It’s not so much math doing that, but physics. Math is just a basic concept of relations. Physics equations are what turns it into a prediction method.

Ah yes, us people who actually know how to think and parse information on our own are in the wrong! It’s definitely not the fools using the hallucination machines as arbiters of truth!
You’re a clown. Sad you forgot your makeup.

This is about violence towards the powerful. Not the powerful using violence.
Are you seriously so dim as to confuse those two things with each other??

Eh. I seem to always hear about such games pretty quickly. Just maybe not as quickly as braindead executives assume.
Maybe it should be on the publisher’s shoulders to not expect a game to hit millions of concurrent players in the first week before they cancel them?
The Netflix poison goes much further than streaming services.

Still. It’s not the employee’s fault the leadership is full of absolute morons that don’t understand employment laws.
Wages are the first thing you pay if you’re not a complete shitstain of a human being for a reason.

If you don’t take the fact that humans are not special and that many animals also have felings as … a fact, you are not a shitposter, but an actual piece of shit.

How can you fail to realize that I also am talking about real animals?
Seriously, you goons are so hellbent on pretending thst real animals cannot feel that it is truly beyond pathetic…

Don’t discount the power of sitting too much with bad posture. The spine can stay totally fine up to a significant age … if you’re not sitting like you’re cosplaying as the Hunchback of Notre-Dame and get up and move once in a while.

To even have to use the word sapient over sentient is to draw a line that humanity still does not know how to discern from the vast majority of the animal kingdom.
Basically, you’re choosing to be one of those heartless morons that want to deny the sentience of animals.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Scientists just found sentience in a small fish, so… Yea.
Anyone, including the writers of Zootopia, that say animals aren’t sentient and especially if they say they don’t have emotions and feel things … are just telling you they are an unempathetic monster.

That’s more Boderline Personality Disorder (BPD). That very basically means their emotional states are usually at an extreme no matter what the mood is. Bipolar is a general shift of mood, and BPD means about every emotion becomes their current state of being.
Of course I’m really simplifying it, but… well, not a psych.

You try getting video from something that, within 30 minutes, accelerates to 18000 MPH. Literally, it will change what frequencies you even have to listen to, let alone the crazy amount of interference experienced during the process of exiting thr atmosphere.

You do not understand bow disbelief works if you think this is effective or even relative.
Yes, that does mean conspiracy theorists are fucking brainless morons.

For a serious answer, there’s a whole process you can follow. It’s basically going from minimum exposure up through eating a small bit of it and waiting multiple hours to days between steps. If any show signs of being irritating or worse, don’t eat/use that plant. It’s slow enough that if you had to rely on it for finding your sole source of food, you’re going to have a rough, hungry time.
Something like:
- Rub a little on hardier parts of your skin, wait and see.
- Break up the plant to expose more of it and rub that on a small patch, wait and see.
- Try it on more sensitive skin areas, wait and see.
- Try holding a bit in your mouth, spit it out. Wait and see.
- Chew some up, spit it out and wait and see.
- Eat a tiny amount, wait and see.
I’m probably forgetting some steps, too. It’s genuinely very slow.
Worse yet, there are plenty of plants/fungi that would still fuck you up or kill you doing it this way, so the OP still has a point.

Bold move to start there, but someone’s got to do it.

Well there’s always Ceres (~945km), Pallas (~512km), or Vesta(~525km), though they’re more dwarf planet than asteroid, so that might be pretty pricy to aim at Earth.
There are several asteroids in the 200-500km range (5-10 if you’re lucky), but not too many. It seems Earth shattering is a pretty premo business in this solar system!

The bigger problem is Earth is gooey at scale. Seriously, the mantle, which is most of Earth’s mass, is gooey rock. “shattering” as if it were solid simply isn’t going to happen. Most of the Earth is like thick caramel or worse as far as “shattering” is concerned.
The best you could hope for is something like how the moon formed; an impact (very) roughly 10x less than the gravitational binding energy of the Earth itself (which is crazy in and of itself!). If you’ll note, the Earth ‘survived’ that impact, but was forever changed in significant ways.
What’s even crazier, is that Earth had single celled organisms growing on it less than 500 million years later! For reference, the oldest mountain ranges are 2-3x older in relative terms.

A very large asteroid (>500km) would be a good attempt at ‘shattering’. Otherwise, a “small” black hole or other cosmic-scale forces would do the trick. A near by blazar would easily sterilize the planet if it were aimed at us, but there are none such objects we have yet observed. (luckily)
The sun itself is easily capable of smearing Earth out, but the real question is “how?”. Even a crazy CME aimed directly at Earth would be able to wipe out technology, let alone life. A close call with another solar system would definitely stand a solid chance of wiping out life as we know it, but it wouldn’t necessarily be terribly quick.
It’d be very predictable in that we’d be able to see another solar system coming for decades/centuries/longer, and many changes would still be longer than a human lifespan (outside of the final ‘kick’ event, which could be over in a matter of weeks/months and leave the surface freezing and potentially devoid of much atmosphere).
