Don't ever, for any reason, do anything, to anyone, for any reason, ever, no matter what, no matter where, or who, or who you are with, or where you are going, or where you've been, ever, for any reason whatsoever.

Man, I already don’t do verbs at people. I’m posting this to a website though, and that doesn’t involve people, but if you choose to read it, then I’m delighted. If we have that layer of internet abstraction, then we can do whatever we want?

I’m gonna go outside and touch some grass.

A lot of people think that to get to orbit, you just go up. That's partially true, but in reality you go up to get out of the atmosphere, and then go sideways really, really fast.

Imagine throwing a ball in the air. If you throw it straight up, then no matter how high you throw it, it just comes back down. Now imagine throwing it across the room. It falls in a curved arc, right? Now imagine throwing it so fast that it goes past the horizon. That curved arc is still there, and it's much longer now.

Now imagine throwing it so hard that it not only goes past the horizon, it actually never hits the earth in the first place. That's an orbit! Of course, the earth has an atmosphere, so it would slow down because of aerodynamic drag. That's why we send rockets way upward—to get out of the air.

So a satellite in orbit is literally just falling constantly, but because it's going so fast, it's always missing the earth. It's for this reason that an astronaut can't "fall off of" the space station. They're moving just as fast as the station is, and so even if they pushed themselves off of it, they would remain in orbit.

If you find yourself on a space station don't push yourself off it tho.

Gros Michel was tastier than modern Cavendish anyway.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago (3 children)

We switched to Cavendish because all the gros Michael trees were dying from the fungi.

We are only 5 years ahead of a fungus that makes farmland unusable. And that 5 year gap is shortening every year because the fungus is evolving faster then our ability to genetically modify crops to combat it. This fungus is in almost every field in north America and is related to the fungus that took out the bananas in the past.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

I thought the 5 year gap was shortening every year because the years pass

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago

Nope, a newly modified canola strain has about 2 years before the fungus can overcome it. And a new strain needs to be introduced. And those new strains are getting harder and harder to produce.

Yo, I got plenty of experience with stuff, I did lots of stuff when I was younger and still do stuff often, so feel free to ask me about stuff!

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Clearly you're unqualified, you know about stuff, they're looking for someone with experience in anything and knowledge of something. Your knowledge of stuff isn't needed here.

You’ll have to pay me to tell you what it is I know and then pay me again to explain it.

The stem on a wine glass has a purpose besides looking fancy. A wine drinker is meant to hold the glass by the stem so the temperature in their hand doesn't affect the flavor profile in the wine. All wines have an ideal serving temperature also. It depends on the specific wine, but in general, reds are slightly below room temperature and whites are slightly above fridge temperature.

Thanks I'll use this for when I next have soup

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago (4 children)

May I offer you a bowl of sauvignon blanc to go with your glass of soup?

Not to brag, but a quick calculation reveals that I have over 3000 hours of pooping experience, so yeah, I know some stuff about pooping 😎

The mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell.

Parasitic wasps will paralyse spiders and lay eggs inside them, then the spider will slowly die being eaten alive by wasp larva from the inside.
