I had an interesting idea the other day that chapter one of Genesis didn't make much sense physically, but could as computer code. I wrote an R script that does accomplish this to some extent. The end result I got was impressive visually, but my code was not that faithful to the instructions. Here is how I interpreted the first two verses:
###In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.
#install.packages("sphereplot")
require(sphereplot)
##Create Heavens
rgl.sphgrid(radius = 5, col.long="", col.lat="",
deggap = 15, longtype = "D", add = T, radaxis=F)

##Create Earth
rgl.sphgrid(radius = 1, col.long='', col.lat='',
deggap = 15, longtype = "D",add = T, radaxis=F)

[ED NOTE: These links go to the images output by his code, which is neat, but the image host has some ads that, while not pornographic, may not be safe for work in all settings. Use your judgement. -LaminatorX]
##Now the earth was formless and empty,
##darkness was over the surface of the deep,
bg3d(color=c("darkslategray3","Black"),
fogtype="exp2", sphere=TRUE, back="fill")

##and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.

Does Soylent have any other ideas on how to interpret these two verses? More verses to come if there is any interest.

I hit a few NSFW sites daily, but I do it from home. IMHO, Soylent should be a site I can hit from work without worrying about Possibly NSFW images.
Trump has decided to rename California's San Andreas fault. He's calling it Biden's fault.

Unfortunately with third party hosted ads, you never know what will be displayed. Use an ad blocker if you can.

I am submitter AC. Sorry, I had no idea because I block most of what tries to load from most webpages. Is there a preferred image host?

I would suggest imgur. You can link the images directly without any adverts.
There is no Sig. Okay, maybe a short one. http://miscdotgeek.com

This plots nicely when pasted into WolframAlpha...good one!

I was thinking that Laminator was messing with us by pulling a trick to get us to look. Turns out ABP was blocking the images. Still after turning off ABP, none of the images were as risque as what I see on the beach on a sunny day.
The Musk/Trump interview appears to have been hacked, but not a DDOS hack...more like A Distributed Denial of Reality.
