Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

Demisexuality vs. The World

The definition of demisexuality: not experiencing sexual attraction without a strong emotional bond.

The world: That’s what regular people do.

Reality: What allosexuals do is find someone sexually attractive and get to know the person, most likely via dating for a relative amount of time, to determine if they’re worth a relationship and/or having sex with. Thus, the results determine the action, not the attraction, which was already there.

For a demisexual, the results of interactions with a potential partner determine the attraction, which was not there already. So things like flirting aren’t really going to get our attention because we haven’t established a sexual attraction for the flirter.

There’s a “but” coming:

Even if a demisexual happens to develop a strong enough bond with another person, it doesn’t necessarily mean they will become sexually attracted to them, but they might be more open to intimacy with them.

Personally, unless we have had an honest, engaging conversation that makes me interested in seeing you more often, I won’t say yes to a date, even if I find you aesthetically attractive; and more often than not, I will be turned off if the conversation swings toward my body or sex. First impressions reveal first intentions.

yes my favorite type of fanfiction consists of characters getting tenderly cared for and comforted after a lifetime of being forced to suffer alone in silence, no this doesn't say anything about me

The education system failed them, but physics sure won't.

Daily reminder to all my creatives; it’s okay not to post every single day! Take breaks, make things that’ll never be posted online, work on projects that are just for you, do things completely unrelated to your online presence! Don’t burn out trying to appease the algorithm ♡
