Cosmic Horror
A community to discuss Cosmic Horror in it's many forms; books, films, comics, art, TV, music, RPGs, video games etc.
"cosmic horror... is a subgenre of horror fiction and weird fiction that emphasizes the horror of the unknowable and incomprehensible more than gore or other elements of shock... themes of cosmic dread, forbidden and dangerous knowledge, madness, non-human influences on humanity, religion and superstition, fate and inevitability, and the risks associated with scientific discoveries... the sense that ordinary life is a thin shell over a reality that is so alien and abstract in comparison that merely contemplating it would damage the sanity of the ordinary person, insignificance and powerlessness at the cosmic scale..."

Bike is above walking?
Yup, this is perhaps surprising to some.
Bikes win hands down by being the most efficient form of energy usage for transport. Walking requires a lot more calories to travel the same distance you can go on a bike. Those calories come from farming and that (diet dependent) very quickly can outpace any lifetime savings from using a bike. A bike is about ~99% efficient at converting energy into motion.
In terms of distance over energy? Damn right.
