I resent how this question implies I ever had faith in humanity.

It’s almost as if LLMs don’t (or can’t) actually give a shit about humans or whether they exist.

Maybe it means the kinetic energy of the wind, which I believe scales against its velocity-squared?

XKCD-it. Got it.

That’d be a great TV show plot…but I’m not really a fan of violence. I’d be more interested in rendering them unusable, or spoofing them into making loud fart noises or letting out a loud wolf whistle everytime someone else walks by. Like I said, I don’t know, nor do I much care, what kinds of things the glasses do…but I imagine theres some kind of screen the user can watch, so maybe forcing them to view something annoying could be another viable spoof.

Pretty hard. Unfortunately my aim is shit.

I know next to nothing about the glasses, but would they be vulnerable to anything the Flipper Zero is capable of doing?

I for one am looking forward to the robit takeover. I think the world will probably become a safer and more pleasant place overall. Maybe there will even be some humans left over for zoo exhibits for robit entertainment.

Very Michigan-centric, but Alexis Dahl is wonderful, meshing history and science.

Just for decoration

My only knowledge of WWII comes from Saving Private Ryan, Pearl Harbor, Schindler’s List, Conspiracy, Enemy at the Gates, Midway, Memphis Belle, Das Boot, Valkyrie, and Band of Brothers. In NONE of those historical accounts is this story told. It’s probably covered in that Inglourioueaus Basteards documentary, which I still have yet to see.

But is a surface covered with liquid gallium also considered wetted? Or liquid bromine? All I know is oil oils things, and cannot easily be made wet.

This is why I hate all the superhero movies of the past 20 years. Their ubiquity has made people subconsciously believe someone else out there with super powers will come to save the day, so it’s okay to continue sitting back helplessly and waiting.

Only if astrophage shows up to ruin/save the day.

I was about to pedantically attack the term “underage kids,” but then I realized how many juvenile adults there are out there and decided it was valid.

Maybe Andromeda is coming to save us. Isn’t that what The Andromeda Strain was all about?

TheFacebookMeta: We Suck and We Know It. Now give us money.

I can’t believe you would insult the noble giraffe species with such an insensitive comment.

Why We Sleep by Dr. Matthew Walker.

Fascinating book all about what sleep is and the reasons every living thing on earth does/needs it in some way or another.

Gut by Guilia Enders.

Intriguing journey from mouth to anus, showcasing the functions performed to sustain life by some of the body’s most underrated organs. Also discusses some of the most common ailments and their effects (but also causes, and in some cases their treatments/cures).

Immune by Philipp Dettmer.

A wonderful introduction to how the body’s immune system performs its job…or doesn’t, in some unfortunate circumstances.

All three books are written for the lay person who wants/needs an accessible introduction to these complex systems affecting health and well-being.
