The stick would only move at the speed of sound. Or the speed the molecules can push against each other, which is the speed of sound in that material.

Science Fiction@lemmy.world•What SF books did you enjoy the most in 2024?
3·1 year agoI read (listened to) some in the series Expeditionary Force by Craig Alanson. It’s a space opera, action/comedy. I love the whole series and I’ve listened to it multiple times already.
Others have already mentioned but I’ve also greatly enjoyed Bobiverse and would probably listen to it again this coming year.

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the funniest belief you had when you were a child ?
6·1 year agoI used to think a car direction indicator was a GPS guiding system, and not manually operated.
Humans are the only mammals with boobs that stay “inflated” without childbirth or breastfeeding involved.
The theory is that it’s an evolutionary selection, and the hypothesis is it’s an aesthetic choice that keeps reinforcing itself (a positive feedback loop) and now it’s HotWired in our brains.
The way i personally see it though, just like how i like certain types of food without a proper explanation to why, i also like boobs.
There’s also the idea it’s connected to being breastfed as a baby which brings back all those warm and safety feelings with them. That doesn’t explain why most women (I speculate) aren’t as into boobs as the average guy. That said, I’ve met multiple women, some straight,who also found boobs very fascinating. So maybe they get the same warm and safety feelings minus the sexual attraction?

Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What are some adulting life hacks that you think others could benefit by learning about them?
56·1 year agoExcept for special cases, you don’t actually have to do a task fully. You can pick at it as you go.
For example, i almost never do all the dishes at once. I just do 1-2 when i pass by the kitchen and i have a minute or two to spare. Without even realizing it or barely feel the energy or the time used, the task is either done or it is much smaller and more manageable.
This can apply to most adulting tasks by my experience.

I don’t like to say I quit, more like expanded my belief system to become a human belief system, and not exclusive to a cultural belief system.
I traveled outside my very conservative and religious country, met many different people, learned about a lot of different cultures, and their beliefs. It made me see how “limited” one type of faith can be. How blind I was to the human experiences.
So now, basically, I don’t believe there’s one answer to rule them all. And that’s the biggest change I went through outside of the religion i was raised on.
