  I’m much more familiar with those terms being used in the active present tense sense than in a past tense sense. The elastic interval on the strain axis tends to be surprisingly short and plastic deformation can be difficult to detect with the naked eye.

  Holding that rubber band and having it stretch due to gravity is almost certainly an elastic deformation. I would be very surprised if there was no plastic deformation from that disposable spoon bending.

  A good rule of thumb is: if I cycled this change a bajillion times, would I eventually detect a change? If you answer yes, then plastic deformation is occurring. If you answer no, you’ve got elastic deformation.

  I found it super helpful to have the Sun’s center of mass labeled!

  I only wish Jupiter’s center of mass was also labeled in this graphic. I’ve been trying to puzzle it out myself, but I’m stumped!

  I’m glad it’s dead.

  I love the idea of imageboards. I love “anonymous” posting as a default. I love ephemeral threads.

  I thought generals were pretty good. Board culture was real. People would make nontrivial 4chan optimized original content for what I assume was love of art.

  There was something special about 4chan that I don’t think exists in forums, lemmy, tumblr, tiktok, or the other forms of social media we have now.

  But the place was a shithole.

  Split as it was by boards and threads, I could insulate myself from it to some extent but the culture on 4chan was getting worse year by year. The famous boards attracted a certain opinionated userbase and population had a large effect on what threads lived and died. I had so many threads hidden and yet I would still get a wave of revulsion looking at the catalog on my favorite board.

  There are other imageboards. There are open source imageboard projects. Without 4chan’s shadow, I hope that imageboards and imageboard culture develop in different directions.
