- Comment on Gottem. :) 1 week ago:
Gravity isn’t a force, strictly speaking. Objects move along geodesics in spacetime (that’s basically a straight line along a curved surface), and gravity bends spacetime, and therefore also these geodesics, around massive objects. So you don’t actually get accelerated by gravity, that’s why you don’t feel anything during free fall. What we perceive as the force of gravity pushing us down, is the solid ground accelerating us upwards, when following the geodesic would have us fall instead.
So when the sun disappears, the geodesic that used to spiral around the sun suddenly straightens out, and the neutral movement, the new free fall, has the earth continuing in a straight line. You wouldn’t be able to feel that. What the other person said about tidal forces is true tho, it would likely cause worldwide tsunamis

- Comment on When we explain to other people how our capitalist system works and they recoil in horror 2 weeks ago:
Communism is a society that has done away with classes, money and the state. That means there isn’t any position to weasel up to. On the way there we do need to be careful tho, not everyone calling themselves a communist truly wants to abolish classes and the state, some are quite happy to cling to power
- Comment on For No Reason in Particular Here's a Bunch of Games Where You Kill Nazis 2 weeks ago:
Once upon a time, before the Nazi killing was reserved for online lobbies, Call of Duty had games take place in World War 2.
They come out swinging, huh
Nice

Don’t you love it when people say random, illogical bullshit that sounds vaguely sciency and pretends to be deep?

- Comment on moms rule 4 weeks ago:
It didn’t suck exactly, time is just so much more prevalent than other units that switching to a new system was even more contentious. Current time is just as arbitrary (although maximizing for maximum number of prime factors is pretty nice, even if it doesn’t mesh nicely with other metric units)
- Comment on [deleted] 4 weeks ago:
The ADL exists to peddle Zionism and conflate it with Antisemitism, and to defend Israel’s interests. Do not take them serious. Listen to other Jewish voices, like the Holocaust survivors who are actively warning about the US sliding into fascism for years now. This was absolutely meant as a Hitler salute, and to pretend otherwise is disingenuous

That’s the quiet part out loud. They want a jury that will convict him.

What do you mean? Zero point energy comes up as a result of quantum mechanics, why would it be ignored?

She would’ve been at Harper’s ferry fighting with John Brown, if she hadn’t fallen I’ll. So it fits for sure, although I’m not sure if more than the others. She’s an all-round badass
- Comment on Need those unit conversions 2 months ago:
This was posted in a weed community first and then crossposted here. Because for a stoner the important question is “how much does a gram of weed cost?”. For a scientist, more importantly the question is “what system of measurements do you use?”, or, specifically, “how much [mass] is a gram [in your unit system]?”

Gen Z as well. My childhood was all cracking things open and seeing what’s inside. Then when I was in my teens they stopped making things easily openable. Fuckers
- Comment on Reactor goes brrr 2 months ago:
That’s not how modern power plants work. It’s not an open loop to the cooling tower, instead you have a closed loop that gets superheated under high pressure and runs the turbines, but needs to get cooled down before the loop can start over. You cool it down by running the pipes through other water, which evaporated in a cooling tower. The evaporated water takes the heat out of the system, if you returned it to the loop, the system would overheat
