And the billionaire class could pay for it all without even noticing the expense; their refusal to do so is strictly due to their twisted "ethics" preventing them from "rewarding" the "lazy." 😡

Whitey on the Moon

A rat done bit my sister Nell.

(with Whitey on the Moon)

Her face and arms began to swell.

(and Whitey's on the Moon)

I can't pay no doctor bill.

(but Whitey's on the Moon)

Ten years from now I'll be paying still.

(while Whitey's on the Moon)

I wanted to show real time rendered graphics in the same interval, but there were no real time graphics in 1959.

Still, these two are 33 years apart, so we can do half.

New technologies tend to explode very quickly while there is obvious iteration and improvement from a new principle left on the table and then they settle down as the room for improvement shrinks.

fyi: you can make these show up in your comment by using

! [](imagelink)

without the space between ! and [

My experience with how these are rendered in different apps is... inconsistent. I'm not on a Lemmy instance, so I end up going with the simplest option.

If and when all Fedi apps do this properly... well, at that point I wouldn't have to add anything manually, would I?

66 years is a long time. Considering that 1969 was 56 years ago, we still have 10 years to do something similarly worthwhile.

... 10 years is also a long time. It can wait until tomorrow.

It's just a question of priorities.

The AI thumbnail isnt real, YouTube faked it in a cooperation effort with the US government to seem like they were winning the AI war between them and China.

Well the equivalent would be to leave the the solar system for this kind of step up. I don't see even setting foot on Mars by 2035...

[–] cows_are_underrated@feddit.org 4 points 1 week ago (1 children)

We got satellites out of our solar system.

[–] nuko147@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

Which launched 48 years ago (or 6 years after the moon landing) 😂

[–] ayane@lemmy.vg 5 points 1 week ago

I've had that mindset of "10 years is a long time; what's one more day" since adolescence. Boom, now it's 16 years in the future and I'm suddenly a dysfunctional adult struggling to get through each day.

But on the bright side, I just began medication for ADHD, and it's not only life changing, it's life saving. I feel capable, motivated, and determined for the first time in my life. Let's build the future so that 2035 will be a milestone for humanity!

What will come next in 2035? ... at the rate we're going, probably something stupid like femboy hitler

If JD wants Trump to pay attention to him, he should have stuck with the Ivanka look.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

4 years ago JD was anti trump.

He called Trump the next Hitler.

Amazing how photography technology improved.

[–] SethTaylor@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

No wonder it took that plane 66 years to fly to the moon. It looks really slow.

[–] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (3 children)

In other news, this is what computers looked like 66 years ago. Where/when did we go astray?

And only 12 years later.... Mtv flag on the moon and astronaut

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 6 points 1 week ago (4 children)

That is when we peaked as a civilisation. When MTV stopped being a music channel that's when things started to go downhill.

[–] MeThisGuy@feddit.nl 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

then The Learning Channel stopped being about learning

[–] SkunkWorkz@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago (1 children)

then The History Channel stopped being about history

[–] FreeAZ@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

then Fox stopped being about foxes.

Hard to believe that man landed on the moon only 60+ years after landing on Earth. Makes you wonder what's next

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Landing on the moon again. It's been over fifty years since we've been back.

Hmm, how about AI powered facism?

We're still ignoring the history of all flight and rocketry prior to the invention of the heavier than air aircraft, I see.
