My pet theory is that it’s a reaction to the couch fucker thing. The left made up and ran with a story, and this is them trying to do the same thing. Obvious problem being that it’s racist, dangerous, and not funny, but that’s the right for you.

And I was then double surprised that being inside the sun for a nanosecond would be so devastating!

• 10^-5 J on the surface, when 5 J is needed for a burn
• Surface of the sun is a few thousand degrees, inside is a few million

So like a jump off 10^3. No problem, should still be fine.

Not even remotely! I didn’t look too close, but the equation he linked has temperature raised to the forth, so a temperature jump of 10^3 would result in 10^12 difference in energy.

Which would increase the 10^-5 J on the surface to 10^7 J. Which explains why you’d only have femtoseconds!

A real double whammy of unintuitive results.

I can’t believe you’ve done this

Ah yes, we simply need people to ask for better!

I mean, I definitely agree with you - we should have an educated, engaged population that is able to critically assess what they’re being told and realize when people are trying to distract them from important issues. Of course! That’s still the destination, though, and it’s a ways off.

Why don’t people ask for better?

Because education funding is too low.
Because grocery bills are too high.
Because folks are working multiple jobs just to try to get by.
Because we’ve had to watch Trump/the GOP be weird little gremlins while pretending to have the moral high ground and GOD does it feel good to watch them melt down over being called on it.

“Asking for better” is a healthy salad, and watching someone get dunked on is a greasy fast food burger.
Sure, everyone should pick a healthy salad… but this is America.

I hate that stupid physics ruins this very good joke :/

Xenon and Krypton are noble gasses that are produced from fission, but I don’t think they’re ever the pre-guillotine input.

Ancient greeks would like a word

Better to do nothing, so we can continue living in a world where minorities aren’t armed, and where racism and oppression don’t happen, right?

America has a mass shooting problem. Gun control sure seems to be an effective way to stop children from being killed in schools, and caring about children being safe doesn’t mean I don’t care about PoC.

The whole point was that A) minorities should arm themselves, which you clearly agree with and B) that IF conservatives are scared of an armed minority population and create gun control laws (which we’re all acknowledging would be intended to harm minorities), there would still be a positive effect in that children would be safer.

Ugh this shit makes me so MAD!! I’m sorry you had to experience that, and I’m proud of you for recognizing the warning signs and leaving.

Yeah sure, it’s not all men, but it sure seems like all women (that date men) have dealt with this garbage to the point where they have to constantly be on the lookout for these same shit. And these guys know that it’s a problem, so they hide it and each flag you see isn’t necessarily red (cause maybe he’s just oblivious/misinformed/joking/whatever), and you need to keep a list of these maybe-problems and make a determination if is the one that means all these other things were actually red flags. Also - everyone is excited and thinks their partner is the best at the beginning of a relationship, and it’s hard to identify a red flag when you’re wearing rose-colored glasses.

“Schrodinger’s douchebag” is the guy who says something problematic, then decides whether it was a joke depending on the reaction he gets. Women collect a bunch of Schrodinger’s red flags, that only become glaringly red when you already know the guy’s a dick.

I’d HIGHLY recommend the book “Why does he do that” for both men and anyone who dates men. The author works with abusive men, and discusses the root causes of the problematic behavior that so many women experience. TL;DR: Men have deep-seated expectations for how their partner should behave and make them feel, and deviations from those expectations are met with anger. I’m not abusive, but reading it helped me identify similar thought patterns that I had, and I’m a better partner for it.

I think there’s a seed of truth in “fuck all men” since all men ARE exposed to problematic worldviews and the “traditional” set of expectations for a relationship are patriarchal. Yes, there are exceptions, but “men” as an abstract group hold those views, and FUCK those guys.
