On the other hand, the Hubble telescope images never gave a photo-sensitive epileptic seizure. 2 of the 4 images from the JWST have. Something about the way the post process the images is just oversaturating my brain and knocking me the gently caress around for some 3-5 hours.

Hubble has been suckass since Perkin-Elmer hosed up the mirror grinding. The corrected optics were never as good as they could have been. Besides which, the National Reconnaissance Office alone has dozens of scopes that are individually better than HST, and they have for decades. HST is an enduring monument to the shoestring budget with which science is conducted.

Oh don't worry I'm not taking this lying down. Already reached out to the contact link on the JWST site and I can tell you right now that getting a mail back saying that they've logged my mail as INCIDENT - PHOTOSENSITIVE EPILEPSY and will be getting back to me as soon as they can is a goddamn trip. I mean, loving NASA is mailing me back saying that they actually give a poo poo about this and want to communicate with me about it. Goddamn that makes the 4 hours of feeling mega hungover kinda worth it.

JWST, like HST before it, is a reflector. We will never see space vampires.

Wait, is that supposed to be the explanation for why vampires don't have reflections ? I guess it got lost by the time there were films showing vampires not reflecting in windows and puddles and whatnot.

Silver, raw garlic, direct sunlight, running water, not letting strangers in your house, the power of Christ, etc

Silver is either has magic properties because it's noble or because Judas was paid in silver. It would make sense that vampires and Jesus have that in common. Jesus hated money.

Old old mirrors weren’t even coated in silver. They were coated in lead or tin, sometimes via an amalgam of quicksilver, i.e. what we now recognize as the element mercury. Silvering with actual silver took off in the nineteenth century.

The traditional (pre-Dracula) vampire stake has no mystical anti-vampire properties and does not prevent them from reanimating. It works by being a huge loving spike that physically anchors them to the ground and stops them from standing up.
