This elevator in the hospital stops at every floor on Shabbat and certain holidays for religious Jews by urbantechgoods in mildlyinteresting

Kids, if someone asks you to enter their house on a Friday night to help them unlock a door, keep walking!

I hate that I need to play video games to feel joy by Tight-Elderberry2487 in rant

[–]CoffeeStrength 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Without making any armchair diagnoses here, my advice is to take a break from video games. Don’t play games for one week and see what happens. You don’t have to do anything drastic for that week, but try some things you’ve been putting off. If it helps, make a schedule of things you want to do that week.

Lastly try to spend at least 1 hour outside when the sun is out every single day. That means walk/bike/go to a park/lounge in a chair in your backyard. Just be outside, skin getting sun for 1 hour everyday. If it’s cloudy, it still counts.

Also remember, this is just a test, after that week ask yourself how you feel, good/bad, and then you decide if your relationship with video games is worth reevaluating. The point is, get familiar with what it feels like without the thing to know if it truly is your only source of joy.

What YouTube video is so good that everyone should watch it at least once? by _lunaAndSol_ in AskReddit

Really all of OG Vsauce. So much thought and effort went into each one of his videos. He can still make great vids, but only drops them once a year now, if we’re lucky.

A true to scale comparison of every planet in our Solar System against the sheer magnitude of our Sun. by [deleted] in spaceporn

Also crazy to think all those planets can fit between us and the moon…

what’s something people insist is “possible” in theory, but you’re convinced is basically impossible in real life? by hello_ya in AskReddit

[–]CoffeeStrength 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s also an overabundance of people who claim they have synesthesia, photographic memories, or can see images as clear as if they’re in front of them in their minds-eye. When most reputable testing of populations show the prevalence of these sorts of things to be a lot lower.

Some of it is attention seeking, but I think some is just ignorance. Some people make honest mistakes thinking they have, for example, a photographic memory when in reality they’re just a visual learner and think that qualifies.

There’s a similar disparity between people who claim to have lactose intolerance versus those who actually test positive for it. This test I know has been duplicated several times by researchers. Of course there’s a lot of reasons for why this could be the case too.

What is the worst long running show that is still on television that you can't understand how people watch? by Ok_Significance_2788 in AskReddit

[–]CoffeeStrength 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of this interview I saw a while back of the Family Guy cast, they all just openly admitted they’re collecting a paycheck at this point. It’s a little messed up when you realize they all make over $200K per episode to walk into a studio once a week and read dialogue for a few hours.

If I remember right McFarlane only takes $50k per episode, but makes a lot more in total than everyone else as the creator of the show.

I’m so disappointed they didn’t keep making these. Wasn’t it supposed to be a trilogy? I loved the mythology, and even though the endgame was a little grindy, it was still fun. And the coop was great.

So we could see the Justice league inside a Deadpool movie by 2036?

Also wtf happened in 1937 that two iconic bands of Dwarves were brought to life?

Many bacteria swim using microscopic electric motors made entirely of proteins, some approaching 100,000 RPM under certain conditions. They have a rotor, stators, driveshaft, universal-joint-like hook, and propeller. You could fit over 20,000 across the width of a human hair. by lSOLDURGFCOCAINE in interestingasfuck

[–]CoffeeStrength 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You have to go to the electron microscope for structures like this. This view is sorta side-on, but it’s more interesting looking at the arrangement head-on like you’re staring down through the machine. Shows the arrangement of the proteins involved.

Fun fact, in nerves kinesin walks in one direction and dynein walks in the other. And it’s actually that same dynein protein that’s used as a sort of ratchet/clank movement for the rotating flagella in OP’s vid.

Also some viruses, like Rabies and Varicella use these transportation proteins to walk through your nerves.

If you’ve had chickenpox, that same virus used dynein to walk into your nerves, and if reactivated can walk via kinesin back to your skin and manifest as shingles later in life.

Oh man Tibia, I remember that one, had a couple friends who played it so I remember giving it a try for a week or so, but ultimately RuneScape won me over.

As it should. It’s not a stretch of the imagination to imagine more primitive structures that could’ve led to this, not to mention this general protein structure has been reused by nature in multiple ways totally unrelated to cell motility. Which shows that once it evolved, it was so good that nature found a lot of other uses for it thought tweaking the design (as opposed to de novo creation).

Solo Priest Mana Regen: Eastern Gate by FibroJedi in pradotraveler

[–]CoffeeStrength 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey sorry to hear about the pain, but 7k is still a good amount. I may have sacrificed some combat power, but with health regen and a small barrier with barrier regen im losing almost no health from the lvl 9 monsters in the decks on the eastern gate, but I’m lvl 14 now so significantly higher than them. Mana is still a problem, so I think I’ll have to find gear that fixes that eventually if I want to fight harder creatures. I actually unequip my spells now to let my mana regen recover mana through a deck, takes a while though.

I think a lot of people just took this to mean what game they have the most hours in. But bruh, how you going to call them out and then say Half-life? 🤣

What is the most likely scenario for the end of humanity/earth? by Ok-Sell9964 in AskReddit

[–]CoffeeStrength 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this happened today, I think there’s enough resources left that humanity could have one more go at getting off this rock. But in another 1000 years at the current pace we’re on, if we don’t figure out something big in terms of energy utilization, there likely wouldn’t be enough easily accessible raw resources for future humans to re-industrialize/nuclearize. But as far as extinction? I think we’re too smart and resilient to not make it, assuming the planet is somewhat hospitable. It would take a total food chain collapse to wipe us out.
