Changes in the gravitational field definitely travel, and do so at the speed of light.

Look up LIGO

Expanding a little on the last part, Earth’s orbital velocity is about 29.8 km/s so that’s the speed at which we would suddenly be leaving the former location of the solar system in a direction that depends on what time of year it happened. Regardless of direction though, the escape velocity of the Milky Way around where we are is about 544 km/s so there’s no way we’d be leaving the galaxy. On the other hand the plane of the galaxy is only about 6 degrees off from the galactic center at the moment, so if this happened at the right time of year (don’t know when that is) we could launch somewhat towards the core. We would not however get very close to it because the sun’s own orbital velocity is about 230 km/s so we’d still be in close to the same galactic orbit overall, just potentially a bit more eccentric.

The electrocution risk would actually last even after it’s unplugged: Power supplies can have big capacitors in them.

There used to be pornlemmy but it died (and was too restrictive in my opinion)

I don’t know why not the one you named, as far as I know it’s the only remaining general porn instance. There’s just a few scattered communities on other general instances, and there are specialty instances like your own.

There’s also a bit on Mastodon but mostly reposting from reddit.

Oh yeah, that does make a lot more sense that way then I was thinking of. (Like having it fall a long way then hit a lever or something)

A highly secured USD $2.75

I’m genuinely surprised that it’s not even more skewed. I wonder if it would have been had it (magically) existed a few decades ago.

Friction (as in the atmosphere) would matter a lot in this case. Bread is low density and would have a rather low terminal velocity. Basically doesn’t matter how high you drop it from.

(until high enough that you are letting the burn part happen on the way down, but then it’s difficult to capture that energy)

I really hope the kids do this.

No, I have a pretty normal human range, just for a much younger human than I am.

(if it’s super loud I could reach 22khz, but that was a few years ago that I checked it)

The dark dimension.

This is a feature that really should have been built into the Lemmy protocol years ago.
(Should allow browsing all communities also, not just SFW)

I trained myself up to this one also. It’s great for Spot the difference pictures and games.

I can hear high frequencies that supposedly only kids and teens still can. The most recent time it was ‘useful’ was (spoilers) a magic show in Vegas a few years ago.

Otherwise my hearing is terrible.

Unless he’s talking about something terrible he’s planning to do. Then it’s likely true.

There are a lot of categories of food and drink that I will never understand how anyone likes them. ‘Unsweetened and carbonated’ is reasonably high on the list for me - carbonation itself is bitter in my experience, and bitter by itself is unpleasant.

Of course different strokes for different folks, I don’t think people who like it should stop, I just don’t get why they do.

So you’re saying it should actually be pronounced “La Croiks”?

I care a tiny bit. I could care less, but not easily.

I suppose it is made of beta particles.

It also applies to technologies that don’t in fact exist but could. Those are much harder to name (besides sci-fi) since almost by definition we don’t know about most of them. Nor how many, compared to existing tech.

I’m not actually saying it’s impossible, just saying that local maximums (as described by the other users here) are a thing and it’s possible to be trapped for a very long time by them. Potentially forever, but you’re right that odds of breaking out do increase over time.
