  • Sure, but do you think if the lower court decided that the case could move forward, the justices would've sat out? I doubt it.

  • Because there were not enough justices for a quorum—the court needs at least six and only Justices Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ketanji Brown Jackson remained—the court affirmed the judgment of a lower court to dismiss the lawsuit.

    Clever. Appearing to do the right thing at face value coincides nicely with getting the case against you dropped. It's likely impossible to sue a majority of the Supreme Court if they don't care to be sued.

  • That's ok, they'll just move to their second cabin, complete with what looks like an outdoor dining set.

  • I'm no astrophysicist, but those moon orbits do not look stable. High tide vs low tide must be pretty interesting

  • I find it pretty amazing how someone figured out how to make cassava edible. It's got enough cyanide to kill you unless it goes through some complex process of mashing and boiling. Who thought to themselves "this killed Greg, but maybe it'll be delicious if I boil it for a little longer"?

  • The ideal solution is not a Netflix monopoly, it's one where content providers must pick a single price, and any streaming service can pay that price and provide access to the content. That way you can pay for only Netflix, but get access to everything. Netflix wouldn't end up with a monopoly though, because anybody else could offer a better service and people could switch to it and not lose access to anything.

    This is unlikely to happen anytime soon due to the intentional clusterfuck of laws like copyright, but it would solve the problem neatly.

  • Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.

  • Yeah exactly, though then you'd generally get arguments pushing you towards "But it's actually totes Jesus".

  • The argument I've heard is "It must stop somewhere, and whatever it stops at, we'll call that god". It's not a good argument, because it then hopes that you conflate the Judeo-Christian deity with that label and make a whole bunch of assumptions.

    It's often paired with woo that falls down to simply asking "Why?", such as "Nothing could possibly be simpler than my deity"

  • Undoubtedly. It's getting harder to tell, though.

  • Seconding as better for RSI. Plus they work anywhere, you don't need specific surfaces for them

  • Batman's got muscles on his muscles. Though that's actually in line with some of the not-so-talented human comic book artists

  • Not AI art, but heavily related:

  • The size of the tail and head on the first one make it look like it's just a regular alligator wearing a tiny costume like this:

  • What was the prompt for this?

  • Which communities are so high volume? I sort by new and don't have any issues reading every single post from my subscriptions
