  • Yeah it’s like, I’m not gonna watch a movie when I’m sitting on the toilet or taking a short break on the couch. Same reason for why I go on here when I’m on the tram or similar

    It’s intentionally meant to just be a low effort break activity. You very much can watch or read short-term media with intention











  • Yes I know what vacuum decay is, and the thing I referenced, the inflaton field, is a hypothetized false vacuum near the very start of the universe, that went through this exact process, giving rise to our current vacuum and ending the hypothetized inflation era

    I know there’s a hypothesis that our current vacuum could be metastable as well, but that’s a seperate thing


  • Astronomy is critical towards understanding the foundational principles of reality. Observing the universe around us is the guide for where physics should follow

    And I think most people would agree that understanding how our world works, the physics of it all, is very very useful in unforeseen ways. Cannot hope to make a circuit if you don’t know how electricity works, right?




  • I don’t think it’s disingenuous. It represents the total share of resource consumption. If something has 2x the biomass, it consumed 2x the materials needed to produce that biomass (purely in terms of the makeup of the body, that is)

    I don’t think count by itself is very relevant. There’s more bacteria in a glass of water than there are humans in a country, but what does that tell you, exactly?

    Although I do agree the infographic should be changed to specify biomass
