That’s the toxic positivity people are talking about!

So mushrooms are made of atoms…but then if a mushroom feeds an atom a proton, the atom grows into a bigger, stronger mushroom 🤔
petersr@lemmy.world 1 month ago
And in classical enriched uranium fission, atoms would be “fed” neutrons, not protons. So nothing makes sense.

I wonder how powerful Mario would get if he took that mushroom (cloud)?
crawancon@piefed.social 1 month ago
well sprouting a raccoon tail, turning into a statue, or shooting fireballs out of his hands could support this …mushroom theory of yours .

Science is fascinating.

Can you cause fission with protons instead of neutrons?
gnutrino@programming.dev 1 month ago
Yes if they have enough energy (see for example www.nature.com/articles/s41598-020-74045-5). What you won’t get with proton-induced fission is an explosion as the fission doesn’t emit protons which can go on to cause further fissions so there’s no chain reaction (unless you already have a critical mass for normal neutron-induced fission in which case it’s going to explode even without the protons).

If you’re adding a proton wouldn’t it be fusion? Which also releases a bucket load of energy.

Possibly but the common fusions are using isotopes of H, He, Li with some amount of neutrons, not naked protons.
Heavier elements as the big blob is releases a lot less energy, and the really heavy ones are not exothermic.

Maybe need an accompanying alternative version of the cartoon, “be more neutral”.

yeah, i think it’s possible to split U-238 with fast protons. but the reproduction factor (how many new particles are emitted for every particle that you used to start the reaction) is smaller than 1, so it can’t explode that way.

That’s not how nuclear fission works.
hOrni@lemmy.world 1 month ago
So to make a nuclear bomb, all we need are some atoms and mushrooms. Got it, will try later.

dont forget the surplus proton

I thought a heavy nucleus needs an extra neutron for it to go poot.
Digit@lemmy.wtf 1 month ago
And the positivity ninnies will still try to spin that as something positive.

Why is this cropped and scrubbed so that we can’t see who the original artist is?
salvaria@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 month ago
Looks like the original source is @mushroommovie. The scrubbing seems to have removed a boredpanda watermark.

Thanks for that, they have a bunch of silly fun stuff on Giphy and found there original comics from your info.
