I once actually thought that when movies and shows were developing, I thought that they were being made within the year of their release date. I didn’t know that these projects were sometimes done in advance or took years to make.
That when ‘Commercial Breaks’ happened during shows, I thought they meant that the actors needed a break before resuming. Not realizing that episodes are already made and commercials just interrupt things to just sell you shit.
When I learned food and drinks were energy for your body, I actually thought that when I got sleepy or tired, I just needed to drink or eat something. Not realizing that it wouldn’t have mattered.


I used to think the sound of cicadas was the sound of sunlight, because it always seemed louder the brighter it was.
lol this reminds me of how many people who are born deaf are surprised to learn that the sun isn’t loud, because it seems like the sort of thing that ought to be.
Watching this gif, I realize the lighting on the mountain range doesn’t change, even though one would assume it to be from the sun. Realistically, I understand that you’d never go through this trouble in animation (at least not on a show), but I’m left wondering how it would look.
I have all the tools too, and it’s literally my work, but I couldn’t be arsed to do it. I feel so lazy tonight, barely functioning enough to have thoughts. Anyway
I was curious if you were to analog the solar wind to sound (ie. measure solar activity) how loud would the difference be between nominal activity vs. coronal mass ejection, and it is surprisingly quiet according to the clanker’s math. Basically the difference between the background noise of a library vs. a clothes washing machine
