Unlikely, the Andes are newer.

The sun isn’t massive enough to explode. It will just expand and get hotter, making Earth too hot to support life, and then burn out, making Earth too cold to support life. And even a supernova probably won’t destroy atoms. Most of our atoms will probably survive the ‘death’ of the sun.

Ehh, watching sports is fun (for some people).

Run over the sign?

In the real world, it can be a Tesla trap.

emergencyfood, to memes in Vegan food: The west vs India

Of course vegans can get enough protein from lentils, pulses etc. But it is easier for vegetarians because they can also consume dairy products.

emergencyfood, to science_memes in No, the natural log doesn’t distribute!!

Sometimes, two wrongs do make a right.

emergencyfood, to memes in Vegan food: The west vs India

Depends which part of India you mean. Telegu food is often very spicy. Bengali and Gujarati food is actually mostly sweet. Himalayan food is 99% bland and 1% volcano hot.

emergencyfood, to memes in Vegan food: The west vs India

30% of Indians are vegetarians, not vegans.

It depends. India does have some factory farms, mainly for beef. But many dairy cattle are kept by small farmers for whom the milk and meat are a supplement to whatever plants they grow. And these farmers usually belong to dairy co-operative societies like Amul, which do quality control and ensure that the animals are not abused too much. Also some Indian states ban or heavily restrict the slaughter of cattle (although in practise this just leads to them being abandoned or disappearing into the black market).

emergencyfood, to memes in Public Transit my beloved 😍

I live in a major city and frequently travel by bus and metro. I go to my hometown once a month or so, by train. Haven’t experienced these horrors (yet).

emergencyfood, to memes in Public Transit my beloved 😍

total strangers who can and will hurt you when you can ride the filthy, bedbug-ridden, urine-soaked train next to the crazy homeless guy jacking off right in front of you?

What post-apocalyptic hellscape do you live in? And here I was, thinking I live in a third-world country.

if you firmly believe that crystals vibrate on higher frequencies, but can’t describe what frequency amethyst vibrates at in hertz

I’m not a physicist, but I think crystals can vibrate at a fixed frequency? Isn’t that how quartz watches work?

emergencyfood, to memes in Double standards or something, I don't know...

I don’t think ideology has anything to do with the decision to keep quiet on Ukraine. India needs Russian fertiliser and oil, and does not want global wheat shortages that could raise the domestic price of food. So I don’t think the decision would have been different if the UPA was in power.

emergencyfood, to science_memes in Asking mathematicians about their proofs

Srinivasa Ramanujan was an Indian mathematician who worked on number theory, infinite series and analysis. He said that he would have dreams of drops of blood (a symbol of his village deity, the goddess Namagiri Thayar), followed by complex mathematical equations. Even with the help of his formally-trained friend GH Hardy, he was only able to prove a small fraction of his insights.

Gregori Perelman is a Russian mathematician best known for solving the Poincare conjecture. He posted his results on arXiv in 2002-03, but never published them in a journal and never accepted any prize or money. He has expressed dismay over the lack of ethics in research.

Anon is a /sci/ user who in 2011 proved the current lower bound of a superpermutation for any size greater than 2 (the Haruhi Problem). Their proof has been archived for posterity, but we don’t know anything more about them.
