I see what you did there. Putin it mildly.

Amen to that.

Life: Electrical charge across a cell membrane. Death: You didn't come with extra batteries.

That's terrifying.

no, we're just really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really small.

I met a girl (about 40yrs old) in Perth years ago, I was a person hired to take her out on fun adventures, although she just preferred the library and movies. Found out when I met her mum, she was a promising academic student and at 19 just had an aneurysm and needed special care ever since. made me think differently about them.

I am a nurse in UK and there are bacterial infections that was resistant to all known antibiotics. Antibiotic resistant infections are not just in India, but you just do not hear about them. Also, people need to stop asking for antibiotics for colds and the flu. They do not work!!!

AI isn’t ‘smart’. It doesn’t think. It just pulls together information

It's insane just how many close calls have occurred in things like this. How the hell are we still alive?

Hello anxiety my old friend

That’s freaking me out. It would be fine if it just turned off for a couple of days and then it turned back on but the fact that we would just lose all our technological advancements just like that is scary

We have shielding on many electronic devices/components that would protect against this exact scenario.

I'm pretty sure it will knock out electronics in vehicles, too. Just like the EMP would from a nuclear blast. Scary stuff!

Bring it on. A reset button.

Oh f*** I just hope this happens after I die another 50-60 years maybe...

For how many centuries have we had electronic devices with information stored on them?

Idk if it's related, but one of my clients said she gets emails about abnormal solar flares (apparently you can just sign up to get them) and she also said that she's been getting more notifications than usual, one or more a day the last week, when normally they are more spread out. But I don't know anything about Astronomy, so it's probably nothing 😳😅😂

It's not if, it's when this is going to happen. People putting their money and things into electronics are r******d. Because this IS GOING TO HAPPEN.

great, one more thing to worry about. I hope spa 50 sunscreen helps

In what way are we “overdue” for one? Do they happen cyclically?

Reading things like this makes me feel very relieved of living off-grid in the woods. I would miss Internet (All of you pandas! 🐼) but otherwise, bye bye electricity, sorry not sorry. 👋

This. I just hope im not flying when it happens.

Wouldn't mind this one happening.

I wouldn't be affected. I don't live by my electronic devices, and would welcome such an interference. It would prove me correct in so many ways.

Do you know what will bring about the fall of the American Empire? Team Building Exercises.

It's the only organ that named itself.

You mean commit suicide? (I'm sure this will be automatically censored, what a circus this is)

actually it is just the pauli exclusion principle and some simple quantum mechanics that makes things 'solid'. nothing too complicated, until you thing about.

Check out prions. It’s simply an mis-folded protein that can unfortunately transmit its shape to other proteins causing them to mis-fold as well. There is no cure and the contagious protein must be destroyed using acids or by burning to prevent its spread. Spongiform encephalitis, Creutzfeldt–Jakob disease, fun stuff.

A few people have said it, but a sixth is happening right now. It's not "going to happen", we are literally living through it. Species of every kingdom are going extinct faster than we can capture them to preserve them. It's wild and terrifying.

I personally find this soothing. The idea that this is it, that's it, that's what would scare me. As long as there are things we don't know but that could still be discovered there's still hope. Maybe tomorrow someone discovers the secret to make everything better, or, and I know that's hard to accept, something surfaces that wipes us all out and ends all suffering. Either way, as long as there's something left we don't know, there's a possibility that suffering ends

In 100?? Just think of 2013,2003,1993..you don't need a hundred years for drastic change. Ten are more than enough

No sovereign nation *admits* to knowing where they are.

I lie to myself already the point is?

...and both are equally disturbing.

I spent 10+ years commercial fishing around Alaska, I can confirm you DO NOT WANT TO KNOW WHAT'S DOWN THERE! So many terrible ways for the ocean to kill you. She gives zero f***s!

This one makes no sense. Are you saying if it wasn't for gravity we would "fall" upwards? Falling and the concept of up and down only make sense if there's gravity, otherwise these concepts are meaningless.

No point in worrying about it, then

I'd exit myself. The symptims are beyond frightening. I'm a nurse and neurology was is one of my specialities. I have taken care people with creutzfeldt-jakob or late stage of syphilis. That diseases don't frighten me as much as Rabies!

This person doesn't really understand just how much of the galaxy is empty space, and how far away everything is from everything else. The moon, which looks so close is 238,900 miles away. Flying in a jet airplane, if that was possible in space, would take around 2.5 weeks of constant flying. The distances is also 30 times the diameter of the earth. So, to visualize the distance, take a basketball as the earth, and place a baseball, the moon 23 feet away. Those are the dimensions, not what kids have on their mobile hanging in their room. A basketball which is 23 feet, or 33 bananas, away from a tennis ball. The sun, BTW, would be a ball that is 86 feet in diameter, and is over 9,000 feet away from the basketball. You can calculate the distance in bananas on your own this time.

Isn't that pretty much like how we live now? we shed dead skin, our hair and nails get cut, blood is created and destroyed inside you all the time. Even from our infant years, our baby teeth fall out and are replaced. We're changing ourselves all the time.

I read a lot about the bombings of Japan lately. The description of the impacts on the human body sends me to a place in mind only few things can do. Survivors mad explicit paintings and told about what they've seen. The feelings the people have had, still have... It could drive me insane, if I think about that too long. It doesn't affect me that this happened but knowing what people went through makes me go crazy. I've experienced a lot of pain in my life that was done to me. I'd take some more to help ease this feelings they've had and their families still have.

and it will be beautiful.

If you get hit hard enough anywhere on your head...
