#Unknowable
It's another #nudivember double bill with the delightfully freckled Dendrodoris behrensi and the enigmatic, unknowable Melibe pilosa.

It’s called the god of the gaps. When science can’t solve everything right now it becomes “then god must have done it”. Lazy. Making excuses for the unknowable has always been religions go to argument. The reality and brutality of nature is too much for some, they prefer warm fuzzy feelings!

tl;dr they made a normally online meeting be in person today so naturally I, who normally walks to work, put my T pass somewhere unknowable after the last time I used it

No matter how long it’s been or how far you’ve drifted, no matter how unknowable you might be, there were at least two people in the world whose job it was to see you, to find you, to recognize you and reel you back in. No matter what.

Seems like you and Buddy were meant to find each other. He needs stability and security; you need a small and fluffy friend. This is where I turn all sentimental-I think when it comes to people and pets, there's an unknowable something that sometimes puts the right ones together.

This is the most lovecraftian sentence I've ever read.

The kind of unknowable truth about the universe you dread ever learning. It's chilling.
"babies are born worshipping unknown gods" is one of the most incredible dwarf fortress bugs i have heard of. its poetry.

I am unknowable!

The future is unknowable.
The only way to turn the unknowable into knowable is to learn by doing.

With a clear goal (Think Big), we need safe to learn experiments (Start Small), minimizing time learning so that we have the cheapest cost of learning and can pivot sooner (Learn Fast).

I came to the realization that in this context, "simulation" is just the modern word for "miracle," nothing more.

The notion is not scientific, since it's undefined, unknowable, and untestable. That's why I'm annoyed when *scientists* talk about it.

📌 A hot mommy is swept away to a dangerous scifi simulation.

Luckily for her, there's no actual peril involved. Less luckily, the unknowable beings running the simulation see no harm in decades and decades of mind-breaking *sexual* peril.

They're doing it all. What I love though is that THEY don't seem to realize their own bodies are ticking time bombs with uncontrollable and unknowable futures. And all the scientists and medical minds they seem to trust are fraudulent f*ckers who will not help them when they need it.

Strange to treat language like some kind of unknowable witchcraft which must be intuited rather than... A bunch of characters arranged in consistent and understandable ways? Certainly helps explain how often people confuse "definitely" with "defiantly"

< was palm-sized and plastic. But it was my phone that pulled my gaze… the open window seemed to whisper about it. Words I couldn’t hear, but somehow I knew I needed to say them. These unknown… unknowable words.

I picked it up and hit the voice note key… I knew there was no way to say whatever >

What they say: "My gender is an impossible, unknowable enigma!"

What they mean: "I'm a white cis woman, but I'm special and different and Not Like Other Girls (tm)."

Scripture declares no one knows the Rapture's hour—the Bible insists the date remains unknowable. Prophets circle dates anyway, attempting to schedule the unschedulable.

Each errant prediction spawns more replacements—exponentially increasing the certainty about the uncertain.

Really, what was notable about it was how much the characters were just... people. Growing up in a world that treated gay people as either unknowable background detail or fetishes, Marks managed to really drive home how very much *not different* gay people were to everyone else.

<sigh> I can see logic isn’t your thing.

For the last time: no one claimed the election results favored democrats because of the shutdown. That’s unknowable and irrelevant. I am, however, saying Democrats were winning the shutdown political argument, and the election results are evidence of that.

Congratulations to David Szalay who won the Booker Prize for his book Flesh. "In Flesh, Szalay has conjured a character who is unknowable and blunt, yet fully realized and somehow incredibly loveable."

Divinity is stuffed brutally
Into fragile bodies
Unable to contain
What we were
Moments before

Yet still
Pieces of the void linger
The Deafening Unknown
And The Unknowable

I look into her bright black eyes
Her tiny hand squeezes mine
I feel something looking back
She Screams

Fav line from DeadGirlsWIP:

"They swam with some unknowable thought — which was strange, and terrible, because there was a time when Selba knew every thought in Valerie’s head. When she could pluck them from the ether just as easily as she could her own."

Cameron you sad little thing trapped in a hell of unknowable proportions.
November 11, 2025 at 7:31 PM
Again, irrelevant and unknowable. You asked how are Democrats winning. I answered: They are winning in the polls of opinion and at the election polls. Your silly counterfactual is simply not relevant.
November 11, 2025 at 7:28 PM
So delusional that you can’t actually disprove what I said whatsoever and instead try to pretend the whole thing that’s been explained already is some kind of unknowable mystery.

I’m sorry reality is too hard for Team Nazi.

The great beauty of life is its mystery, the inability to know what course our life will take, and diligently work to transmute into our final form based upon a lifetime of constant discovery and enterprising effort. Accepting the unknown and unknowable eliminates regret.
