Icarus (Die Another Day) is real?
It’s a grift. They came to steal VC money.
It’ll heat the planet up a lot more too if it scales up
New from Ronco! Now you can roast both sides at once!
New startup using cloud seeding tech to create Gatorade rain!
This gives me a great idea for a new startup! I’m going to put a giant mirror in space, and you’ll need to pay me to turn OFF the sunlight at night.
The people behind that startup are in tears strangling each other wishing they thought of this.
🤣🤣 literally the only reaction to this!!
My startup is going to rent sunlight interceptors that block the extra sunlight sattelite beams that your neighbour rented and what is keeping you awake all night.
Startup says it wants some more cocaine and wants to know if you know anyone with some more cocaine because some more cocaine would be fuckin’ great right now holy shit
I could do a bump, ya know, if you got a little extra.
Modern day startups: lays out a dumb idea.
Valuation: $3B
Startups: The most dystopian shit imaginable
VCs: “You son of a bitch, I’m in!”
Ants can probably tell you this is not a good idea
I thought they’d be selling the oxygen before they get to the sunlight.
Have you not seen the literally cans of oxygen they now sell? I see them every time I go to my pharmacy
Spaceballs?
Has been a thing since at least 2006.
Scuba divers gotta breathe (a mixture containing) oxygen
Babe wake up Dr Evil just hatched a new scheme
Wernstrom!
Oh, that’s a little bright
There was a Sonic X episode about this concept…
What could possibly go wrong?
Certainly not blinding someone stargazing as it reorients.
Okay, luddite. All of the studies resoundingly show that pointing a giant space mirror down toward our collective homes is a great idea.
My sleep after this: 📉📉📉
Imagine paying to have light over a rival’s apartment XD
My opps sleep after this: 📉📉📉
Can we also pay to have people cast into utter darkness?
Just like, informationally speaking, my friend was asking.
Amateur astronomers be like. Cant you just sell me a cloudless night sky instead?
The space mirror is only going to enhance the night sky by better lighting up everything else. And since it’s a mirror, you get double the star goodness for whatever you want to see!
You mean zero stars because many nights the moon alone provides enough reflection to blind the sky essentially.
I was an adult before i learned that in actual darkness we can see the andromeda system and the beautiful colors of our own galaxy at large with our naked eye.
I used to think pictures like these required super expansive special camaras… and to be fair i was correct in that assessment. But i failed to realize the ultimate light sensor is simply our own eyes.
The sky is beautiful, its sad how hard it is to catch a real glimpse of it in proper light contrast
I grew up in an area that was fairly dark. Probably somewhere between Bortle class 3 and 4 when I was young.
When I went backpacking in the Rockies, it was like nothing I had ever seen before. The night sky is vast and beautiful, and so full of lights and color. Constellations are hard to make out because there are so many dots to look at, rather than the light being too faint to make out.
