this pearl is very very important here!!. & because of that pearl i do not think it's an iterator-specific clock, the citizens used it too. personally i think that 0000.001 would have marked some point around the start of the void fluid revolution or iterator era. the dates in the pearls seem to progress without any sort of reset so i doubt it's a yearly cycle. the pearl also says "the beginning of 1514.008", if it only lasted 1 minute i dont think they'd feel the need to say "beginning of"
moon did say she would wait as long as possible because forced communications are unpleasant for everyone in the network, and it took only 6 decimals for her to become desperate, so i feel like whatever a decimal represents, it isn't very short. in the eyes of an iterator, no she did not wait very long, but the same cant really be said for her dying processing strata
i'm not saying a cycle is 1 day, but using cycles to measure the decimals would mean that a 24 hour cycle made it 75 years that had passed. and if it were longer then it would be. like. actual centuries. saying that was mostly to emphasise my point about it being a long time that had passed. unless you say rain world people could live for centuries which feels not very plausible (i know they are technologically advanced and 1.5x-2x the size of a human or whatever but it feels a bit weird to say they can live that long) the decimals probably represent somewhere between a few days to a couple of weeks worth of time, depending on how old seventeen axes fifteen spoked wheel was when they got championship of the speaking tournament. it says they had memories from old age so unless you say they won the speaking tournament a few days before they ascended, the decimals definitely dont represent 1 minute
i assumed a rain world 'year' was 1000 cycles, so if a cycle lasted 24 hours then a year in rain world would equate to a few years in our world. so once the decimals reach 1000 it makes 1630.999 turn to 1631.000. the only word for time measurements used by characters ingame is cycles (i think) so i have doubts about there being a shit ton of different ones idk thoug </3 abnyway. to the iterators it wouldnt have felt like centuries that pebbles had been missing, it'd have felt a lot shorter than that, but it was still a long time. i think. maybe im wrong about all this. it's probably vague on purpose
does five pebbles often disappear for very long periods of time or something
suns. what do you mean "not in a long while" he has literally been radio silent for 27,552 cycles. i understand that iterators perceive time as faster than we do but what the fuck . is pebbles disappearing for tens of thousands of cycles a normal occurrence why were they so casual about it if you say 1 cycle = 24 hours (it is probably longer) that makes 27,552 cycles = 75.5 years. it only took 6 cycles for moon to become desperate enough to force communications with pebbles so she was probably dead by then as well. how did this even happen without suns having any idea about it. talk to other local groups a bit more jesus christ dude
im in disbelief at the fact that a lot of folks are simply over palestine. like protests are dwindling down. people are not very interested in news related to gaza. some are simply over it.
israel hasn't let aid in gaza in 70 days. gaza has been starving for 70 days. the condition of people there is horrendous.
i find it distressing to think about children in gaza. how does one continue to have a childhood in a genocide? they don't have school. they don't have safety. they don't have food.
despite all this, the kids will be alright. they'll be alright once the genocide stops and they get back to 'normal'. till then, can we please try to support them however we can?
