    Y’all gonna pretend that while COVID-19 had us all hiding at home, a bunch of y’all didn’t learn to knit, play guitar, bake bread, and all sorts of other things to pass the time and not think about the apocalypse going on outside?

    Shit, Bo Burnham made a god damned masterpiece during lockdown.

    What was he supposed to do? Get smarter and invent a cure? He was playing it smart already by isolating himself 60 miles away from anybody else

      I remember I watched Brian Cox do some maths. Think it was rocketry.

      He had a bit of paper explained everything and said “In only a couple of minutes I have managed to work out what is required to get to the moon. I can only do this because Newton gave me the second law of motion, if I had to derive the second law myself I wouldn’t be able to do it in a lifetime. Newton was a genius”

      It really put it into perspective for me. I wish I could find the clip.
