Always wondered why I always ended up with the odd sock doing laundry, I thought it was a spacial vortex caused by the energized motion of the washers agitator!

[@Jason-sm4oc]

Obviously the nanites are too small to move a whole sock. They use the vortex to transport the sock away.

[@lazypizzaship8911]

Oh I assumed the nanites were just collecting bits and pieces of Human culture to bring back to their ship.

[@BabyEater]

The vortex is microscopic. The nanites take apart your sock and reassemble it on the other side

[@micheallinne3159]

Everyone comes from earth is a unique and interesting interpretation of how all aliens can relate

[@eurogryphon]

The _Half a gram_ story sounds similar to an anime named _Restaurant to Another World._ Similar premise, but fantasy instead of sci-fi.

[@brianl8481]

Reminds me of a more friendly version of Twilight Zone's "Will The Real Martian Please Stand Up".

[@Gilhelmi]

I love that Anime.

[@lanceknowlton1871]

A surprisingly good short "Everyone comes from earth"

[@eurogryphon]

In the universe of _The Expanse,_ "everyone comes from Earth" would be considered an insult by both Belters and Martians.

[@BgStalker]

facts dont care about your feelings mate, The Earth is still the origin of human race ;) PS:'' The Expence'' is brilliant show, i started to read the books firs and later on when they make the adaptation i was realy happy to watch it.

[@Hronikerable]

Story 1: So, first contact ends in a long lasting friendship with another species because some kind and a bit lonely diner owner took in a hungry bear-spider? I love it! Story 2: Hard to translate a name of a book into english but, there is a series, something around "Stars Are Cold Playthings" - puts us in a place of galactic newcomers unlikely capable of a certain type of FTL, as the only people who do not go brain-dead doing it. Turns out that it is due to us being a remnant of ancient interstellar empire who invented and biologically adapted themselves to it. Anyway, all planets in the empire are called Earth - the word being basically synonymous to "home planet".

Half a gram of 24 crt gold (99.99%) is over £20 (30 usd)

[@angrydragonslayer]

Today, yes.

[@TheTechmaster1999]

They did say that the value of gold massively depreciated

[@Nerthos]

The pricing was for '96, and historical record show the year closed at ~6.85 dollars per half a gram of gold. So it's extremely accurate and, in fact, Bezz did tip.

[@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus]

At one point the price of gold an the usd were tied together and then people got stupid, I hope everyone does ok with the massive inflation hitting everything, everyone and are ready to deal with what caused it and why.

[@JMM33RanMA]

@@RomanvonUngernSternbergnrmfvus There were attempts to corner the market in various commodities, including gold, corn and potatoes, some of which succeeded. Also, before the Fed and national currency control, dollars were issued by state and corporate banks [which system was used by Hong Kong even in the 20th Century], so dollars printed by the Bank of Boston would be almost worthless in states far away [and vice versa]. One of my history books had a photo of a signboard giving equivalent prices for various state bank notes. This looked a lot like the exchange signs I saw in Europe before the Euro replaced many local currencies. Besides, even after gold was no longer monetized in the US [the US mint still sells silver, gold and platinum "coins" as do some private mints], silver was. Bills had "redeemable in silver" or equivalent on them and I have some silver coins. Unlike other countries, the US doesn't demonetize coinage, so occasionally I still find an old coin in change. It is still legal tender at face value, as are some old notes, so the silver dime [10¢] from the 1940s that I found in change is still valued at 10¢ in circulation but might be worth several dollars to a collector, depending on date and condition.

[@alexanderzhmurov9624]

_"Half a gram"_ makes my new favourite short story!

[@AgroSquerril]

:)

[@JMM33RanMA]

I may know the [or one possible] origin of this story. It is [or was] a diner named Flo's, some miles East of Albany on I-87. The name remained, but Flo did not. My friends and I usually stopped there on our way to and from break because of its midway location and decent food at reasonable prices. We discussed the attraction of the diner to the truckers, whose vehicles usually filled the lot. In addition to our primary motivations for stopping there, they were likely motivated by the view...of the waitresses. This could probably serve as another SciFi plot to be called The Diner in the Heart of the Galactic Arm, or the like. Thanks to the author and the narrator for another fantastic story.

[@johns9652]

I would totally pay $6.50 for "The special". Sounds awesome.

So did the government take over Moe's once they learned what was going on to keep the place open for alien business? Sort of reminds me of the "Hospital Station" series by James White. All the various alien species considered themselves "Human" and all others alien. To be treated they had to give an alpha-numeric code that described their physiology.
