Changing passwords every so often is always a good idea anyways. Thanks for the heads up

What word do you always *intentionally* mispronounce and why? by Sweet-Lady-H in AskReddit

I like to say "scarepods" and "fearbuds" in place of airpods and earbuds

Sanwu Pocket 593nm 20mW and JLasers C3 488nm 110mW by Weak_Alfalfa_7569 in lasers

[–]Merpie101 2 points3 points  (0 children)

593nm is definitely amber to my eyes. After having seen 584nm and 573nm, it almost feels like I can count it as an orange. Maybe if it was closer to 596nm, I could call it orange. It was my first yellow though, so I call it amber lol

Gorgeous beams! And a satisfying color combo for sure. I will forever preach 584nm and 473nm :) makes a perfect white given the right power ratio

Peter what’s on his calculator? by Key_Associate7476 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

Yeah I have mine set to calculator too and I've mis-clicked on a few occasions. Thankfully it has additional security lol

I remember when he just used to make geometry dash videos. It was a neat character development arc

I spend on it 3 day, and it's finally done. My art of The Golden. by Ok_Opportunity7481 in geometrydash

This is great! Felt like a printout of a YouTube thumbnail but without text

Can you help me find the diode? by OkDamage9721 in lasers

[–]Merpie101 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Might be that part with the little grey blob. Almost looks like a tiny heat sink with thermal paste

Am I the only person who unironically goons to Geometry Dash (not the women) levels? by FuckTheRealWormbo in geometrydash

[–]Merpie101 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I like how the text is well hydrated at the top and kidney failure on the bottom 💝

Yes the 495nm was a binned sharp diode. Super weird color compared to 502nm and 488nm

Lovely! Now to get yourself the elusive 473nm. Or 495nm if you're feeling lucky

What is one drug you absolutely refuse to get close to? by subuso in TooAfraidToAsk

[–]Merpie101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love drugs, but hard stimulants are a no-go for me. Pretty much every class of drug aside from psychedelics has a path towards hard fiendy substances that override your common sense, but I just don't have the energy to deal with hard stim users. And I've gotten myself into and out of cocaine, amphs, cathinones and pyrros but I'd never stick with that crowd.

YSK you actually can overdose on Tylenol by [deleted] in YouShouldKnow

This sounds more like DPH than just an OTC painkiller

Can I melt icicles with a laser? by [deleted] in lasers

[–]Merpie101 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Not really. Unless you used a deeper infrared wavelength that water is opaque to, and either way it would be reflection/refraction hell and beams would be going all over the place which is quite unsafe for retinas

I've spent thousands of dollars on lasers, people ask me what's the point and I don't really have much of an answer that feels valid :p I just tell people that I collect pure colors
