That’s how basically all electronics work

Tat’s the neat part about it. Scientists dont understand it either.

How computers work is also some form of witchcraft. Even tho I understand the principles behind it, it still is literally magic that we get computers to execute stuff.

But heres the big one. Cancer. Your DNA holds the key to curing cancer. Some company has your DNA, and using your DNA creates a cure for Cancer. They then make trillions of money off of it. And you get fuck all, even though it your DNA. You dont even get to say that it should be given away. Its theirs now.

Basically what happened to Henrietta Lacks

Ah, The good old pennymarkt documentary. One of the most legendary German documentaries ever created.

Can’t argue with that

There absolutely is. Academia is completely fucked.

And what’s with the stickholders?

Living in a village has massive up and downsides.

The downsides are, that you are always dependant on a car to go anywhere. Public transit is usually non existent or unusable (at least if you value your time). Theres usually also not that much to do on the weekends. No going in a club because a band you like plays there. If you want to be able you have to drive their or have someone to drive you if you dont want to stay sober. The citizens of rural areas are usually more on the conservative side, so better not ask them about their views on immigrants. However it always depends on the region how bad it really is.

The upsides are, that you know people. You regularly see people, if you need help with something you can simply ask your neighbours, friends etc. Also since its a bit more common for people in rural areas to do manual labour this means, that you will know quite a lot of people that actually know how to do stuff. One massive upside is, that villages tend to be a bit more relaxed and more quiet in general. So this means, that after like 7pm its quite unusual to hear any or that much noise. However if someone is louder (e.g. they’re having a party) dont be a bitch and let them have fun. In return you can have fun too and dont get problems. However this highly depends on where you live. Especially older people sometimes tend to be quite bitchy and call the cops at you for being to loud. But again, it depends. If you decide to actually invest your time, es example by joining one or more clubs, you too get the chance to become part of the village. This is usually one of the few possible ways of actually integrating into a village and if you dont do this, you will be quite lonely.

And then theres stuff that’s an upside and a downside at the same time. Mainly it is, that when you know what everyone else has been up to everyone else knows what you have been up to. So better keep an eye on what you tell, because you can be sure that it will spread quite quickly and people love to make up weird shit, that doesn’t even have to be based on some form of reality. Trust me, this comes from someone who has heard the most bullshit imaginable told about my family.

So in short, its a quite fun thing but its not something for everyone. Especially the bad infrastructure is something that makes living in a village unattractive (this includes me, which is why I Am quite happy to live in a small town where I have quite a lot of aspects of the usual village live, but with more progressive people and actually functioning public transport).

Here’s what the article says:

Assuming a periodic table in which each element is represented by a 1 cm by 2.5 cm rectangle, 40 rows of 32 elements will take up one meter of space. At this scale, a periodic table incorporating element 10⁵⁶ would need to be 7.82 × 10⁵² meters long. This is problematic, because 7.82 × 10⁵² meters is about 10³⁷ lightyears, and the universe is currently estimated span a mere 93 billion lightyears. As such, the new periodic table would be a quadrillion times larger than the observable universe.

The universe is expanding, however, which is good news for chemists and first-home buyers. The rate of this expansion is apparently about 73 km/s for every million parsecs of space, which corresponds to 2 × 106 km/s across the entire universe.8 At that rate, the universe will be able to accommodate the new periodic table in about 10³⁴ years.

I just copy pasted it, so thats why its messed up.

I highly suggest reading the entire article. That shit is pure comedy gold. Here are some highlights:

IUPAC currently recognises 118 chemical elements. The last twenty have half-lives shorter than Australian prime ministers, and are of equally limited utility to science.

Instead, we have assumed that Rex is comprised of a uniform nucleon fluid, with protons, neutrons and electrons in an idealised 1:8:1 ratio.7 This assumption will have to stand until cosmic-scale mass spectrometers can be developed.

Assuming a periodic table in which each element is represented by a 1 cm by 2.5 cm rectangle, 40 rows of 32 elements will take up one meter of space. At this scale, a periodic table incorporating element 1056 would need to be 7.82 × 1052 meters long. This is problematic, because 7.82 × 1052 meters is about 1037 lightyears, and the universe is currently estimated span a mere 93 billion lightyears. As such, the new periodic table would be a quadrillion times larger than the observable universe.

With the admin out of the way, it is now time to speculate about the chemical properties of the new element. At first, this might seem like your dentist asking you if you’re free at 3:15 on a Thursday afternoon in 2057, but the periodic table is more organised than your calendar.

Being in group 10, we might expect element 1056 to predominantly exhibit 2+ and 4+ oxidation states, and to participate in carbon-carbon cross- coupling reactions. This is unlikely however, because astronomical observations of neutron stars indicate that they do not behave like conventional atoms.

To appropriately study this exciting new branch of astrochemistry the authors have formed a new research institute the Centre for Unstable Neutron Transient Structures (CUNTS). This new institute comprises of two research groups the Baryonic Investigation Group (aka BIG CUNTS) and the Baryonic And Dark Matter Focus (aka BADMF CUNTS). We’re very proud that the exceptional nature of this research group is already being recognised with Amnesty International awarding CUNTS the 2024 Most Inappropriate and Offensive Acronym Award.While pleased to receive international recognition we have not been able to identify any offensive acronym usage and have invited Amnesty International to come and view our Award of Registered Sociopaths Equity (ARSE).

To experimentally verify this hypothesis, we proposed to send chemists to RX J1856.5−3754, but the ARC rejected our grant.

Finally, we considered the nuclear stability of our new element. Rex is radioactive in the literal sense because it emits radio waves.

We hope this paper will prompt someone to go to RX J1856.5−3754 and count its protons, so we can confirm exactly which element it is.

We thank the management of the Alien-Life Molestation Array (ALMA) for allowing us to piss around with their telescopes, while they were having lunch.

That shit almost made me piss myself from laughing.

Of course there is a relevant xkcd

Newpipe works just fine (Germany)

Bring A shrubbery

I absolutely can’t.

That pug looks like he just wants to die

Seriously, what is that Film called? I have seen so many excerpts from it, but still dont know the name.

I have also heard the story, that the earth is in fact a sphere, but the rest of it is covered in ice also known as the antarctica

Lead is good for blocking alpha and beta radiation, but does not do that much against gamma, which was the main radiation he received, so yeah. Probably would not have saved him.

Porn addiction is as real as any other addiction, however it is not like you are getting hooked on porn after seeing one titty for a single frame.
