The most terrifying thing we could actually find on Mars? Ruins of an ancient proto-human civilisation that had reached a similar level of technological advancement to our own.

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I think the worst would be that they were one or two steps ahead, suggesting that the Great Filter is ahead of us.

[–] pulsey@feddit.org 2 points 1 day ago

I think, Climate Change is the great filter.

[–] grueling_spool@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I was thinking the implication would be that we have already reached the filter without understanding it, and our destruction is imminent.

[–] VonReposti@feddit.dk 2 points 1 day ago

If we've only reached it yes, but the best news would be that we just passed it

I was just about to post this, the fact that it means that there is actually a precedent of astronauts using Teams on a mission, so we may be bringing Teams to the Mars for real, makes it a lot more funnier.

[–] irelephant@lemmy.dbzer0.com 7 points 2 days ago

Don't worry, there's actually 4 teams

  • New teams
  • Teams classic
  • Teams for school
  • Teams Home and small business
[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 12 points 3 days ago

I'm using teams for two separate companies at the moment ... you have to manually switch back and forth, and it's not very quick at doing so :-/

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 34 points 3 days ago (4 children)

I mean, actually the most terrifying thing we could find on Mars would be a congratulations screen saying we’ve finished the demo content.

[–] MiddleAgesModem@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

15.99/month to access Uranus

[–] ameen272@thelemmy.club 3 points 2 days ago

Ugh, unacceptable! All of that just to access Myanus...

[–] eager_eagle@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago (1 children)

that was the tutorial? Fuuck

[–] hperrin@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Well, when the full release comes out we’ll have to play it all over again. Save files don’t transfer.

[–] ButteredBread@sh.itjust.works 9 points 3 days ago

Maybe it'll be a better run tho.

[–] Zink@programming.dev 4 points 2 days ago

I dunno, that might be some immensely relieving news to hear, that all this is not true reality.

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Please buy WinMars license!

[–] squaresinger@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

I'll just close the popup and keep using it as is.

[–] Sludgehammer@lemmy.world 25 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Now I'm picturing trying to conduct a video meeting with a 10-40 minute lag for the people on Mars.

[–] idegenszavak@sh.itjust.works 21 points 3 days ago (2 children)

And you will love time zone conversions. A "day" on mars is called sol, it's 24 hours 39 minutes. So if the meeting is at the same mars time every sol, it starts 40 minutes later each day... Weekly meetings drift 4 and a half hours each week

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

You don't need to go to Mars to deal with timezones .. plenty of people right here who have absolutely no idea that half the planet is dark at any one time and still schedule global events in their colloquial timezone rather than UTC.

[–] SharkWeek@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 3 days ago

Urgh ... so many times I have to say "I'll only do this mandatory teams meeting if you pay me an unsociable working hours bonus, because you scheduled it for 3am" :-/

The meeting is always pointless bullshit that could have been a 1-page email at most

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

And I experience that idiotic practice mostly from Americans and American companies

[–] Axolotl_cpp@feddit.it 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I love when companies schedule things like trailers, lives, premieres etc etc when most of the world is asleep

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago

If I'll ever schedule some important event for huge number of people, I'll use Martian time.

[–] DickFiasco@sh.itjust.works 5 points 3 days ago

I would rather permanently cut off all contact between Earth and Mars than have to program day/time conversion between them. Especially with time zones and leap years.

[–] errer@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago

But that’s just how Teams operates today, how will it work on Mars?

[–] ThatGuy46475@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Need satellites around each planet and around the sun for when earth and mars are on opposite sides of the sun and both people are on the night side

[–] brotundspiele@sh.itjust.works 4 points 3 days ago

A solar conjunction of mars happens every 26 month and takes about two weeks. That's the perfect time to install Windows updates and reboot the system. At least that feels as if it also takes two weeks.

[–] heartSagan5@lemmy.zip 3 points 2 days ago

The film “Life” with Ryan Reynolds is pretty nightmarish.

If ghosts were real, they’d be even more confusing than our own Earth ghosts, lol

  • Lands on Mars

  • Attempts to turn Martian sand into glass panes

  • It doesn't work

Omg. On Mars we will never experience Windows.

[–] vk6flab@lemmy.radio 6 points 3 days ago

At the rate Microsoft is going, by the time we set up a community on Mars, everyone will have migrated to Linux 😁

[–] GreenKnight23@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago

horrific on multiple levels.

[–] Cyber@feddit.uk 5 points 3 days ago

No references to Doom yet?

Thst photo's literally the Doom3 menu screen...

[–] BuboScandiacus@mander.xyz 2 points 2 days ago

All I know is that the only thing they fear is you

[–] GuyFawkesV@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago

A fossilized human skeleton.

[–] BlackLaZoR@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Either gates to hell, or Epstein files of Gates
