This might be heresy, but I feel like saying that "science isn't truth, it's the search for truth", and "if you disagree it's not a disagreement, you're just wrong" is internally inconsistent.

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, for mining, by doing what the meme says (I don't know what "fossilized algae" refers to, but it makes the nitro not go boom, when it really wants to boom). After seeing what it was eventually used for (bombs. Lots and lots of bombs) he regretted ever making it. He set up the Nobel Peace Prize as a result, to try and even the scales a bit, so to speak

Girl on the left is an elf from an anime. "Soon" for her may be... A decade or so? No time at all, really

I don't think it was in the 2003 version, so it might matter which version you watched. But it was the notes Ed deciphered which let him know that Philosophers Stones are made of people

Do both. Then the US is a spider. Or maybe a funky crab?

whats up with that?

I just checked. The comment section of that video really is nothing but anti-Semitic comments, with a Kirby coat of paint. Enjoy, I guess? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEZQ00OOxY

Sorry, anime is "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End", if you're interested. Frieren is the elf.

The Writers Strike Is Over: WGA Votes to Lift Strike Order After 148 Days
Reply in thread
While that may be true, they are probably also weighing that this has been a long strike. I don't know about you, but if I had to go 100+ days without working, my finances would be a wreck. Reality is, people gotta eat

Nothing to see here, right?

Anon goes to summer camp
Heh... I had a friend in college with this. He said it worked great to hold cereal bowls, but at least he used a bowl :P

The word Unicorn is uni-corn, as in one corn(horn).
Napoleon wears a bicorn hat. Pirates wear tricorns. Dunces wear unicorns.

I think in this case the meaning is already effectively watered down. At this point it'd probably be easier to just give up and make a new term for pedophilia that is just for pre adolescents, and let pedophilia be the term for all "under age of consent" stuff (as is the current modern usage).

Law of Attraction is just a modern-day religion
To all the people downvoting: "Law of Attraction" is not a lay person's way of saying "Law of Gravity".
It's the belief online that "if I give off good vibes, good vibes will be attracted back to me. You know, because everything is, like, made up of vibrating strings, and stuff" (that last bit is just the connection to String theory OP mentioned)
OP is not endorsing these beliefs, just observing them.

Steam is now refunding Ghost of Tsushima for people in affected countries.
Reply in thread
It sounds to me like you are talking about what Steam is doing, with the geolocking and refunds (not fraud), while the other person is talking about what Sony is doing, with adding PSN requirements after the fact (maybe fraud?).

The moment
In this moment, I am not euphoric. Not because of any phony god's cursing. But because, I am englightened by my intelligence.

The US was late to WW1 and WW2. Trump apparently wants to go 3 for 3.(when he invites Putin to attack NATO members who "don't pay")
Sorry, American here. Did WW3 start and I missed it? Is it Ukraine/Russia? Israel/Palestine? Horrible though they are, they seem pretty contained this far, unless something new happened I haven't seen anything about.

The dark matter profile of the Milky Way inferred from its circular velocity curve
Reply in thread
The Milky Way is spinning. It's spinning wrong based on the stuff we see. So, scientists think there must be stuff we can't see making it spin that way. Some scientists have drawn a picture of what it would look like if we could see the stuff.
