Pain and pleasure are the greatest survival teachers, I’d expect them to be the basest feelings a living thing can have.

Saying some creatures don’t feel pain just because their physiology is different is like how we were taught that animals couldn’t think back in the 20th century.

Fuck it, just valuate tech companies with quadrillions, or even quintillions. Why not? We’re already in the realm of fantasy.

Don’t speak that way of The Orville

One light year is 9.4607379e+15 meters, so there’s a power of 10 that could give us a unit of length close to 94 cm. That would not be as arbitrary.

But fuck me if we discover the speed of light in a vacuum has not been constant along the history of the universe, the c would be an awful base for cosmic distance, or very long term science.

But don’t worry, humanity doesn’t look like it will exist long enough to do very long term science.

Holy cow, it’s a 70s franchise, but I misremembered, even though I watched dubs in the 80s! Technically it’s a 60s franchise because it was born in 1969.

I hope they don’t plan on taking the spotlight out of Israel.

I don’t know. Seeing how modern shows like Foundation, The Witcher, or Star Trek Discovery, to name a few, have gratuitously walked over their own canon, I can understand how the producers thought Velma was a good idea for a new Scooby Doo show.

It was never about Scooby Doo. IIRC, this was supposed to be an original show, but latching it to a successful 90s franchise must have looked like a sure money maker.

Edit: did some fact checking, this was a theory. The show actually was an unfortunate reimagining of Scooby Doo since its inception.

You ignoramus. This is what allows us artistic geniuses to freely unleash our gifts to the world, what we call “creative liberty”.

An insignificant thing like being wrong should not stop our creative juices from flowing unabashed.

The next question I’d expect from a little kid would be “why is your hair long?”.

And another why, and another, and another…

Some describe the movement of the horse as one square like a tower, and another like a bishop, but if it was like one square like a bishop first, it will get the carrot in the first try.

Unless it’s jumping. Please don’t jump, horse.
