  • To pull you back just a little “slutt datafag” is an expression for the subject which you are graduating. Or maybe google reads it as a verb + noun, since “slutt” means “stop” or “end” and assumes that “end” means “graduate” in this context. Anyways I don’t think it makes sense as a description for a person.

    But you are free to call yourself a “fagperson”. This is a very common phrase to describe a person with education.




  • I’m envisioning it as a running gag for the show. 5 episodes in, it’s shown that the clip is taken out to the garage for disposal where they have a huge stack of clips from previously bought bread. 2 seasons in, it’s shown in the background that a separate garbage collection vehicle runs up to the driveway and a specially built clip hauler is used to pick up the clips. Another season in, a bread bag clip recycling station is passed while the main characters are driving somewhere. Etc.




  • Oh it is explained, though, but not consistently. I have heard explanations of that the light refraction makes the sun look lower when it moves away, to a point where its visibility is hidden by the horizon, like a mirrage of the sky. Another explanation is that the surface of the earth isn’t flat, but bulges slightly, like a dome, making the sun disappear behind the dome every day. I’m sure there are more explanations as well.

    The thing about flat earth theories is that they always have an answer for whatever you throw at them. They are so committed to their idea, that they will invent reasonings on the spot which become more and more convoluted - often in conflict with other parts of their theory.








  • My favorite place to go to argue with people is the minutephysics’ portal paradox videos. People are extremely firm in their conclusions (me included). That makes it an interesting place for practicing on making fair, understandable arguments against people who are firmly locked on the opposite side.

    It’s a relief to have those heated arguments without having it about something that directly involves people’s lives.
