If you got offended by my shitposting, lol. lmao.

Notifications stay off because I don’t play chess with pigeons. The fact that you want to argue about a shitpost with a stranger on the internet named “Dookieman” is all I need to know your opinion isn’t worth hearing.

Downvotes are delicious trophies; I’ve seen what you people like. Keep them coming.

    That’s a pretty gross oversimplification of inertia. The more mass an object has, the more energy that’s required to accelerate it.

    The genius lies in the understanding that a heavy object, once moving, will prefer to continue moving than come to a rest. This is why an 18-wheeler needs more distance to stop than a small car. Some people’s intuition tells them that a heavy object will come to a rest quickly.


  • Because that had nothing to do with it. If leaded gasoline caused serial killers, there would be a worldwide increase in the number of serial killers, but this isn’t the case.

    This number of serial killers is unique to the US in this specific time period because, at that place, during that time, it was never easier to be a serial killer. Technology had progressed enough to give us cars, highways, guns, and ammo, but hadn’t progressed enough to give us nationwide databases, nationwide news, DNA science, or IDs that couldn’t be easily forged.

    Only in this place, during this time, could someone kill multiple people, leave behind virtually no evidence, then move hundred of miles away under a fake name and repeat that process as many times as they wanted.

    Anywhere else but the US, they would have to cross a national border, which would be tracked and documented and required documents that couldn’t be easily forged. Any other time in history, you either can’t move hundreds of miles easily, or forensic science has advanced enough to make it much more difficult to leave no evidence behind.








  • A river gun might be the kind of dangerous you’re thinking of, but not river ammo. Many may fail to fire, but that’s about it.

    Worst case here would be a squib load, where the primer ignites, but not all of the power burns, and the bullet doesn’t make it out of the barrel. This isnt dangerous in and of itself. But, if the shooter fails to notice and attempts to fire another round with the barrel still obstructed, then we’re in “break the gun, hurt your fingers” territory.
