You found a desktop wallpaper that's only 480x373? I'd be pretty disappointed.

[–]justinsidebieber 5 points6 points ago

What?

[–]Shift-Slasher 8 points9 points ago

To be fair, he's on an iPad. The only thing about the same size is the Samsung Tab-... Well, shit.

[–]BlazeOrangeDeer -5 points-4 points ago

Except Ipad resolution is more than almost any desktop monitor or TV

[–]Evi1M4chine -2 points-1 points ago

By the way: Why the fuck is that?

My monitor should crush the gayPad. It should be at least 8k by now! HDTV is not high-res. It’s really shitty low-res for a giant 21-30" display.

[–]Hypersapien 0 points1 point ago

It's a pretty simple design. It shouldn't be hard to recreate in any size you want.

[–]Rampage771 -3 points-2 points ago

came here for this...

[–]emailpostmaster 19 points20 points ago

From SMBC, the comic: http://www.smbc-comics.com/index.php?db=comics&id=2351

The merch: http://smbc.myshopify.com/collections/frontpage/products/science-shirt

[–]MassiveMehOnline 10 points11 points ago

Why 1543?

[–]nacho-bitch 8 points9 points ago

Because of all this. http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/1543_in_science

[–]feureau 1 point2 points ago

That De humani corporis fabrica looks creepy.

Wait... I have one of those under my skin! ZOMG! GETITOFFME!! WAIT! DON'T!!!

[–]Me0fCourse 1 point2 points ago

And more importantly, this.

[–]yasahirod 0 points1 point ago

Much better.

[–]Evi1M4chine -2 points-1 points ago

PROTIP: Never ever name a link something like “click here” or “this”. The rule is: The anchor should still make sense, when the rest of the text is removed. It should describe that which it links to.

[–]Evi1M4chine -2 points-1 points ago

Is everybody forgetting about the ancient Greeks today??

1543 is just, when the world fully recovered from the dark ages again. Nothing more.

[–]Rafen325 8 points9 points ago

But, but Unicorns are real! They have to be! WHY?!?!?!?!?!???!

[–]NGGYUNGLYDNGRAADY 12 points13 points ago

If any mythological figure turned out to be real then unicorns would be the most likely. They're just a horse with a horn on their head. How difficult would it be for that creature to exist? Christ, the god damn narwhal has a horn.

Keep your faith.

[–]Grindstone50k 3 points4 points ago

Cross-breed a narwahl with a horse and hope for the best?

[–]palparepa 1 point2 points ago

They're just a horse with a horn on their head.

Is that enough? Their horn would also need to have the property of transforming poison into potable water and heal sickness, be very wild and undomitable, but tame near a virgin, and in some depictions they also have a goat's beard and cloven hooves.

I guess this is similar to "random guy named Jesus in Palestine circa year 0 != The Jesus"

[–]Urbanviking1 5 points6 points ago

According to the KJV bible unicorns are real...

[–]doombringerson 3 points4 points ago

Eventually, with enough genetic modification, science can give us unicorns!

[–]sprkng 1 point2 points ago

Church of the Invisible Pink Unicorn (MHHNBS) agrees.

[–]douglasmacarthur 23 points24 points ago

This thread

[–]tentacular 11 points12 points ago

That was seizure-tastic.

[–]feureau 5 points6 points ago

Long GIF is long

Also, I'd say the bravery is 9/11 on the sagan scale.

[–]Gamiac 1 point2 points ago

where the fuck is taco bell

0 of 420 noscopes

[–]MBreezy1983[S] -1 points0 points ago

I laughed hysterically throughout the entirety.

[–]rakin_bacon 0 points1 point ago

Really lovin the fuck outta this gif, aintcha?

[–]douglasmacarthur -1 points0 points ago

Yes.

[–]Kimbolimbo 5 points6 points ago

I'm still holding out for unicorns.

[–]redditusergreen 1 point2 points ago

All we have to do is find industrial strength superglue, some chloroform, and a horse, and then a unicorn can exist.

[–]DDRExtremist247 3 points4 points ago

Doesn't show dragons. I'm set.

