This is like the #1 "no-shit" title ever...

Reid Wiseman can tweet from space, meanwhile I can't get WiFi in the bathroom at work.
interstellarowl
I read that as ISIS at first.

Ahh, the green lights of Borg presence.
Kondar
I guess you can say that job is pretty out of this world. I'm sorry, I'll leave now
chiIdishzamboni
Quickly read the title and thought it said: Working at the ISIS...
twfeline
Look for the thin orange line between India and Pakistan. It's the border fence, lighted by low pressure sodium vapor lamps.
Shnerd420
it's not the most interesting job in the world at all, but it sure is the most interesting out of it

I'm pretty sure #2 is oil, not currents. I know water.

Had to double take. Read " Working at ISIS is the most interesting job in the world." Whoops

That makes too of us...and I'm still confused. Those clouds looks like homicidal maniacs, yet oh so fluffy.

If you're into raping and beheading and jihading and raping, it could be.

I could be.
bosho
Not as much fun as working at ISIS
AnthonyT97
I read ISIS at first and I was so confused
LearnedCoward
I'm guessing this is an Archer reference, but you're on some kind of list now.
LandoManKiller
Those spirals in #2 are von Kárman vortices! I know because I devoted quite a bit of time to learn they aren't relevant to my thesis :(
drfarren
Just graduated, my thesis was 18 pages long with a 4" binder completely full of back up data. Keep going, you can do it!
squarrel
Oceanography?
LandoManKiller
Electrical Engineering
squarrel
Well that guess was way off...
kharybdis
What does your thesis cover?
LandoManKiller
Basically finding more applications of measuring fluid flow in a pipe via soundwaves. I was going to try to count vortices with sound.
kharybdis
That sounds pretty fucking awesome. Are there density changes that are significant enough to pick up?

My theory for the green lights... Aliens! ... Or just algae

It's called aurora borealis

If I remember correctly fisher use the green light to attract certain fishes.

yupp. they fish for animals that are attracted to the light.

Squid fishing.

Definitely read the title as Isis no ISS. Got real confused by the first pic

Well it would be an interesting job to say the least.

what the hell is wrong with you people. Every single time anyone posts anything of the ISS someone misreads it.

soso456
why would there be hashtags at all?
appaismyspiritanimal
My understanding was that Twitter originally created hashtags so people could see what others were talking about & also search that subject.
WhatIsntTaken
Now that's the question really worth asking.
Ifnkovhgroghprm
Cause it's breathtaking.
StatisticallyInsignificantCanadian
I'm sad for the Red Sea, it doesn't have a cool hashtag like #Nile. I wonder if #Nile teases when they hook up in the Mediterranean...

Technically they aren't 'in the world'.

So...best job in the galaxy?
TheBreadlord
According to that intelligent life post that was on the fp it might not be. Depending on your view of course.
huanthewolfhound
Keep it to best job in the solar system then?

That I can approve of.

I'm like 90% sure the green lights are squid fishing boats.

Can confirm, these are squid fishing boars. reference: I am a squid.

They are, and I'm oddly proud to have known that when he didn't!
DoctorSpaceDog
Wow, you must be really smart to have remembered that from the last time this was on the front page.
TheNovaflyer
That is a lot of squid fishing boats.
TylerWarranty
Just a side note: that was posted on my 24th birthday

It's amazing the stuff you learn without realizing you learned it. I answered "They're fishing boats" automatically b/c I've seen this a lot

I got the Zoidberg reference there...

I either saw or read somewhere that the green lights on the night fishing boats attract squids from deep water.
IronBrayden
So you are saying that Gatsby was a squid?
superwife
that may actually make it interesting
WhyIsThisAGif
Aren't they on land in that pic though?
NoHomoRomo

BananabalNectar
Well all lights attract fish but green is most effective. The little fish come to the light and the little dish attract the big fish.

I love a little fishy on my little dishy

this made me lol in the most delighted fashion +1
RahimKalay
What struck me the most is that they have the internet in Earth orbit.
corsskeys
According to Chris Hadfield it's criminally slow. Like slower than original dial-up.
theysaidtherewouldbecats
Well how else would they look at cat pictures in space? That's the real end game here
LauraPeeper
Yet I can't even get a good wifi signal in my office...
CliffPant1
But God forbid I try to send a text in the hospital where I work
Punk1209
Or from your fucking bedroom next to the kitchen.
revonox
That's because of the thicker walls in hospitals. Hospital walls are thicker to prevent fires from spreading.
cerastes
You know what the worst shit is? Satellite internet. Had it in an AirB&B place. Unreliable as shit.
FettsMiata
Yeah, but they're a lot closer to those satellites. It works much better up there.
VikingInOz
I'm guessing NASA internet is pretty reliable ^^
iirsmv
1/2 They don't technically have internet. They have a PC that's linked to a PC on earth. That way if they browse and get a virus
iirsmv
2/2 or have other problems, they can just fix the earthbound PC instead of compromising the entire space station
GadenKerensky
My guess is their earthbound PC is secured as fuck.
MadScientistInTraining
But what if if aliens had internet too?

Who says they don't already?

You can't sit with us if you don't take a picture of your food!

And the earth? Sorry I don't have the massive requirements it takes to get up there. Should I just smash my camera?
mfdave
Probably best.
razial669
I used to knock that as well, but since moving across the country I started doing it to show my family how I'm doing. It's great for my mom.
mfdave
Call mom, her first question ARE YOU EATING!
TurdsOfWisdom
Well we can't really take these pictures can we?
mfdave
I believe in you @TurdsOfWisdom ! YOU CAN DO IT!
pizzamagica
Actually he is taking pictures of food too....all of them
PlasticMac
Pshhh. Astronaut plebs.

Technically, so is this guy
SpaceballsTheComment
Just because peope in space can't take pictures of my food!

And cats. Cat pictures being bounced through satellites.

And in the grand scheme of everything, it's possibly equally pertinent. By which I mean not.

My fiancee is Vietnamese. Her mom makes the most bomb ass pho you've ever had. I fast for 2 days before I eat it. It's amazing

Even worse, I take screencaps of imgur comments.

There's probably food in one of those pictures.

Go to space = forfeit humanity. Thankfully, there are rehabilitation facilities for former astronauts. Many get released back into the wild.

Well at least we rehabilitate them. Least we can fucking do.
