For things that are "hmmm".
Rule 1: All post titles except for meta posts should be just plain "hmmm" and nothing else, no emotes, no capitalisation, no extending it to "hmmmm" etc.

This photo makes me happy. Just the right about of found absurdity with the perfect framing.
Yep. I love it, too, for the same reasons.
You’ll love deichkind if you only could understand deutsche maimais
Reminds me of this comic
Why hold it? Put it on a stand.
And what happens when it falls over?
I trust a good stand over anyone holding it. People can trip, fall asleep, or just get tired.
Both of these remind me of salvia divinorum (gravity go ɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹɹq)
I am so fascinated by saliva but in don't want to get stuck being a ceiling fan for a middle-aged couple for the next 15 years.
I'm already traumatized enough as-is by too much 25i-NBOMe in my 20s. That shit makes DMT seem like weed. I've traveled across dimensions on NBOMes, but I could always open my eyes to ground myself; I can't imagine how much crazier saliva must be, when you have no connection to reality.
Was not expecting an NBOMe reply to this.
Well it's the closest I've had to a saliva experience, the most I can relate. I'm curious as to why you weren't expecting such a reply.
It's just NBOMe is rare as fuck and seeing it in the wild is crazy. I'm the only one I know who has used it.
Might be these days. But a decade ago it was fucking everywhere. So many people I know who thought they experienced their first LSD trip were actually sold an NBOMe instead, myself included.
When I finally got the opportunity to try real LSD, I was seriously disappointed. I was like, "where are the pretty colors"? And that's when I learned that LSD is more of a mental trip than a visual one. The headspace is totally different too. Felt like a schizophrenic on the stuff. I can fake being sober on 25i, not so much on acid.
Honestly, that is why some people love acid. It has helped a number of people step outside their selves and witness the world with clean eyes.
Not necessarily something to drop if you want to get the giggles and see pretty colors.
Would be super useful for zero G environments.
Would up matter without gravity?
I mean a lot of questions arose if you think at all about this comic, so I get what you’re saying.
It appears to create gravitational pull in whatever direction the hilt is pointed. My guess is it only works in a certain area around the sword, otherwise the universe would have already imploded from all gravity everywhere pulling in the same direction.
Assuming all interplanetary gravity is also gone, all stars would eventually travel in (roughly) the same direction but at different speed. There would be some collisions but I don't think the mass would be imploding.
What happens when the stars eventually reach relativistic speeds?
this is the kind of incline boomers had to walk to school and back
School must be out for the summer, as I don't see 3 feet of snow.
Great to see my parents found an actual picture from when they were young of their walk to work..
Both ways.
Where’s the snow? I was lied to!
Well, nobody ever drove me to school when it was ninety degrees below
We had to walk buck naked through forty miles of snow
At this scale light isn’t affected by gravity, keeping the post up doesn’t help the dispersal of light.
This is exactly the kind of slope the stair master is DESIGNED to prepare you for!
Great, looks like somebody bent the ground again.

There is a special Dutch Instagram page with images like this. https://www.instagram.com/schevepalen

That's pretty fucking racist
I love these, it's so cool. Thanks for sharing.
Typical New England driveway.
This is not an exaggeration. Me and my family (simple Southern Midwest folk) tried driving in New England in the winter and almost fell off the face of the Earth!
"There can only be one!"
Each lamp post was bought from a different city and is parallell to the lamp posts in its city of origin.
That's super cool! I was just making a Highlander reference.

Oh I love Pittsburgh!
This is a great photo! Makes you think & physically interact with it by having to turn your head. 12/10.
When I went too far transforming the terrain in Rollercoaster Tycoon
New wallpaper for my phone
A little WW1 Tommy on the piss.
I want to cycle down it.
Dang that's a satisfying photo. So well composed.
Reminds me of the last episodes in JoJo 5 - Jolyne Cujoh's arc
Huh that's crazy
