So why is the observation so exciting? It confirms what astrophysicists had predicted could happen when a black hole is force-fed a large amount of gas (in this case, a whole star) - a fast-moving jet of plasma can escape from near the event horizon.

Until recently, it was assumed that black holes had such strong gravity that nothing, not even light, could escape them. But researchers such as Stephen Hawking and Gerard 't Hooft have been able to show that energy can escape a black hole, and now it seems that matter can escape from near the event horizon too.

Ooh I wonder what the larger implications of this are.
Damn I need to get back on my habit of keeping up with all of this stuff.

It always seemed intuitive to me that black holes are basically just pockets that have a limited "capacity".

It seems the space time continuum has potentially reached it a max load induction.  The quantum implications of the Higgs Boson fluctuations will have serious consequences on the living part of deGrasse Tyson Actuality.  Super intuitively, random quasi-vacuum particles excitement means the potential energy expansion of a Wonder Particle is 3/10's greater than resting average!  None of you have much longer to live.

Allah Akbar
ALLAH AKBAR!

You just said you thought it was akin to a pocket with limited carrying capacity.

Why thank you.

Keyword being "thought".

Past tense.

Do you know what "past tense" is?

Or are you too stupid?

Your initial post read like you still thought that.

How is stating the obvious "calling me out"?

If that were the case, I'd have added something like, "I'm glad that my initial guesses happened to be correct." But I didn't say that.

Learn how to read before you try to sound smart, space boy.

It's not poorly-worded. You're just poorly-read. You seized an opportunity to sound intelligent, and you're upset that it backfired. Go try to impress your mother or something. I'm sure she'll care about what you have to say about black holes.

LOL Your post comes off as if you wrote it rushed and angry.

You aren't fooling anyone.
I did type it rushed and angry. This little shithead has been saying stupid shit to me for the past two weeks--stuff I already understand, or just being patronizing in general. It's annoying as fuck, so yes I'm mad about it. What's your point?

Because I already fucking know that's not how they work. I just made a post talking about what I used to believe, because this black hole news made me think back to it.

"It confirms what astrophysicists had predicted could happen when a black hole is force-fed a large amount of gas (in this case, a whole star) - a fast-moving jet of plasma can escape from near the event horizon. "

Like it's a pocket, filling up. That's what it made me think back to, and that's why I made the comment.

I don't need to be told that's not actually how it works, like I'm some dumbass.
