the best way i can think to describe the experience of reading moby dick is you’re in line at the dmv and this guy behind you very loudly says “well who HASN’T had a gay experience” and then proceeds to tell you every detail about his life in between anecdotes about how great sperm is and how ropes work and sometimes he’ll say the most poetic shit you’ve ever heard in your life and them jump RIGHT back into explaining how a whale is a fish because 1) it swims in water and you’re still only like halfway through the dmv line
TIL that plate tectonics are not needed to sustain life, and in fact, Earth is the only planet observed to date to even have plate tectonics at all.
If there's intelligent life out there, it's possible, even likely, that they've never even heard of earthquakes. Imagine explaining to them that, yeah, our planet's surface moves around and occasionally the ground itself tries to kill us.
And we still build cities in the places where they happen the most frequently.
Human: "Rather deal with earthquakes than Tornadoes."
Alien: "Than with WHAT?"
