@twittytelly I love this

I love it someone please explain wtf I just watched

@national-shitpost-registry This is a modular synth! Basically an instrument that works with voltage that you can control in order to generate and modulate different parameters to create sound, logic and, eventually, music. Here what is happening is that the mushroom is controlling the voltage thanks to the pin. By doing that, all the parameters connected to the mushroom went crazy, probably because it generates a really weird voltage and in a very random way. You can check a youtuber called Andrew Huang and his music and also Omri Cohen to learn how to do it yourself with a freeware called VCV Rack!

The electricity generated by the mushrooms has to do with the hyphae, the ‘roots’ of the mushroom, that make up the organism! The ends of the hyphae contain potassium ions that the mushroom uses to send electric pulses across its mycelium! It’s theorised that this is how distant parts of a mushroom ‘know’ what’s happening to each other!

Some cool way to use our science to play

Cool!  I missed getting to see it tonight...er...last night.

Just want y'all to know that in these images Saturn is ~450 million miles farther from Earth than Jupiter is. Also, because the speed of light is finite, you're seeing Jupiter as it was 48 minutes before the picture was taken, but seeing Saturn as it was 89 minutes before the picture was taken.

Saw on the local news the other day how Salvation Army was struggling for donations during the pandemic and all I said was “Good.”

this seems like a good thing to bring around as people holiday shop

Nothing like absolutely vIBING with people who lived 102 years ago
