This is fucking crazy.

[Oneironaut]

We are all inhabiting the very thin hard outer shell of a ball of lava so huge our puny monkey brains can't possibly make an accurate mental image of its size. At any given moment we are traveling east at hundreds of meters per second, but we don't feel it. Our ball of lava is so massive that everything we see is stuck in its gravitational field, including, luckily, our oxygen supply which is not flying away into outer space. Everything on our planet that is not hydrogen or helium was created at the centers of stars, gigantic fireballs so hot that atomic nuclei are fused together and turned into heavier elements. The heavy elements were then strewn about the galaxy through supernovas, the violent explosions created as stars collapse in on themselves and die, explosions which can be brighter than all the other stars in the galaxy combined. From this process comes everything from the oxygen in our lungs to the iron in our blood to the carbon in the DNA necessary for creating THC. We are currently circling one of these fireballs at a distance of some 150 million kilometers. When we are not facing it we can see hundreds or even thousands of them so far away that most of the light you see from them was emitted long before you were born. This is because we live in the Milky Way Galaxy, a giant disc of nuclear fireballs 100,000 light years across orbiting a supermassive black hole. This is all so fucking crazy it makes me wonder how people can consider this place normal, and actually be bored by it!

Yes, I am high, in case you were wondering... :stoned:

I had a funny feeling you where high before i finished the 2nd sentence so i figured to look at the bottom to see if you mentioned you where high, now im cracking up about the coincidence

[dog420]

End of the world is coming so soon?

Peace

[Oneironaut]

Nah, our world is going to be around long long after we go extinct. If it can survive an impact with an object the size of Mars, it can survive a rogue species of superintelligent chimpanzees.

What

[spacelamb]

Heh...yeah, I didn't have to wonder if you were high either. Nice job posting, everything's spelled right and you used punctuation!! Yay!! I know it can be hard to put together a coherant post when you're baked.....

Peace

[CYRAX]

Well, i'll smoke a bowl and come back to this thread acting as weird as him

[Oneironaut]

What

Scientists think the Moon was created when an object the size of Mars impacted with the Earth. The Earth has put up with asteroids, comets, volcanoes, ice ages, earthquakes, tsunamis, the continents ripping apart and smashing together, and all kinds of shit like that. To think that the world is coming to an end soon, or that we pose some kind of threat to it, is laughable.

When I look up at night, I think I can see the stars spinning due to the rotation of the planet. Is that possible?

[Euphoric]

Wow good thinking going on here

Humans just smash up the whole "delicate ecosystem" and turn it into a bunch of garbage and bugs

Some times i wonder if one of the dinosaurs species did the exact same thing as us, and essentially served the same function? (to spread life to space and create mass extinctions which develop evolution)
