The list of things I have seen now contains everything!

A new colour of cat has been discovered in c/[email protected]
[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

This new cat color was detected around 5 megaparsecs distance from the Milky Way, in the general direction of the Leo constellation, using the Very Large Cat Ear Antenna Array at the 21 cm wavelength of the microwave part of the spectrum.

Is there a way to put NIN into both extremes of Angry and Horny?

The bearcat!

Yes, in the 1980s we downloaded games from the radio in c/[email protected]

WiFi being in the microwave range of the spectrum, surely it packs information much more densely and efficiently than lower wavelength frequencies like radio ever can.
But then WiFi can't turn a goddamned corner and into another room ten yards away.

Refusal to Ease Sanctions Shows EU Doesn't Want Peace, Kremlin Says in c/[email protected]

Refusal to cancel attacks on Ukraine and democracies worldwide shows kremlin does not want peace.

Have you ever noticed that you never see Clark Table and Supertable in the same room at the same time?

Also lined with non-voting idiots who pout narcissistically, bOtH pArTiEs ArE tHe SaMe LoL aMiRiTe, who fancy themselves "informed" because they read some online garbage and never bothered to ask who was pushing that garbage.

The day I first gripped a #5, had there been clickbait thumbnails back then, mine would have read:

You wanna piss 'em off a little bit more, vain and superficial creatures that they are?
Stop calling it "America", start calling it "United States", with the understanding that America is a continent and not a country.

I dunno... what do YOU think it is?

10
Regarding the arrow of time, is there any correlation or study between it and music? As in: it sounds "right" when played in one direction, but "weird" when played backwards. (lemmy.world)
17
If the universe was stationary (not expanding), how far away was the Cosmic Microwave Background (as we detect it today) when it was emitted? (lemmy.world)
42
If I place a prism on a ray of sunlight in a dark room as Newton did, but projected onto modern sensors, can it register microwaves and radio photons beyond the infrared? More in text inside... (lemmy.world)
 

If the answer is YES, a related follow-up question: if each visible color of the spectrum were to measure a centimeter in width, how far would I have to move the sensor from the red to detect the change from infrared to microwave, then to radio?

In the knowledge that Sir William Herschel discovered infrared by repeating Newton's experiment, but with a thermometer to measure the temperature of each component of the spectrum, and after placing the thermometer a bit to the side of the red light, in darkness, noticed quite by accident that the device would still register heat, therefore an invisible yet very real component of light was there, warming the thermometer.

9
Does anyone here know of a website or video, or at least sound files, of LIGO's black hole (or neutron star) chirps in slow and ultraslow playback speed? (lemmy.world)
 

Now I'm just being the curious layman here, but a Google/YouTube search proved fruitless.

14
Why is it that in every movie podcast, when they happen to mention actor RALPH Fiennes, always say RAY Fiennes? (lemmy.world)
 

It's one of those pet peeves that rub me the wrong way, and they all seem to do it, whether it's anywhere around The Ringer network, or the Earwolf network, or the Blank Check podcast to name a few, they always say "Ray" instead of "Ralph".

The man's real full name is Ralph Nathaniel Twisleton-Wykeham-Fiennes, quite a fancy mouthful, but not even a hint of "Ray" or "Raymond" in there. Did everyone in the podcasting world decide to pronounce his name wrong on purpose?

25
In particle decay, is there a difference when they say "average lifetime" vs "half life"? Also: in the Large Hadron Collider, how long does a particle collision event (or experiment) last? (lemmy.world)
60
What food or item/brand did you use to love, but isn't around anymore? (lemmy.world)
 

Me first: in the early 80s, I remember the Vons supermarket chain had their own brand of sour cream dip for potato chips, one flavor that people I know loved was fresh pismo clam, it still had chunks of clam meat in there. One day it got yanked from the shelves and I've never seen it again.

More recently, about a decade ago, Trader Joe's carried cheddar-and-horseradish potato chips, then one day they were gone.

I would love... LOVE... to dip those horseradish chips into that clam dip... sigh.

60
If the difference between electrons and positrons, or quarks and antiquarks, is having opposite charge, what's the difference between chargeless neutrinos and antineutrinos? (lemmy.world)
36
Are there any theoretical photon energies or frequencies above gamma rays, or below radio waves? (lemmy.world)
62
As imaginary numbers (square root is negative) are useful, is there any mathematical use for an imaginary number that, when multiplied by zero, gives a non-zero result? (lemmy.world)
167
Like Neo in The Matrix and "I know kung fu", what one ability would you choose to upload directly to your mind? (lemmy.world)
41
How long would it take for a supermassive black hole like Sag A* to emit a tablespoon of mass via Hawking Radiation? (lemmy.world)
 

In the same vein, what about a stellar-sized black hole like Cygnus X-1? At this size the rate of evaporation is quicker, right?
