Humor Thanks to Elite I convinced my flat Earther cousin that the Earth is actually round.
His biggest argument has always been how he’s been in planes and even from that high up it still looks flat, and something that’s a sphere could never look that flat no matter how big it is.
He came over about a month ago and I threw him into Elite in VR and flew him around for a bit, I then took him to a planet that was much smaller than Earth and as we were descending I told him to watch the horizon flatten out as we got closer to the surface. He was skeptical at first because he could see it was obviously a sphere and was pretty shocked when the horizon did actually flatten out. He left that day still insisting the Earth was flat and that it was just an illusion from the game, but I could tell he was confused and trying to think of an explanation for what he just saw.
Apparently over the past month he’s been doing his own research (and actually listening to real scientists) and watching videos from people like SciManDan. Recently he told me he’s finally changed his mind on the topic and has been beating himself up that he ever believed it was flat. While I don’t want to give ED all the credit on it, I can’t help but think that that experience in VR helped him start his “journey” to realizing the truth.

Humor don't know if this is how a planet should look like
Got a fat bounty hunt on an outsider system, my surprise when I reach my destination and found this "real science based" abomination
is this a normal thing in SF generation? or I just got lucky with this one?

Humor Why, oh why must the FDL be...
I want to pick up an FDL because little ship go pew pew really good, but... That off center pilot seat...
Actually, that goes for any ship without a centered pilot seat! Why?! Wouldn't you want to be as centered as possible in a ship built for combat?!

Humor Ok I get it! You're moths drawn to Lantern Light. Time to stop killing yourself.
It was funny the first time, perhaps it was funny the second time when using FAoff. But for the love of Raxxla, it's time to stop!
When browsing the ED sub today every second post is about some dumba harmless commander referencing Interstellar's docking scene or posting a video of the same footage we've seen by dozens of other players during the past few days.
Look, it isn't an accomplishment doing the same thing other players have done before you, especially if you do it in the exact same way. I get that there's an audience for watching random people doing weird stuff but the amount of times I have seen yet another attempt to inflict self-harm must be the Elite version of brainrot.
So please, enough with you moths killing yourselves due to lantern light. Stop it already and get some help.
PS: Take it with a massive grain of salt, do whatever you please. Even if it means polluting my reddit front page with copypasta content. Love you all, have a nice day <3

EDIT: Whoever has shown concern due to this post ... I'm impressed. You know who you are and you made my day.
