Posts you had second thought about and decided not to post - put them here

it’s just the distance it travels in a year

Exactly, through the three spatial dimensions and the dimension of time.

Or the who knows how many spatial dimensions.

how about love

you don’t need to overcomplicate it by bringing in relativity. just remember light moves at a fixed pace, so the distance it travels in a fixed amount of time (365.25 days, for example) is also a fixed amount

why light moves at a fixed pace? why that pace appears not to change even if we move toward or away from the light? ok now you need to drag in e&m and relativity

Also why nothing moves faster than light

i prefer cups of coffee but yknow, just me

measure in love

It's the strongest force

coffee also

light in a metallic waveguide travels faster than light in free space. but if you modulate it to send information, the modulated light travels more slowly than in free space, making this fact and post useless.

ikr fascinating stuff, and yet also it also takes electrons in your car battery three hours to reach your headlights.

better maybe to think about this stuff like turning on a mile long hose, if there's already water in the hose then it comes out instantly the other end (ok not really it propagates at speed of sound iirc) but that doesn't mean the water from the faucet is traveling at the speed of sound down the hose

dont make me tap the sine

good god do I wish we could store light like water in a hose

it sounds like you might be interested in buying a dreamcatcher i can direct you to my etsy

what if i told you that we COULD store light like water in a hose

introducing hose of light

light hose aka the LÖSE, rhymes with nose

the most forgotten discontinued ikea shelf

löst but not fargotten

my new light hose, Pocahontas and me

Lately, I'm getting the feeling that I came in at the end. The best is over.

You never know, though, Guns 'n' Roses might release their best record yet!

Don't stop believing.

I like gross things made delicious, like:

Grappa: a vomit belch
Natto: a booger when you’re sick
Papaya: tasty poo
Oyster: a huge load from a dead guy

The Alpinist: a huge load from a dead guy

bands and chicken plates

remove one piece of chicken from an almost perfect chicken plate ...

stunned that imago has yet to shit on everyone polling their top 50 albums

(not that he would dare to do so with fgti)

(and tbf it is a bit much)

lol, i did consider, then reject, some sort of parody

oh wait fuck what's happened overnight

Parody time

leave the d'oh to rise

maybe once we get to 50 lists we can have a poll for which list is best

Is this going to be the week that ILM is completely unreadable? If so, suits me I suppose because I have stuff I need to get done.

"i was working in my LAB, late one night"

I'll take these polls over having the same 15 dad rock threads at the top all the time

the world needs more harmless diversions right now

i haven't opened any of them except calz's but can only imagine the contents of them

Time for NV to reinstate his 'What makes a man start polls?' board name prefix

I was actually going to do a poll today based on the best selling album in the UK in 1975 and one of the few albums my mum owned, "The Best of the Stylistics", but when I checked the tracklist it didn't have half the songs on it I thought it had.

i feel like we've done that one before? but yeah the Stylistics's catalogue is broken up over a few labels i think

anyway the Stylistics fucking rule

Nah, the poll's never been done. They've got too many good songs to fit on a single (vinyl) album tbh.

... when I say good I mean GREAT.

i'd do it myself but i'm on vacation

Why do you guys hate fun?

albums have been proven, by science, to be significantly less fun than singles

I don't mind people doing this, but I've def lost track of which polls I've voted in & which lists I wanted to comment on

Why do you guys hate fun?

Ok, imagine 100+ polls where we all put our top 50. All I'm asking is: are you sure?

How do you weirdos even rank albums it just seems very…neurodivergent. I just like stuff without worrying if it’s above or below another album by a completely different artist.
