ah, that makes far more sense.

I was half expecting a ton of upvotes and no comments.

… Is that an AI generated thing or an actual physical item?

I love the gag, but if someone actually made it I assume it has an actual use and the things that come to mind that would fit in that hole frighten me.

I mean, that was my first thought… but would there be a measurable difference?

I mean lets be clear, with a fan you’re adding like 8 mph to something going 299,792,458 meters per second. You won’t notice anything.

But like, vacuum vs glass vs glass moving half the speed of light, could be an interesting what if. Relativity is always where my mind glosses over in physics.

I mean, yeah, but we aren’t doing much to prepare. With covid we had mask shortages, ventilator shortages, with a for profit Healthcare system the incentives to have more than you need are low. Even now a hurricane has given us an IV fluid shortage because it’s all built in one place.

I know we’re paying attention to emerging viruses but when it finally happens are we just gonna watch a train wreck in slow motion? You think this doge committee is going to maintain that?

How come nobody wanted to talk about that during the election? What did we learn from covid and how should we react next time?

I was literally just thinking that.

If we get ANOTHER pandemic after putting absolutely no effort in improving world healthcare… God that’d be so depressing.
