Did anyone else take like a whole minute to realize that John meant "multi-star species" as in interstellar travel and not that he thought humanity rated 1/5 stars and hoped we could do better? (fwiw I was additionally confused bc I highly doubt John would give all of humanity 1 star)

[@karyon1007]

[@IceMetalPunk]

When Hank said "that's not 50%" and John replied "NO SHIT", I initially misunderstood that Hank was saying his estimate was 50% and was like, "Yes, Hank, 1 in a quadrillion is not 50% by any stretch of mathematics" 😂

[@ObjectsInMotion]

@@karyon1007 in this instance, even Hank is on the extremely pessimistic side. Many futurists say the likelihood is near 100%

Fun fact for Hank: There is such a thing as audio (book) versions of fanfics - they're called podfics! They're usually readings of already existing fanfics, but some are made specifically just for the audio format

[@sexyscientist]

Oooo! And where to get that?

[@eli3163]

Also depending on the browser you use, you could use and add on screen reader to read the fanfic out loud - obviously not the same sound quality as an audiobook or podcast but maybe better than nothing

[@asimplestrawberry]

@@sexyscientist usually you can use a screen reader or depending on how popular the fic is there’ll be a link somewhere in the notes or summary or something that says “podfic”

[@kaypgirl]

On archive of our own (AO3) podfics are usually tagged podfic so it's easy to filter. The original podficced story doesn't always link to them.

0:21 The look on John's face when he says "NO SHIT LESS THAN 50%" is one of my favorite moments in recent memory.

[@auracle6184]

I love that he starts to say 'shit' then does his best to think of some ad-revenue-friendly word but there is no more appropriate word than 'shit'

[@IrisGlowingBlue]

The face Hank makes when he's pointing at John to answer "What counts as a person?" is like, the distilled essence of causing problems on purpose for your sibling. 5/5

[@aimes_seagreen]

You can find audio books of fanfics, they are generally called podfics, and they arent as common as written fanfic.

[@fwizzybee42]

Got so excited to tell them this since my whole niche in fandom is recording podfics that I forgot to check that the comment already existed. Haven’t recorded any green brothers book fanfic tho.

which sucks because sometimes i’ll find a really good fic but it’s not quite popular enough to have a podfic

[@dawica]

When John says “even at half the speed limit” other stars are “very far away”, I think one thing he’s forgetting to account for is time dilation. While 0.5c would only result in a 15% increase in perceived time, 0.995c would dilate time by 10x. So even if the planet is 100 light years away, only 10.05 years would pass for the ship’s occupants. And even that is irrelevant because Proxima Centauri b-a possibly habitable exoplanet-is """only""" 4.2 ly away, so even at 0.1c the trip is still doable in a human’s lifetime.

[@only20frickinletters]

"one thing he’s forgetting to account for... is irrelevant"

[@TheIgle]

I'm glad you ran the math. Because time dilation when speed becomes measurable on a scale of "c" becomes a factor which John just overlooks. What would the perceived time be traveling at 0.1c for 4.2 ly? its less than 42 years but like.. how far?

[@Kaiasky]

Of course, getting up to 0.995c is a lot harder than getting up to 0.5c twice! Both for rocket-equation reasons and gamma-factor reasons...

[@randomsandra4039]

THIS! This is why I love Nerdfighteria!♥️

[@guest_informant]

You have to accelerate to 0.5c and (istm that this part is often overlooked) unless you want to sail straight past you also have to decelerate from 0.5c. I do think this complicates matters.

you know, as a teen, whenever i see videos of you together all i think is that i rarely see other adults this happy, and how teenage-y and wonderful your happiness together is, how i relate to it. then i think it's a bit sad i rarely see adults having this type of energy. i hope to keep having this energy with other people in my adulthood, especially with my amazing sister. anyways, my stream of consciousness got really long there.

[@TheGallicWitch]

fun fact: audiobooks of fanfictions exist, and they're called podfics! A lot of the most famous fanfics get their own podfics, sometimes multiple, because as a community we're trying to make fics as accessible as possible, hence making an audio version. So if the fic has, let's say, around 300 kudos or more on AO3, there's a good chance it has a podfic! They're linked in the beginning notes usually

John: "Have you heard the one about the moth?" I'd like to hear the one about the moth

[@IrisGlowingBlue]

The moth joke is as follows (more or less): A moth walks into a podiatrist's office. The doctor says "Hi, what brought you in today, what seems to be the problem?" The moth answers, "Geez, if only there was /one/ problem. My family's going through a rough patch, I've had these aches in my wings, and I keep turning around and around wondering where I'm supposed to be headed and what it even means to 'supposed to be' anything." The doctor says, "I'm very sorry to hear that, but that's not really my expertise-- I'm a podiatrist, I study feet. What brought you into /my/ office today?" And the moth says, "Oh, the light was on."
