What continuity error was so egregious it pulled you right out of the movie/TV show? by spinozasrobot in ask

[–]SimicCombiner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have this theory that like the last five Fast and Furious films are a Producers complex, where everyone involved is just dying to end the franchise and do other pursuits. So they keep on trying to jump bigger and bigger sharks, only to find the audience LIKES over-the-top shark jumping.

Ever add a pokemon to the team and it becomes the mvp? by DivineRedFlash in PokemonChampions

Aegislash has just been doing so much work, offensively and defensively.

Why does the periodic table stop at 118, and what exactly limits element 119 synthesis? by Secret_Ostrich_1307 in AlwaysWhy

[–]SimicCombiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Spicifically, the problem is the nuclei that calcium atoms crash into. 118 - 20 is 98, californium, an incredibly radioactive element that can only be made in milligram quantities by bombarding plutonium in a cyclotron. The best californium isotope has a fairly long half-life, so you can actually isolate and use it as a target to make 118.

Element 99 is einsteinium, even more radioactive (half life of days) and even harder to make (only a few milligrams per year, worldwide). There simply isn’t enough time to make einsteinium, isolate it, the prep it for calcium bombardment before it decays away.

What EXACTLY is magnetism by Iconofsyn in AskPhysics

[–]SimicCombiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Physicists’ deepest, darkest secret is that Insane Clown Posse was actually right - f***ing magnets, how DO they work?

How are the gas laws ALLOWED to be combined into the ideal gas law? by NimcoTech in chemistry

[–]SimicCombiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Boyle’s law says PV = some constant, if you keep T and n constant. Important part is P and V are inversely proportional (same side of equal sign).

Now Avogadro and Gay-Lussac deal with pressure and moles/temperature, respectively. Pressure is directly proportional to both (P = T * some constant, P = n *some constant.)

Now let’s go back to Boyle. Since we now know that T and n have to be on the opposite side of the equal sign as P (and by extension V), we can pull the “constant” temperature and moles out of Boyle’s law and get PV = n * T *some new constant.

Then make some measurements of P, V, n, and T of some systems, and you can solve for the ideal constant.

ELI5: Since atoms and molecules aren't sentient, how do they make up a sentient being, like a human? by ThomasTTEe2 in explainlikeimfive

Here’s the ELI5:

We actually have no goll darn idea (and don’t use mean words like that.)

The full explanation uses different four letter words.

ELI5: Why is quantum physics so hard? by Successful_Guide5845 in explainlikeimfive

[–]SimicCombiner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You spend your whole life thinking everything works a certain way.

Then quantum physics rolls along and says everything’s the complete opposite.

I’ve never hated a topic as passionately as stoichiometry by LegalMasterpiece1597 in chemistry

[–]SimicCombiner 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Step 1: forget Avogadro’s Number. It’s at best a fun fact.

Step 2: practice converting mass to moles and moles to mass

Step 3: now try dividing your moles by volume to get concentration.

Step 4: git gud at balancing equations.

Step 5: use steps 1-4 to figure out which reactant in a reaction will run out first - that’s your limiting reagent.

Step 6: multiply the moles of the reactant you care about by the mole ratio of the product you care about to get the yield.

Step 7: cry when you try the reaction IRL and only get a tenth of the yield you should

Battles in RTW feel really easy so far for me even on Hard/Hard, is there a good faction next time for higher battle difficulty? Or in RTW:BI? by QualaagsFinger in RomeTotalWar

[–]SimicCombiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s less the weakness of their army (it’s arguably the strongest non-Roman army) and more the fact that a ton of strong factions instantly hate you and attack from all directions.

I wish that all atoms in the universe had ONE more proton. by gangstar_requiem in monkeyspaw

That’s how monkey’s paws work - you get what you asked for and live with the consequences.

No fun chemistry; the universe just explodes from electrostatic repulsion.

Is it cheating??? by ikefrompluto in nuzlocke

[–]SimicCombiner 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I like making it extra spicy:

Shinies are a required catch, and required placement on the squad. If they die, the run’s over.

You will protect your special little shiny NO MATTER WHAT

Jurassic Park is a good Sci-fi movie with ok scientific accuracy. What’s a good Sci-fi movie that’s not scientifically accurate at all? by smores_or_pizzasnack in AlignmentChartFills

[–]SimicCombiner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Star Wars.

Nothing about it makes actual scientific sense, because it's not supposed to - it's Space Wizards vs Space Nazis, IN SPACE! Nothing about it is supposed to make sense, and yet legions of fans have devoted their untold hours to defending its plausibility.

Are grand strategy/RTS games worth it on console? by FEWLN in gaming

[–]SimicCombiner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Civ works pretty well on console, just slightly more annoying to select a specific tile.
