Pretty much everything by Avril Lavigne.

Oh wow. Yeah I have it but didn’t realise the Blink 182 guys were involved till now.

How long is your instance blocklist that this one left as a common sentiment?

tobogganablaze ,

Hard to tell, the latter ones are usually eerily quite or will deflect when pressed about the first one.

tobogganablaze ,

You were the first to claim that it is a common sentiment, burden of proof is on you mate.

tobogganablaze ,

My bad, didn’t scroll up all the way.

Still, asking someone for data for disagreeing with your own unsubstantiated comment seems rather disingenuous. Definitly something you want to avoid when posting with a mod tag.

tobogganablaze ,

What data exactly are you looking for? You’re expecting someone to do data analysis on the lemmy api for you? You serious?

What is and isn’t a common sentiment on lemmy is inherently a subjective question that depends on your instance, personal settings and browsing behavior (I even hinted at that with the blocklist question). You don’t need a “I would say” prefix to make that clear. It’s common sense. Trying to spin it so that my statement was somehow supposed to a factual truth while yours wasn’t is just petty.

I usually like your comments, quite said to see you stoop to such bad faith conversation methods.

tobogganablaze ,

I just don’t need one, so never bothered with it.

By showing us how small in space mass can be, black holes continuously generate space.

@showerthoughts

tobogganablaze ,

But black holes do not generate space?

tobogganablaze ,

Ah, I assume you mean they compress matter and then free up the space that matter occupied.

It’s really confusing when you talk about a cosmological topic but then use “space” in a non-cosmological sense.

tobogganablaze ,

But the radius of the universe is not staying the same, it’s expanding. And entropy isn’t constant, it’s increasing.

tobogganablaze ,

The expansion of the universe has been confirmed over and over again since it was discovered in 1929, even won the 2011 noble price when they discovered the expansion is accelerating. It’s been basically confirmed over and over again for close to 100 years.

I guess “What instead of the universe expanding we’re just shrinkng?” would have been a great showerthought. But you really should just leave at that.

Once you’re trying to come up with explanations involving physics buzzwords it just sounds like pseudoscientific gibberish.

tobogganablaze ,

Well you can’t win a nobel prize while ignoring the standard model, can you?

Yes you can. You just have to come up with a new model that matches all the current data just as well or better than the standard model.

There hardly ever is a theory that can explain everything. We basically just go with the model that matches that data the closest.

Maybe some future astrophysicist will hook up on this.

I mean the “expansion is just shrinking from another perspective” is not exactly an outlandish or super original thought. I’m sure past astrophysicist have considered it for quite a while, but so far all have dismissed it.

tobogganablaze ,

My point is: How can you be so sure it has been dismissed?

Models that don’t work should be dismissed. If you have a model for shrinkage that does work it should not be dismissed.

It appears, the SM doesn’t disagree with shrinkage at all.

Yup, pretty much.

But why does it seem your mind being blown by this idea? Maybe be because you didn’t consider us being sucked in anywhere? If that’s the case, here’s why didn’t you consider this yet: I didn’t yet post my post despite the probability of not having a new thought.

Sorry, I’m not following. My mind is definitly NOT blown and black holes don’t “suck in” things. That’s a common misconception. And I really don’t know what you’re trying to say with the sentences after that.

Your unfriendliness could just have hurt a kid’s interest into space. Remember that.

I’m sorry that you think I was unfriendly.

But this a community for people that smoked too much weed to saything dumb things that sound clever when you don’t think about them too much.

If there is actual kids around that are interested in space theneven more important that unscientific non-sense gets called out.

[1] science20.com/…/universe_expanding_or_are_we_shri…

Quite interesting article, you should read it.

But the TL;DR here is that so far all “shrinking gravity” models had major flaws and didn’t work. And the last idea of perfeclty scaling atoms is unobservable, so really more of a thought expriment than an actual model.

tobogganablaze ,

Getting a second opinion is a very common thing for people with serious conditions. Not really sure what you’re on about.

tobogganablaze ,

TL;DR:

“Once we have nuclear fusion energy will be so cheap we can waste it on even the dumbest projecets”.

tobogganablaze ,

plus because hydrogen is lighter than air it means the aircraft that run on it would be even more efficient due to the lower weight

Hydrogen is lighter then air because it’s less dense. So it takes a lot of space to store very little hydrogen. So to have get any useful amount of hydrogen on a plane, you need to store it cryogenically under high pressure. That makes hydrogen planes much heavier and less efficent … even if you could figure out how to keep the hydrogen cooled on longhaul flights.

It’s also just a general saftey nightmare. And on top if that you’d still produce water vapour as an exhaust, which is a potent greenhouse gas when emitted at altitude.

