Whenever I have a brain fart, my 12 year old daughter loudly and sarcastically thanks Thomas. Words can't express how much I appreciate her sense of humor.
ScienceClic on Youtube has amazing videos on this topic as does Veritasium. Einstein's happiest thought helps with understanding this. He thought that there would be no discernible difference between what a man felt while falling off a ladder (let's not factor in air resistance) and what a person in 0g space felt.
We are actually "accelerating" upwards at a constant rate that is equal to what we feel and many think of as gravity. This is because spacetime is curved by the mass of the earth.
Think of a grid being distorted or squeezed / pinched. The distortion pinching is "gravity". Everything in the grid still travels in a straight path relative tot he lines on the grid but since the [spacetime] grid is pinched, it looks as if it is not on a straight path.
I'm curious if the average developer would consider text appearing with no actual motion (no scale, pan, translate, fade, no tween whatsoever) a candidate to disable for @prefers-reduce-motion
I suspect the average web developer doesn't know or care about @prefers-reduce-motion (even less than @prefers-color-scheme), but for the few that do, I would expect to err on the side of caution, eliminating any animation and any page change that is not made absolutely necessary by user interaction.
Yes, I was recently playing some retro games from the 8-bit era and lots of them did it with clicking noises that I assume were meant to simulate a teletype.

Tether is backed 1:1 with USD in traditional bank accounts. Some of it may still be seized and held by the US government, not sure if that's been resolved yet.
USDT also trades freely on open markets against USD. If USDT was being printed without USD backing then those markets would decouple.
USDT is another "cryptocurrency". I put that in quotes as they can print it at their leisure. They claim to be backed by USD but have never been audited. The market cap grows by billions a month.
BTC and USDT is a common trading pair on crypto exchanges.
As a result, those behind USDT can print it and buy BTC to manipulate the price.
Don't get me started on exchanges allowing you to trade with yourself. This field is tainted with shady practices.
People are buying and selling tons of BTC with USDT and if it ends up being a fractional reserve and has been printing billions with nothing backing it up, how much of the BTC price might've come out of thin air?
Just about everyone knows that Tether is a ticking time bomb waiting to blow up the cryptocurrency markets. But for now Tether makes number go up and currently that’s the only thing that matters.
There have been theories and allegations that Tether is being used to prop up the price of various cryptocurrencies. When I last kept an eye on the wild world of cryptocurrencies, Tether was at around 4 billion USD in total, and now it has grown to 19 billion, while at the same time Bitcoin is at an all time high.
As long as Tether continues to exist, any cryptocurrency USD prices should be taken with a spoonful of salt.
Because it is almost certainly being used to artificially pump the price of BTC up.
The only question is: "has the market priced this in, so the current price is a floor and we're waiting for USDT to fall away", or "has the market not priced this in and a major shock will happen when that shoe drops?"
