    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.

      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.

    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

      Just because the largest outbreak was bot during newton’s lifetime, many smaller ones were. The biggest would be the great pest from 1708 to 1714 with more than a million deaths.

      So the meme is accurate enough.

        Considering how casually we took covid after just a year or two, if it had been going on for the past 300 years, I don’t think it would stop a guy from playing around with pieces of glass :D
