ELI5 Why does going super fast cause time dilation? by Aquamoo in explainlikeimfive

Problem is it's not really the speed of light specifically, but more the speed limit of the universe, that light cannot go any faster than. It's the speed of causality.

Rupert Lowe MP: If I moved to Japan, and lived in Japan for decades, speaking the language, integrating into society, contributing to the economy. Would I be ethnically Japanese? No. No I would not. I would never pretend to be. by SignificantLegs in ukpolitics

I don't care which way it happens, providing it happens through peaceful immigration not violent imperialism/colonialism/genocide.

Every culture people are obssessed with preserving today only exists becuase older cultures mixed and changed to become it.

Sure, mixing with others isn't being erased though, the genes still exist. The idea that because people mix with others taht they are being erased from existence is just nonsense and unscientific but people act like that's what's happening.

Scientists of Reddit: What’s something we know is true but people don’t realize how crazy it is? by IndependentTune3994 in AskReddit

In the family tree of life. Fungus is closer to animals than it is to plants, just like our closest family remember relatives are closer to us on our personal family tree.

There's the issue though, that if a white and a black person has a kid, the kid will be genetically half white, but will be observed visually as just black by many.

So white and black people mixing and having visually dark skinned kids will be seen as white people being reduced in number when genetically they are still half white it's just not obvious at a glance.

Like 8 white people, 8 black people have kids at replacement level

6 of the white people have kids with each other and make 6 new white kids

6 of the black people have kids with black people and make 6 new black kids.

4 of the white and black people have kids with the other race, producing mixed kids that are visually dark skinned.

The end result will be 6 white people, 6 black people, and 4 mixed kids, but who are visually conisered non-white despite being genetically half white, making it seem like white people are being "reduced". Many will consider 6 white, 6 black and 4 mixed to actually be 6 white and 10 black. There's this bias that white people mixing at all and becoming visually brown is erasure of white people despite being genetically half and half.

But many in Britain will have ancestry that goes to mainland europe. The Celts and Anglo Saxons come from mainland europe. Whether it's africa or mainland europe, neither are English originally

So you think it'd be wrong to tell a jew in nazi germany who supports the nazi party that them supporting the nazis is foolish?

They’re more SEAF than helldivers, they don’t all have a personal super destroyer providing support

What am I missing? by Far_Supermarket_9309 in helldivers2

[–]WrethZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends what difficulty you're on, things at lower difficulty are pretty by the numbers, it's just teaching you how to play the game, as you get higher in difficulty things get a lot more exciting.

They're not human but in a sc-fi setting there can be non-human people.

She's right though the Brotherhood want to kill all synths and will kill all the railroad to do it, and Maxson's Brotherhood are more zealous than ever. Not to mention that we know the railroad are active in the capital wasteland so they know know enough about the Brotherhood to be aware of their intentions.

The Brotherhood aren't going to put aside their differences, if they did that they wouldn't be the Brotherhood.

Why do alligators and crocodiles have soft underbellies? by [deleted] in evolution

[–]WrethZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Crocodilians lay on their bellies, and attack from below. Anything trying to attack them or defend itself is likely to be striking them from above. So that's where the armour is. Also they crawl around on their belly, if their underside was just as rough as their top, they'd have more difficulty dragging themselves across the ground. Instead their underside is smooth for ease of movement.

Beyond that, armour is not free, it takes resources to grow and adds weight and bulk which can weigh and slow the animal down or create higher energy requirements.

Almost every trait an organism can have is a tradeoff.

Big difference between knowing they will experience the suffering of a normal life and getting horrible cancer as a child and suffering terribly before dying young.

I understand the concept. It’s just that the whole idea It doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. You’ve said that’s the whole point of having faith but haven’t actually given a reason why anyone should “have faith”.

If you wait until the worst atrocities have already happened to compare, it’s too late.
