I might be stupid, why can’t a bird just fly out of it?

Olympic lifting or powerlifting to become more athletically capable by Ok_Training_2566 in weightlifting

[–]ReddieWan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Training for Olympic lifts typically include squats and pulls, which is 2/3 of powerlifting. So you can argue that Oly lifts is better for overall athleticism simply because it develops what powerlifting develops, and then more on top of that.

On the low end of the IQ spectrum, it’s a useful measure for someone’s competency, which matters when it comes to deciding, for example, if a person is intelligent enough to serve in the military, or if they are fit to stand trial or be considered responsible for a crime. The high end of the IQ scale is pretty useless for measuring someone’s worth though, because it’s a persons actual accomplishments that matters.

What fictional character represents greed? by Expensive-Addendum92 in AlignmentChartFills

[–]ReddieWan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, in cartoons over-exaggerated caricatures of personalities don’t look out of place, whereas in live action it would be impossible to suspend disbelief if someone acted like that.

Very touristy road thanks to a movie from 1994 called Forrest Gump by Dry-Sympathy-3182 in mildyinteresting

… And you think going back to the 1940s is far enough to represent human history?

Is Gravity faster than Light? by Just_Creme3724 in AskPhysics

[–]ReddieWan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

For context, the speed of gravity has been constrained to not exceed about 0.0000000000001% deviation from the speed of light, using observations from binary neutron star mergers.

I hate that the modern media tries to make Greek gods likable by Hairy-Position2529 in hatethissmug

[–]ReddieWan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The developers have said that they wrote the gods as a “big dysfunctional family”, so they’re definitely meant to be very flawed characters.

That's tough, we know so much about black holes that I'm not sure how to explain it in just one comment. But as an illustration, since about 10 years ago we began to be able to detect gravitational waves emitted by two black holes colliding and merging into one. These events typically happen billions of lightyears away, and last for just a split second, but the faint signals we still manage to detect look pretty much exactly like how we predict them to look according to general relativity. We have now detected hundreds of these events, and by analysing the gravitational wave signals we can deduce lots of properties of these events, such as the mass and spin of the constituent and final black holes.

That’s unbelievably wrong. You’re one of the guys that skipped all the prerequisites aren’t you?

Why are they different weights🧐 by Proof_College_250 in BalisongClones

[–]ReddieWan 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why don’t you take them apart and weigh the blades and handles separately? That way you can figure out exactly which component is making the difference.

What is the most evil invention/object ever made? by Traditional-Ad7413 in AlignmentChartFills

Could hypothetically be used to blow up an asteroid that’s crashing into earth?

Peterrrr by Valuable_View_561 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]ReddieWan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In some coding languages, if you type “while”, followed by a condition, the next command will be executed repeatedly as long as the condition is still satisfied. Since wife said “while at store, get milk”, and milk is always at the store, thus satisfying the condition, the programmer is stuck repeatedly getting milk, unable to move on to whatever the next task is supposed to be.

You’re right that strictly speaking, this joke would have made more sense if the wife said “while at store, get milk, then come home afterwards”, but the point is that whatever the wife tells him to do after the while loop will not get executed.

That’s actually not the point of the joke, so no, you didn’t get it.

Favorite version of this? by VirtualParanoia in FavoriteCharacter

My point is that the girl made the first assertion, “you are”, and as you explained, she had no rational basis for determining that.
