Macaroni and Cheese from a deli in Long Island, New York
  • To be fair, it looks like a normal mac and cheese with extra cheese slices melted on top- you can see the sauce when you zoom into the pasta

    23 Nobel Prize-winning economists slam Trump agenda, endorse Harris
  • Fair enough, but I automatically wince whenever I see “X Nobel Prize winning-Ys endorse/reject Z”, because as often as not, it’s nonsense…

    What if Earth grew 1cm every second?
  • Actually, even if the density was constant, the earth would turn into a black hole when it reached about 1.925 * 10^13 times its original mass, since the mass of a black hole is proportional to its radius, whereas the mass of the earth in this scenario grows proportional to radius cubed. This should happen around 371 years (?) after starting.

    (Please check my calculations, I’m not 100% sure.)

    Watermelons rule
  • Pretty much the only true ones are the ones about large webbing or orange/yellow field spots, because they indicate a watermelon that’s left to ripen for longer, but between natural variability and improved farming techniques, there’s no certainty.

    detective
  • I haven’t watched SBSP, so take this with a pinch of salt: Patrick looks like he’s the grown up Bart Simpson under the sea.

    Regarding this picture, where do you think quantum computers lie and why?
  • I personally think we’re on the slope of enlightenment - quantum computing no longer attracts as much hype as it used to, but in the background, there’s a lot of interesting developments that genuinely might be very important.

    Crystals
  • Metaphysical means that it’s beyond the bounds of normal physics - stuff like ghosts, spirits, religious stuff, etc. Basically, you can cover a lot of hokey with it.

    Why Iran Has Waited to Retaliate Against Israel for Hamas Leader’s Killing
  • This makes so much sense to me - Iran joining in would give an invitation to USA, EU, etc. to join in with Israel, and take away focus from Israel’s war crimes and genocide to instead focus on the new bad guy.

    Top Tories fuelled riots with ‘divisive language’ on immigration, say party grandees
  • I dare Priti Patel to go to one of these rallies. I bet someone would brick the back of her head purely based on her skin colour. Let’s see how much two tier policing she speaks of again.

    Certainty
  • I’m not sure to what extent it’s actually manifesting differently or being masked better than institutional bias against the idea of women having ADHD - diagnoses are about 3x more rare for women…
