New Phobia Just Dropped... "Dropped" D:
  • I hardly think a post by some random (me) is "raising the god of the apocalypse". But that's sweet of you to say <3

    And you are correct that there are significant other issues, with known effects, that need to be addressed as well.

  • New Phobia Just Dropped... "Dropped" D:
  • As I understand it, and that understanding could be flawed, burning up a lot of satellites containing a lot of substances not usually found in our upper atmosphere may have consequences. No-one has done the due diligence to know whether this is the case or not. Or if these consequences would be significant for us.

    Also, "re-entered" might not mean burning up fully.

  • New Phobia Just Dropped... "Dropped" D:
  • That's an excellent question. Also, does any of it need to make it to the ground to do harm to our atmosphere? Needs more research. Prof. Lawler has a whole thing on it: https://mastodon.online/@sundogplanets@mastodon.social/112768381105263805

  • Jam! Hope to have enough fruit to make jam in the coming years. Only planted some bushes a few months ago, and they are still very small. Enjoying having a space to grow stuff in this year (we moved). All be it small.

    New Phobia Just Dropped... "Dropped" D:

    Screenshot of social media post. Reads, "Everyone was saying that the May geomag activity had no impact on the satellites. Of course we knew this was wrong. Over one hundred sats re-entered during this period and now a paper is showing that thousands of Starlinks had to move. Holy fuck. Imagine if those thousands had to re-enter. This. Is. Insane. We. Must. Stop. Launching. Shit. NOW. https://spaceweather.com"

    But I think I'd only be laughing until the big b*****d was bearing down on me.

    Halò, a h-uile duine! For my first Pixelfed post I though a more recent work of mine might be in order. Here's my take on a design for the #Gorn of #StarTrek. I am a #Scottish #illustrator. Currently staying in #Glasgow. I'm interested in #SciFi, #horror, #nature, and the #prehistoric. If you'...

    Just joined Lemmy today. Still getting my head around things. So here's a gorn inspired piece I drew and posted to Pixelfed.

    Are hashtags a thing here? Am I supposed to hashtag?

    Anyway, enjoy :)
