Looks innocuous enough at first glance right? Let’s zoom in on the problem:
These don’t go together. If the semicircle on the left is correct, then this is showing moon phases, and the symbol on the right should be of a gibbous moon:
If the cookie-with-a-bite-taken-out in the right is correct, then this is showing an eclipse, and the symbol on the left should be of a 50% partial eclipse:
It drives me crazy every time I look at it.
Clearly this is depicting one of those super rare eclpses where a much larger faster object trsverses the plane halfway through, then the remaining eclipse continues.
My wife bought a candle with a label stating “I’m glad you’re as weird as me.”
I try to avoid being the grammar police in general, but it’s right in front of where my eyes usually go when I pee, so it’s hard to ignore.
The worst kind of grammar pedant: the one who is passionate about a “rule” that is actually only a style recommendation.
well, who really says “I’m glad you’re as weird as I” ? Might not be room for an ‘am’.
I 100% have said that exact sentence and other grammatically similar ones.
I acknowledge, in the spirit of this conversation, that the previous sentence should probably have one to two commas in it. However, I’m not adding them since I’m very tired and the post probably won’t be placed above anyone’s toilet for frequent observation.
I also acknowledge that typing that was probably a lot more effort than adding one to two commas.
I enjoy using semicolons. They’re very useful. I consider them to be a comma-chameleon.
OP must be either autistic or an astrophysicist. Just chill out dude. Take your meds or smoke some weed, whatever it takes.
Right, I forgot that autistic people are not allowed to post about things that annoy them in a community about annoying things. Noted.
Eh, there’s a reason that Mildly infuriating exists as a community — sometimes the best way to exorcise one’s aggravation is to give space to the annoyance by sharing it with other persnickety people.
If the wife likes it, mission accomplished!
Just take a chill pill man.
How right, I should limit my neurotic nitpicking to appropriate spaces.
Turn them round.
That’s not the issue. The artist has decided that the cutout is the shadow, and just made ot “move across” the moon. This is now how light hitting the moon looks from Earth.
@agamemnonymous@sh.itjust.works may I suggest pretending you are looking at it from the perspective of an asteroid 30 degrees “above Earth” and circling us. That would make it accurateish.
Everything is perspective.
