"the Creator made the world in the form of a globe, round as from a lathe, having its extremes in every direction equidistant from the centre, the most perfect and the most like itself of all figures"
spheres are an easy sell. Spheres are kind of an inherently pleasing idea.
I like to sell unorthodox ideas by saying "hundreds of years ago, people believed the earth was a sphere"
every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.
I also liked Brahe’s opposition to us orbiting the sun was that we’d see parallax in the stars and we didn’t. Unless the stars were like thiiiis far away it’d be negligible (undetectable then) and they fucking can’t be THAT far away come on.
And then the stars were very far away and he was right while wrong.
yeah that's a pretty solid argument since it very much does weaken the heliocentric theory. "unless x is specifically like this" is always in the kinds of things that weaken theories.
because like going "well it does work if the stars and only the stars are further away from us than any other distance of anything else in the universe" is a hard sell

okay, so check it out
Adam Sandler plays a regular guy who witnesses a mob killing, is seen, and has to get away and lie low so their hitmen don't find him. He sneaks into a hospital and pretends to be a burn patient. While there, he quickly becomes enemies with another patient, Kevin Hart, who he quickly realizes is another faker, there for completely different reasons (to rob the hospital or something).
The two of them try to expose each other's deception in an ever-escalating series of dirty tricks, as well as competing for the attention of a hot nurse, played by Rosario Dawson or someone. At one point one of them definitely has to hide out by crawling into an MRI tube with a big fat lady and forgets his wristwatch is still on and gets magnetized to the machine. Another time, one of them notices his fake burn has fallen off so he quickly has to reach into a tub of medical waste and liposuction fat to reattach it. When the hitmen catch up to them, there's a big chase through the hospital with different antics occurring in different wards. They have to lie very still and pretend to be coma patients but Kevin Hart can't keep his hands off the really thicc one!
Kevin James plays the befuddled hospital orderly or security guard who ends up the inadvertent victim of a bunch of their antics. David Spade is the chain-smoking ambulance driver or morgue attendant or some shit.
The villainous hospital administrator, whom Sandler discovers at the worst possible time is secretly working with the mob, is played by a slumming British ham. Uh, Anthony Hopkins.

About to start my tour to a bunch of old white people that seem bamboozled by the concept that it’s been raining for the last 12 hours.
Why are the seats wet? Why is the floor wet? So unprofessional I cannot enjoy conditions like this. Does this open air vehicle have heat, in the middle of the spring on a 60 degree day? I started waiting an hour before the tour starts in the rain, this company had me waiting in the rain for an hour!

this page reminds me of something I've noticed: whenever someone tries to sell an unorthodox idea by bringing up the notion that "X years ago people thought the world was flat" it is a sure sign they are full of shit.
Well yeah, I mean the earth is flat, so I don’t even understand what they’re trying to do obvioisly they can’t be trusted

life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies
Home from brunch with my friends. Quiche, baked french toast, and lots of booze. It was fun. I was told to bring like chips or something salty and crunchy. I brought cheese its. There was absolutely nothing left of mine. Hahahahaha!
Still good to hang with my friends and such as always.
Any day without dick blood is a good day, so today is not good day.
Ohh...oh no...
Yeeeaah, thats... I cant think of a single scenario where it would be a good thing. Even if it's not YOUR blood, the implications arent good

[chat], at some point today one of you wonderful people Agreed with me for the 30,000th time - incredibly, it was not Chanus
I feel like it's not too indulgent of me to mark the occasion of an xx,000th Agree, particularly since it's only the third time I've had cause to mark such an occasion since I joined you dorks over 7 years ago
And really all I want to say is that Today, I Consider Myself ... The Most Agreeable Narwhal, On The Face Of The Earth

Tupac has many “shit is going wrong, oh god why” songs. Very ahead of his time. And in his time. Of all times.
Any day without dick blood is a good day, so today is not good day.
Ohh...oh no...
Yeeeaah, thats... I cant think of a single scenario where it would be a good thing. Even if it's not YOUR blood, the implications arent good
The closest I could get was when I kept peeing blood, which admittedly is not the same thing, and that was only a good thing in the sense that we eventually discovered a fatal flaw in my construction that, by fixing it, allowed us to save my kidney
And that still wasn't the most pleasant experience ... >_>

I'm pretty sure this is just some hayfever but fingers crossed I don't wake up suffocating in a few hours

I mean, in the event that you are suffocating, fingers crossed that you DO wake up, y'know?

“Black Pudding” is the femme fatale love interest

If X, then Y
Therefore if not X, then not Y
Is a formal logical fallacy
I think it's the modus penis fallacy
