as a taga-QC na not gated community. yung mga karinderya samin may qrph/gcash, yung mga restaurant and 7-11 may card payment. yung mga family owned stores tumatanggap din ng gcash.

public transpo lang ata ako hindi cashless. jeep/trike/metered taxi.

As a woman I am extremely aware that the reason I have my rights is because a woman somewhere got up, got MOUTHY, organised, raged, made herself INCREDIBLY inconvenient until things changed for the better for all of us. Which is precisely why I see women who uphold the patriarchy as traitors to all women.

when someone tries to tell me abt wattpad, but i was on it before there was a premium option, it had no ads, authors posted new chapters at 3am, the comment section was easily pushing 100+ under an hr, mafia troupes were taking over rankings, & 1D was buying me every other story

Genuinely a better question than most people realize.

Apollo 11 left a 2-foot wide panel of mirrors on the lunar surface in 1969. No power source, no wiring, no maintenance. Scientists have been shooting lasers at it from New Mexico ever since. The beam travels 239,000 miles, bounces off the mirrors, and returns in 2.5 seconds. That round trip is how we know the moon is drifting away from Earth at 3.8 centimeters per year. So yes, in a literal sense, they were checking if it would still be there.

The seismometers are the part that gets wild. Apollo 12 deliberately crashed its lunar module into the surface at 6,048 km/h. Scientists expected a brief shudder. The moon vibrated for over 55 minutes. On Earth, seismic waves from an equivalent impact die in seconds. Nobody had predicted this. So NASA did it again. Apollo 13 dropped its S-IVB rocket stage from orbit. Hit with the force of 11.5 tons of TNT. The vibrations lasted nearly three and a half hours.

The reason is water, or the lack of it. Earth's interior is damp. Moisture in rock acts like a sponge, absorbing seismic energy. The moon is bone dry, cool, and rigid. Shockwaves have nothing to absorb them. They just bounce back and forth through solid stone until the rock itself stops vibrating. Scientists described it as the moon ringing like a bell.

The seismometers ran for almost 8 years and detected over 13,000 seismic events. Turns out the moon has four types of quakes: deep ones caused by Earth's gravitational pull, shallow ones from the crust shrinking as the interior cools, thermal ones when sunrise thaws the frozen surface, and impacts from meteorites. In 2023, Caltech reanalyzed old Apollo 17 data and found a fifth type: the lunar lander itself creaking and popping every morning as the sun heated it. Every five to six minutes, for five to seven hours straight.

They went up to prove the moon was once part of Earth, measure how fast it's leaving, and figure out what's happening inside a world with no atmosphere, no water, and no tectonic plates. "Checking if it was still there" is honestly closer to the truth than most people's actual answer.

Always go to the funeral. Always go to the hospital. You don't need to know what to say.

In times of profound crisis, people don't remember your words, they only remember whether you showed up for them at their lowest moment.

This might be the Gen Z in me talking, but some of y'all take these jobs way too seriously and Why are you snitching on coworkers, skipping breaks, coming in on your days off, & refusing to use your PTO or call out?? Especially for jobs with little to no room for growth. Be for real lol guys

[😒 @bffrberries]

they finished a tour and released an entire album. they "collapsed" cuz harry wanted out and they had no business continuing on without him, which zayn KNEW which is why he jumped to get out first lmao

Men have the same rights no matter where they go in the world. A woman's rights depends on the country she lives in or the religion she follows.

Interesting how wars are named after the country attacked: Vietnam War, Iraq War, Afghanistan War, Iran War... That's because if they were named after the attacker, it would be too confusing, since 80% of conflicts would be called the US war.

The man who invented the theory behind quantum immortality died at 51 of a heart attack. He was legally drunk. He'd spent years chain-smoking and drinking, never saw a doctor, and his weight ballooned. He believed his own theory meant he couldn't really die.

His name was Hugh Everett III. In 1957, as a Princeton grad student, he came up with an idea that split physics in half. His theory says that whenever something happens at the tiniest level of reality, the universe doesn't pick just one result. It splits into copies. Both results happen, each in its own version of the world.

Quantum immortality takes that and stretches it. If reality always splits, then every time you face death, there's at least one version where you survive. And since dead people can't experience anything, the only "you" that ever knows what happened is the surviving one. So from your perspective, you can never die.

But MIT physicist Max Tegmark, who popularized this idea, walked back on it years ago. His problem: dying isn't like flipping a light switch. Your brain doesn't jump from on to off. It fades. Cells break down, and awareness gets foggy. The thought experiment only works if death hits faster than a single thought. Real death is almost always slow, and that breaks the whole thing.

There's a math problem on top of it. Every time reality splits, and you survive, the slice of "you" that exists in the equations gets cut in half. Survive 10 rounds, and the remaining you hold less than 0.1% of its original presence. Tegmark now says you should just expect totally normal odds of dying.

Sean Carroll, a physicist who actually believes in Many Worlds, flat out calls quantum immortality "a bad idea." When reality splits, future versions of you become separate people. The you that dies is a real person who really died. Having a copy survive somewhere else doesn't undo that.

Everett never wavered. His biographer says he was fully convinced his theory guaranteed him immortality. He died in his bed in July 1982. His teenage son Mark found the body and later said it was the first time he'd ever touched his father.

Everett asked for his ashes to be thrown in the garbage.

Fourteen years later, his daughter Elizabeth took her own life. She left a note asking for her ashes to be thrown out, too, so she could end up in the right parallel universe to meet up with Daddy.

Philosopher David Lewis considered what quantum immortality would mean if true. You'd survive. But the theory says nothing about surviving healthy. What you'd get is a slow, endless decline. Body falling apart, always barely alive, but never quite crossing into death. Like Tithonus from Greek mythology, who got eternal life but nobody thought to include eternal youth. He just aged. Forever.
