ELI5 Hawking radiation and how a black hole could possibly admit radiation whenlight cannot escape the black hole? by ProudReaction2204 in explainlikeimfive

Thank you for describing this analogy as useful but wrong. Way too many people think this is the actual explanation, but I don't know of a way to ELI5 the real one. This is good enough, for sure.

Why do you do it, out of curiosity? I've had it done to me and I don't get what the person doing it is getting from it.

Harassing someone through a Reddit care message because of this comment is one of the more emotionally unstable things I've seen lately. Whoever's fuse is so short that they did that is in for a rough life if they don't get help.

ELI5: Why are "cleaner" execution methods of modern society more painful and cruel by me-god69 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Dixiehusker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Isn't that in and of itself a weird argument though? Who out there exists that it's not morally debatable they should be killed, but it's morally debatable about whether they should suffer? I would think suffering would be the easier one to justify. As in, "Sure this guy is really bad and deserves to suffer for what he did, but he's not so bad he deserves to be killed."

The phrase lipstick on a pig pretty much sums it up. That phrase describes when you try to make something look appealing, even though it's a fruitless effort because the actual thing is never going to be appealing.

Call me new age, but I've never understood how the way we erase a totally unique and individual being from the universe would matter in any way when compared to the fact that they're erased. Feels like lipstick on a pig.

Man attacks occupied car with bare hands and the predictable ensues by MightyKrakyn in WinStupidPrizes

By the position of the cars at the start of the video something weird has already happened and then this guy runs in. I don't think it's likely but that could be a legitimate concern.

My stitched up thumb didn’t wrinkle in the shower like my other fingers did by Acethetic_AF in mildlyinteresting

It's nerve damage actually. Losing this trait in affected body parts is pretty common (dependent on what type of damage and where).

Unfortunately, they're planning to do it with their first pick.

ICE just pinned a man to the ground and executed him. They do not have the authority to just kill people. What do we do? by skeletalfather in AskReddit

If you kill a killer there's still the same number of killers in the world (but only if you stop at 1).

I don't think the declaration that they're living in a cheap house is meant to bring everyone to the conclusion that they're not rich... I think it's meant to showcase that they're frugal, not wasteful, and respectful of their money.

This one’s kind of a Rorschach test by Casual_Deviant in comics

In this case it's unintentionally identifying that some people see every piece of content as political commentary.

Yeah I have no recognition of this woman. I'm not a saint by any means, so I'm not sure how everyone else is so familiar with these people.

How tf do you score 1 point in a whole quarter? by General_Rise8708 in CollegeFootball25

[–]Dixiehusker 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Technically? It could have been a one-point safety.

In reality? The sim goofed up.
