  • She bought avocado toast!

    *crowd gasps*

    She partook of the forbidden fruit!

    *loud outraged murmuring*

    And now she wants to have… A HOUSE!

    *the crowd reaches a crescendo, screams are heard, a man falls to the ground, froth spilling from his mouth*

    “does she really think she could handle that responsibility??”







  • I’m glad that you asked! The earth’s rotation creates an energy field that brings the ether to rotate in sync with it, even at a distance. You can see the effects of this in the atmosphere in hurricanes. The ether is very light and so as the energy field spins the ether faster than the earth it creates the same fan effect but for our atmosphere. Hurricanes never cross the equator because that’s where the forces of the earth spinning against the ether and pushing forward against the ether are perpendicular.

    tldr: the earth is a really big fan and it makes hurricanes


  • The earth is spinning like really quickly all the time and we just don’t notice it. Heat if a form of vibration, and so when heat is applied to the bottom of the fan the atoms there move more. A gyroscope resists tilting forces because it is spinning, and the earth is spinning, but the vibration of the fan decouples it from this effect. The blades are able to move freely and the earth moves around them, pushing air through the blades.

    tldr: It’s not spinning, you are spinning






  • I know what you mean with the parents providing transportation to everywhere! I was in a similar situation when I moved out. I was often too anxious to enter a store on my own because I had never had to do that alone (or really been given the opportunity to do that alone).

    What helped me was finding a nice coffee shop near my place. They had delicious matcha lattes and I made a tradition of walking there on weekends. Then I realized that I could stop at a scenic park on the way back home. Then I realized that I liked walking around. Then I realized that there are cats outside and I can pet them! And at some point I also got really into pokemon go. It was a compounding series of small realizations that I could just go out and do things.

    Disclaimer: I’m not from the USA and I am white, so that affects my experiences of this.

    Side note: I’ve made a map of the locations at which I have encountered cats, making note of how many were there and if they were friendly or not. It gives me a sense of pride and accomplishment.


  • No. I have many regrets. There are many things that I have not experienced, or would like to continue to experience. The world has not changed enough that others will not be hurt in the ways I am.

    I realize that I would not feel distressed about these things after there is no I to feel distressed about these things, but I still am and what I am is afraid of dying. Also some still-living people would be sad and I’d rather not do that to them.
