Sublimation Chamber ⚗️

Tool used to purify and make sublime. I like to talk about economics, public policy, science, and philosophy.

~100kg of Martian rock falls to the surface of the Earth every year.

About half of this is non-sterilized, meaning it never reached a high enough temperature to kill bacteria.

If Mars ever had bacterial life, that life most likely reached Earth alive at some point.

@DerekPederson3 @Noahpinion Yeah it’s pretty weird to group those 3 together.

@kojrey_codes @claudeai It’s because they don’t know if you’re a criminal/terrorist.

@BushSniffer6969 @AlecStapp Both should be eradicated. We have the technology. I think it’s a lot easier for mosquitoes though.

@zetalyrae @JackFeynman @BjarturTomas If autism is “doing anything you enjoy” then yea you’re right that most things are downstream of status or *autism.

[Sublimation Chamber ⚗️ @The_Sublimatory]

@CherryTruthy @JackFeynman @BjarturTomas Oh I thought you meant humans generally were predisposed to be pathetic in this way, not that this persons specific genetic makeup made him so pathetic.

You’re right, but that logic can be extended to all behavior. Violence, etc., is the same deal. Seems fine to condemn anyway.

[Sublimation Chamber ⚗️ @The_Sublimatory]

@giorgiottolina @JackFeynman @BjarturTomas Yeah but doing math proofs was already mostly not meaningful. For example the only use for this particular proof is to accumulate status.

[Sublimation Chamber ⚗️ @The_Sublimatory]

@zetalyrae @JackFeynman @BjarturTomas Some stuff feels good. I’m not eating 6000 calories of fried food for status or because I’m autistic.

@CherryTruthy @JackFeynman @BjarturTomas If my work (nuclear physics) got automated I’d do something else.

Mastering something new is fun and I find that mathematician’s mindset to be pathetic.

@GaryMooreCA @claudeai Every query is a new model. It is killed and cloned fresh every time.

@BrianPThomas @Thackej @RogueWPA Are they long and skinny?

[Sublimation Chamber ⚗️ @The_Sublimatory]

@MaineHippo83 @actsmaniac Yeah man Nazis and anti-growth Leftists are both bad. Normal people understand this.

[Sublimation Chamber ⚗️ @The_Sublimatory]

@Langerhans_isle @gbrl_dick That’s a good theory. I bet that’s a big factor.

@silentdebrief @luigi_fan298 @agraybee Yeah it’s pretty strange how popular this myth is.

[Sublimation Chamber ⚗️ @The_Sublimatory]

@ellafella5 @ExistentialEnso @agraybee What makes you think inference is not marginally profitable?

[Sublimation Chamber ⚗️ @The_Sublimatory]

@full_kelly_ @DmitryRybin1 Only makes sense if you want to confuse them for a couple minutes while you scramble the jets.

Octopuses are highly intelligent animals with 9(!) distributed brains.

But they never evolved into a dominant species primarily because they are born orphans and don't recieve any knowledge from family. The father dies after mating and the mother dies after the eggs hatch.

[Sublimation Chamber ⚗️ @The_Sublimatory]

Mars most likely had habitable conditions about 500 million years before Earth.

It’s entirely possible that life evolved on Mars then traveled to Earth on a meteorite and we are all descended from Martians.

This is a minority scientific opinion but not a crackpot one.

Surviving the space environment (radiation, vacuum, cold temperatures) and atmospheric entry are all very plausible for bacteria in moderately sized rocks.

@moose_antler @liminal_warmth That’s how I felt in late 2025 but not today. It’s was a neat tool back then.

Now it’s *exceptional* at doing my job. Like legitimately better than hiring another PhD.
