This morning I put on xckd’s new video about shooting the moon with lasers as I got dressed and brushed my teeth. xckd isn’t just a “source of content” to me, Randall Monroe is a person I’ve come to know through his creative work. But, this stuff about lasers ain’t all that deep, it’s the perfect way to wake up a groggy brain and interesting and amusing.
Another video comes on. It’s not Randall. But, it’s another “what if?” Great! “what if the sun were the size of the earth?”
OK. 1/

"What if the Sun were the size of the Earth?"
one way or the other, this is going to degenerate very quickly ...
@futurebird Sidebar, I hope you also watched the sequel, what if we shoot the moon with *even more powerful* lasers 😊
@futurebird wait, xkcd has a youtube channel?!? Wow, I totally missed that.
You could probably see this coming, but this next video was AI generated— but more to the point it was made in imitation of Randall’s video. It’s intended to amuse the same people. People like […]
