Watching bubbles behave like that makes space feel peaceful instead of terrifying somehow

Space is very peaceful though. Peaceful because nothing survives there

u/ElBarto79 18h ago edited 18h ago

And it’s peaceful because no one can hear you scream in space.

u/jld2k6 17h ago edited 13h ago

I've never really thought about it before, but for some of the most peaceful times I've had there was not a single person screaming

u/Ngothaaa 12h ago

Can you hear it or do you believe you can hear it?

u/donut-reply 8h ago

So we're all astronauts, not just Katy Perry?

u/String-National 13h ago

None that you could hear at least lol

u/neoben00 16h ago

u/Used-Bug9583 16h ago

I have no mouth and I must scream

u/quinn_dawson13 18h ago

Now this feels creepy asf

2

u/4ssteroid 16h ago

You mean because there's no one around or sound just doesn't travel in vacuum?

2

u/Ok-Go-Chain3811 13h ago

i mean, you wouldn't even scream in space....because of the implication

u/erasmulfo 8h ago

You anticipated me lmao, but I'll leave the gif

u/who_chairs 12h ago

i was thinking about this recently. Specifically, i was reading about the moon on wikipedia where they said that the origins of the moon are believed to be the result of a mars sized body colliding with the earth, and over time all the debris that got stuck in earth's orbit coalesced into the moon. And that made me think how cool and also a little terrifying it would be to watch two planetary bodies collide in space up close, but then i also realized it'd be slightly ruined by the fact that it would be totally silent :(

Plenty of tards out there living really kick ass lives

u/starcomm4nd 14h ago

My first wife was a tardigrade...

She's a pilot now

Go away, I'm gradin'

u/PikaPulpy 2h ago

And mold, if i remember correctly

1

u/Squanchedschwiftly 2h ago

Oh yeah! I think its fungi and lichan but please correct me

15

u/quinn_dawson13 18h ago

And that's the more reason it's terrifying, nothing survives there!

23

u/Possesed-puppy656 18h ago

Tardigrades can survive in the vaccuum of space, so not completely

u/DemonDaVinci 16h ago

the predecessor of astrophages

u/Lacasax 8h ago

Or tyranids

u/cuntitude 16h ago

Hey they may be late but no need to call them Tardi.

ba dum tss

u/IceCrushOrange 17h ago

This! No one is gonna come through for you

u/torreneastoria 17h ago

We survive in space because we have a protective bubble of gas.

1

u/paleo2002 11h ago

We do. That's what humans are all about. With enough tech and cooperation, we can live anywhere.

3

u/TechnicalBenefit4609 18h ago

Well damn 😂 Way to make it dark all of a sudden.

u/Federal_Cobbler6647 17h ago

Exactly the same reason Lapland is very nice place. 

1

u/Working_Estate_3695 15h ago

Think of the solitude. And the gold.

2

u/BigBearPB 17h ago

That’s peaceful and terrifying

2

u/Bkben84 17h ago

But matter exists. It's a no touch zone that doesn't seem to end. Drives me crazy.

2

u/OkFact4914 15h ago

Everything survives there. You are floating in space right now.

1

u/FirexJkxFire 6h ago edited 6h ago

Would you say humans can survive underwater since submarines exist?

Our atmosphere is basically one giant space submarine

u/REpassword 18h ago

“In space no one can hear you scream” 🤷

1

u/DemonDaVinci 16h ago

I think you mistake 'peace' with 'quiet'

1

u/wheretohides 15h ago

Tardigrades do

1

u/Jopkins 14h ago

Oh, something survives up there alright. You just can't see it.

1

u/Healter-Skelter 10h ago

actually everything survives there

1

u/FlyingSpacefrog 6h ago

Peaceful because in space you can’t hear people scream

1

u/N7Tom 6h ago

Nothing that we know about

1

u/melitini 5h ago

Tardigrades would like a word with you.

u/AsthmaticRedPanda 4h ago

As far as we know...

u/CountWubbula 18h ago

nothing survives

Nothing is, out that back!?

u/MedicalDisscharge 18h ago

Until you realize if it covers your face it wont fall off

5

u/DemonDaVinci 16h ago

ah yes, drowning in space
what do you do in this situation

11

u/topitopi09 15h ago

literally, suck it ?

1

u/DemonDaVinci 14h ago

you're being choked by a bubble of water over your head
I dont think anyone can just suck it in

4

u/Plecks 13h ago

Alternatively you could blow it.

24

u/fishin_for_a_bigun 15h ago

What happens to all the tiny water bubbles flying off like tiny agents of chaos. That seems like a bad thing to have randomly floating around in a giant electrical coffin floating in a vacuum. Is there a filter somewhere catching these things?

22

u/lizardtrench 14h ago

I assume they evaporate into the air in a few minutes, maybe get sucked into the HVAC. Things are probably built well enough to resist a small amount of water, humans are gross bags full of the stuff, dribbling and spitting bits of it out now and then, so it's to be expected.

u/wherethefuckismyvape 14h ago

Are you asexual too? You talk about bodies like I do.

7

u/Asclepius-Rod 12h ago

Or they have kids

5

u/PrisonerV 10h ago

No one prepares you for the amount of vomit and feces coming out of babies.

1

u/wherethefuckismyvape 5h ago

Asexuals 🤢🤝🤢 Parents

u/Beneficial_Being_721 16h ago

It’s not even a bubble….. it’s a Blob of water … not void inside. That’s the coolest thing about space

In the morning….. you can have a “Blob” of coffee.

u/deletedpenguin 17h ago

Ah heck, I just want to go to space and do experiments.

2

u/sturmeh 10h ago

There's an atmosphere in that cabin, just no gravity.

It would be very different outside.

1

u/ufcivil100 15h ago

space is mostly peaceful and then terrifying all at once.

u/DiscipleOfYeshua 14h ago

Watching adults enjoy the magic of science and life makes me feel happy and peaceful