Overall hydrogen planes are a terrible idea that don’t really solve anything.

tobogganablaze ,

as the fuel drops if the fuel doesn’t weigh anything

That’s really not how this works. Yes, hydrogen is very light. But it also much less dense and has lower energy density then regular jetfuel. So if you want the same range on your plane, you’d actually have to load more hydrogen by weight than you would jetfuel.

Children pre-puberty are effectively identical aside from environmental factors

Except for the fucking ovaries and prostates.

tobogganablaze ,

Yes.

tobogganablaze ,

I guess I’m kind of getting the overall point you’re trying to convey, but god dammit did you really had to butcher physics like that to get there?

tobogganablaze ,

The Starwars Prequels.

tobogganablaze , (edited )

I think I would agree, though I only watched the sequels once and was so bored I didn’t really pay attention. But when the sequels released Starwars was already ruined and I very much expected them to be shit. So I guess they don’t feel as bad because they were close to what I expected.

Also I’ve seen very little praise for them compared to the prequels.

tobogganablaze ,

Oh, yes the special edition re-release … where all the guns have been replaced by walkie-talkies and the word Wookie has been change to “hair challenged animal”.

The Plinkett reviews are probably the best thing that came from the prequels! I must have watched them more often then the actual movies by now.

tobogganablaze ,

And that’s what the prequels did for me: They finally answered so many of the questions I had after watching the originals. So it was pretty cool for me to finally see that aspect on the big screen as well.

But it was terrible worldbuilding that often contradicts the original movies or just doesn’t make any sense.

I liked the prequels when they first came out. But I was around 11. And I thought they were great because of the much better lightsaber and spaceship action. I got so many Starwars LEGO sets.

When I rewatched them in my early twenties I was baffled about how bad they were, now having learned to care about storytelling and characters from other shows and movies, the fight- and action scenes weren’t really that important and when you don’t focus on them, the movies are just so boring and awkward. That wasn’t the case when rewatching the OT.

tobogganablaze ,

I guess they look prettier. But they are boring AF. There is no tension or stakes between the characters because they’re all boring or unlikable and it’s so highly choreographed it looks like dance number from a musical.

Yeah, OT lightsaber fights lacked action. But at least they had weight and meaning behind them. That makes them much, much better in my opinion.

tobogganablaze ,

Ok, so you clearly only care about the action scenes and don’t care about the story at all. Guess that’s a view point that exists.

tobogganablaze ,

I guess having 15 mins dance number against overloaded CGI background is technically a “visual spectacle”, I so give you that.

one of most emotional fights

I don’t even know how to respond to that. I guess feeling relief that the movie is finally over is an emotion.

tobogganablaze ,

Dude is not just my opinion

Oh it very much is just that. And I respect your right to have a terrible one

And definitely feels way more sincere than whatever the fuck is Disney

Sure ok. But that’s comparing a turd to diarrhea. Sure one is worse then the other, but in the end both are just shit.

tobogganablaze ,

I’ve recently come to terms with the fact that I guess I’ve just grown out of Star Wars. When you strip away all of the nostalgia

Very true. Rewatching stuff later with a new perspective certainly changes things.

I don’t think any of the originals (or prequels) hold up at all.

That is where I disagree. THe orginals do hold up, because Starwars was about classic adventure story. The character of Luke Skywalker. The original trilogoy (and there are quality differences between the eopisodes) overall get this right. It’s the sort of timless story, just with a spin on it beeing a sci-fi world.

The prequels and sequels completley missed that aspect of basic stoytelling. The OT stands out as a piece of revolutionary cinema, where the prequels are an elaborate ad to sell more Starwars toys.

tobogganablaze ,

This is clearly not true, Lucas cared a lot about his story and universe.

AHAHAHAHAHAHAH. Oh wait, your’re serious. Let me laugh even harder.

Movies should not be aiming to do only the classic adventure story over and over again, and the prequels weren’t bad because of the story.

Right. Movies shouldn’t. But Starwars should. But that’s not even the main issue. The prequels are just terribly written, no matter what genre they were supossed to be. Bad story, terrible characters with no development, inchorent and self condtradictory and padded with stupidly long and boring action scences. They are just bad movies. A director couldn’t have fixed that, they would need a complete rewrite.

tobogganablaze ,

Spot on. And don’t even get me started on Yoda. Not even did they make him stupid as fuck … no, he also had to get a little lightsaber and flip around like a character on super smash brothers. So ridiculous and basically a total character assasination.

tobogganablaze ,

Having your basic needs covered is cool, but I’d like some money on top of that, too. So work it is.

Even if god exists religion can't possibly be the way to god

So I thought about this in the shower amd it makes sense to me, like praying and stuff never worked for most people I know, so a direkt link to god gotta be unlikely. That made me conclude that religion is probably fake, no matter if there’s a god or not. Also people speaking to the same god being given a different set of...

Religion can’t do even that.
