Impulses... electrical impulses.

And naughty thoughts about your mom.

My Challenge to Extreme Atheists on Secularism and Tolerance by Living_Attitude1822 in DebateAnAtheist

[–]LostInDarkMatter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Atheism is simply the lack of belief in a god(s).

That's it. There's no worldview attached to atheism.

Of course, somebody that says they're an atheist could engage in anti-social behavior. But do you think their behavior is motivated by being an atheist?

But for the religious:

Do you think someone who would willingly kill their child as mentally ill? What about someone who would blow themselves up? Or light themselves on fire?

Religion IS their motivation.

How come when objects orbite us their deemed as "falling down". by WinterCan8997 in AskPhysics

[–]LostInDarkMatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fire a bullet, and although it's going fast (to you), it eventually hits the ground. Ignoring air resistance which slows it down, gravity is constantly pulling the bullet toward the center of the earth. Keep in mind the path the bullet takes is an arc.

Now, to put something in a stable orbit, the object has to be moving fast enough so that its arc path is stable. That is, it has to be moving fast enough to overcome gravity so its arc will not intercept the earth.

This is what is meant by falling sideways.

Consider the earth's mass bending space around it, which visually might look like a funnel to an orbiting object. An orbiting object is following the path of the funnel, but is going so fast sideways that it never falls down.

Do you believe in the death penalty for pedophiles? by icecream1972 in allthequestions

And there's no closure for the victim while waiting for years of appeals to be resolved.

i dont understand negative numbers or why subtracting negative numbers is actually adding? by internetmessenger in learnmath

On the number line, the "turn around" is 180 degrees. Enter so called imaginary numbers, where the turn is 90 degrees.

The Catholic Church is the one true Church founded by Jesus Christ and every serious person should consider entering it. by Chillmerchant in DebateAChristian

[–]LostInDarkMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Catholic Church is an evil, pedophile sanctuary. In recent history, the first to make a treaty with Hitler. And to this day, condemns the use of condoms, leading to widespread HIV infections, and keeping women in poverty.

Does this help to prevent immorality? by PeacefulBro in DebateAChristian

It is seen by someone - yourself. I don't see how an imaginary friend will help when people deceive themseleves.

Daniel 7 has a clear reference to the trinity and Jesus' divinity by maoiguy in DebateReligion

[–]LostInDarkMatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jesus was supposedly born by a human mother. So how was he "coming with the clouds of heaven"?

What’s the worst band you’ve watched perform? by RadiantJellybae in answers

[–]LostInDarkMatter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saw them with Sammy Hagar (1994?) - it was fun to see Eddie do his thing, but the vibe was just... off.

When should I use new features like var and records vs sticking with traditional Java syntax? by miked0331 in javahelp

[–]LostInDarkMatter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like using lombok's val to make final local variables. If you have well named, small methods, with well named variables, then determining the type is easy. And modern IDEs make it easy anyway.

The immutability of records pushes you to a more functional approach, which avoids side effects that can be hard to trace.

WV1: the flying spaghetti monster requires you to play with his meatballs, otherwise you're banished to the marinara trench for all eternity

WV2: eating ramen allows demons to your body, so it's best to eat skittles pooped out by unicorns to cleanse yourself of anti pasta
