octoperson,

If you use youtube on a mobile app rather than a browser, it doesn’t have an address bar

octoperson,

Can anyone say the s and the th in Isthmus? It’s making my tongue feel funny.

octoperson,

If you put a ! In front of the link, like this;
![alt text](https://blahblahblah)

It should show inline that’s the neat part, you don’t

octoperson,

You have the power to stop time.
🐵🐾 It stops for you, too.

octoperson,

May be a special interest? I don’t know if there’s a clear cut distinction, or where it would be, or if it’s even useful to make one.

octoperson,

But then they don’t use PhD’s preferred pronouns to refer to PhD in the tweet 😔

octoperson,

Haha JavaScript am I right? 💀💀💀

octoperson,

I lived in a city, had occasional need for a car. A car club would have been ideal. Don’t need to spend thousands on a car upfront, don’t need to deal with maintenance, don’t need to secure parking.

Problem? The only car club in town was called whizzgo. Like, a toddler word for urination. Written on all the cars in big colourful letters. No thanks.

octoperson,

Getting XCom flashbacks. I’d set up a breach team on the door, and send the rest of the squad round and up that drainpipe so they can drop down from the roof. But best go around the back of the cars so as not to activate through the window.

octoperson,

Yeah but in the process it’ll scour the surface off the earth so it’s not all bad news

octoperson,

Portuguese is the same but has no inverted question mark, and sometimes it’s mighty annoying,

¿What if you just used them anyway?
¡Problem solved!

octoperson,

🙃 me gusta ☺️

octoperson,

HBO MBERGUY

Along with a radical change in leadership and content.

octoperson,

Brazil & 1984 are thematically closer than probably any other pair on the chart, yet they’re shown to not intersect. I question the methodology.

octoperson,

There was an episode of Homeland, where they hired a graffiti artist to paint some Arabic language slogans as set dressing. The slogans the artist chose? “Homeland is racist”, “Homeland is a joke, and it didn’t make us laugh”, “”, “Homeland is NOT a series”, “The situation is not to be trusted”, “This show does not represent the views of the artists”

octoperson,

Hello!

Your link is to pixel.mamutut.space/p/…/621370665154999687 which is not actually the picture, but a web page that includes the picture (plus some other elements). Some web pages include metadata that lets services like Lemmy pull out the relevant image, but that isn’t present or isn’t working correctly here, so we don’t see the picture.

If you click the picture at your link, it takes you to the picture itself at …mamutut.space/…/Pu8IxA7M4OKDSRYvr01WzyNJEwv0IkEV… . If you replace the URL in your post with this one, it should work as you expect.

octoperson,

Oh no! I knew this would be controversial.

octoperson,

Enough with that! You can’t question the trolley situation, it’s been like this for generations. Get on board. We have flags!

octoperson,

The cat is moving in a circle, so it has a centripetal acceleration and a centripetal force. At the apex of the loop, that force is the sum of gravity, and resistance from the track. The track force is greater than or equal to zero, so acceleration due to gravity is less than or equal to the total centripetal acceleration.

g ≤ v²/r
So,
r ≤ v²/g

Taking top speed of a cat as 8.278m/s (from Wolfram Alpha), and g on earth as 9.81m/s², this gives us r ≤ 6.99m. So long as the cat can maintain its top speed all around the loop, it can successfully do a loop of up to 14 meters diameter. This is a lot bigger than I expected, to the extent that I suspect some flaw in my reasoning.

octoperson,

Good point. It has zero contact force at the apex, so 14m is an upper bound on possible cat-loops.

octoperson,

Did anyone else learn that eggs are dairy products? (Meaning, the word ‘dairy’ encompasses both eggs and milk. Not that eggs are somehow produced by cows)
