  • Why do you think renewables are better for the environment? Nuclear is very clean and produces next to no emissions. In comparison, solar panels have a production process which produces considerable emissions, once they fail (which is in around 25 - 30 yrs), they basically turn into toxic waste. Similar goes for wind turbines, but they also totally ruin the landscape, since roads have to be built in order to access and maintain them. Additionally they’re not viable everywhere and look ugly af.

    That’s how it’s done in chinese. Imo DD/MM/YYYY is better though, since in practice the year is most commonly just the current year and isn’t nearly as important as the day or month.



  • This post reminded me of a dream I had today.

    I was hiking up a hill through a forest and saw a snake by the side of the path. I stopped to look at it. It was completely black with a strange white dotted pattern on its back, unlike any snake where I live. Then I heard something moving a little uphill, I turned to look, and it was another snake, and next to it another. I looked around and the ground was writhing with snakes. I started running away into the forest, but it was getting darker and darker. Then I heard an ominous whirring sound getting progressively louder. I woke up and it was the washing machine.








  • This happened a few months ago when I went to Iceland. One night, me and some other people drove out to a relatively remote part of Reykjavik to try and see the aurora since the conditions were really good. We were standing there just looking at it (we did end up seeing it), when we heard what sounded like a woman screaming from the woods nearby. We noped out almost immediately and drove away, but I still regret not checking it out. I’m appending a photo I took there to add to the creep factor.

    Bonus story, although this one isn’t really that creepy. This was on the first day of a summer camp I went to. I went to sleep a little earlier, since I was really tired, and as I’m lying still, trying to fall asleep, I hear this girl I was sharing my tent with enter. I didn’t really know her since it was the first day. Then I feel something like a hand on my cheek/the side of my head. I’m freaking out at this point, but I didn’t wanna turn around since it would be really awkward. Then I feel the “hand” move away in a really unusual way. I turn to look what it is and it’s a FUCKING TOAD. Damn I’m an idiot.
