  • The metric that’d be the most useful for the average lay-idiot like me would time estimates for multiple usage cases. Like, "this phone has a 50-30-4 battery, meaning:

    If you don’t have a bunch of shit running in the background or things like Bluetooth turned on, you just take it out of your pocket occasionally, send a text, then turn the screen off before repeating in a few hours: 50 hours,

    If you have a “normal” amount of activity for screen time and other battery-consuming activities: 30 hours,

    If we turn on EVERYTHING - screen at max brightness, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, location, flashlight, and play the speakers at max volume while recording a video, it’ll go from 100% to dead in 4 hours.

    Considering the relative speed of literally everything we can experience as humans, and that light ranks at the tippy top of every single one of them as INSTANT in pretty much any context other than math homework, it’s honestly pretty fucking wild that we not only got humans 1.3 light-seconds away from Earth, but got them back alive to tell about it.

    That is straight up amazing.






  • "The planet’s dying; the Nazis are not only back, but overwhelmingly popular; my wife and I’s dual income can barely afford a shitty apartment + costs of living; our rights are dropping like flies; and if something goes wrong with the pregnancy, our doctor would have to risk going to prison to provide healthcare, which he won’t do, so pregnancy could realistically be a fatal decision for my wife.

    We will never entertain the absolutely cruel thought of forcing a child into this dumpster fire. Don’t ask us again."
