Something peculiar in my 2yo's bedroom led me to a revelation about our universe
Last January, I noticed something peculiar in my 2yo’s bedroom that - after a year of obsessive reporting - led me to a profound cosmic revelation about what’s even possible in our universe. A 🧵.
Holy hell, that was an awesome read.
Your comment convinced me to read it. Thank you!!!
Was expecting clickbait, but instead got an interesting Nitter thread about quasi-moons and the nature of asteroid hunting
I've developed a reflex to not click on clickbait. Then I saw all these comments... Maybe I'll get over myself and click it later.
Ok that was much more entertaining than I expected.
JFC, that was awesome.
This was a fun read. TIL about quasi moons and the first one ever found. The authors enthusiasm for space is really fun. It reminds me of how I feel about any space thing when I’m baked
Probably the least depressing read in a while. Thanks for sharing.
glad you enjoyed it. although if you really genuinely haven't read anything as positive as this in a while (or more positive) then you might have some media cleanup to do. this kind of content should be the norm - and it IS, for me!
I was just reading about this. This is a type of neologism known as a Ghost Word!
the classic example (you may have heard from Vsauce) is Dord.
It's funny how I would see this the very next day after learning about it! (Even though that may not be true for the rest of you.) Anyone know what THAT phenomenon is called?
Maybe some sort of aberrant Baader-Meinhof phenomenon (frequency illusion)? Although that is usually more like, I bought a Camry and now I see them everywhere, but they were everywhere before- I just didn't notice until I had one.
I think that was the one I was thinking of
Great read!
Thank you very much. This was oddly inspiring!!!
This is the cool stuff I come here to read. Very interesting!

I posted a transcription of it to another comment here. But I'm not seeing it on refresh. So here's a link to my comment. Hope it helps.
Long live ZOOZVE!
Curious how this compares to Cruithne which is also "sort of orbiting but not really" with Earth?
