That sounds rill-y scarey.

Caution, don't click that link. It's just a redirect to an image of a single pixel, and it won't let you back out of it.

I had to literally mash the back button a dozen times as fast as I could, and when I finally escaped, I had to scroll through to find this post again.

Not a very funny joke imo

Thanks for the heads up. Maybe it's an issue with Lemmy connect

Geez that article is terribly written. But interesting nonetheless!

Fun fact: The firmament is also what flat Earthers call the dome-like wall that encapsulates the flat Earth disc to prevent people from leaving.

I knew "copse" from Dark Souls 2.

Barranca is literally just Spanish.

Cool, I learned a Spanish word today!

And Firmament is German. Bit of a fancy word, but I guess most people would know it anyway.

Used in English translations of the Bible, so if you grew up Christian you probably have heard it before.

I think this is the first time these have helped me.

I first heard the word firmament in a Rammstein song and when I translated it it was the same in English so I looked it up the only definition I could find was just "the sky".

I thought it was some ancient nonsense about it being the veil that all the stars were attached to. Regardless it's a pretty archaic word.

Yeah in the context of the song it more so refers to the sky above the horizon (the part which seemingly curves around the earth). Thinking about that I guess that is also what the picture is talking about

The firmament is just the sky.
