>>737 >set off a big enough gravitational disturbance and boom, there goes space time I'd suggest this is demonstrably a fallacy. The so-called "Big Bang" was a display of unprecedented power. Certainly no force within this universe could possibly match that, not even remotely-closely.

>>2229 man that's just around the corner for me. will check it out soon, thanks anon

Heh, this article's See Also list is longer than the article itself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullcaca_job (aka pseudowork)

>>4735 lol the wrdfilter altered the original link. Is there a way to prevent this in the board management tools ?

>>4736 I'm bretty sure you can do so with CSS, but not with Stephen Lynx's work.

>>4736 rofl, I just realized the alternate title works too. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Pseudowork From memory the board management tools only allow string-matching. If it allowed regex I could advise. Not gonna lie, some of the funnest moments on imageboards come from unintentional wordfilter errors. Let me check how cocktail, scrape, assassination and arsenal fare. Depending on how it handles spaces, it might be alright.

>>4750 ahah nice ! It takes some imagination to circumvent the wordfilter thing :)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Petrichor That comfy rainy smell

>>6059 Made me get in from the overboard, it's a berry comfy smell and depends on soil as supposedly it smells differently from forest ground covers (mossy) than in desertic areas (geosmin), also pavement from concrete to asphalt. Bretty hard to mimic, particularly in perfumes, some have attempted but they are just "accords" that "resemble" the smells, nothing really like smelling rain in a neutral temperature day. Also related: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Geosmin : That "earthy" smell Polite sage because screwed the image upload

>>6066 Now i want to find a perfume that use this fragrance. I usually like warm wooden fragrances So a pinch of rainy smell may add a nice touch.

/eris/'s sister thread: https://erischan.org/eris/res/3193.html#3225

>>6559 How's Erischan doing? I never really knew about its roots or the site culture but discovered it through the webring board list. I was a Robert Anton Wilson fan as a teenager though.

>>6559 Hi Eris ! As I was interested into mystic I discovered Discordianism through my travels into the Kaos Magik thing but never really figured out its deep meaning. I see it as a kind of Church of Subgenius movement. Anyway glad if this thread idea spreads out there. Eris is a comfy chan. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eris_(mythology) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discordianism https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chaos_magic https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius

>>6564 Erischan is chugging along alright, even if slowly, and generally keeping out the boring generic junk. As for the roots: >there was an /eris/ - Discordianism on old 8chan >some pope sets up erischan.org to continue the board >turns out there used to be Polish board about fifty years ago called Erischan and so we keep getting random poles. >>6567 If the meaning was any deeper, humanity wood drown. Never again!

I don't even know that I recall /eris/ anymore, but 8chan had so many boards that my memory's bretty hazy anyway. Is the Polish board related to Discordianism, or is the name just enough to confuse people?

>>7398 Lad from /britfeel/ here. As it habbens, I visited Uffington White Horse yesterday. Don't really have much to add besides that there's also an Early Neolithic burial chamber about a mile further down "The Ridgeway" called Wayland's Smithy. You can even climb inside the entrance way a bit, although there's nothing in there except stone. Bretty cool place. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland's_Smithy https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Ridgeway

>>7427 Neat! Thanks lad. :)

>>7528 Neat! Those are pumpkins then?

>>7529 The first and third pics are wild species of pumpkin related the 4 or 5 domesticated species of pumpkin. The second pic though is kind of neat. It's the original wild form of the Jack o Lantern pumpkin. It's come a long way hasn't it? Interestingly summer squash and zucchini are also the exact same species as Jack o Lantern pumpkin (C. pepo) but they apparently weren't domesticated from that little egg gourd/pumpkin. It was a separate domestication for them somewhere down in Mexico. Where as the domestication of what originally became the familiar Jack o Lantern took place in continental North America. Also most if not all pumpkins were first domesticated for their edible seed and their young, green fruit and only later developed edible ripe fruit under domestication. The ripe fruit of some wild forms of pumpkins are toxic even! Including certain strains of C. pepo. Also did you know that the fruit of pumpkins and gourds is technically a special sort of berry? It's called a "pepo".

>>7531 God did some berry amazing things when He invented DNA and genetic laws. That we can even breed species to serve our needs/desires/even-whims better is also remarkable. >Also did you know that the fruit of pumpkins and gourds is technically a special sort of berry? It's called a "pepo". Neat! Didn't know that. Thanks Anon! :)
