1000-THR “Earthmover”

Non-serious definition:
That one funny boss from the game ULTRAKILL that the Community calls ”Benjamin”

He’s a giant metal giraffe with a funny stick that can summon laser beams
He explodes if you give him a lobotomy

Serious definition:

It is a boss from the game “ULTRAKILL” by Arsi “Hakita” Patala
It’s a titan sized 4 legged greater machine that resembles the mythological creature called a Centaur

It’s located the Violence layer of hell
It has a a small city on its back along with a defense system and shield generator

It also has a large lightning rod on it’s “shoulder” that it uses to throw beams of lighting to fight other Earthmovers

It’s original purpose was to counter “Guttertanks” and “Guttermen” along with other machines of war that were destroying the surface, people were forced to move onto the backs of these titan machines during the “Final war” of machines and humans. They were also used as frontlines for other machines when going into battle, able to burn down cities, and rain gunfire and bombs from above. a time of peace happened where all war stopped and Humanity was forced to try and Solve the “Long night” Climate catastrophe where earth was covered in a permanent cloud of ash and smoke. The Earthmovers became obsolete over the course of this time due to the fact they were solar powered and blood fueled, and with the sun blocked they slowly died off, except for the ones in the violence layer which are stuck fighting for eternity.

talk to earth

Saying that someone needs to stop talking to you with such disrespect, or to stop saying something because they are wrong. Essentially telling them to get more in touch with nature (Earth) so they can be more humble and not disrespectful or judgmental.

"Damn bro, are you really wearing fake Jordan's right now?" "Are you blind? My J's are not fake, talk to earth."

Synthesis of Rare Earths and Related Materials

The specific challenge of creating the 17 elements known as rare earths—along with their alloys and compounds—from more common materials. Rare earths aren't actually rare in the earth's crust; they're just rarely concentrated enough to mine economically. They're also essential for everything from smartphones to electric vehicles to missile guidance systems. Synthesizing them would end dependence on the few countries that control their mining and processing, potentially reshaping global power dynamics. The science is difficult because rare earths are chemically similar and hard to separate, but progress is being made. The dream is a world where rare earths are as common and cheap as aluminum, and no nation can hold the world hostage by controlling their supply.

Synthesis of Rare Earths and Related Materials Example: "The startup promised to synthesize rare earths from coal waste, freeing the West from dependence on foreign suppliers. Investors poured money in. The process worked—in the lab, at small scale, with pure inputs. Scaling up to industrial production with real-world waste proved harder. Years later, they were still scaling. Rare earths remained rare, just slightly less so."

Critical Theory of Earth Sciences

The application of Critical Theory to earth sciences—examining how knowledge of the planet is shaped by power, politics, and economics, and how it might serve ecological justice. Critical Theory of Earth Sciences asks: Who funds earth science? For what purposes? How do corporate and state interests shape climate research, resource extraction, and environmental policy? Whose knowledge of the Earth is valued, whose ignored? Drawing on environmental justice and postcolonial science studies, it insists that earth sciences are never just about the planet—they're about who gets to study it, who benefits from that knowledge, and who pays.

"Earth science just studies the planet, they say. Critical Theory of Earth Sciences asks: studies it for whom? Oil companies fund geology to find more oil; climate science is suppressed when it threatens profit. Earth science is political. Critical theory insists on asking: whose Earth is being studied, and for whose benefit?"
