But what if I want neutrino flavors?
Do I have to go to another store?

The uncertainty wave function under that mask wouldn't have collapsed into Patton Oswalt... until you meddling kids showed up.

Omg, I'm dying over here...!
This is the greatest use of Soyjack I've ever seen.

If I could ever do an art gallery exhibit of memes, this one has to be on it. This ticks all the Pop Art boxes. Andy Warhol would have been deeply fascinated by the meme format.

five layers of tinfoil

That ought to give just enough protection from the liquid that turns frogs gay, at the very least.

The honest people were ran out of the organization or the country years ago - maybe through a window - until only parasites feeding off parasites remain.

It's ok... I practice intermittent fasting.

Dimensionless numbers, not dependent on any mere mortal, subjective arbitrary unit of measurement like length (meters or yards or cubits - same difference) or time.
Whether you are on Earth or a planet in Andromeda or a billion light-years away, if you study subatomic structure you WILL bump into the fraction 1/137. Just like you will in geometry with 3.1416.

Meanwhile, Pi and the Fine Structure Constant watching the show, passing each other the popcorn.

A bullet fired from a gun goes more or less at Mach 1, correct?
It's thirteen years to the sun at the speed of a bullet?

Spacecraft towards Mercury, or the Parker Solar Probe go much faster than that, take a few years to make it there, but they are doing so picking up speed in flybys of first Earth, then Venus, then Mercury, in several, ever tighter orbits.

It's both fun and illuminating to try and visualize these things in new ways. In this case, from the viewpoint of a bullet.

Haha, no, it's fine, and thank you for bringing up a great point that I've never really thought about before, it's like there was a blind spot in my autopilot when I wrote that here, just going for what felt easiest at the very moment.

It's just that I'm on a tablet that tends towards the older side, I'm really quick at those things on the computer, but on the tablet the formatting process is just a little too formal for me with a finger and a touchscreen and apps that are regularly sluggish to respond.

Yeah, on the computer I can make a meme here and there, edit photos, etc, but on the tablet... all I can do comfortably is read, write, and the most basic copy-pasting of images on messaging apps like Signal. And I'd never really stopped, turned and regarded that before.

EDIT: ideally, instead of linking, it would be great if we could display the image directly here in the thread, and maybe on the computer I could try and find a way, but I mostly use the tablet nowadays. And if it's too much of a server load for Lemmy to allow that, I can live without that "luxury".

 

For example, places like HistoryPorn have some bizarre pictures of weird inventions or WWII experimental weapons.

How come I'm only just now coming across them? Why didn't we see them five or ten years ago, even in specialized forums and subreddits?

Places like ArtPorn or TraditionalArt are a trickier proposition. Here my lack of knowledge is vast, but I've really loved the history of painting for over two decades now, and have recently kept coming across a lot of 18th-to-20th century paintings and painters I've never heard of before; some of these are excellent, I should have known about them... I think. But like I say, there's more that I don't know than what I do.
If they are real and not recent AI creations, where are the original and who is digitizing and/or publishing so many of them all of a sudden in the past year?
