  Joe Rogan ruined horsepill posts

  Don’t blame yourself, they just don’t teach horses in school anymore

  Humans also fart methane, is that a reason not to ride them?

  Bipolar magnetic semiconductors?

  This is getting too philosophical.

  idk why you’re getting downvoted, I haven’t seen any scientists or doctors refute the study or claim there’s reason to believe this medicine won’t work.

  I see you got your food science degree from Trump University.

  This mostly. There’s also some speculation that worse results may cause users to execute more search queries (at least in the short term) and get served more ads.

  Yes, and as linear algebra teaches, to convert a vector from direction and magnitude to a list of numbers (components), follow these steps:

  1. Let the magnitude of the vector be represented by the symbol |A| or A.
  2. Let the direction of the vector be represented by the angle θ, which is measured counterclockwise from the positive x-axis.
  3. The x-component of the vector is given by: Ax = |A| cos(θ)
  4. The y-component of the vector is given by: Ay = |A| sin(θ)

  The vector can now be represented as a list of numbers: A = (Ax, Ay)

  For example, if a vector has a magnitude of 5 units and a direction of 30° counterclockwise from the positive x-axis, its components would be:

  Ax = 5 cos(30°) ≈ 4.33 units Ay = 5 sin(30°) ≈ 2.50 units

  The vector can now be written as A = (4.33, 2.50)

  I haven’t actively used Facebook since I was in high school, and recently scrolling through my feed it’s not even softcore it’s straight up p*rn!

  example (NSFW obviously)

  I keep hiding these posts & they don’t stop appearing… I wish I could tell Facebook I’m not a perpetually online horny teenager anymore. ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠ツ⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯

  I’m no physicist but researching this topic leads me to believe the person who posted the top comment is either a physicist worried about things that don’t impact others, or someone who has discovered the elixir of life and will live a thousand generations.

  According to perplexity, there are only 2 noteworthy consequences this could have, both of them relatively meaningless for most people’s existence today.

  First is what the end of the universe looks like (not a problem we need to worry about for all practical purposes) - If protons decay, all baryonic matter would eventually be converted into gamma ray photons and leptons. If they don’t decay, the matter will eventually be converted into… photons and leptons… same stuff, but it’ll take longer. Big whoop.

  Second is the implications on particle physics (again, not a real problem that substantially affects anyone’s life besides actual physicists) - since the stability of protons implies the conservation of the baryon number, which is a principle of the Standard Model, if protons don’t decay then… the standard model we already have is correct, and newer theoretical models attempting to unify all the forces will have a harder time doing so. That’s literally all it means, and impacts literally nobody except physicists AFAICT.

  So to the top commenter: either tell us your dirty secrets or get out of here with your alarmist crap.
