Particle that only has mass when moving in one direction observed for first time
  • Hmm... is this what could change space-flight? Imagine having a material that is nigh weighless when moving away from gravity but gains mass again when moving towards it. It would make it much more feasible to transport heavier stuff into space.

  • Deny, Defend, Depose: UnitedHealthcare CEO’s Slaying Highlights Widespread Rage at Healthcare Industry
  • That rage is useless if you don't show up to the voting booth and vote for candidates that want to change the situation for the better. Voter participation is shit for local, state, and federal elections - most people only care about presidential elections, but those are too late. And still only 60% show up to vote.

  • How John Deere Robs Farmers Of $4 Billion A Year [19:47]

    John Deere is costing American farmers $4.2 billion a year by restricting them from fixing their own tractors. Apple, Amazon and major automakers use the same strategies on everything you own. It's bad for consumers and local mechanics, but excellent for corporate profits.

    If Putin had been a good guy, what would have he done for Russia instead?

    With all the money going into the Ukraine war and other ventures since Putin came to power, I imagine there's a lot of stuff he could've done to make the world a better place and Russia a formidable world power.

    Why are we OK with thick folding phones, but not with thick no-folds?

    Was watching this video on the "tri-fold" phone by MKBHD and that thing is thicc! I don't care about folds, but I can't find a single phone without a fold phone that is that thick. The battery life would be amazing...

    TIL: males have 25% more neurons in the visual cortex than females
    medicalxpress.com The eyes have it: Men do see things differently to women

    The way that the visual centers of men and women's brains works is different, finds new research published in BioMed Central's open access journal Biology of Sex Differences. Men have greater sensitivity to fine detail and rapidly moving stimuli, but women are better at discriminating between colors...

    Should we stop splitting sports by gender and just let everybody compete together?

    No more men's and women's league, no more "gender eligibility" requirements, a common dresscode, same standards and rules for all.

    Edit: since it looks like people missing the word let: the suggestion isn't to force desegregation. It's to allow it or even make it the default. Someone else made a good suggestion: segregate by attributes specific to the sport. In boxing it's weight class, in basketball it could be height, in biking it could even be doped and non doped. Sex and gender need not be the very first thing to segregate by.

    We're All In It And No One Cares | Quick Thought | Nathan Macintosh [8:53]

    From credit card and payday loan commercials telling us to get into it, to people joking about the amount of debt they're in and also telling you to get into it, debt is a real thing that supposedly nobody should care about. Am I wrong here? Is it just normal to be in debt or should we try to fight this? \#debt #money #finance #jokes

    Which theoretical concept found its use decades, centuries, or even after millennia?

    After a short discussion on another topic, I was wondering about this.

    TIL: The Canadian shield is in fact not an item but a region in Canada that is mostly rock

    The Canadian Shield (French: Bouclier canadien [buklje kanadjɛ̃]), also called the Laurentian Shield or the Laurentian Plateau, is a geologic shield, a large area of exposed Precambrian igneous and high-grade metamorphic rocks. It forms the North American Craton (or Laurentia), the ancient geologic core of the North American continent. Glaciation has left the area with only a thin layer of soil, through which exposures of igneous bedrock resulting from its long volcanic history are frequently visible. As a deep, common, joined bedrock region in eastern and central Canada, the shield stretches north from the Great Lakes to the Arctic Ocean, covering over half of Canada and most of Greenland; it also extends south into the northern reaches of the continental United States. Geographical extent The Canadian Shield is a physiographic division comprising...

    I had a scary thought: what if youtube decided to join the fediverse?

    When I saw MKBHD on threads available through flipboard, the thought crossed my mind. Wouldn't it be a game changer for the biggest websites to suddenly try to coax users and content creators with "one account to rule them all" solution?

    What's a "post-leftism"?

    Is it similar to the waves of feminism?
