We are slowed down sound and light waves, a walking bundle of frequencies tuned into the cosmos. We are souls dressed up in sacred biochemical garments and our bodies are the instruments through which our souls play their music.

The risk of asteroid 2024 YR4 colliding with Earth in 2032 has increased as its path narrows—NASA now estimates a 3.1% chance, while ESA puts it at 2.8%. Scientists have until April to refine its trajectory before it moves out of view until 2028. What do you think should be the next step?

Why doesn’t the U.S. switch to the metric system? It’s more logical and widely used worldwide!
world measurements:
10 millimeters = 1 centimeter
100 centimeters = 1 meter
1000 meters = 1 kilometer
united states measurements:
11 inches = $5 footlong
3 footlongs = about a yard
100 yards = a football field
2 football fields = the legally required distance after "the incident"
