@ReviewsPossum But we can derive the speed of light from other natural constants. Now why those other constants are what they are is the real question.

Scientists don't currently have an answer for why the speed of light (c) is what it is. We know that it's 299,792,458 m/s (and we even redefined the meter to be exactly 1/299,792,458 of the distance light travels in a second just to keep it precise), but we don't know why it goes that specific speed from first principles, or what combination of factors make it so. One guess (if you apply the anthropic principle) is that there exist multiple (possibly infinite) universes, each with a different set of physical constants, and the reason c in our universe is what it is is because that's the speed at which it's possible for physical matter to exist. We observe it as what it is because if it were different, we wouldn't be able to observe it because we wouldn't exist. But that's a conjecture. No one actually knows. By the way, the speed of light is more accurately thought of as the speed of causality.

@psychewanax @IterIntellectus Unfortunately, we all know that if you successfully go against a teacher like that on even a tiny point they will make a point of being ten times worse because you embarrassed them.

@deepfrd @IterIntellectus I hope your father didn’t listen to you.

unrelated but this reminded me of that time my second grade teacher disagreed with me and her response was "you'll be allowed to criticize me when you also have two degrees" so i went and got three, and along the way learned i was right incredible fuel, hatred and resentment

@RomanCabanac As long as he doesn't cave to the EU, this is a good move. I say that as an EU citizen who likes the idea of the EU but hates what it has become recently.

Hungary seems to have chosen the same hardliner with less corruption. Is that fair and accurate?

@bubbubbi @SlainByTheWire pro tip if you ever need to record your voice for anything, they're basically sound booths

@deepfrd @SlainByTheWire Huh thats pretty smart

I’ll never understand people that eat food in their car. Either order it from home or eat it there. Or at least buy and take it home. Can you imagine the toppings falling off and making a mess in their car.

@SlainByTheWire Do not take this as any sort of excuse or endorsement of the "messy food review in car" people.

@SlainByTheWire The secret here is that cars are great for recording because they have noise isolation and you don't have to decorate / clean them up beforehand.

Every time I've heard the word "Ubuntu" it's only used to describe or promote terrible things. "But is this tweet about South Africa or Linux?" Did I stutter when I said "every time?"

@memeticsisyphus Everybody thinks the robots will either be mindless slaves (correct) or that we'll have some sort of Terminator or Matrix apocalypse event. But no one considers what if the robots were just like cool little buddies.

It was a robot chasing wild pigs down a city street. I bet you feel real dumb now.

@MrPumpkinFace1 Bro the US just legally imported just 5000 and look at the headlines.

What if we illegally imported 80 million foreign whites? You know, tilt the scales back. What would they do?

@VandalInferno @thegenesisbl0ck Not in South Africa, coloured here refers to Cape Malay / mixed race people from the Cape. They have a their own ethnic group and culture. They speak a cool dialect of Afrikaans.

@thegenesisbl0ck African, Coloured, and Indian? Wtf is the difference? Does Coloured not covered Black, Indians and other non whites? Do Aliens live there, District 9 style? 🤣😭

About to be discriminated against af

@Keanubtc @thegenesisbl0ck Everyone should do this until they are forced to reintroduce pencils test or genetic tests or whatever. If they want these policies make them really commit to them.

@thegenesisbl0ck I always select African, I am as African as anyone else presently living in this country

@dripgrillionair @upstatefederlst IDK about elsewhere but in Portugal the wife gets the husband's surname in addition and the children get both but only the husband's surname is their surname going forward. So Ms. A marries Mr. B and becomes Mrs. A B but little Pedro A B marries Ms. C and she becomes Mrs. C B.

@upstatefederlst Isn’t it a big thing in Latin cultures? How do they handle it?

Hyphenated last names are a stupid convention that falls apart after the second generation and you're just forcing your kid to go through the hassle of legally changing his name when he's adult. Your kid is not going to grow up to be Jack Porter-Felt-Jameson-O'Connor.

@Petit_Ver @DelusionPosting Always "Sophie" or "Lilleth" or "Emily."

@DelusionPosting This is the guy behind the account by the way... 😶

I think the reason that so many redditors are cucks is because they actually imagine themselves trading places with their wife, not her bf.

@Ackchyually2000 @reddit_lies Well that's great because now you have zero blame for running over those other people and saving your wife's boyfriend or whatever redditors have tied to that other track.

@reddit_lies The reason why this is a dilemma for Redditors because they believe all crime is a symptom of societal failure. The person who murders people is simply crying for help due to suffering generational trauma in a broken society that is unwilling to help him.

Reddit trolley problem:

@memeticsisyphus Also let us not forget the irredeemable effect of other students, especially that "bottom 20%." Kinda the only reason I wouldn't homeschool my children is so that they learn the hard way that that's what society is like but I won't because I'd consider that child abuse.

It’s true, every halfway intelligent right winger I know irl had a massive conflict with at least one elementary teacher over things like: reading ahead, reading too difficult books, not showing enough work, etc etc. it’s the first time we experience the uncaring tyranny of state bureaucracy and it sucks.

@ScienceTylia The government could issue an edict that the sky is now considered green and it would only make them look like fools rather than giving anyone any doubt that it is blue. Likewise, you are merely reinforcing the meaninglessness of a piece of paper issued by the government.

I am now legally a Woman. 🏳️‍⚧️❤️ Suck it transphobes. My gender has been female for years and now my sex is legally female too. 💃

@BladeofSpartan @FuckKoroks The story of Accuracy International is inspiring and would be completely illegal under the current laws. Better hang on to them because the likelihood of a new AI emerging from the UK is next to zero.

@deepfrd @FuckKoroks Thankfully we still have precision manufacture in Accuracy International Plus outposts from Beretta, FN, H&K, and Sig to sustain military & police weapons
