People are complaining about this, but it makes a lot of sense. Normally, you can’t use reverse osmosis to turn salt water in to fresh water without some form of power to overcome osmotic pressure, and that’s what makes reverse osmosis desalination a challenge to implement at scale.
Darth Vader is demonstrating that with the addition of The Force, it becomes possible to create the pressure required for reverse osmosis to occur without needing a battery or power supply, and thus, fresh water from the ocean!
WAT
Sense
This picture makes none of it
Pretty sure I had that demotivational poster saved on an old laptop. Good memories.
Those were the days.
Pouring water from one container to another is an attribute of Temperance, a major arcana tarot card. Edit: And, of course, the Tarot depiction comes from the virtue itself) The card represents balance first and foremost, so Anakin being supposed to bring balance to the force immediately springs to mind.
I’m sure that if I wasn’t as tired as I am right now, I could come up with a plausible theory for him standing in the sea. Beach/sand connection maybe? I’ll leave that to someone else.
But I do believe you can eke out some sense out of this picture if you really try.
I think the sea connection is not the sand, but the fact that it is not drinkable. So he’s here, standing in a literal sea of water he shouldn’t drink, measuring out and sorting the pure filtered water he should drink. And why the careless attitude you may ask? Because it allows a bit of seawater in and it doesn’t kill you too have a bit of the profane world in your filtered experience. Temperantia in temperantia.
Did you say SAND?!
Yes it does. He is clearly trying to filter the saltwater with the Brita filter to try to make it potable so he can drink it for later.
Exactly! Except… shouldn’t it go the other way for that!?!
What’s going on later that requires some water to be drank?
Go ahead - YOU try going around in that very black suit under a hot sun without drinking any water.
Oh, right, hydration. I forgot.
I fucking love the quietly chaotic energy of this! 😄
I’ve read once somewhere that a lot of these weird photos used for demotivators came from challenges in GISHWHES.
I love that the weirdness comes from a contest that originated from Castiel trying to get a People’s Choice Award for Supernatural 😂
2011 to 2022 though, and I remember this picture (and similar) popping up while I was in high school a couple+ of years prior, so that doesn’t line up.
Fake and gay, to get to that water Vader would have to cross a beach full of sand which is rough and coarse and gets everywhere!
He landed his TIE near the water because it was overheating after being disabled during the Death Star battle.
I had this saved for the longest time
This image is clearly false: Anakin wouldn’t go to the beach.
