jesus. fuck

This is our of character for you. Are you being held against your will

Thank you! I’ve had this touched on before but never with quite such a vivid description, and it has changed how I mentally image the whole event. Now I’m picturing these new bacteria doing their thing, pumping out their toxic wastes without a care in the world as all the earth’s buffers just kept eating it up. Then, just like a beaker high school science experiment suddenly changing color in the blink of an eye, the buffers fill up and BAM! the entire atmosphere becomes toxic, and life itself becomes fire.

yup! it's hard to know the extent of it since ancient microbial fossils and fieldsigns are harder to work with (but do exist!) but it probably took out like. the majority of life at the time. utterly remade the world. really wild stuff

Those cyanobacteria caused one of the biggest extinction events ever, didn't they?

Gosh it is wild to be reminded that humanity still hasn't had the greatest effect on Earth yet

an incredible level of intimacy

😨

Soup for the win

When i was involved with community radio whenever i was really hung over i would play whole whole godspeed song because its epic and it would give me enough time to take a nap in the booth haha. My shows were pretty insane I remember once i just grabbed random people off the street and got them to play songs on the aux, i would egg them on to play the most out there stuff, ended up doing a line off the broadcast console with one dude, brought a bunch of synthesizers into the studio and played weird sound effects over the songs that the strangers chose was so fun haha, we got a lot of confused calls into the station :) kept going all night cause there was a no show for a few people who were scheduled on their last night of programming. Community radio is great and deserves to be accessible! Give all the freaks a radio show! Its a great platform and all the corporatization of radio has absolutely sucked the soul out of something that has the potential to be one pf the most livid forms of posting tbh!

No!

but i like posting

i'm sorry but we're going to have to suppress you

never apologize. keep on posting. this is great

kind of! i am a sysadmin but that would mean sshing in and getting the SQL right to set myself as an admin. it's a "break glass" thing for when something really needs a good croutoning

in all seriousness, i think it would be a Posting Sin if i edited this good post to override it with my own bit

aren't you an admin now??

can someone crouton this post please

:0

This is an old piece that slipped through the cracks for me the first time around.

absolutely wonderful, especially on a cold day like today :)

YESSS

was this as delicious as it sounded?

ok fine geez i'll make some

That sucks! Genuinely evil. Can't believe they'd do that to the jazz station

One of the first stations I randomly hit was some christofash talk show. The connection was really bad. They were doing a hymn but it was veiled in static. Hell of an audio experience. Sounded like a broadcast at the end of the world. And then they just started talking. Sad!

Honestly most of the stations here are still christian music or talk radio. Its amazing how many one area can sustain.

Where but for the grace of college students broadcasting weird music go I. They're playing hurdy gurdy instrumental music rn.

Come to think of it, I hope we don't get any research on being trans until we've figured out human rights and basic decency

I'd love to know the genetic and environmental factors that made me trans but I know as soon as they are discovered the knowledge will be used for a kind of biological conversion therapy.
