  • It kinda depends how you define “a day”. The usual standard colloquial definition we use would be a “solar day”, i.e. how long it takes for it to go dark and light once each, i.e. noon to noon.

    The definition you’re using in this post though is a “sidereal day”, which if you just say “a day” no one would mean, thus this post is misleading. A sidereal day is how long a planet needs to spin around itself.

    A Venus “solar (normal) day” (like we normally use the phrase “day”) is 116.75 earth days, while a Venus year is 224.7 earth days. The “sidereal day” that you’re talking about here is 243 earth days long. So a day on Venus is actually shorter than a year on Venus, at least if you use our usual definition of “day”.

    Since Venus itself spins opposite to its orbit around the sun, its own spin together with its orbiting around the sun add up together to make the “solar (normal) day” shorter.

    An Earth sidereal day is 23 hours 56 minutes while its solar day is 24 hours long. Here, the sidereal day is shorter than the solar day, because the Earth spins in the same direction as its orbit.

  • Some people just don’t “get” that they’re watching a movie.

    Just imagine this not being a movie, the question would be totally warranted, it’s useful to try to exchange information about things happening around you. Especially when it’s something extreme like this which may require certain behavior of yourself to survive.

    Don’t get annoyed at people talking innocently like this during movies, it’s mostly automatic. Like others said, just gently remind them that the movie hasn’t revealed that yet and to SHUTTT THE FUCK UPPPP try to be quiet until the end.





  • Pretty similar.

    Loneliness is one of the worst pains a human being can feel. It’s often been ranked even worse than physical pain. I don’t envy you, I know what it’s like.

    Unfortunately, the only way to get out of it is through even more pain (probably). You have to force yourself to talk with new people and create deep relationships.

    Even more pain, because you’re very likely to be rejected. First of all, deep relationships, in contrast to superficial relationships, have much higher compatibility requirements, idk, you’re probably only compatible with maybe 5% of people to form a deep relationship with. But then you probably also have bad social skills right now, so a part goes away through that. And then there’s just situationally no path towards a deep relationship with a person, maybe they have too many already, or whatever, so another part of that 5% goes away. So the actual chance to start a deep relationship is very low, which will mean lots of rejection and failure.

    This will be incredibly painful, because you’re likely already introverted for reasons that involve negative interactions with people. And you’ll likely add more of them to the list unfortunately. But I’m almost sure you’ll add many more positive ones to the list as well.

    You can do it like me and get rejected over and over until you feel so worthless and desperate that you rewrite your whole being to please another person, then latch to anyone that gets fooled by you pretending to be what they want, then breaking down because you’re living a completely fake life.

    Wait, maybe that’s bad advice? Naaah worked for me so must be good right?

    But seriously. I’m mainly saying this because I went through all kinds of mistakes, but doing them was better than not doing anything. And I know for a fact it can be done. I was incredibly lonely, having no friends, in so much emotional pain all the time, but now I feel like the happiest person on Earth, with so many good friends and loving relationships abundant.

    All of this shit you’re facing right now can be conquered and overcome. Keep searching for advice like you’re doing right now. Humans are not meant to face the world alone, and there are always people willing to help you, you already see it in this thread, and add me to the list. Talking with many other distinct humans about our problems is almost the best thing you can do. We learn through other’s experiences almost as much as through our own experiences.

    If you want to know more, I’m here, talk with me. You can do this :)


  • The only thing that helps me is thinking about objectively, there are much more positive and neutral interactions than there are awkward/negative ones.

    And the only reason I tend to focus on the negative ones is because that’s what humans do, avoiding a negative is always “better” than getting something positive, in a survival kind of sense.

    And so I force myself to remember the good interactions again and again, and well, eventually it’s become more of a habit than remembering the negative ones.

    I haven’t watched the video either, but I’m sure they’ll be like 4 is the max.

    Edit: it’s mostly about scheduling and combinatorics, and it says for example at 5 players you have a 71% of failure to find a common time, while with 4 it’s 49%.
