Everyone here is talking about how not having eyelids is messed up while I think being able to rotate your eyes either completely upward or completely forward is crazy!
(Also having no eyelids to protect against the aggressive blinding lights of your predators/prey probably beats having your eyes destroyed by said predators/preys toxin spewing tentacles any day if the week!)
- Comment on But yes. 5 days ago:
Unless you WANT your transistor to be this way and use it so you put an actual led inside the plastic as well to mess with (i.e. turn on and off) the transistor!
Also I would argue that wind could also be considered ‘steam’ turning a turbine. It’s just vapour pressure ‘steam’ with a LOT of other pollutants which somehow increase the efficiency!

Also they are all way too spaced out! Every good physics teacher should know that the objects should really be touching before impact to properly transmit the energy of the impact…
- Comment on Ah yes, regression 4 weeks ago:
Fine! I’ll use a second order polynomial to fit this instead. But that’s the last order I’m willing to go to!
- Comment on puts hair on ya chest 5 weeks ago:
Hmm but couldn’t we then also go even further and assume an idealized muscle car with an effective transmission to its wheels of 1:1 running at its optimal torque vs speed point and thus with a given speed of its wheels rotation for a given time?
Aka convert energy into miles (traveled) or something (with the choice of motor and wheel diameter and everything else standardized ofc.)?

Well I rather prefer 95% of my enemies be left as waste and only deal with 5% of them!

So is the lack of sp-hybridising and resultant ~120° angle a second layer of this joke? 🤔🙊

Just because you waste 80% of the food you get doesn’t mean you can’t still be twice as fast as everyone else at getting new food!
- Comment on Platypuses 2 months ago:
May they said it “twice” because they actually fluoresce under green light as well?

Only if it meant more cocaine because it needs to be redone…
- Comment on Seriously. 2 months ago:
I absolutely agree! Both should get degrees, because that would make temperatures finally make sense!
(I am aware that the degree symbol has something or other to do about not being absolute yada yada yada 😅)
- Comment on Seconds 2 months ago:
Just as particle physicists measure everything in energy (eV to be precise…)
Mass? eV Energy? eV Distance? 1/eV Time? Guess what: 1/eV as well! This also means velocity has unit 1…
And the worst part: it turns out to be edtremely useful!

For anyone else stumbling about this revelation: It very well wouldn’t be Unicode otherwise now, would it?
There’s a reason linguists and computer scientists sometimes get mental breakdowns over emoji because the know that those same emoji were on the same agenda taking up actual time as discussions about which ancient language or newly discovered grapheme/symbol/lexicogram/whatever should be added first/next. (Not saying emoji aren’t also tremendously important/good/what ever additions!!)

Didn’t one of the original devs die and his son “take over” for a last few polishing updates/as a memorial?
Or was that another “small” game series? 🙈

I mean don’t we also sort of carry that same image (obviously not exactly, but sorta) in our genes?
- Comment on PSA: Libraries 3 months ago:
Also some of them close to me allow you to rent/lend actual telescopes with a library card!
- Comment on Mushroom Guides 3 months ago:
Eh, it’s sort of a tradition at this point. You just win some and lose some (and as is quite obvious the outliers of both categories are really out there!
- Comment on Electrons are easy 4 months ago:
Which constantly stays as a stream but looses density with r^2 (while still being a liquid!)
- Comment on Electrons are easy 4 months ago:
Except they only look like that if there is an external reference system imposing some structure on the atom! Otherwise all orbitals are basically spherical because they can all just be in a superposition of all possible orbitals and we couldn’t tell a difference…
And then suddenly you have two atoms meeting and need to explain why 1+1=0 for their molecular orbits -.-

Wait are you saying it’s because America had/has more bears still which cause the holly to be prickly or because Americans may carry guns‽
- Comment on Futures 5 months ago:
But we need to build more pylons (into space)!
- Comment on Zero to hero 6 months ago:
Actually “whole numbers” (at least if translated literally into German) exist outside America! However, they most absolutely (aka are defined to) contain 0. Because in Germany “whole numbers” are all negative, positive and neutral (aka 0) numbers with only an integer part (aka -N u {0} u N [no that extra 0 is not because N doesn’t contain it but just because this definition works regardless of wether you yourself count it as part of N or not]).

Nah that’s the package I sent them. The “OP sending suns”'s package is sadly delayed a little by between 0 and 23:59 hours, sorry

So subduction zones don’t count as “folding” anymore?
- Comment on Anthropology 6 months ago:
Not a Czech but now that you mentioned it I want this here too!
I mean have you tried counting from either end using all your fingers i.e. thumb == 1? That dexterous shit is hard so making a single index finger two instantly makes it nice and smooth!
- Comment on speedometers 6 months ago:
Was it really though?
- Comment on Can I lick it? 6 months ago:
But would it be elemental prior to licking or oxidized as usual? Because one is still significantly worse than the other and looking at lithium very much suggests elemental uranium!
- Comment on null 6 months ago:
Optimistic take: because they just rearranged it to equal 0 by subtracting something from both sides as is often done in “these quantities are conserved” types of equations in physics!
So we still don’t know the true purpose…
