Quantum physics: everything literally is probabilities.

The waves of this comment collapsed into photons entering my eyes showing me a joke about superposition once I observed it.

Wow, this is the setup for some excellent dystopian scifi. Or, like, real fucking life.

Someone said this bird eats insects, so it’s not violent for the fish at least.

I was very upset to learn that the Artemis II crew didn’t turn on Wizard of Oz at the exact moment that Dorothy opens her door, synced to the second they lost contact with Earth.

Beyond what’s been said already, we 100% do not have any way to take a picture of a planet outside our solar system that shows any detail of the planet’s surface, and no plans to make a telescope that can do that. What we do right now to even tell if there are planets around other starts is look at the star’s light and see if it gets slightly darker on regular intervals, indicating that a planet is crossing between us and the star in a regular orbit. Right now we can barely take a decent picture of Pluto, which is in our solar system. And checking the light brightness is really only good for looking for large planets the size of Jupiter and Saturn.

It’s like seeing a car at night on a mountainside 4 miles away with its headlights on. It’s just sitting there and you are wondering if it’s a car or something else. It’s hard to even tell it’s 2 lights, it just looks like one light from that distance. But what would we see if someone walked in front of the car with the headlights on? The light get dim on one side and bright again, then dim and bright again on the other side. Sort of the same thing.

As for the uncanny valley part, it’s because whoever came up with the graphic just did a random splash of water and land. The planet could be orange and magenta-colored, we have no idea. They used colors familiar to us looking at images of Earth because the intent is to make you think “it’s like Earth, but different.”

So is this is the fish equivalent of Bigfoot? Or like space aliens?

I hate that this is totally the opposite of how real conspiracy people think.

Edit:clarity

They genuinely believe this is some Capricorn 1 style psyop with an empty rocket. Once the rocket leaves their view, “we’re just supposed to trust NASA to tell is what’s going on?” Which, sadly, isn’t bad logic in is face, but during the Apollo missions, it was possible to use third party radio telemetry to prove they were, at least, in orbit.

Reverse the roles. The standing one is the conspiracy one saying “You see how much money they’re willing to spend to fool us?!” That’s legit how they think.

I’m 85% sure this lion is Ginger in Zambia’s South Luangwa National Park. Him and his brother Garlic are the main two of two Mfuwe pride. Ginger is balding like this, and it’s awkward.
