We are indeed more sexually fluid than most species and given it’s “most” and not “all”, this isn’t unprecedented. It’s also not a new phenomena, in Ancient Greek and early-mid Ancient Roman societies queerness was quite common. In fact homosexuality was so prevalent that that the Romans didn’t even have a word for heterosexual/homosexual; instead one was either dominant or submissive (e.g. giving or receiving) with the assumption being that most were bisexual and would take partners as they saw fit.

I have personally written code for quantum computers to save time due to algorithmic complexity; I was a college student at the time.

So if their usefulness is stuck in the unknowable future then I’m a time traveler.

I don’t think you’ve quite understood ‘/s’. The author was not serious with his post and indicated this fact with ‘/s’. By definition it is sarcasm as that’s what the author defined it as.

There is a photo on the page that shows the horizon from a landed position, that’s the one he’s referring to.

It links to, and is displayed, here; with no indication that it’s an artist’s take on what it would look like. It seems to be D. Mitchell’s stitching work from this Venera-13 clear-filter panoramic transmission with added perspective from the color-filter panoramic transmissions.

The possible reasons are all pretty bland; gravitational lensing, nebular refracting, or they weren’t stars at all but rather asteroids (with a vector of motion in-line to that of the LoS of the observation).

It’s not like these stars had ever been catalogued before the first plate, so its not like these objects were long-standing unchanging phenomena that suddenly disappeared. These are hour-long transients of which there have been hundreds recorded.

I mean… the title is pretty clear; it’s a ‘warning’ of a ‘risk’, not an announcement of the current situation. A risk is a possibility, and a warning of a risk must come before it is unfolding.
