In the example in from that what if, they are putting a universe’s worth of mass in the volume of the moon, so it would create a super massive singularity. That’s not what is happening in here.
If every atom suddenly gained an electron, they would indeed increase in mass. But a hydrogen atoms would gain the most relative mass as it is the lightest atom, and that would only be an increase of 1/1837th of its total mass now, so… not that much. Masses of heavier atoms and the macro level matter made from them would increase in mass even more marginally. It would be a negligible difference, definitely not be enough for a singularity to form from this increase alone unless a star’s core were already riding that edge.
So their original determination would still be correct, that molecules would fly apart (atomized) and explode outward into the vacuum of space. Now, maaaaybe if the explosive force were enough to cause atoms to collide in space and at relativistic speeds, tiny singularities might form. But their combined negative charge would be far more powerful than their gravitational pull, and they would decay almost immediately, so… no crunch.

Hey those fucking atom bastards are nothing but negativity. They know what they did.
- Comment on No More Neutral ⚛ 4 days ago:
You know how when you put magnet faces together with the same polarity, they push against each other. If you squeeze them together they will pop away. When an atom has an extra electron, it makes its charge more negative. If all of the atoms have extra electrons, all of their charges will be more negative. Now imagine every single atom in the universe was suddenly the same polarity and began pushing all other atoms away. I’ll let your imagination take over from there.
- Comment on Banned Mullvad VPN TV ad criticizing United Kingdom escalating censorship and mass surveillance “And Then?” 1 week ago:
At one point in time advertisements were in dedicated sections of newspapers, magazines, posted in business windows and maaaaybe sent out in mailors. And that was about it. When TV broadcasts first started there was an dilemma over whether people would tolerate TV commercial breaks, and whether they were even ethical since you couldn’t just turn the page if you didn’t want to read the ad. We’re light-years beyond that shit now. Ads that try to appear to be anything but ads, individually targeted ads, unskippable ads on CPR instructional videos, ads in search results, ads on floating billboards among the beach, ads on your refrigerator, ads on your personal tablet or laptop, ads on the damn gas pump… it’s fucking dystopian.

- Comment on Obsidian's The Outer Worlds 2 Underperformed, and There Won't Be a Third - IGN 3 weeks ago:
I kept getting mixed up with Outer Worlds and Outer Wilds, and got really excited then disappointed when I heard about Outer Worlds 2, thinking that Outer Wilds was getting a sequel. So it was always a bummer to me even without actually playing the game.
- Comment on What kind of stupid rule is that? 3 weeks ago:
“Everybody knows […]” means my parent(s) had some weird or strict rules and life lessons that I had hounded into me which I internalized into my very being and never questioned, and now I have unspoken and often unrealistic expectations of people and the world that no one has absolutely any reason to know about.
- Comment on New Fable game removes feature core to franchise's DNA 5 weeks ago:
Right? Also it’s not like the mechanic is universally loved. The good vs evil decision features of games (like in Fable, Infamous, Knights of the Old Republic, etc.) are often heavily criticized for being obvious, simplistic, forced, and sometimes even punishing to some play styles or mistakes by restricting some skills behind one alignment or the other.
I liked it as a mechanic personally, but I am also interested to see how the new evolution on the mechanic works. Maybe it’s shit, maybe it’s a more nuanced version of the old one. We’ll see.

I hate onion. I dont cook it. Can’t stand the smell of it. Best case scenario, I use onion powder in something. I still get these comments, so… no.

I think you misunderstood the intent of my comment. I wasn’t, in any way, attacking you. I was just providing commentary on one small part of your comment on the general summary of the cause of the issues. None of what I said was meant to be accusatory or even directed at you at all. Sorry that I wasn’t clear about that. It sounds like we are in more or less complete agreement.

The communities want access to the huge social safety net
As anyone would and as should be provided to them lest they be treated as second class citizens in their new country. You want tensions to rise, restricting the same benefits that are a right for everyone else is a good start.
but not have to pay taxes
Again, as anyone might. But then, of course, this is non-negotiable. Maybe some subsidy can be given to help people get started in a new country with next to no resources, connections or money, but the taxes come with the perks and the perks come with the taxes. That’s just the beginning and end of that.
or assimilate/learn the native language
You couldn’t pay me to give the slightest fuck that a 1st generation immigrant, let alone a refugee who was forced to leave their home, doesn’t assimilate into the local culture or learn the native language. They have to obey your laws and participate in and contribute to your society. But they do not need to fall in line with your culture. I get that that can be challenging and cause some conflict. American history is full of this stories. But immigrants bring their own culture, their own language, their own races and religions. Those are not things to erased, they are things to be remembered, honored, shared, and ultimately merged.
And it won’t happen all at once. It will happen over generations. Their kids will assimilate a bit, and they’ll share their culture with their native peers. What’s strange and foreign now will become familiar ethnic diversity to your kids. A few generations from now, you’ll eventually have a shared culture that shares roots from distant places but comes together into one intertwined whole.
There’s certainly a lot of problems with America, and there’s been and is no shortage of bigotry and struggle against new cultures coming in. But that amalgamation of cultures, languages, cuisines, styles, architectures, myths, histories, religions, etc. into American Culture while still honoring distinct cultural and national identities is still one of our greatest features (when the nazi racists aren’t in charge that is). That’s the nature of being a nation of immigrants. Welcome to the Melting Pot, baby.

Right I don’t know why everyone gets pissed off about language in particular with first generation immigrants. Particularly refugees. Learning a new language is a massive undertaking, and it’s a skill many never master even with years of practice. Plenty, I’m sure, feel that they can get by without it by living in their communities, so they’re not motivated. And I don’t think they should be. Far easier for their children to learn and assimilate, break down that language barrier and bridge that gap. It’s absurd to expect everyone to speak one language.
