Can we also call spiders “saber-toothed ants”? Oh, and then there’s also “saber-toothed worms”.

I’m sure none of this will trigger anyone.

What do you mean by action? Like, how running or writing are actions people can take? So maybe infinity would be an action a group of numbers can take?

Basically any unit can be squared, cubed or whatever, but the resulting unit doesn’t always make sense in the physical world.

For example, m/s^2 isn’t velocity. It’s acceleration. If you have a formula that gives you an answer in kg^3, you probably made a mistake somewhere.

If you assume that Alien is real, you can take a cube root of it, and get a single value. However, if we assume that Alien is complex, it will have three distinct values.

The original movie had only one fully grown xenomorph, so in that regard you could argue that it’s 1. But what about all the other eggs seen in the background? Apparently they don’t count.

Imaginary numbers have a specific value, just like all the normal numbers we use on a daily basis. Infinity is not a specific value. Instead, it’s a qualitative property like “flat”, “periodic”, or “symmetric”.

Let’s be real, it’s a complex topic.

I’m pretty sure the number of Lemmy users who like Chrone is very small. It feels like most people here already use Firefox or some related browser.

Deceptive marketing and straight up lying is so prevalent that people have all sorts of wild ideas about VPNs. That’s why it’s high time someone cleared things up.

VPN: essential or snake oil?

Soon we’ll find delivery robots trying to pull some amazing stunts, all thanks to the sacrifices of some daring Pokemon Go players. Good times ahead 🍿

While I was in the shower, I thought of a brilliant idea! Let’s trigger several smaller volcanic eruptions that release a semi-controlled amount of volcanic ash into other atmosphere. That will cool down the atmosphere, which should buy us some time to fix our carbon emissions.

Then I realized, that doing so would block visible light. Plants need the light to grow, and we need the plants to breathe and eat. Obviously, this is not going to be a long term solution. Oh, and how do you even make sure the volcanic eruption doesn’t spiral out of control and suddenly spew out 50 times the ash we were aiming for. Oh, and volcanoes also spew CO2 and even nastier gases, so… It sounded so good while I was still in the shower. The more I think about it, the worse it gets.
