Units of time as according to 10 yr old Josh (which I still use every now and then):

1 toothbrushing -> 2 mins
1 spongebob short -> 15 mins
1 spongebob episode -> 30 mins
1 church service -> 1 hr

Am I alone here?

Dogs are the urban version of cows. You can’t see one without saying “dog”

@AuthorKAnthony Yup! Happened with my current novel. I actually wasn't that angry or sad though because I knew the rewrite would be so much better! (Spoiler alert: totally unbiased, peer reviewed statistical analysis shows that it's 312x better)

On this day 35 years ago, bounty hunter Samus Aran landed on planet Zebes when #Metroid launched in Japan.

@careyksloan I worry about this too! My rulemof thumb is to assume yes and restructure the scene. I figure my boredom would be evident in the writing, making it less enjoyable anyway

#Astronomy #nerd
Priori:
1. The Sun is 4.5 billion years old
2. The orbital period of the sun about the Milky Way is 0.24 billion years

Assumptions:
The sun's orbital period has remained constant

Result: The sun has revolved around the Milky Way only 19 times🤯

Anyone who can tie their tie to the correct length in under 4 attempts is a magician.

[Josh Scaralia @jscaralia]

1. Cowboy
2. Pirate
3. Knight

If forced to choose, that is how I would rank them.

Let me start by saying that my understanding of quantum mechanics is rudimentary at best.

What happens to an entangled particle when its sibling falls into a black hole? Is the paradox resolved using Hawking's hairy black holes? 🤓#science #nerd

@Nooor_Khalil We'll mine asteroids for them in the belt 😎

I've been thinking long and hard on this (approx 2 mins) and I think I have an answer now. The first step in terraforming Mars should be injecting high density metals into its core for a stronger magnetosphere/gravitational pull. #science #nerd
