i’ve been anti spoiler for like 20 years now, since i watched Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind without knowing anything about it.

i want to react and enjoy the media purely in the moment, so I try to avoid as much news of upcoming projects as possible, including trailers.

the fact that you missed them just proves they’re (at best) useless and a waste of time for the editors.

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

at least those aren’t spoiling anything.

it also says they tested it for two years in singapore and was still white. i'm guessing if they didn't get mold in that time it's probably not an issue.

they'll make another film or something in 10 years.

i’ve always hated this shit in shows. battlestar galactica did it too.

like… why? i’m already watching the show, you don’t need to tease me.

it was a joke, but thanks for the unsolicited personal advice.

you can’t, that’s just the screenshot taken during the unlock transition. i tried a couple times and wasn’t able to get a shot just of the alarm screen.

 

no more fumbling around trying to press the snooze button 6 times.

i mean the show would literally not exist without him.

It makes zero sense to bring back extinct species who have zero chance of surviving the current and future environment.

~~I agree that's a horrible idea but I doin't think anyone is actually proposing that.~~

~~For me the question is, is there enough scientific value to be gained by "de-extincting" these ancient creatures to justify keeping them in a controlled environment for study.~~

edit:

never mind, i was wrong.

Colossal’s landmark de-extinction project will be the resurrection of the woolly mammoth - or more specifically a cold-resistant elephant with all of the core biological traits of the woolly mammoth. It will walk like a woolly mammoth, look like one, sound like one, but most importantly it will be able to inhabit the same ecosystem previously abandoned by the mammoth’s extinction.

ugh I fucking hated that episode.

BUT I'm glad they have the ability to do wacky new shit, which is what we need more of in TV and even Movies. That specific one just wasn't for me, and that's okay.

Skeptics should largely agree about what science says, but that's not always the case. Exploring when and why skeptics disagree may be illuminating.

In this talk, Steven Novella dives into a series of topics where skeptics disagree amongst each other.

Steven Novella is the host and producer of The Skeptics’ Guide to the Universe, a popular and award-winning weekly science podcast. He is an internationally known author of three books on science and critical thinking and science communicator with multiple TV appearances and two popular blogs (NeuroLogica and Science-Based Medicine).

This talk took place on October 25, 2024
