Gerrymandering

Here is a more detailed explanation of what gerrymandering is. The “salamander” shaped district (which the term was partly named after) looks more like a vulture to me, but gerryvulturing doesn’t sound as cool, I guess. Also, I don’t particularly know where I was going with this daily flash; all I knew is that I wanted to make another one of those video game battle scene things, because those are cool.

Antiprocrastination

Maybe “antiprocrastination” isn’t the correct word to use, but the other stuff I found isn’t that great either. Maybe “efficiency” would work too, but there’s already a daily flash about efficiency (in the engineering sense). This happens a lot (like today, specifically); I’ll think “Oh, I’ll just do my work really quickly so I’ll have more time to do stuff later.” And then later, I’m incredibly bored and have nothing to do with a lot of time left before the day is over, and then I start thinking about how pointless everything is, and that’s never good.

There, I pretty much just summarized the whole idea behind today’s daily flash, so if you read this text before watching (“reading” would probably be more accurate) the daily flash, it has been spoiled. Not that it really matters, though. Anyway, here‘s a random link to the daily flash about procrastination, because it’s related. Or it would be, if I ever get around to finishing it.

Earth Day

Today is Earth Day! (Or yesterday was, depending on your timezone) I didn’t really bother doing anything to show that I cared about the environment, except… well, not throwing trash on the floor, but I do that every day. Anyway, the fact that today was Earth Day wasn’t really mentioned that much in school, except on a bunch of posters that nobody really spoke about except maybe one person. And to avoid turning this into a post about the social implications of Earth Day (as if Headphones Character’s monologue wasn’t enough already), I will end this post after this sentence is finished, which will be now.

Photoelectric Effect

I really do spend too much time writing these fake newspaper articles. But it’s fun, so that’s fine. Also, if I hadn’t decided to make this daily flash, I would not have looked up the photoelectric effect on Wikipedia and I would not have known that it was discovered by Heinrich Hertz, who has a nifty SI unit named after him.

They probably stopped calling it the Hertz effect because then there would be two things named after him, which we all know can’t ever happen because it’s completely impossible. Or maybe because “photoelectric effect” is a name that actually says something the effect itself, rather than about the person who discovered it. Because it has to do with photons which are part of electromagnetic radiation.
