bipch erastosthenes schooled b.o.b. 2,230 years ago

Ok so this is cool but I always wondered how they knew the shadows were different at the same instant. I mean it is not like they had phones. How did they sync up that instant. I feel like that would be interesting to know but no one ever says.

^^^Does anybody know this one? How, that far apart, the time at which the shadows were observed was synced up? I am genuinely curious, not a goddamn moron asking a gotcha question. High/Low tide? (I live in the middle of the country I do not know for the precise habits of tidal activity.) The appearance of a star (or planet) in the sky? Something as utterly mundane as sunrise?

ANSWER EVEN COOLER THAN I HOPED!!

Eratosthenes’ work was thorough enough that by the time he finished revising his calculations, he ended up only 66 km off of the actual polar circumference of the Earth, or an error margin of 0.16%. [wiki]

worth noting that this is the most recent living person to have walked on the moon

fucking cringe

you post cringe on the moon once and then no one ever goes back there

Bro the “we can disagree but still be friends” is true about things like tv shows and shit but not fucking human rights

*pretends to be shocked but also maybe this will make people realize that Indigenous People Know What The Hell They’re Doing and Deserve Respect*

Who would’ve thought the people who have been living in the coldest fucking part of the planet for tens of thousands of years would have invented the most effective cold weather clothing. Mind blowing.

unlearn racism and white supremacy without expecting some kind of pat on the back for believing in basic human rights 

do u guys understand how creepy the pledge of allegiance is though like every day when ur a kid everybody just chants how great america is every morning it’s creepy

You do that every morning???

EVERY MORNING.

no son

Wait, other countries don’t do this.

*whispers* Not even Russia

RE FUCKING TWEET

You don’t realize just how creepy it is until you are the only one not doing it

I’m in Canada and we sing the national anthem every morning. I don’t think that’s the same thing though

The pledge of alliegance was made to help sell the flags, and nothing says “American capitalism” by worshipping profits

This one goes out to all my trans girls who are afraid to be sappy with their friends because when cis girls are gushy people think it's cute but when we do it people think it's weird

Trans girls are allowed to respond to this by sending me a bunch of heart emojis and unfiltered emotional nonsense, which I will return. This is a healing space.

Shoutout to all the people who are really romance repulsed, like to the extent that it's triggering. I notice people often talk about romance repulsion in terms of it just being kinda gross, I don't really think we recognise enough that there are people who can find it really triggering, not to same extent that we recognise that fact for sex repulsion.

It took 20 years but we’ve finally come full circle from phones that were too thick to fit in your pocket, to phones that are too long to fit in your pocket.

Taking a bite from a burger determines where the front of it is

i dont know if it needs to b said but whitewashing is more than just making a character of color’s skin drastically lighter. its the changing ethnic features like wide/big noses,big lips,mono lidded eyes,etc. to look more eurocentric. like when artists draw realistic anime characters but realistic just means white to them.
