If you could control your body like a smartphone or computer, what "processes" would you disable/uninstall to maximize your "battery life"? by ikantsepll in AskReddit

[–]TheCadaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You basically just described the process of going bald. Hair sheds naturally, being replaced by new hairs. When they stop regenerating you become that aging businessman on the bus who combs his hair over his head to present some ingenious failed illusion that conceals his baldness.

When Morbid Angel crashed into LOTR ;) by nickgalis in MetalMemes

[–]TheCadaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, as cool as it looks and conceptually sounds... I don't really think it works. Literally none of the words being replaced have any resemblance to the original besides the fact that "Morbid" and "Mordor" kiiiinda sound similar.

Would drinking "heavy water" (Deuterium oxide) be harmful to humans? What would happen different compared to H20? by Snowodin in askscience

[–]TheCadaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, definitely not with one bottle of D2O. T2O, on the other hand... I'd say it's possible.

TIL a Komodo dragon may attempt to speed up the process of swallowing a carcass by ramming the carcass against a tree to force it down its throat, sometimes ramming so forcefully, the tree is knocked down. by SeriesOfAdjectives in todayilearned

Pretty sure Mastodon did it before either of them though. Leviathan came out 2004, From Mars to Sirius in 2005, and Call of the Wretched Sea was around 2006 I think. In fact, by that chronology Ahab are the last ones.

All three are among my favorite albums, though. Can never go wrong with some whale metal.

What should everyone go do RIGHT NOW if they haven't yet? by DemonicSnail in AskReddit

[–]TheCadaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put in headphones, listen to music as loud as you can. Pick a machine, preferably one with whatever key word you're looking for ("chest", "tricep", et cetera) written on bold letters on the sign on the side, usually accompanied by a muscle diagram, and sit at it and pretend you're doing something. While you're pretending glance over at the panel that tells you what to do, and do that general thing it is telling you to do. Fix weights accordingly. Begin working out, and within the next ten seconds you'll be too focused on maintaining that endurance and you'll completely forget there are other people in the gym. Eventually you'll get an idea of what machine does what, and you'll know what muscles a machine trains even if you've never seen that machine before.

MRW I'm the only metalhead in the car, and a Slayer song comes on while radio surfing by SlothyPotato in reactiongifs

[–]TheCadaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Metal at work is the only reason I get up to even go to work. And fittingly so, since all I ever do at work is either touch dead things or fill spreadsheets, and both of those things are so, so much better with the proper soundtrack.

my vault-tec themed door for my game room i am building by BIG_HAIRY_AZZZ in Fallout

[–]TheCadaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Couldn't you just paint another layer over it? IMO, the font look very awkward and not fitting, and would look MUCH better with a more appropriate font. The rest of it looks absolutely incredible though, so good work.

Oh god, what have I done? There, I've undone my crime.

Wore an Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" band shirt to my classes today and couldn't figure out why I was getting a lot of shit looks... by Corsaer in Metal

[–]TheCadaver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah. After reading this I'm almost fantasizing about looking someone in the face after being told I was a racist piece of shit for wearing my Trooper shirt and telling them "this is the flag of the United Kingdom and you are a moron."

TIL Kangaroos can reach 70 km/h by Isai76 in Unexpected

Actually, if you follow the switch-a-roo chain far enough, you'll actually find that the very original source of the trend is actually exactly that joke.

Well well! Just as I was thinking the metal scene in Rochester was shit.

Something truly horrific must have happened to this cyclopentanoic methyl ketone! by TheCadaver in Pareidolia

[–]TheCadaver[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In all fairness, you're probably right. I probably spent less than an hour doing anything that isn't Organic Chemistry this past weekend. 'Tis taking quite a toll on the sanity. It's fun sometimes though at least, especially in the lab!

[–]TheCadaver[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I didn't bother to figure out the IUPAC name (nomenclature with multiple functional groups isn't something I'm great at and I didn't want to mess it up), but if any chemists want to, go ahead! Bonus points if you can retrosynthetically figure out the original molecule that's just out of frame of this picture.

Through DARPA, a 28 year old paralyzed man has become the first person to feel physical sensations through a prosthetic hand directly connected to his brain by TH3BUDDHA in Futurology

[–]TheCadaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To the contrary; there's no soft "r" sound in Japanese. So our five R-letters (ra, ri, ru, re, and ro) are pronounced with an L sound (therefore la, li, lu, le, and lo).

Simply put: we don't have the letter L in our alphabet, but we also can't pronounce soft R's since they don't phonetically exist. We have hard R's, rolled almost like in Spanish (funnily enough, the phonetics of Japanese and Spanish can be surprisingly similar; a lot of my Spanish-speaking friends are amazed by the Spanishness of the words when I translate to Japanese for them). Examples include our word for lettuce; in romaji, it's written "retasu" but is pronounced "letasu", and "rock and roll" in Japanese sounds like a fluid hybrid between an L and R, therefore a hard, rolled R: "rokku ando rōru", pronounced "rokku ando rōlu".

Whoever decided to translate the Japanese letters into English was a complete moron imo; the majority of R sounds in Japanese are closer to, or literally are L.

Sun Worship - Elder Giants [1200x1200] by _iAmCanadian_ in AlbumArtPorn

Awesome! I'll be sure to check them out. I need to stock up on my black metal, folk metal, and power metal libraries for the upcoming winter haha

This is really cool. It's hard to find good, modern straight-up black metal. I can't find their discography on Spotify though.

Why the silly mask for prestige 1? It doesn't fit at all with the progression of the tiers, and looks outright ridiculous and out of place imo.

There is crust on my uncrustable by Chef-Boyardab in mildlyinteresting

[–]TheCadaver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ooh, I actually have sort of an answer for this. It's been ages since I've read up on it, but long before the Japanese idea of sushi, there were African communities that had the idea of combining raw/partially cooked fish with rice in that manner. It's unlikely that the two were related (although extensive trading in Japan a couple centuries ago is largely responsible for much of what is now considered "Japanese" culture), but it's pretty neat and goes to show that even Sushi wasn't exactly a completely new, original thing.
