I was gonna be like, "remember when that Carl Sagan remix went viral a couple years ago?"
But apparently it was uploaded 14 years ago so I'll just
ππ§βπ¦³ππͺ¦
I thought this was weed memes for a second
Was Steve Erwin really kind to animals? Didn't he wrestle them son's of bitches?
Ikr? He had a beef with every crocodile he could laid his hands on.
They were on a walk with tv crew when Steve saw a crocodile. He said βthat motherfuckerβ and before everyone knew he jumped and got the creature in chokehold until the tv crew managed to separate them. Croc barely made it out alive to his wife and kids.
Everyone thinks Australia zoo was for the preservation of animals, when it was really Steve's own personal fight club.
I worked there in the 90s and the amount of times I had to physically pull him off of animals throughout the day was ridiculous, I kept telling him, Steve its a fucking emu... It isn't trying to steal your wife mate!
How did this ppl (or others like them) not spontaneously become some default universal role models and some sort of standard we judge ourselves, others, and humanity as a whole is beyond me.
Even from a completely selfish pov each of us would want at least the majority of other people to be like them. That's how you get (ever) nice(er) things.
I mean, I know the answer why that's not the case (they can't be monetised as efficiently as "starts"), but still.
For many of us they are/were.
Also, on the topic of PBS potheads:
Billions and billions of THC molecules, winding their way within veins, passing through the violent pumping whirlpool of the heart, then thrust out with great force via the arteries and capillaries of the circulatory system, carried along by red blood cells, pushed upwards against the force of gravity, towards their final destination in the cerebral cortex, where they take one final step through the blood/brain threshold and into the roiling soupstuff of consciousness...
Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and Billions, and ..... Uhhhh.... .........Billions. Duuuude
I'm terrible at impersonations. Suddenly Carl Sagan's voice is coming out of my mouth.
It's soothing to read it in his voice.
I was thinking the other day that Bob Vila should be in this pantheon, too.
Edit: And James Burke and Tim Hunkin and Rex Garrod
Norm Abraham too, his safety speil is etched into my brain
Be kind to your tools? Or to old houses?
I live by both of these, and it has worked out well for me!
be kind to your wood
Hah! Very punny!
...but you must first invent the universe
Yes, that's what the drugs are for.
Was Carl Sagan a stoner? Or do I just not know what "baked" means?
It isn't meant literally. It just means he comes off as mildly baked. I also have mildly baked syndrome and people occasionally ask me for drugs, even though I barely touch coffee.
He loved baked beans, maybe?
https://www.theguardian.com/science/1999/aug/24/spaceexploration
He was "prolific."
Sagan also wrote that pot enhanced his experience of food, particularly potatoes, as well as music and sex.
I believe the kids today call this "based AF."
He was so baked, he called baked potatoes as potatoes
I too find that music and sex improve the experience of potatoes.
Po-ta-toes! Boil them, mash them, stick them in a stew. Lovely big golden chips with a nice piece of fried fish.
I would love to see Carl Sagan and Samwise Gamgee hanging out, smoking some of the Hobbit's leaf and snacking on some potatoes.
With Gandalf having a chuckle at his theories on cosmology.
I think Rick Steves would fit in there, too.
Also, baked AF.
"basked AF"?
basking in something, certainly
If I ever start a religion, those will be the five pillars and the "saints" who embody them.
Humanist maybe?
Ayy, that's my phone wallpaper!
edit: I made it because I was looking for amoled-friendly DE wallpaper :D
