the event horizon is effectively a sphere, like inflating a donut-shaped balloon (that can't pop). Eventually the middle hole is going to close like a sphincter (enjoy that imagery) and the whole thing will approach the shape of a sphere because that's what anything becomes when you inflate it hugely.

also the way they bend light, a proper physically simulated depiction of a black hole is so fucking cool because it just kinda intuitively looks like it's so heavy it's bending spacetime around it!

my rule of thumb is cover floppy bits, because they flop about

and the less appealing it seems to the average person, the more those interested will be willing to pay, because it's difficult to find

counterpoint: nowadays i can share public transport memes with gay nerds on the other side of the world from a device the size of my hand, precisely whenever the fuck i want to, even if i'm in the middle fo a god damn forest.

not sure why anyone would want to spend eternity in odin's place anyways, when the alternative is a meadow owned by the godess of beauty and sex..

like hm, do i want to drink mead with a bunch of macho dudes, or frolick and fuck?

fungi are like bacteria, they don't really change in shape. Remember that what we see is basically a limb that drops a bunch of babies, the actual fungi are just filaments in the dirt.

the only differently shaped fungus i can think of is lichen, which is a compound organism made of a fungus body with algae or cyanobacteria inside it.
So i guess that's the most sensible thing for them to evolve into, more complex compound organisms. They already parasitize and control stuff like ants so it's not that far-fetched to imagine them being part of the full lifespan, and hypothetically this could happen to all animals to the point that it's as normal as animals having mitochondria (which are separate organisms that were absorbed by our single-celled ancestors).

Imagine that, having a fungus that's just utterly interlaced through your body, like a secondary nervous system and extra layer to the immune system!

the fungi remember, the fungi know all. The gamma radiation would trigger them to achieve sapience and recreate earth as it was.

we'd be the opposite of the borg, we'd just be vrchat avatars with wifi antennae in our ears. Except for the amish of course, they'd still be doing their thing with larger beards and hair that grows into the shape of a hat.

even 60GB is absurd, tons of games get by just fine with like 10GB while having no lack of content and graphics.
