Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If we did an experiment to measure many peoples' maximum poop velocities, I'm sure we could use the data to design a toilet tall enough to never splash anyone back.
5·6 days agoTurdminal velocity is an important consideration.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•If I shared a home with a 36' tall, 2-ton creature, I would be very careful to stay away from its feet while it walked
5·10 days agoMy cat is always trying to trip me. Then again, she looks and acts like one of her parents was an African wildcat straight from the savanna. Even when she’s being purry and cuddly laying in my nook, she keeps trying to lovingly bite my face off and when I play with her, she does backflips several feet into the air trying to catch whatever toy I’m animating for her. Little creature is half wild!

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•It should be "as the duck flies", not "as the crow flies".
3·13 days agoDon’t ducks have specific migratory flyaways, so it’s more akin to commercial airlines in that they fly specific routes seasonally? Other than that, I assume they primarily fly between bodies of water. “As the duck flies” would therefore assume that a duck would even fly the route in question, when in fact, a crow may be more likely to fly it than a duck.

5·17 days agoAFAIK, the service module is European, built by the ESA, so this is not 100% an American accomplishment.

At least the crew for this mission includes a black guy and a woman, unlike the 24 white dudes who crewed the Apollo missions.

121·17 days agoSLS has gotten a lot of well-deserved hate for being an expendable money pit. All that aside, damn, it lifted off with humans in it and off to the moon! There’s no other currently available rocket that can do that, including Starship.

World News@lemmy.world•UN votes to recognise enslavement of Africans as 'gravest crime against humanity'English
64·24 days agoThe equivalent of the Epstein class has committed horrid human rights violations throughout history for their own profit and pleasure. Mainly the rich owned slaves, but taxpayers are expected to foot the bill for reparations? It would make more sense if the current human rights violators like billionaire Zionists paid the reparations for both past and current crimes against humanity.
Schrödinger’s cat has nothing on this dog. Time to update the textbooks.

I wouldn’t put it past the US government to pull some shenanigans, and I certainly wouldn’t rule out the possibility that some aspect of it was a lie. That being said, I have yet to see any evidence that it was faked that isn’t simply a misunderstanding of the science.
