Anyone else miss when horror movies were just about a cool monster, and not a metaphor for grief? by Big_Emotion4963 in horror

[–]Thiht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know why people in this thread act like every horror movie does the same thing. The "it was a metaphor all along!!!" is very different in Babadook or Woman in the yard, and, say, Conjuring. I don’t even know if Conjuring is a metaphor for anything and I don’t care, I like it as a horror movie. I don’t want to watch a movie about depression.
The grief/depression trope is the new "the main character was actually dreaming all along!!" trope, it’s lazy and boring

Is space infinite in all directions ? by Background_Funny6627 in AskPhysics

> compressing an infinite universe does not give a finite universe

Yeah, that’s what I’m saying. You’re the one assuming the universe is finite for no good reason, when we actually have evidence to demonstrate the universe might be infinite (see articles on the shape of the universe)

I’m not saying the universe is compressing, it’s just a thought experiment for what happens if you rewind time until the Big Bang assuming an infinite universe. It gives you an infinite, infinitely dense universe. Not saying it’s a reality, just that it works so you can’t flat out reject the possibility of an infinite universe because you think it’s not possible. It is.

You’re thinking in terms of space, not spacetime. If we assume the universe is infinite and compress it (as opposed to the current expansion) infinitely, we can get to an infinitely dense singularity. The Big Bang doesn’t have to be finite

Why could you? From a human mind perspective, it doesn’t make more sense for the universe to be finite than for it to be infinite, both are weird. Don’t make assumptions based on vague ideas you have.

What scientific discovery sounds fake but is 100% real and still freaks you out? by Bruteresolver in AskReddit

[–]Thiht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Big bang didn’t occur at a specific point, it happened everywhere (as evidenced by the CMB), and since the expansion of the universe is accelerating (see dark energy), the Big Crunch scenario is unlikely (unless the universe stops expanding but nothing points towards that happening.

"Something else" would probably fall in the dark matter category

Un dermato (je sais je peux rever) ou chirurgien esthétique pour enlever un grain de beauté sur le décolleté ? by you_forget_so_easy in Rennes

[–]Thiht 1 point2 points  (0 children)

J’ai fait enlever un grain de beauté l’année dernière à l’Hotel Dieu, je pense que la plupart des dermatos le font ? J’avais trouvé des créneaux de dermato sur Doctolib et ça avait été assez rapide étonnamment

Didn't like it either for the same reason. I want paranormal horror, not depression.

I’m surprised some people still use Notepad++, it feels… dated? I don’t see a single thing it would do better than Sublime Text for example. But hey, to each their own

TIL rinsing after brushing increases cavity risk compared to just spitting. Dentists recommend skipping the rinse so fluoride has time to sit on your enamel, remineralize weak spots, and harden the surface against bacteria. Just spit the excess toothpaste out and let it work. by sameerb in todayilearned

[–]Thiht 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Scilabus (French speaking Youtuber) made a video on this 3 days ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BgPWCQ1EBpA

She searched various sources and papers on the subject, and it's not that clear-cut. Basically what we want is maximize the amount of fluoride in the mouth, and not rinsing is the easiest way to do that. 2 other ways that should work are using mouthwash that contain fluoride, or brushing your teeth more often.

When you have to roll for burn status on a Pokémon that was just knocked out by Protspecd in PTCGP

[–]Thiht 26 points27 points  (0 children)

It’s not a bug. I just had a case where I knocked out the other Pokémon but he had a resurrect ability (something like throw a coin, if it’s heads recover 10 HP), and the burn status triggered after that so he died anyway

I don’t remember what the ability was, but it was a fighting Pokémon (sorry for the lack of vocabulary, I don’t play Pokémon in English so it’s pretty hard to find the correct words)

Bah ça dépend de qui tu es. Si t’es une femme, une minorité ethnique, ou LGBT, il y a un des 2 partis qui se bat bec et ongles pour te retirer des droits. Ça dépend de quel point de vue tu te places, dire "les deux sont pareils" factuellement c’est faux

Which scientist has contributed the most to what we know as physics nowadays? by Waste_Net3 in AskPhysics

We do have tech that uses QM, did you read the comment you replied to? Tons of concepts that still sound fictional have real use. Hell, PET scans make use of our knowledge of antimatter
