Later, the bartender collected their Nobel prize for observing and writing about a meson that stayed stable for the duration of a short conversation

RIP in pieces, every supersymmetry based theory :(

Don’t we still have a few years before lemmy somehow enshittifies?

Better late than never, at least. And with Rogan specifically I can actually believe he supported Trump out of stupidity in the first place.

Plus, a middle aged masculine presenting white dude actually admitting that he was wrong/decieved about something is unironically a desperately needed role model rn. As somebody who previously had absolutely no respect for the man, he’s earned at least a sliver of my respect.

I wouldn’t be too surprised if you could achieve that kind of density for a few fractions of a second with explosive powered compression. I’m thinking something like the electromagnetic flux compression technique used by Nakamura et al to make the 1200T magnetic field back in 2018. The package absolutely wouldn’t exist for long though lol

I’m not going to repeat the slang for it but it makes so much sense that he’s a “named 4chan user.” Even among the most crusty basement dwelling community in modern history he’s shunned for being lame.

Paintballs are trickier than just a water balloon. They have to be rigid/strong enough to survive the blast of co2 or compressed air that propels them, then they have to be soft enough to break on impact without harming the other player.

They also just aren’t that messy. I worked under the table as a referee at a Paintball place when I was 13, and we played such that gameplay didn’t stop when refs were doing paint checks. We’d toss people out if they were intentionally focusing on us but I got lit up probably 10+ times a day, every weekend for 2 years. My jersey and slider pants came clean in the wash every time, and to this day the only lasting blemishes are the shredded fabric on the knees/elbows/ass from when I dove and slid a lot.

Man, corvids are so cool. My life goals include becoming friends with a murder of crows. I came close one time while training a pup to walk with training treats; she was super messy and dropped them all the time, and the crows started to recognize whenever we were walking and follow us to get those fallen treats. Unfortunately the pup loved to bark her head off and chase them around, and they did not like that. They even tried to drive me off once or twice by feinting diving attacks at my head

I feel like batch should be in the evil alignment section. My experience with batch files is that .bat may as well be written .forkbomb

The spyro remakes they did were faithful to the originals in a way that was super satisfying to my nostalgia. My only minor complaint is that they are clearly using better physics engine/edge detection, so most of the glitches used in speed running of the games are not in the tfb remake. Beyond that though it was exactly what I wanted; near carbon copy of the ps1 gameplay with ps5 graphics and hardware

A spectrum does imply a total order, but I’d argue that the meme stating there is exactly 1 who is the gayest, OOP is referring to a strict total order. I’d also argue that the gayness spectrum allows degenerate states (heh) and as such is a non-strict total order, rather than the strict total order implied by OOP

It gives people context for what kind of ai math I’m familiar with/formed my opinions about ai on (ie, generally lightweight transformer models rather than LLMs), as well as a small logos appeal of “hey I spent years of my life researching that shit, I at least kinda know what I’m talking about”

Kilroy was here

Fun fact; the standard model actually allows for spontaneous particle-antiparticle pair generation, so long as the pair mutually annihilate within some hbar defined time limit and conservation laws aren’t broken at a macro scale. This is the mechanism behind hawking radiation too; some of the energy given off by black holes is caused by spontaneous pair generation that happens such that one of the pair is created beyond the event horizon and the other member is created before the event horizon, causing one to be trapped and the other to be jettisoned into space.

I know that doesn’t really relate to your comment about containing antimatter but I counter with the following: I’m profoundly autistic and the standard model has been a special interest of mine before. I couldn’t resist the chance to infodump a bit

The fact that they commit less brazen violence than unregulated militias of the past doesn’t change the fact that they are unregulated militias. How many times have you read about the bastards being punished for “excessive force” (read, cold blooded murder in broad daylight), then found that their “punishment” was a few months of admin leave and a new job in another precinct? Regulations don’t exist unless they’re enforced, and we have a wildly long public record of cops breaking the law followed by the legal system choosing not to enforce the law in those cases.

This. I was a phd seeking cybersecurity researcher leaning heavily into AI up until last year, and it bothered me to no end that some of the most promising technology I have ever seen was being primarily used to enhance the police state or increase BP profits by a few %. AI is literally a step towards a utopian post scarcity future, but instead of being used that way it was immediately weaponized against the working class for the benefit of the parasite class.

We already have that. Cops with qualified immunity are almost definitionally an unregulated militia

I personally enjoy your satire, I think I’ve even commented on a few of your “not Chad mctruth” shitposts. It does scare me as an early member of boards like r9k in my childhood though. It’s hard to tell the satirists and the shitposters from the actual bigots and true believers, and myself and some of the other dinosaurs on the internet have watched in real time as communities that started like yours turned into the online alt right. I think you would do well to clearly label it as satire; I know it takes away slightly from your intended audience, but I think it’s more important to make it clear to anybody who doesn’t get it that the ideas you are presenting are the ideas of clowns and are to be mocked.

You’re thinking of the fourier series
