I don't know where the Devil's staircase leads, but I'm taking it.

What?? No way!! :O

@Excrubulent@slrpnk.net avatar

We have to keep secret all this material that may or may not be toxic but is definitely all around us because otherwise tyre makers might not be able to sell us as many tyres, and that's really important for some reason.

Is dark matter just dwarf galaxies?

And I would have gotten away with it too it wasn't for you meddling kids.

Another great discovery that will curiously disappear within a year

Meaning... to tax oil production more, so bio-degredable alternatives have better chances?

I don’t think there are many black holes in Rome. But I suppose they really want to make sure.

TheControlled , to science in New evidence found for Planet 9

Back in my day it was called Planet X, god dammit!

JamesTBagg ,

Because back in my (our) day Pluto was number, so Planet X worked. Planet VIIII doesn't look as good.

5wim ,

Uh, you mean "IX"?

Klear ,

That means "Boy who is not able to satisfactorily explain what a Hrung is, nor why it should choose to collapse on Betelgeuse Seven". I don't see how that applies here.

5wim ,

Fair

Gabu ,

VIIII is a valid way to write 9, though antiquated. If you look at very old clocks, you'll see they all use this notation.

5wim ,

Didn't realize homie was an antiquated clock.
(Assumed the usage of Roman numerals, like in the references being made, in which case I don't believe the clumsy VIIII only used on old clocks would really be valid.)

Opisek ,

The reason clocks use it, is to not make it look visually unbalanced. Most often they write 4 as IIII. I find it infuriating to break such a simple rule though.

But also, I've never ever seen VIIII.

Gabu ,

Julius Caesar's memoir of war in Gaul makes use of VIIII, for instance. You're right that it's much rarer, but was still used contemporarily and in modern times.

Yes, Ix, let's start naming these planets like its classic SciFi.

A new planet in a distant orbit, you say?
In before the signal is older than the universe itself.

The downvotes are not getting the reference smh.

Science compels us to blow up the sun!

Those Ads at the beginning of legitimate copies of DVDS and movies, really bugged me, like why are you annoying the people who actually bought the product!? Also the people downloading stuff online seemed cool in those videos so I think the ads had the opposite effect a lot of the time.

If buying is not owning, copying is not stealing. Simple as that.

cabron_offsets , to Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ in Study finds anti-piracy messages backfire, especially for men

Make it easy for me to get the shit that I want and maybe I won’t pirate. It’s fucking easier to just pirate shit than to sign up for a bunch of services and deal with asscunt companies. Fuck you.

rifugee , to Science in Rats have an imagination, new research finds

Well, of course! It takes imagination to be a great chef.
