I don't think this is loss. I'm ready to eat crow if I'm proven wrong, but I think the real joke is the amount of time people will spend staring at this image and trying to figure out how it's loss

I know perogi are eastern European in origin, but the name feels like a Welsh prank to me. I've seen like 8 or 9 distinct correct ways to spell pierogi, none of which I'd pronounce correctly if I didnt already know how to pronounce the word pierogue. Your piroghi pizza fills me with the jealousy of a man who loves potato and cheese but the rage of a man who hates being made to consider the word pirogi.

Yep! To both I think? I remember back in like 2021 there was a paper where some team used lasers to induce radiation pressure in a beam of hydrogen and got it to cool down significantly, but I don't remember if they reached or were shooting for absolute 0. My napkin plan was thinking more along the lines of "optical vortex --> optical tweezers --> OAM molecules in the trajectory out of the way" rather than cooling them down. I'm pretty sure optical tweezers have only been achieved in close range lab conditions manipulating a very small number of particles, so the idea of doing it on enough particles to create a flight path and also at the distance you'd want to fire a projectile is probably unhinged

Study (N=16) finds absolutely nothing because their sample size is too small to meaningfully substantiate any conclusion.

Napkin math plan: a really big fucking laser. Use aforementioned big fucking laser to generate optical vortices; with the specific intent of creating a brief localized vaccuum state along the desired trajectory. This will require R&D during building. Concept is similar to how lightning works; "ionize" (or in this case, vaccumize?) a path, then send the payload. From there add in whatever condenser you need to generate solid forms of the substance you want to chuck and some kind of mag lev style launch rails to accelerate it into the vaccuum path. Theoretically if you can create an effective enough vaccuum along the trajectory, you shouldn't have to worry about the payload being affected by drag heating in transit.

Possible? Probably not. Would the government give general atomics a few billion to try anyway? Probably

This blew my mind the first time I experienced it. I thought I just didn't like receiving head for the longest time, because none of my past girlfriends really liked doing it and my pleasure tends to be pretty empathetic. Then I "dated" a woman in an open relationship/swinger situation who actively wanted my dick in her mouth most of the time. The first time she blew me (and honestly also most times after that too) she managed to get me into a full on autistic sensory overload state, like to the point that I was forgetting to breathe. It worked out super well for me because that made her feel like a sex goddess, and she really liked repeating that experience. It was strange because like, I've never felt more submissive in my life than when she had me in her mouth. She could turn me into a lump of playdough with a hopelessly misfiring central nervous system, and I was entirely at her mercy when that happened. I'd still make ruinous life decisions to spend another night in her bed lol

The cult really needs to indoctrinate its members with the idea that a violent abusive authority figure that does nothing but demand tribute and obedience from you while protecting you from nothing is somehow "love." Honestly that's the most offensive thing to me about christians and their imaginary friend. Even if you look past the fact that there is literally more evidence of Spiderman's existence than there is of god's existence, the thing they glorify is literally a violent abusive patriarchy.

Ya know, I had a thought about this yesterday. The sound of fireworks isn't traumatic for me, but it's easier to tell people that as the reason I won't celebrate the 4th rather than telling them I'm deeply disgusted by our actions on both the global and domestic stage and I am ashamed to be an American, not proud. It's easy to say here on lemmy, but no amount of "being a hero" in the past will prevent the communities veterans tend to be part of from ostracizing you if you question the myth of American greatness.

You sound more like a Rage Tuned File Monster, or rtfm for short

You pretending it's unprecedented is privileged and incorrect. This the first time since the Japanese internments that white or white adjacent people have regularly suffered illegal search and seizure and been made to feel unsafe in public in the US. The person you responded to brought up plenty of precedent for stuff that's as bad or almost as bad that has been accepted treatment of non-white people in the states since it became a country. You don't get to accuse somebody of being disingenuous because they care about the plight of people you seem to be happy to marginalize by claiming and defending that this is unprecedented. The only thing unprecedented about the current state of affairs is that white people are suffering because of it too
