- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 1 day ago:
They’ll wander forever through an ever expanding space, meaning they probably won’t ever come across a different particle.
Eventually everything will reach equilibrium, aka the state where nothing moves anymore because everything it could react with is too far away to cause any reaction.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 1 day ago:
Which will eventually happen to all black holes because the last things remaining will be black holes, so there would be no matter to absorb.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 1 day ago:
Try more like trillions of trillions of trillions… repeat a few more times.
- Comment on How would one exit a black hole? 1 day ago:
That’s actually not that hard, if we’re talking about a rotating black hole that’s sufficiently large (like the supermassive ones are).
- Comment on [deleted] 1 day ago:
Yeah. Source: try mailing me at my Lemmy handle.
- Comment on If I wanted to bury a hard drive for archival purposes (e.g. Country becoming Dictatorship), how to keep the contents from being damaged and where is the safest place to bury it? 1 week ago:
That’s one of the downsides of SSDs, you lose data really fast without power. Like, after a year, your data will almost sure not be intact.
- Comment on What are the easiest types of internet videos to make that are not slop? 1 week ago:
Well, you should sometimes record your home sex video. When watching how awkward it looks, you might find new appreciation for how much work goes into a simple porn video.
- Comment on What are the easiest types of internet videos to make that are not slop? 1 week ago:
Punching people just before they eat food.
- Comment on A Portal dating sim? Yep. Aperture Dating Simulator is set to release on August 28 1 week ago:
Aperture Science… We do what we must. Because we can.
- Comment on Steam had already shown its true face, GOG and itch.io are fighting censorship alone. 2 weeks ago:
I mean, three people calling Mastercard will do nothing as well.
- Comment on Robocop: Rouge City 2 weeks ago:
So, as a born and raised Czech I shouldn’t play it?
- Comment on Hideo Kojima has "learned so many ways to kill people" 2 weeks ago:
I vote we let him have his wet dreams of being a human murdering machine.
- Comment on Itch.io apologise for "frustration and confusion" after delisting thousands of NSFW projects 3 weeks ago:
I really, really hope an alternative to MasterCard and Visa appears, at least here in EU.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 4 weeks ago:
No, the faster the speed of sound, the less delay there is.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 4 weeks ago:
Basically, when you push something, you push molecules, those in turn push the other molecules etc., that’s what it is.
The delay is there every time, it’s just usually really fast, the speed of sound in solid mediums is much bigger than the speed of sound in air.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 4 weeks ago:
You already got some answers, but I thought of something you might find interesting: if you had a multiple kilometers long pole in a vacuum and pushed on it, the push itself would propagate at the speed of sound!
Meaning the other end wouldn’t really move immediately, but it would instead take multiple seconds or even minutes if the pole is large enough. If it’s made of oak and is 9 km long, it would take around 3 seconds (the speed of sound in oak is around 3 km/s IIRC).
- Comment on Russia and Belarus plan to create AI model based on “traditional values” 5 weeks ago:
Ah, the traditional Russian values of hiding the truth from your superiors because there’s a culture of shooting the messenger of the bad news. Can’t see this going wrong when training an AI.
- Comment on Day 356 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 5 weeks ago:
I’m weirdly excited that soon it will be a full year of daily screenshots.
- Comment on is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal 5 weeks ago:
I can think of multiple reasons a straight man could get aroused by seeing a dick.
First, erections don’t occur only because of arousal, they can happen from adrenaline as well. I guess if you’re a homophobe and are about to watch gay porn as part of research, you might get a bit of adrenaline.
Another reason I can think of is that most straight men see a dick when they watch porn, meaning their brain may make the association of “dick on screen = some hot nude lady is gonna show up”.
- Comment on A video game on 'gold diggers' is fuelling a sexism debate in China 1 month ago:
Critics like her say the very term “gold digger” reeks of misogyny.
No, the term itself doesn’t imply gender at all.
Anyway, I never really saw the problem with gold diggers, it’s a relationship like any other - you give your partner something they need and the partner gives you something you need.
So what if one of the parties needs money and the other a young woman to feel better? If there’s no coercion and no actual scamming, I don’t see the problem.
- Comment on Why does everyone hate Income tax ? 1 month ago:
Congrats on the US defaultism! I’m not from the US, so stick your crack comment up your arse.
- Comment on Why does everyone hate Income tax ? 1 month ago:
Because the government has all the fucking data it needs to just tell me how much I owe, but no they force me to calculate it myself every year. Or to pay an accountant because it’s a horrible mess of a form.
My main issue is with taxes in general. Well over half of my income (some sources suggest up to 70%) ends up being paid as some kind of tax.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 1 month ago:
So because you do it correctly, everyone else should get fucked or what? Like, you know how many people have bad parents?
So, congrats, your kids won’t suffer from that (or maybe they will once they have their own money because the path way of “spend a $1, get an in-game item, get an instant rush of feel-good hormones” is forming even with moderation). But other kids may, unless of course you think that it’s somehow their fault they have shitty parents.
So no, I really don’t want this around kids whose lives will be ruined just so your kids can have a fun time (which they can have in other ways, including other games).
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 1 month ago:
Nah, I’m obsessed with corporations not ruining kids lives just to get few more dollars.
Also, please, stop putting words into other people’s mouths.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 1 month ago:
Cool, that’s why half the games you listed are just gambling machines in disguise?
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 1 month ago:
Ah, the classic “world hunger is a myth, I have eaten today.”
I’m not saying there are not the rare gems in mobile games (just bought Don’t Starve on Android last month!), but like 99% of games for mobile are just s money making scheme using dark patterns to influence your brain to give them money.
And congrats on not spending on micro transactions! You do realize the world doesn’t revolve around how your perceive things, right? If young people are exposed to micro transactions like that, it alters their brains and not in a good way. And that’s science, there really isn’t much you can argue with.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 1 month ago:
Who would’ve thunk, young people with brains that are not fully developed tend to prefer games with addictive elements.
- Comment on Virgin Physicists 1 month ago:
If it fits, great! If it doesn’t, you didn’t use enough tape.
- Comment on What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole? 2 months ago:
Yeah, I didn’t mean surviving reaching the center. But on the other hand, a singularity cannot exist (as far as we know), so what’s going on inside the black hole is one big unknown.
- Comment on What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole? 2 months ago:
Nothing near a black hole breaks physics. And I’d argue that outside what the heck is singularity really breaks physics as we know it.
