Go to a library. Ask a librarian. They may not be able to give some magic bullet answer (a fantasy anyway), but they can point you in the right direction to answer these kinds of questions for yourself.

But I suggest you narrow your focus. You might want to start out looking for topics a little less broad and vague as “time” and “joy”. That would be like trying to research 20th century music that incorporated drums or guitars.

Key lime juice also makes for a very interesting margarita.

Same. I’m just hoping it doesn’t turn out like the cute frog photos.

Blue pizza just like aunt Beru used to make.

What a convincing argument. I didn’t realize you had the authority to just decide.

It’s an optical illusion. By definition their isn’t generally anything YOU would call erroneous about any optical illusion, I’d guess. The fact that the text is difficult bordering on impossible to read at some angles is the perceptual error. Stop ignoring obvious interpretations to support your pedantic trolling.

That’s an unhelpfully restrictive definition of illusion that is itself illusory. An illusion is also:

A sensation originated by some external object, but so modified as in any way to lead to an erroneous perception; as when the rolling of a wagon is mistaken for thunder.

The text is hidden or revealed through a change in perspective. That is the illusion.

Kink shaming is the real mental illness.

How is a zig-zag numbering any less valid than any other method? Your mapping a two dimensional space with what is essentially a line. Sometimes it doesn’t make sense for there to be discontinuities in the numbering, as one would have to do if the numbers always incremented in the same direction. Would you prefer that the numbers follow the path of a Hilbert Curve?

To answer your question though, surveyors have been using this method to number sections of land for much longer than you or I have been alive.

Whenever I’m forced to use windows, show file extensions and show hidden files.

The crouching guidelines were never about avoiding being stuck, rather about reducing harm if you are incapable of reaching a safer location.

So, given your work history, where do you stand on the Clerks deathstar contractor debate?

I feel like all the photos this singular animal has suddenly appeared in pretty much proves that if cryptids like Bigfoot existed we’d have much better photos evidence of them.

Wow, what a dumb and toxic take.

Thanks for further proving my point.

Ditto. The plastics floss/pick combos work even better. Being thinner and super flexible, they are less likely to cause damage and reach the tiny crevices better.

You just repeated your claims without explaining them or backing them up with any details. You sound like someone selling essential oils and crystals as medicine. Try again?

Whoa there. Are you seriously gatekeeping sci-fi? Don’t be a jerk.

Just the MCU characters with an obvious sci-fi backstory: Tony Stark, Hulk (an actual scientist), everyone in Guardians of the Galaxy. Even Thor is actually an alien using Sci-Fi tech. Bucky Barnes is a cybernetic super soldier. There’s the Nazi scientist from Hydra that transferred his consciousness into a computer. Fucking Vision and his love story with Wanda. Black Panther may mix in some mystical drug, but his suit and all the other toys are all science fiction.

I’m not arguing that ANY of these are great science fiction stories, but they are still undeniably science fiction. Sci-fi stories are often also something else: horror, action, humanist, dramatic, comedy, or all of the above.

Not every science fiction story needs to use the obvious sci-fi tropes either. Ursula K Le Guin wrote a bunch of very influencial science fiction stories that you could be forgiven for classifying as fantasy and have very little shiny tech in them.
