, but given some fun maths, we can take each star, pull it 10 parsecs (32.5 light years) from us, and imagine how bright it would be, this is known as the Absolute Magnitude.

Getting back to our original question, which was the closest, you'll already begin to understand the brightest stars are not necessarily the closest, using parallax we can really find out, and as some of you may have guessed already, it's the one you couldn't see with your naked eye.

Which Star Is The Closest To Us ?

Just 5.96 light years from us, but at apparent Mag 9.51 quite invisible to the naked eye. While the brightest Cebalrai was 81 light years, still close in terms of our Milky Way, but when you next look up, and see a sky full of stars, remember, you're only seeing the bright ones, there's thousands of times more quite close by, you simply cannot see.

Our houses are built with the sciences, our wall are painted with the arts.

“the arts and sciences are completely separate fields that should be pitted against each other” the overlap of the arts and sciences make up our entire perceivable reality they r fucking on the couch

I've been seeing a lot about the Israel conflict with Hamas and the atrocities both sides are committing, so I guess I'll put my take out there. I know this isn't like my usual "silly haha" or "cool thing" content, but I'll resume that eventually.

CW: Personal opinions about a bloody conflict with many civilian deaths.

Personally, I support Palestine. Not Hamas. Palestine.

This is a country that the target resides in, and therefore gets blown to bits. Unlike Pakistan, they're not even providing shelter to Hamas (TMK), but Israel continues to attack civilian targets, and keeps saying "Oh, Hamas has moved to the south, so we need to attack there," whilst they kill civilians along the way.

I'm not even advocating for Hamas. Hamas is a terrorist organisation who has committed several atrocities themselves. They deserve to die. They deserve to be killed for their actions. But it should not come at the cost of innocent lives.

As always in wartimes, this is a complex situation. Neither side is morally right, nor morally wrong, depending on your perspective. But there is no denying the basic facts.

Palestine did nothing (recent) to provoke Israel to kill civilians. And both Israel and Hamas, which is not Palestine, have committed atrocities.

But hey! It's a religious war between Christians! And I'm in the Cult of the Satanic Temple! Who am I to judge them?

I'm someone who stands for civil liberties, that's who.
