rjw63 Posted February 15, 2017 Share Posted February 15, 2017 I also think about the inner workings of my car engine, as I've had it 8 years and it never breaks down, I think about the oil coursing through the parts. Oh, and tits. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted February 16, 2017 Author Share Posted February 16, 2017 How cool it must be to look at planet Earth from the Moon. Everything that's ever happened culturally, evolutionarily all consolidated on one stamp sized marble planet. Makes agendas, things and bits and bobs seem incredibly petty. I'd sit and watch it for hours, maaaaan. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hogso Posted February 16, 2017 Share Posted February 16, 2017 When I'm trying to get to sleep and I can't drop off, I imagine scenarios such as 'zombie apocolaypse', 'alien invasion' or 'Jurassic Park: Nuneaton'. I have guns - somehow - and would plunder the local hospital for supplies (although in the case of ZA this may pose a problem). Petrol station not too far away. I live in a 3 storey block of 6 flats. We could work together, fortify the ground floor and stairwell - take shifts on lookout from the top floor. Sleep and eat on the middle floor. Then maybe I'd kill everyone else so me and the girly can have the place and all the supplies to ourselves. We'd survive. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and tits. I also think about the inner workings of your car engine, given that you've a Rover that hasn't broken down in 8 years. Have you contacted the Guinness book of records? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the fact that other than Michael Collins who took it, every single human being that has ever existed, alive or dead, is contained within the frame of this photograph. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also like those "relative size" videos you sometimes see on "how things work" 's twitter. Where it's a photo of someone then just zooms out until you get to the edge of space or whatever. Whenever you're having a bad time with trivial things like work or whatever, that should put things into perspective. I also wonder when the 1st person to climb something massive, to dangle off the side of it with a headcam, just for a photo opportunity will fall to their death too. What a waste it will be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do similar things, it's surprising how well it works when you're trying to sleep. My most common method is to pretend in my head I'm a wrestler called Bulldozer Baz and by the time I've gone through half a match I'm asleep. I've never got so far as developing a finishing move. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that might be true. But I'm absolutely not interested in finding it. I suppose I am waiting the inevitable click-bait story to come onto my Facebook timeline. Shame really. I wonder why they chose to do it? Is it the "going viral" thing? Is it boredom? I know people like taking particular risks for rushes and stuff, but it's just insane to me! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I like these kinds of things. One of my faves that you can do on a nice clear night - locate Orion's belt, best done around January. From there look at Orion itself. The star in the top left of Orion, with a faint red hue that may or may not be distinguishable, is Betelgeuse. If you were to swap our Sun for Betelgeuse, it would engulf everything up to Jupiter. And that's the 31st largest known star in the universe. Phew. Plus it's pronounced Beatlejuice, so that's fun too. If you really want to scare yourself with scale, check out the largest 'suggested' known supermassive blackhole at S5 0014+81 Spoiler Edited February 16, 2017 by hogso 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree with the original statement on photo. 'All the building blocks for them' are not actual human beings. So, I'd say, every single human being that has ever existed, alive or dead, before it was taken, and the building blocks for those who will exist after, is contained within the frame of that photograph.
