    They should make another comic about how the hell would you even be able to see it and how odd it would look from earth and would you use lights so you could see it? Idk would be a lot of lights and the space next to it would appear dark because light pollution, ect… Then again, it does say inaccurate.

      No, I never got to a happy place with this feature. I was trying to parse the wikitext (the markup language used for MediaWiki) but it’s a hairy beast so I thought about parsing the output html instead. Then the site started being really unreliable and I put the transcriptions on the back burner.

    Who would’ve thought that astronomy as a science only had like 500 years window to the clear sky… That any advanced enough civilization would as quickly and enthusiastically blot out their own skies for short term gains…

      it’s bigger than that.

      humans looked to the skies and saw gods, and now? most people haven’t seen the stars anymore. we, humans have killed those gods and removed the stars from the skies.

        Even in recent movies, when people look at the stars, they are mostly not there anymore.

      Not any advanced enough civilization.

      Though a civilization based on capitalism where the greediest fucks get to hoard wealth and resources and get away with doing what ever they want? Yes.

        Wouldn’t it be wild to find out that the galaxy is teeming with advanced intelligent life but they want nothing to do with us because literally all of them are peaceful?
