if you make fun of the minecraft ending do not fricking talk to me

The Minecraft end poem is possibly, and this is not a joke, one of my favourite pieces of writing of all time. I will defend it and it’s extremely emotionally potent words to the death.

my friend is studying for the mcat and was just trying to explain to me about heat transfer and she said ‘you know, like the reason you get cold when you go outside on a freezing day is that your tiny human body is trying to warm up the entire universe’ and i think that’s the best thing i have ever heard

I kind of needed this today. Thank you.

Jupiter’s moon, Callisto.

is no one going to explain what all the lights are

they’re impact craters! callisto is one of the most heavily cratered object in the solar system, and as far as my very basic research has just gone, the light parts are essentially iced over impact craters

so, essentially, we’re looking at something with a very frosty/icy surface. they’re bright because they reflect the sun!
