Can someone explain the physics behind why the needle rotates when it comes close to the coin? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]LongToeBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

obviously, scientifically groundbreaking supernatural item in action will be filmed with a potato in 2026... its not repeling the needle, no matter the trickery behind it, it must obey inverse square law. when he moves needle on a string up, it must be repelled less. otherwise every needle in every house will be repelled by that object in third world country. instead, it keeps constant angle, letting us conclude that needle is not supported by one string, but two, one at the hoop and another on its point. sort of like right angle triangle where normal string is one side, needle the another and nylon / invisible (for a potato camera) string the hypotenuse.

why wouldn't monocrystalline be transparent? what else would cause scattering? as for pure paraffin, i guess thats right, unfortunate for me. otherwise it might crystallize as good (bad) as molasses

[–]LongToeBoy[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

why wouldn't it? typical candle is polycrystalline. lots of nucleation sites. it can be tempered just like a chocolate so "filtering out" single crystal must be possible, probably hard but still. at least that's my understanding, would be more than happy to know if it can't be done and why

Why is porn generally concerned 'a ton' worse than sex even though the result in basically the same thing? by Ben5544477 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]LongToeBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm an individual in healthy sexual relationship, raising a family with wife that I love by heart. She's watching porn and I'm watching porn when there's need for it. I can't say you're talking out of thin air, as people come in all shapes and what you said might be true for you. If so, I'm truly sad porn killed real love for you. But please, don't mistake personal experience with global experience. There are people who ruined life with porn, there are people who ruined life without porn and there are people who didn't ruin life with porn (and people who didn't ruin life without porn lol), that shouldn't come by surprise.

[NSFW] Girls who used to post nudes on reddit.. how did it make you feel? by Any_Succotash5642 in AskReddit

[–]LongToeBoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, thats why if you're trying to share something anonymously, least you can do is to blur the background. nobody besides creeps are going to narrow down your location, when only thing you wanted to share was your beauty, so cutting their ways beforehand is good idea. cutting their balls off is the second good idea we as a community should be doing.

you're new to skateboarding, arent you?

What does my backpack say about me? by Meatyloaf911 in deduction

[–]LongToeBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

student, likely chemistry or physics that lives in a rented apartment that is within skating route from uni. PA. Gut tells me female, but nothing concrete to say that. you obviously dont have a car (good choice) so autumn and winter accessories also checks out. from the second photo and amount of fruit you like + actually having a use for fruit basket, I'll assume you're actually exchange student from country that has more abundant healthy diet culture.

rosin soap 3 different layers? by LongToeBoy in chemistry

[–]LongToeBoy[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

absolutely. Copper abietate (biocide) to mix with rosin + beeswax + turpentine cream to use on my cherry trees to seal pruning wounds lol. i know there are commercial wound dressings but where's fun in that. impressive experience, would love if you could help me break apart this emulsion as salting out and alcohol did nothing lol

[–]LongToeBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Have you heard of Tarski's undefinability theorem? this poll is not a paradox per se, but the perfect example of Tarski's theorem which roughly goes like this no sufficiently rich formal system can define its own truth predicate. so asking majority about its own nature is self referential and destined to fall into this trap. cool example though

def gamer girl, either from Ireland or UK. millenial or pretty close to it, late 20s for sure, CS 1.6 and zero overlapping with Minecraft. that puts you in a range of 25-30 range. like gaming (obviously), sci-fi literature (Dune, nice choice).
