  • It's a lot of effort to solve an issue that's already solved by being vegan so eh, I'm pretty indifferent to it at least at face value. If it can compete with a vegan diet in terms of climate and ecosystem impact then I'll support it but I've no interest in it personally. I don't really have any justification for not being interested, I'm just not.

    I'd be much more interested in seeing artificial cheese made from proteins created by yeast or bacteria tbh.

  • I can highly recommend symfonium as a front end for a jellyfin music library on android, it's super clean and has tons of nice features.

  • Depends on the size of the black hole.

    Really big ones can let you live for a surprisingly long time. (Not going to quote any numbers because I'm not completely sure of them any more)

    Bigger black holes become more and more gentle.

  • No, that's not the case at all.

    If you fall into a black hole, you can do no experiment to detect the horizon, it's a completely unremarkable region of space to you. Infinite gravity is only really a thing at the singularity, but that's almost definitely just because our theoretical models breakdown and stop giving accurate descriptions of reality there.

    The stretching is just because of tidal forces, which means that gravity gets so much stronger closer to the black hole that your feet are pulled harder than your head, you experience the same thing standing on earth, it's just that the change in gravity is basically negligible here.

    Small edit: Tidal forces stretch you in the exact same way that they stretch the ocean, thus creating ocean tides.

  • On second thought, maybe they aren't a payphone if they're free 🤔

  • Yeah they're everywhere in my city still, they've even made them all free

  • Literally just had one of these 10 minutes ago

  • Tongue clicks are absurdly useful. In my family we use then to communicate over long distances and to find each other in big crowds

  • Oh yeah, I didn't even realise until you said it but I absolutely do that all the time

  • Not all of us get downvotes, I see them pretty much daily...

  • I like to think of it as a big list of extremely complicated instructions that you can follow to see how different types of particles interact in the standard model.

    There's a lot of different phenomena that you can derive from it, but my favourite is that if you know what you're doing, you can just read possible interactions off of it.

    It's also unnecessarily complicated, I've never seen someone have to use the full thing, you can get rid of a lot of it when you only care about specific particles. Part of the complication is that it's some insanely dense notation, it's actually far larger than it appears and contains lots of really complicated mathematical objects with some wild properties.

    (And to the pendants, yes this is an equation for quantum fields and not particles exactly, but that's never easy to explain)

  • Eepy goth punk tomboy, I can't stop napping today...

  • We have similar drains in Australia, I don't think it's particularly common but I have seen them get completely clogged in a big storm. Nearly flooded our friends house because they lived at the bottom of a hill.

  • "Are you sure you're not making it up"

    The medical system is not kind, my diagnosis was all of 5 minutes and almost definitely wrong. That was after fighting with my GP to get a referral to the right specialist...

    I reckon the worst part of a chronic illness is when you don't realise it's abnormal, I just assumed everyone else was just as tired and sore as me.

  • Capitalism means companies aren't gonna do shit, but you've got a choice to not participate in a flawed system.

    I'm not one to tell people what to do, but pretending that someone else doing a bad thing justifies another bad thing...
