I wonder if he was running on instinct… I watched a man die on the subway a few years ago. It’s more common than you think - NYC subways carry millions and millions in the course of a day. People die and there is never a good time for it to happen to anyone.
There was an older gentleman sitting across from me on the M train. It was about 6:30am, so I didn’t think much of it when he started leaning over. It was when he kept going when most people would jerk awake that about 5 of us took action. We asked if anyone knew CPR in our car, and when we pulled into the next station, we held the doors open and shouted for a doctor (there was a firefighter on the train with us who knew CPR, because that’s how things are in NYC). No response during CPR. The older gentleman’s lips were turning blue.
When the ambulance arrived, the paramedics took over and after 2 minutes of no reaction, I watched something that will always haunt my soul existentially, the way this pic does: The paramedic yelled at this man that he had to get up because he’d be late for work. And he got a response. I don’t know if the older man made it, but he had a pulse when they took him up the stairs to the ambulance.
We all got back on the train and headed off to work. And I sat there completely traumatized by the fact that this man was such a slave to his job that the threat of being late to work restarted his heart. It’s been over 10 years and I’m still not sure how or to what degree it affected me. Only that it did. I’m not bothered by not knowing. Sometimes you have to let the heavy sit to understand the weight before you can put it down.
You know that post that was going around like a year ago. That said something like 'hey you don't need to wear any makeup' and people kept commenting shit like 'yeah just a little eyeliner is enough'. This is how this post feels to me
OpenAI's buzzy chatbot, ChatGPT, is probably using up more than half a million kilowatt-hours of electricity to respond to some 200 million requests a day, according to The New Yorker.
The publication reported that the average US household uses around 29 kilowatt-hours daily. Dividing the amount of electricity that ChatGPT uses per day by the amount used by the average household shows that ChatGPT uses more than 17 thousand times the amount of electricity. (Business Insider)
When you say "Yeah, I just use ChatGPT for [silly harmless task]" what I hear is "Yeah, I light the planet on fire when I can't be bothered to do something slightly boring."
This went from 300 > 700 notes in the past 2 hours wtf guys who SPREAD THE FUCKING MINT
Fun fact! We don't actually know that's what the Pacific ocean looks like because we can't get imaging deep enough to actually check. This model is simply assuming the ocean floor is there due to projections based on the bits we can get to. And I think that's fun.
We’ve known what the floor of the pacific looks like for decades.
This is from a nat geo in 1969. We’ve done sonar imaging of the two deepest points in the Marianas Trench and sent multiple exploration vehicles into the trench. James Cameron has sent exploration vehicles into the marianas trench ffs. If we can explore the deepest trench in the pacific then we can get imaging of the rest of it.
Y’all really just get on tumblr dot com see a post and go “I think I will lie today.” don’t ya.

The original image?
That's now what the Earth would look like without water.
That map up there has extreme vertical exaggeration added to it.
Now look at this diagram:
You see this? You see how smooth it is? You see how you can barely even see the continents?
Continental crust is upwards of 40km thick. You see the upper mantle/aesthenosphere? That's 660km. You think 40km is gonna look like ANYTHING compared to that?
It doesn't.
Yeah. The Earth is fucking big and continents and mountains are piddly and small compared to the diameter of the Earth.
Rescue professional here:
If you need rescuing or help, DON’T FUCKING MOVE. You are so much easier to find when you stay put.
Goddamn preach this
"Your most important survival skill is asking for help."
THIS, it makes me so damn pissed off when parents try and normalize that asking for help is a taboo thing!
This feels important to reblog
