- Comment on What do you think the PPE is for 1 day ago:
Well, that change alone would mean elements have different names…
- Comment on THEY'RE EVOLVING 4 days ago:
I imagine if it hurt, they would pick some other material.
They mix it with some material they produce, so it won’t behave like pure cement. Also, after you mix it, concrete isn’t caustic.
- Comment on Fell off the horizon into a black hole 4 days ago:
The Universe is locally flat.
And so is the Earth if you localize it enough.
- Comment on Does the filament path of ruby nozzles degrade + is DUROZZLE any good? 4 days ago:
The idea is that just the very end of the path needs a precisely sized hole. Every other part of the path is wider, what reduces wearing, and doesn’t need as much precision, so wearing isn’t a problem.
I have no idea how it actually works on practice. I never used one of them, and I never used an abrasive material.
- Comment on Giving good Hedera 5 days ago:
Not necessarily the bird.
But yeah, AFAIK crickets and frogs only have horny sounds.
- Comment on Giving good Hedera 5 days ago:
Animals have sounds for all kinds of stuff, not just for trying to get laid.
- Comment on United States of Autism 5 days ago:
Many diseases seem to not exist in New Zealand.
- Comment on Is my stepper motor failing? 1 week ago:
Do you think those really tiny bearings used for the extruder axis’ can make such a sound?
Absolutely, yes. If it never made that sound and started with age, do not go sanding anything. Clean and lubricate again and look for broken parts.
Any point of contact can be making that noise. Including the motor, yes, but everything else is more likely.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 week ago:
Anything can be “pseudo”-any other thing if you apply enough pressure on the definitions.
Also, honest question: Are you cake?
- Comment on Should Neutron Stars be Added to the Periodic Table? 1 week ago:
The number of solutions to the Schrodinger equation of the atom increases exponentially with the main quantum number.
Our current periodic table is already huge. People break the last lines down into a set of disjoint lines that have about the same width as the main table.
- Comment on Should Neutron Stars be Added to the Periodic Table? 1 week ago:
Hum… The width of each row increases exponentially with their number.
It’s probably just some ~1m away from the small elements.
- Comment on The 2025 Ig Nobel Prize Winners 2 weeks ago:
Maybe the Ignobel publishers are trying to get their prize next year… It’s an interesting experiment on time-dependent literature.
- Comment on Is communist idea of base & superstructural bullshit? 2 weeks ago:
It kinda is.
There exist a hierarchy of needs, it’s a subjective one but all people share a large part of it. There also exists a very objective and measurable hierarchy of production.
Interpreting that as “low-herarchy factors are X” is useless and dishonest unless X means “things we need to prioritize in a crisis”. And saying any of that comes from Marxism or any kind of communist theory is just bullshit.
- Comment on The 2025 Ig Nobel Prize Winners 2 weeks ago:
The link there doesn’t work either. And the title seems to have changed since you copied from there.
Seems to be this paper: www.sciencedirect.com/…/S0376635710000446
I tried to comment it here a while ago, but .world was temporarily out or work.
- Comment on The 2025 Ig Nobel Prize Winners 2 weeks ago:
The links on the aviation prize don’t work.
- Comment on Disney 2025 2 weeks ago:
Disney is now a Nazi collaborator.
It’s actually not very far from the depiction.
- Comment on 2 OP 2 weeks ago:
Yes. The OP posted the video, it’s clearly an ablative protection.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuum_mechanics
Continuum mechanics deals with deformable bodies, as opposed to rigid bodies.
I guess F = ma is pure Newton + Galileo.
- Comment on How many hands long do they get? 2 weeks ago:
That second phrase can be useful information…
- Comment on I AM NOT A TOY 2 weeks ago:
Remember people, keep your tartigrades well hydrated and fed so you won’t have to pass them as a commitment to several generations of your descendants.
- Comment on yin yang 2 weeks ago:
Oh, statistics is a completely different beast. From the kind that will actually attack you, differently from the ones the OP is afraid of.
- Comment on How does the Chinese government even work 3 weeks ago:
At the end of the day all governments are desperately afraid of making people angry (at them), from the healthiest democracy to the most totalitarian dictatorship
One would think so. But a quick glance at Russia, or even the current US one would show you otherwise.
Most governments don’t seem to pay a lot of attention to it. Democracies tend to be the most concerned ones, but it still varies a lot.
- Comment on How does the Chinese government even work 3 weeks ago:
China seems very stable to me. Their government is afraid of making people angry, and removing basic help like that is very likely to make people angry.
But also, it seems to me that the “generally” in “generally free” is doing some work. AFAIK, some care is free, some care isn’t. And the pretty good quality of life doesn’t seem to be universally distributed. Both of those seem to be improving quickly, but the “people are better than in the US” impression one may take from that comment seems to be a misrepresentation.

You just got OneDrive?
- Comment on Jair Bolsonaro found guilty by Brazilian Supreme Court 3 weeks ago:
He wasn’t condemned for treason. (I don’t think anybody ever was.) And yeah, that’s the one crime Brazil punishes with death.
He was condemned to 24 years in prison. That’s probably enough for him to never get out anyway.
- Comment on If spiderman shoots webs from his wrists would not the tension of shooting and swingiing up a skyscraper pretty much break his wrist? Also why SpiderMAN shouuldn''t it be SpiderTEEN? 3 weeks ago:
He’s supposed to be super-strong.

I’m pretty sure none of those cakes are.

Hey! Ranking the species by distance is really unfair!
- Comment on The Bog 5 weeks ago:
Even then, I can imagine that several people only discover that they aren’t in fact ok with dozens of large spiders climbing through their heads after it happens.
