By design, they don’t know how they work. It’s interesting to see this experimentally proven, but it was already known. In the same way the predictive text function on your phone keyboard doesn’t know how it works.

Is this a Terraria reference?

The meaning? It seems fairly self evident, a critique of internet arguments, not far from that cliche of ‘touching grass’

GIMP doesn’t mean anything though (besides for GNU Image Manipulation Program)? Why are you bringing it up?

Moist filament leads to bubbly prints :)

I use empty cardboard boxes and shoe boxes to store my coin collection, and one to use to dry out my spools of filament.

What books are they? It’s possible you could find them on one of the sites linked on fmhy.net

Til cannabis growing requires as much electricity as a server farm

No single source. I like how Verity collates the facts and the spins from multiple sources across the web.

No, you would physiologically age at the same fast-forwarded time rate. Essentially, for you, less time would pass at the same time that more time passes for the outside world.

The light takes the same amount of time to get there from an external point of view. It’s more like time slows down for you the faster you go, which from an external perspective would look like you moving and acting slower than normal. So in the time it would take light to travel 1 light year, it always takes one year. However, you would be slowed down so much that it would appear to you that much less time had passed, maybe only a few days. If you travel at the speed of light you slow down so much that no time passes for you at all at that speed. So you instantly arrive, from your point of view. However, from the point of view of an external observer, it still took one year.

Essentially, it slows down the amount of time you experience, but the amount of time that actually passes externally doesn’t change. If you go to the moon, it will take only 1 second at light speed, so you wouldn’t really notice whether it felt instant or to take a second. However, if you go somewhere further like Proxima Centauri, which is 4 light years away, you will arrive back on Earth at least 8 years later (there and back). If you go at light speed, it would appear to be instant, suddenly you’re at Proxima Centauri 4 years later, suddenly you’re back at Earth 8 years later. If you go just below light speed, you’ll see the world outside go past like it’s being fast forwarded, and when you return, 8 years will have been compressed into something that seems much shorter to you.

“Aside from the viable political ideologies, what are some viable political ideologies?”

Making this a TLC to promote visibility, though I wasn’t the one to discover it:

⚝ U+269d “Outlined White Star”

I think it works great, in reference to the rainbow star thing!

You have to have been there first within 24hrs to teleport there

Shapeshifting (also, yes)

Your clothes are not transformed with you

And none of those y axes start at zero, which is additionally misleading as it exaggerates the level of change.

This is orphan crushing machine material, not uplifting news.

Just because Merlu is misguided doesn’t mean you’re right for making personal attacks.

Lol, the US is bad. So are many other western countries. That doesn’t make Russia good, or even less bad.
