The concept of listening to vaporwave or ambient in a crowd is kinda strange to me, as I use it for meditation or in the background at my work desk. But hey, V I B E S are V I B E S, man. grittyreboot posted:I was at a punk/experimental music fest in Louisville. This one act was just a guy loving around with reverb tunelessly. I looked over and there was this audience member who was standing there, arms crossed, making that nose wrinkle "gently caress this is good poo poo" face, and bobbing his head as if to a beat. I've been thinking about that guy for years.  Sometimes you just wanna feel like you're slowly and peacefully drowning in a mall fountain for a bit....No? Just me? Oh, okay.

There was a small cultlike group of deadheads called the twirlers or something. They saw the shows as worship services basically and they'd just spin and twirl.

The oversimplified version is: ok you know how an aircraft flying faster than the speed of sound creates a 'sonic boom' that breaks everyone's windows? If you somehow build something that flies faster than the speed of light then it will do the radiation equivalent of a sonic boom, for mostly the same reasons.

Or Arrival occur at the end of the story as a twist to the whole build up of first contact. Rather than dealing with the consequences.

Rather than dealing with the consequences. Arrive thinking your research vessel is set to make first contact. Have a whole book about the things you've gleaned of their culture from the light emanating off their planet, Getting to know them intimately as a species as you get closer and closer, watch them ascend to a near modern level of technology due to time dilation. And then exterminate the xenos upon arrival as per the Military Industrial Complex's wishes, while strip mining equipment arrives on your tail.

Tree Bucket posted:"negative mass Y/N" sounds like a faaaaairly important detail to nail down. Well like the next best option is iirc "a black hole with a mass equal to the entire observable universe, spinning so fast that the surface has a tangential velocity just a hair under c". So the alcubierre is still probably the most practical.

We used to also play Lewdle, which was the same game but for dirty words, but it's sourced from Urban Dictionary with seemingly no oversight of the words it chooses so it ends up being stupid trying to guess from a vast pool of obscure slang. The one that finally ended it for me the other day was "bonch" and the link it provides defined it as "the clean version of bitch." It's called Lewdle. That's my Wendy's rant for the day.

The last concert I went to was a Mountain Goats concert in Minneapolis where a dude in a white suit in front of me was just loving GROOVING to a country song about a cocaine dealer in a casino, but he was too far gone to stay on his feet and kept falling backwards. I basically acted as this guy's safety net for a few songs while he did some two-step where one of the steps was a drunken trust fall. I left to have a cigarette between songs and watched the poor guy get walked out  he was just having a good stumbley time
