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

We are being killed

We are being slaughtered

We are being buried alive

We are being buried

We are being displaced

We are starving

We are being detained

We are being burned

Whoever watches everything from above will never be affected by what's below.

We are the ones whose heads are being cut off.

We die slowly and no one moves a finger. here

Komodo dragons have iron-tipped teeth, new study shows

Komodo dragons, the world’s largest species of lizard, have iron-tipped teeth that help them to rip their prey apart, according to new research. The metal is concentrated in the cutting edge and tips of their curved, serrated teeth, staining them orange, scientists wrote in a paper published Wednesday in the journal Nature Ecology & Evolution. Komodo dragons are native to Indonesia and weigh around 80 kilograms (176 pounds) on average. They eat almost any kind of meat and are known as deadly predators...
