40 Funny Pics From The “Out Of Context Human Race” Twitter Page That Presents Not The Brightest Side Of Humanity
Imagine planet Earth from an outsider's point of view. From many light-years away, it probably wouldn't seem all that impressive through some sort of futuristic telescope technology. Anyone watching Earth as a transiting exoplanet wouldn't see our world as a vibrant oasis suffused with blue, green, and tan, as it appears in up-close satellite images. They would simply see a lump of rock getting in the way of the Sun.
The real fun would start if those looking could zoom in more. A lot more. So much they could spy on our lives. If that sounds interesting to you as well, there's a Twitter account that shows our everyday life without any filters. Out of Context Human Race shares fan-submitted images (and sometimes videos) that paint a broad picture of what's going on around here. Continue scrolling and check some of them out.

Lisa Kaltenegger, an astronomer at Cornell University, enlisted the help of Jackie Faherty, an astrophysicist who works at Hayden Planetarium, and together they took on the task of identifying stars that might host alien worlds where the residents—past, present, or future—would have a chance of detecting Earth as a transiting exoplanet.
In other words, these planets would have just the right vantage point to observe a slight dip in the brightness of our sun as Earth crosses, or transits, in front of it. It's actually the most successful method we use to find planets beyond our solar system as they orbit around their own host stars, creating tiny blips in the light we can see with astronomical instruments.
In June, Kaltenegger and Faherty announced their results in Nature with an extensive list of stars that have either had, or will later have, the required orientation to discover our planet. Using a time range from 5,000 years ago (a period when civilizations on Earth first began to sprout) to 5,000 years into the future, the duo identified over 2,000 stars.
Not only does their study provide a resource to exoplanet hunters by highlighting which stars they can pay attention to, but it also reminds about our unique—and a bit unsettling—visibility to the rest of the universe. "I felt spied on a little bit," Faherty told WIRED, remembering the uncanny sensation of being overexposed. "Do I want to be on a planet that can be found?"
Do you? Who knows, maybe Out of Context Human Race aren't the only ones watching us.

So is it possible to buy a Dutch pillow and return it saying that it's a French one and asking for the refund amount of French pillow?

I once had a question marked wrong, my answer= 0.56 the right answer=0.560

If it was supposed to be in scientific notation, that's probably why you were wrong. I wish people would stop complaining about this kinda thing. Math and physics is black and white. You're either 100% right, or you're wrong. No arguments.

It used to happen to me... So I went apeshit every time and nagged the teacher until I get the points I deserved. Sometimes, being a Karen is legitimate.
JayWantsACat 4 years ago
I dont think that's being a Karen. If the teacher creates or uses a crap question that has unintended but correct answers, then it's their issue not the students'.

I guess you had to be there. I don't get it?.But generally I don't get math.

The fraction 1/4th is the same as the numerical value of 0.25....The quiz marked it wrong, but it is literally the same answer, just expressed in a different form.

My online school thing does the same thing. You'll put 2.5 and it's like nope you have to put a space before 2.5 like this. 2.5

In Canada/America, we use a decimal point instead of a comma. The comma is used for large numbers like 1,000,000. There's no need for them in metric because 1 000 000 is the correct way to write it, but America hates the metric system so here we are. (And America Junior, aka Canada, just does whatever they do for some reason. We are in a weird hybrid system in a lot of ways.)

shouldn't have gotten the answer wrong. it's so easy its literally written there.
Rick Krivoniak 4 years ago
It is correct, but I think they're looking for 4y = x. As if that's any help.

I just about scream when this stuff happens. They never tell you if it should be a fraction or decimal!

Yeah, a non-man slew his Nazgul and now he has to take the subway. Tough days for the darkers.

Don't use vaseline. It's not designed for that, is drying, and you may get irritated from it. Water based lube, lots of it, and patience are what's needed.

Swindon was a small village when this was built. Then people who entered it just settled there rather than trying to get out ;o)

What do you think the CDC does? They also store viruses and diseases to study them.
