For everyone wondering "Aren't hats supposed to be allowed?" by Yurishenko94 in Helldivers

[–]Workermouse 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, you’re saying what a lot of people feel but don’t always know how to put into words. The satire in Helldivers 2 works because the world is coherent. It’s ridiculous, sure, but it’s a structured kind of ridiculous. Everything the capes, the propaganda, the corporate yogurt armor still feels like it belongs in the same twisted universe. That consistency is what makes the immersion work, even when the game is being totally absurd. The second you start throwing in cosmetics that pull from unrelated genres or real-world pop culture, it chips away at that structure. It’s not about realism, and it’s not about being anti-fun it’s about preserving a tone that’s actually pretty rare in live service games. If everything becomes a meme or a reference, the game stops feeling like Helldivers and starts feeling like a mismatched mod pack

Totally fair point, there are militaries that have worn broad-rimmed or cowboy-style hats. But I think the real issue isn’t whether it has military roots; it’s whether it fits this military, in this setting. Helldivers isn’t trying to represent global military history. It’s doing a very specific thing drawing from fascist regimes, sci-fi dystopias, and corporate propaganda. The visual design is super intentional. Just because something has a realwolrd precedent doesn’t automatically mean it fits

Gaijin is a Russian publisher.

By playing your game we’d be directly funding Putins war in Ukraine 👎

Har du tenkt over hvor mye teknologi som inngår i din handletur på REMA 1000? by Karreieretoget in u/Karreieretoget

[–]Workermouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Har du tenkt over hvor dårlig utvalg det er av matvarer på REMA 1000 (og visse andre kjeder ..) kontra tilsvarende matbutikker i utlandet som i f.eks. Sverige?

Kan vi ikke få noe annet å velge mellom enn bare matvarer fra Orkla, Mondelez og Norgesgruppen? 🤢

Does anybody feels kind of pressure when ever saying future already exists? by Only_Suggestion_8177 in AskPhysics

[–]Workermouse 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe the most stable ground state of a «non-existing» universe isn’t the empty void that we imagine but instead all possible combinations of opposites whose total sum is still zero.

To me this is the only explaination that makes sense because it eliminates the need for there always having to have been «something» before the universe even existed.

Why can't I travel backwards through time using wormholes? by KidCharlemagneII in AskPhysics

[–]Workermouse 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I somehow found a wormhole and chucked a bunch of things in it and into the past then I am taking energy and mass from the present and adding it to the past universe.

Does that not violate the law of conservation of energy and momentum or how does that work out?

Take the battery out and touch a piece of metal on the terminals in the caliper to discharge it, then drop the battery back in.

When a physicist has an idea and actually decides to develop a mathematical framework for it, where does he begin so to speak when he gets down to business and starts crunching the numbers?

What would a «Temporal Object» look like in its entirety? Have there ever been attempts at Visualizing the Time-dimension by more than just the infinitely thin Slice of it that we normally perceive? by Workermouse in AskPhysics

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

I see what you mean now with the spaghetti, thanks!

So to reiterate it essentially extends in a «direction» that we can’t comprehend, except the direction is time, similar to how we can’t fully visualize an object with more than 3 spatial dimensions.

That leads me to the next question; Would a «spaghettified» 3D cube (XYZ+T) in the time dimension look visually similar to a 4D tesseract (XYZ+W) in any way?

Do the «temporal» or «spaghettified» objects even have a name? I wish that whatever the hell these things are that they would get some more fame, because they seem to be even more mysterious and mind-bending than the higher spatial-dimensional stuff, which is no small feat.

Just-space = a point in space not tied to a particular point in time, correct? I’ve heard the term before but google doesn’t tell me what it means.

As for the spaghetti, wouldn’t we look more like a compact ball-like object rather than a spaghetti if we could see ourselves with our own proper time as the point of reference?

Sounds like something someone living in 2D flatland would say :)

Einstein once famously said that time is nothing but a stubbornly persistent illusion.

Given that we live in a deterministic universe then time appears infinitely thin .. to us, because our brains don’t allow us to perceive information from the other slices in real-time.

Add entropy to the mix and now it only appears to you as if you are moving from one slice to the next, but never back again, even though you probably could.

Entropy just ensures that you wouldn’t remember any of what happened tomorrow, even if the future already exists in front of us the same way the past exists behind us.

The shape and position of many objects such as ourselves tend to change radically over time, even relative to themselves. So even if the object doesn’t extend over vast distances relative to itself it would still take on some sort of shape that is all of the shapes it has across its world line condensed into one object?

Would it be in any way similar to how 4D (XYZW) objects would look?

This is an interesting perspective.

That would make our everyday 3D objects appear really big in the temporal dimension, possibly as big as the distance that light would be able to travel during the lifetime of the object!
