Things cubers want non-cubers to understand

I don't think we would really know it was coming. Because when a supernova occurs the gasses are released and they expand, but they would not reach us. Its the release of gamma rays that we should be concerned with. And since gamma rays are 'light' and part of the electromagnetic spectrum we couldn't see it before it hit us. We wouldn't even see the explosion of gasses before the game rays hit.

I found this interesting discussion on the topic.

It's an interesting question. At the very least, you'd think we'd be able to see the star getting bigger very suddenly for a few minutes before the gamma rays hit. Assuming we actually have something observing and paying attention...

I made a T-Shirt last night. When it comes in the mail I'll be sure to post images of it. Based off of that shirt above, but with more content, updated records, and I added a front side :). It looks amazing. JT helped me with the design.
 
"If you solve 5 sides, the last side is automatically solved. You never managed to solve 5 sides but couldn't get the last one."

You should add that solving 4 sides and having the last two is impossible also, unless someone peeled stickers or took the cube apart.

Doh, I was concentrating on adjacent sides. I suck at cube theory. Speaking of sucking at cube theory:

"Scrambling for a Cuber"

When you scramble, there's a chance (I won't venture to put a value here) that two stickers of the same color will be next to each other.
 
Absolutely. Especially when they say the 4x4 or 4 cube, referring to my 2x2x2. Which happened to be destroyed by the same guy who then took it, imitated me, and you can guess all the rest.

This is probably the most important thing to consider here. The whole reason for this topic is ignorance due to lack of caring or just unfamiliarity. As I read through the page (as it is right now) I thought about how far the majority of the few that actually were bored enough to click the link would actually read. It probably wouldn't be more than the first couple of lines.

If anything, I think the paramount subject here should be respect and appreciation for the puzzle itself, and its value to us as opposed to them. All of the other social stigmas and stupid comments don't really have any direct effect on us except some mild annoyance - but some jerk throwing your cube across the room to his friend is unacceptable. They simply don't think anything of it, as that's what the cube means to them. I'd suggest moving those ideas up to the top of the page to increase the chance of them being read.

Thanks for the comment. I agree completely. I've added two items at the top.

20 moves sounds like a really proper solve to me.

Insisting on a technicality like this is quite useless when we don't want to explain FMC (and surely no one has seen a proper 20-move linear FMC), but ok, changed to "proper speedsolve" since yours is the second comment about this item.

[edit]
Corrected typo pointed out below. Thanks!
