What is this Star Trek incantation shit

[–] [email protected] 45 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I'm a little bit stoned and it took me like 2 solid minutes and several rereads to figure out what the fuck this was, and I still think it's just buzzword salad

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago

I'm not stoned and same.

They forgot to include the crucial step where you reverse the polarity of the neutron flow

[–] [email protected] 9 points 3 months ago

Oh come on that's just nonsense. Let's stick to real science here please.

All you need to do is make sure that the area has been sweeped by chronotron particles filtered through a multiphasic tachyon diffractor.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 3 months ago

You need a deflector dish to do that.

That made my head spin. Sorry about the pun - guilty as charged.

The author really believes it and has even sued over it.

serpentinization, lol

[–] [email protected] 20 points 3 months ago (7 children)

From Wikipedia

Serpentinization is a hydration and metamorphic transformation of ferromagnesian minerals, such as olivine and pyroxene, in mafic and ultramafic rock to produce serpentinite.

Lithosphere:

A lithosphere (from Ancient Greek λίθος (líthos) 'rocky' and σφαίρα (sphaíra) 'sphere') is the rigid, outermost rocky shell of a terrestrial planet or natural satellite. On Earth, it is composed of the crust and the lithospheric mantle, the topmost portion of the upper mantle that behaves elastically on time scales of up to thousands of years or more.

Magnetic Anomaly

In geophysics, a magnetic anomaly is a local variation in the Earth's magnetic field resulting from variations in the chemistry or magnetism of the rocks. Mapping of variation over an area is valuable in detecting structures obscured by overlying material.

Proterozoic Eon

Proterozoic rocks have been identified on all the continents and often constitute important sources of metallic ores, notably of iron, gold, copper, uranium, and nickel.

Weakened geomagnetic field:

Over the last 200 years, the magnetic field has lost around 9% of its strength on a global average. A large region of reduced magnetic intensity has developed between Africa and South America and is known as the South Atlantic Anomaly.

In the Chinese language, Lóng 龍 is dragon. Di Long, literally earth dragon is what we call earth worms. So yes, dragons exist, depending on one's definition of the term, naturally.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (2 children)

I think olms should be dragons.

That sudy screams confirmation bias.

This is like "Is this the best barber in the world of Italian/Irish heritage with scorleosis and balding hairline named Joseph?" .... The answer is always: "Probably, yes"
