Oh fuck off, the 2nd shortest day exactly on my 20th birthday? ffs
What was your mother’s maiden name again?
Just curious… favourite pet?
I’m so glad we are both from that one town. How do you spell it again? I always get it wrong.
Did we go to the same high school?
Man, I almost ran into the piece of shit car you had so many times… what even WAS that thing?!
I named it after your first pet, Spike. It was Spike, wasn’t it?

I used to think that those recovery questions are stupid, but no. The user is the stupid one, entering the expected information. A few years ago I just decided to enter another generated password in each of the recovery questions, and store them alongside the main one in my password manager. Yes, the school I attended in the fourth grade was nVKuq&zo5BiCOc*0JY5JZHsgRPqcJEumBKV5tt%uSk#acN60s!uLh5MIGwobA3YyHIq3dQxm8r0Yhloloc&3a3BLm!nNbAZ%Vzut - it’s worked for every site I’ve tried it on, too.
Uno reverse the hackers, 4 passwords instead of 1. 😎
Stop lying, we all know there’s nobody younger than 35 on Lemmy.
I’m in this comment and I don’t know why
Yep. It’s a conspiracy. They’re all against you!
Happy (short) birthday!
Maybe your 21st will be the longest day.
But not like The Longest Day. That would be worse.
According to a 2023 study, a day on Earth was approximately 19 hours for a significant part of Earth’s early history
That headline plays fast and loose with “history” — history supposedly started in 1973?
Time didn’t exist before January 1, 1970.
And won’t exist after January 19, 2038, 03:14:07 UTC.
It’s true. Just ask a computer.
Reading comprehension has left the chat
Yeah, I seem to recall Dinosaurs having 22/23 hour long days. It’s been a while, my memory is a bit foggy ;)
And Dexter Morgan has 36 hour days.
Even in the article:
According to a 2023 study, a day on Earth was approximately 19 hours for a significant part of Earth’s early history…
Saved you a click:
“The cause of this acceleration is not explained,” Leonid Zotov, a leading authority on Earth rotation at Moscow State University, told Timeanddate.com. “Most scientists believe it is something inside the Earth. Ocean and atmospheric models don’t explain this huge acceleration.”
Zotov predicts Earth’s rotation may soon decelerate once again. If he’s right, this sudden speeding-up could prove to be just a temporary anomaly in the planet’s long-term trend toward slower rotation and longer days.
“Something” in the core is “happening” “in a way” that’s speeding us up. Temporarily.
This is just minor trivia in Earth’s history. 🤷♂️
Not if I can help it! https://xkcd.com/162/
Old xkcd just hits differently. Like more poetic and romantic.
There is an xkcd for everything eh?
I’m working today so it’s gonna seem extra long. Time is relative.
Uriel having a bad day?
There’s some strangely backwards science in there for a website with such a prominent domain, I wonder if it was AI generated.