[–]Corrinth 2 points3 points ago

I found this.

[–]jherazob 2 points3 points ago

Broken link because of referer checking, rehost it or look for an alternate mirror

[–]zerhash 3 points4 points ago

i made a facebook cover of this if anyone is interested

[–]SavingMyWit 1 point2 points ago

I searched Google for lame as balls, dead horse beating karma whoring at its worst... It led me here.

[–]Wise2304 5 points6 points ago

Fuck you, unicorns exist! YA JUST GOTTA BELIEEEEEEEEEEEVE!

[–]tweak4ever 2 points3 points ago

Its not a unicorn, its a horse with a sword on its head.

[–]Methos013 0 points1 point ago

I absolutely refuse to believe that unicorns do not exist!

[–]Evi1M4chine -1 points0 points ago

Reality is that which, if you stop believing in it, doesn’t go away.

Sorry mate. Beliefs are just in your head. And living just in your head, is not much different from being dead.

[–]omni4life 2 points3 points ago

I disagree with this. I feel that science has, if anything, brought us closer to realising everyone's dream of unicorns.

[–]bonzomadrid2 0 points1 point ago

Science is also not atheism. I don't really like how something as complex and wonderful as science is now associated with the atheist community.

[–]4dseeall 1 point2 points ago

Science relies on evidence.

There is no evidence supporting a god or gods.

Science is unbiased atheism.. Or skepticism if you prefer that word.

But not every scientist needs to be an atheist, most are agnostic, some are still religious.

[–]shellbullet17 3 points4 points ago

Planetary Revolutions and unicorns?!

[–]DuhZeeMan 1 point2 points ago

That last one may be available in the near future.

[–]Kanis36 1 point2 points ago

So my netbook has a new wallpaper and I have a new cover photo thank you MBreezy1983 and Zerhash

[–]luciferase0 0 points1 point ago

Ruining everything including your GPA when you get to college.

[–]MadViolinist 0 points1 point ago

Ruining everything since WAY before that.

[–]Y_U_NO_KARMA_WHOR 1 point2 points ago

Portal…need I say more http://verydemotivational.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/demotivational-posters-for-science.jpg

EDIT: Oh, and Unicorns do exist you can get a Hunting license here http://www.lssu.edu/banished/uh_license.php Just Download

[–]MrDaddy 0 points1 point ago

Wtf is this 1543 bullshit. Socrates invented science in the 400s BC. The Socratic method is the foundation of the modern scientific method. Also, he more or less invented dialectics and logic. L2 history before you get your next desktop.

[–]James_Holmes -2 points-1 points ago

Sumg atheists: Ruining non-belief since 1882.

[–]rocketsjman1 0 points1 point ago

sounds about right!

[–]_spacejunk 0 points1 point ago

I think you need five kills for an actual killing spree, so sorry science.

[–]xenorous 0 points1 point ago

I wore this tshirt the other day!

[–]Niosai 0 points1 point ago

This is what came to my mind...

[–]WIA16 0 points1 point ago

Someone should make that into a T-Shirt or other clothing/apparel.

[–]Evi1M4chine -1 points0 points ago

Somebody thinks science started after the dark ages…

Dude, the ancient Greeks knew about the Atom, and were close to building a steam engine! Science started way earlier.

It’s just that there was a giant outbreak of religious schizophrenia and abuse of the mentally ill in-between, throwing us back thousands of years.

[–]Darkshi -2 points-1 points ago

unicorns did exist by the way but they were around the size of ponys

[–]zurinunderking 0 points1 point ago

Please elaborate.

[–]574r_13E7 0 points1 point ago

Psalms 22:21 save me from the lion's mouth: for though hast heard me from the horns of the unicorns.

[–]zurinunderking 0 points1 point ago

But where does that say that they were the size of unicorns?

[–]Darkshi -1 points0 points ago

there was a news report about a horse breeder who has linked a current pony to unicorns and she said from the current genes of the pony tht unicorns were ruffly the same size, if you go on youtube you mightfind it, this was a couple years ago i think.
