    I like that out of all that, this is the part that you took issue with 😂🤣

    Though, I might counter that with the fact that we’ve conducted at least rudimentary low-earth orbit reconnaissance flights since the end of WWII/the beginnings of the Cold War with the U2 and (later) SR-71s… So, while my phrasing may have been off, I still feel as if there arguments to be made in favor of there being sufficient vacuum at their operational ceiling(s) to allow for a little extreme breathplay, if you will.

    “Now available from Hasbro™, the Demon Core Playset! For the first time, now you too can experience the thrill of needlessly edging the most destructive force ever devised by humankind to the brink of supercriticality using nothing more than your own hands and a flathead screwdriver! (For… reasons!) Perfect for proving exactly who has the biggest balls in the room! Right up until you fry them off and give everyone in the vicinity Super Mega Turbo Cancer, of course! (Well, the lucky ones who manage to survive, at any rate 😁)”

    Fr tho, these people were well-educated physicists with access to some of the most cutting-edge technology/equipment available at the time, who knew they were fucking around with what is probably the most powerful destructive force humanity has ever encountered/created in our known history… Less than a kilogram of the material in the bomb dropped on Hiroshima actually achieved fission, and yet that was clearly still more than powerful enough to cause death and destruction on a scale previously unimaginable - particularly for a single weapon.

    And these guys then have the bright idea to basically flip a salad bowl over on top of it and manually try to maintain an aperture (with the help of a flathead screwdriver tip - for safety reasons, obviously) that is as small as possible in order to see just how close they can get it to the point of no return, ya know, just for funsies? Because humans are notoriously good at never making any sort of mistakes, right?

    I can only assume this was their last resort after the excitement of auto-erotic asphyxiation via popping the hatch of the command module open while in orbit wore off.

    Dude, I’m on .world as well and holy hell the ‘timeout’ errors every time I click/scroll/look at anything too hard get a little trying sometimes… It seems to be largely cosmetic (if that makes sense) as it hasn’t eaten any of my comments or anything so far, but… lol

    Also, odd and potentially problematic thing I’ve run into: so far, any /c/ link I’ve attempted to click on in jerboa flat out CTDs the whole thing. I’m not sure if that is a jerboa thing or a .world issue (somehow? Maybe? Probably not?), but just a bit annoying when I’m actively trying to find new communities to add 🤣😂

    🤣😂 omg, you’re cracking me up, dude, quit… First of all, I don’t think enough time has passed for there to be ‘classic reddit migrant’ anything, but I do know that either way you can take your pathetic little attempts at gatekeeping and go fuck yourself with them. 😁Also, if you have such a problem with people coming to lemmy, then why the fuck are you shitposting in a thread that’s clearly not for you?

    Secondly, I would contend that I can’t insult something you don’t have.

    And I didn’t ask you to reply to a single thing I’ve said, yet… Here you are. Those aren’t arguments, they’re called facts, junior. Now, please, get outta here with this sad, little man energy.
