I am once again thinking about digging holes
Tumblr media
It's so fucked up that digging a bunch of holes works so well at reversing desertification
Tumblr media
I hate that so much discourse into fighting climate change is talking about bioenginerring a special kind of seaweed that removes microplastics or whatever other venture-capital-viable startup idea when we have known for forever about shit like digging crescent shaped holes to catch rainwater and turning barren land hospitable

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1
The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.
So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.
So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.
Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.
And the probe is working again.
From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

I...tried to make a meme and got carried away and made A Thing that is like partially unfinished because i spent like 3 hours on it and then got tired.
I think this is mostly scientifically accurate but truth be told, there seems to be relatively little research on succession in regards to lawns specifically (as opposed to like, pastures). I am not exaggerating how bad they are for biodiversity though—recent research has referred to them as "ecological deserts."

That feeling when your body is requesting something but you're not sure what so you just start eating and drinking random stuff to try and figure it out

So I just saw a post by a random personal blog that said “don’t follow me if we never even had a conversation before” and?????? Not to be rude but literally what the fuck??????????
I’ve had people (non-pornbots) try to strike conversation out of nowhere in my DMs recently, and now I’m wondering if they were doing that because they wanted to follow me and thought they needed to interact first. I feel compelled to say, just in case, that it’s totally okay to follow this blog (or my side blog, for that matter) even if we’ve never talked before.
Also, I’m legit confused. Is this how follow culture works right now? It was worded like it’s common sense but is that really a thing?

This is Persephone, or Seffie. She crawled up onto the table we use for examining much heavier Pokemon, and decided this was where she was going to be examined today.
Her owner brought her all the way from Cherrygrove to see me. It was just a routine checkup, but it seems many are nervous around Dark-type Pokemon, and the myth of Houndour and Houndoom's flames 'causing burns that never stop hurting' are still prominently told in some areas of Johto.
She was one of the sweetest Pokemon I have met. Even her owner was surprised by how happy she was with me, as she normally is not willing to roll over and show her belly so quickly, but she very much wanted belly rubs from me.
Her family calls her 'Sniffy Seffie', as she loves to poke her nose into everything to investigate. She is still quite young, and sometimes breathes fire when excited, which is what led to the nervousness around her, but that is simply because of how young she is.
Overall, she was simply a delight to work with. Picture posted with permission from her owner.
