I Love This Badass Sapphic Alien

Y'all, the world is sleeping on what NASA just pulled off with Voyager 1

The probe has been sending gibberish science data back to Earth, and scientists feared it was just the probe finally dying. You know, after working for 50 GODDAMN YEARS and LEAVING THE GODDAMN SOLAR SYSTEM and STILL CHURNING OUT GODDAMN DATA.

So they analyzed the gibberish and realized that in it was a total readout of EVERYTHING ON THE PROBE. Data, the programming, hardware specs and status, everything. They realized that one of the chips was malfunctioning.

So what do you do when your probe is 22 Billion km away and needs a fix? Why, you just REPROGRAM THAT ENTIRE GODDAMN THING. Told it to avoid the bad chip, store the data elsewhere.

Sent the new code on April 18th. Got a response on April 20th - yeah, it's so far away that it took that long just to transmit.

And the probe is working again.

From a programmer's perspective, that may be the most fucking impressive thing I have ever heard.

i had some spare time left and decided to draw a second picture for the hallowoods art competition!

You stole a kiss on a dying star. You stretched the seconds out in the gravitational collapse, as the shock waves broke from the atomic core. You were completely entwined, and all your eyes looked into all his eyes. And that was the last moment you were really, truly happy.

[Image Description:

A realistc drawing of outer space. It shows the supernova of a brightly shining, collapsing star in red and green colors on opposing sides of the picture. There are many glowing particles on either side of the painting. The green side represents the Hello From The Hallowoods character Marolmar. There are tiny green vines amongst the stars stretching out into space. The opposite, red side of the picture represents Nikignik. Glowing eyes can be seen amongst the particles in that area.

it really is crazy how quickly people were willing to just let chatgpt do everything for them. i have never even tried it. brother i don't even know if it's just a website you go to or what. i do not know where chatgpt actually lives, because i can decide my own grocery list.

He’s ✨insane✨ for this and I love the way he asks the woman at the bar for a beer 🥺

It’s thundering here today, and it’s the perfect atmosphere to curl up with a blanket and a hot cup of tea, and listen to the hallowoods.

If there were a place where thunderstorms were guaranteed thrice-weekly, I think it'd fill up with writers in a heartbeat

I love podcasts because its like... you're listening to something really intense but you're also going about your life doing normal activities... I'm sat there listening to my favourite character getting killed like

getting really into journaling is so fucked because you will fr end up with pages like "dear diary, it's fucken wimdy today!!!!! also I might be a talentless hack with no real creative drive or discipline to speak of. xoxo ✨"
