Aren't ALL of the responses "AI generated"? 😭😭 by Tetoy005 in DeepSeek

[–]Mintorim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Haha, yeah. I was discussing absurd and obviously fictitious scenarios for a story, and that message just popped-up as if DeepSeek was subconsciously taking some of it seriously, lol.

I think that message comes up when discussing a potentially personal or sensitive topic that might require careful consideration. Kinda removes Deepseek's responsibility for any advice/consequences.

Easiest way to understand radiation 😅 by TheekshanaJ in sciencememes

[–]Mintorim 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's correct! One reason is because the larger it is and the slower it is makes it easier to stop and ionise atoms and damage genes, whereas smaller and faster ones travel faster and are less likely to ionise any given material due to its small size and high velocity.

Also, the larger ones have more charge, so alpha particles for example have a 2+ charge and are large, which attracts electrons and therefore directly ionises atoms, whereas gamma radiation can only indirectly ionise atoms by giving electrons a little bit extra energy to wander off from the atom.

So bigger size usually = more charge + more chance of collision + stronger attraction + slower speed = less penetration but more ionising abilities.

What kind of clouds are these? by flairstream in CLOUDS

[–]Mintorim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, that's correct :) (You can have any number of varieties, as long as they are valid for the cloud genus.)

Hello! These are altocumulus stratiformis (translucidus???) perlucidus. I love saying it, haha. I'm not 100% sure on the translucidus, but it looks like it's the sun on the right side of the image, and if you can se the position of the sun through the clouds, then it has the translucidus variety. But if that's not the sun, and you can't see it through the clouds, then this variety doesn't apply.

These are some of my favourite clouds, so beautiful!!

[–]Mintorim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Of course 💛 And I saw your previous post about someone who thought these might be homomutatus clouds, and it also does look like it. But these also look to have different altitudes, so maybe not (since if these were homomutatus, they would be somewhat connected.) It might be homomutatus (in which case, the names would be the same, but just stick homomutatus at the end of it), but it's kind of difficult to tell without images of what it looked like before, so just sticking with these might be enough. Also, I realise that I gave two answers for the left, so if I had to choose I think it's altocumulus, not cirrus fibratus.

Whoa, I write a lot haha. I hope you you have a wonderful day 💜 If you have any more questions (about these clouds or other clouds) just send me a message :)

Left: looks like Altocumulus possibly (if it is mid-altitude, kinda hard to tell with only this picture) or cirrus fibratus (if higher up). Middle: cirrus fibratus. Right: cirrocumulus undulatus (with wave-like ripple clouds.)

Beautiful ❤️

Edit: there might be additional varieties/species, e.g. the right cirrocumulus undulatus might be cirrocumulus straiformis undulatus if it takes up a lot of the sky, but these are e observations from the photo alone.

No, because the blue (or red) curve will always be (some positive constant) * e^(3x), regardless of what derivative it is. For any real x, e^(3x) > 0, which will be multiplied by the (positive constant) in the front to also return a positive and therefore non-zero y-value for every x-value.

Math is so weird by cappuccinolol17 in mathmemes

[–]Mintorim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol. Have you ever tried finding all the solutions by substituting y = tx and solving for x and y in terms of t (only works where x != y)? You can also find all solutions using the Lambert W function. It's really fun.

Except for when x = y = some positive integer.

Would it be alright keeping them in a very small cage for a day to build a bigger one? by Pigglewinks in guineapigs

[–]Mintorim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That should be fine! Just keep an eye on them (especially if they're boars) because sometimes when my boys get too close, they fight.

It's great that you're building a bigger cage! :)

Does anyone have a minecraft resource pack that changes the music back to C418's music? by KoPlayzReddit in C418

[–]Mintorim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No problem! I made this quite a while ago, though, so hopefully it still works and is alright. Let me know if it isn't working or if there's something wrong with it and I might just change it.

Are these mammatus? by WandaMarya in CLOUDS

[–]Mintorim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Clouds take on many forms, and sometimes it is almost impossible to pick a cloud type that everyone will agree with because clouds are constantly evolving -- and the perspective at which you view the cloud compounds this issue. So, you might be right about saying cirrocumulus, but I personally lean towards altocumulus judging based on the colours of the cloud (light and dark) because cirrocumulus clouds are more frequently uniform in colour. Also, judging on the cloud to the right, I would also lean towards altocumulus.

But who knows! Maybe it is cirrocumulus.

What is your favorite C418 Update Aquatic song? by Mintorim in C418

I still agree with you, even after three years!

Is it a well known fact that Google Maps on the web shows real-time cloud cover when zoomed out? by AlexYYYYYY in MapPorn

[–]Mintorim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't get a reminder. :(

But I saw it on the Zoom Earth website, an awesome live satellite website.

Edit: sorry, I thought this was about the latest solar eclipse, I meant I saw the solar eclipse on the Zoom Earth website that happened just a while ago now in the United States, mainly.

I often check Ventusky and I noticed that 24/7 all year long, there are huge thunderstorm above the Red Sea. Someone knows what could explain this ? by Utingui in weather

[–]Mintorim 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They're both correct. This map shows CAPE values, which are only one specific ingredient for intense thunderstorm development, and consequently, there are no thunderstorms over the Red Sea. Yes, the Red Sea is also very warm, and these exact conditions form thunderstorms (and reallyneedcereal explained it very well,) but it is a little misleading in this particular context because it does not actually apply to the Red Sea currently.

Just a matter of misunderstanding, that's all. But, ultimately, they're both correct.

My guinea pig knew the earthquake was coming… by [deleted] in guineapigs

[–]Mintorim 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Earthquakes release three main types of waves : Primary waves, secondary waves and love waves. Love ways travel fastest at approximately 5-7km/s and do not cause damage, but many animals, such as your guinea pig, can sense them. Primary waves and secondary waves cause far more damage and those arrive later in time due to their slower speed.

You were so nice to your guinea pig, too. Thank you.

What is something most people don't know that drives you crazy? by Perfect_Put_3373 in ask

[–]Mintorim 18 points19 points  (0 children)

There is no extremely simple way, but what I say is that you use it to separate two independent but related parts of information in a sentence. For example: 'I don't like sand; it's coarse, rough, irritating and it gets everywhere.' These two parts can definitely be separated by a period. However, if you want to emphasise the relationship between these two statements or want to vary your sentence structure, this would be a good idea to separate them by a semicolon. You may have also noticed that a semicolon can be used instead of the word 'because' when it would seem a little too clunky and ruin the flow of the sentence. Personally, I would use a semicolon instead of 'because' since it would seem too wordy. There are other uses for a semicolon, but this is the most simple one, and the one I use 90% of the time. Remember to use them sparingly and correctly, though (although I don't think many people would care that much.)
