    This is a good subject to talk about. Sometimes I fav stuff like this on Redit. I don’t think this would be the best to submit though. I’ll take a look around your site though and submit something else

    That idea of “atmosphere” doing double duty as a scientific thing and a vibe we can feel is super clever.
