I need a calculator that looks cute. It needs to have a solve function. Any ideas?

I feel really anxious and irritable for few days after I masturbate.
Is it low test or something else?

Electricity is a surface phenomenon that occurs on the boundary between conductors and dielectrics.

🧵 Propolis: the bee miracle!

Anonymous at Mon, 18 Mar 2024 08:35:39 UTC No. 16084483

Using propolis (a bee glue designed to seal open spaces in the hive), German science developed modern beehive air treatment in the early '60s. While bee air is a reliable cure for prostate gland inflammation and sinusitis, it has also been shown to mitigate the real problem of generalized anxiety disorder. Present colonies require a break of at least 45 minutes before we can extract their air again. However, with the spiraling demand for bee therapy, how can we increase the productivity of these so-called 'workers'? I suggest a new type of bee, perhaps designed to create new holes in the hive for the other bees to fix? Maybe even one that creates inch-sized holes extending deeply directly to the queen?

If humans hadn't become smart, what other candidates would there be to develop the Apex sapient species? I would say parrots, but some octopus are strong enough to walk on land, and have surprisingly developed eyes independently from other phylum. What other animals show great potential for mobility and intelligence?

🧵 where is my microscopic vertebrates??

Anonymous at Mon, 18 Mar 2024 07:12:18 UTC No. 16084372

why insects and spiders went fully microscopic (1/3 millimeter in size) but no vertabrates did?
is there a set limit in vertebrate genes that doesnt allow microscopic size?

smallest bird? still at least the size of a bumblebee

smallest lizard? about as big as a coin

smallest fish larva? some millimeters but you can see them without a microscope

turns out even the closest invertebrate relativs of vertebrates (acorn worm) are huge creatures measured in centimeters instead of millimeters

not even urochordates are microscopic eventhough their body suggest they should survive in that fashion

🧵 Lunar warfare: what would it look like?

Posting here as I don't have a lot of advice/ideas on /k/ and other forums. Perhaps you might help me? I'm making a game based on a hypothetical war on the moon anywhere between 2100 to 2250. It will be a FPS with some limited base building but it will feature realistic physics and weapons & equipment for the setting. Think the game Boundary + Red Orchestra 2 (especially for the dynamic campaign map) with also some influence of Tiberium Sun aesthetics

I need help on a plausible conflict (not aiming on 100% realism but at least that it seems plausible) that takes place on the Moon, anything from weapons, equipment, tactics, ships, politics, everything really. I want to do it specifially on the Moon as I feel it's underused in video games and I feel it has unique aesthetics. Here's some brainstorming I did with my limited knowledge:

>conflict must take place somewhere between 2100 to 2250 because in my opinion the future will be AI & machines only + it's more relatable to our technology
>why people are fighting: helium 3 to power fusion reactors and other minerals/metals
>no alien artefact

>option 1: conflict takes place in the early 22nd century between various private/national mining companies and PMCs as it's a sort of gold rush/scramble for africa. A literal wild west
>option 2: conflict takes place early 23rd century as a proxy war between Earth and Mars. It might seem super obvious that Earth will win but I made a scenario where Mars might have a chance if anyone is interested

Tell me how do you think a war on the Moon will look like. I imagine lots of orbital bombardment but if it's not possible, how will it look like on the ground?

Are there any intellectually stimulating videogames? Do any of you play videogames?

I've cut myself off entirely to focus on school and reading as videogames represent a slippery slope toward a hedonistic and self sabotaging lifestyle for me, but I feel the itch again. I figure maybe if I can at least convince myself what I'm playing is beneficial to some sort of neural processes and also limit my time, perhaps I can enjoy something I've enjoyed so much but in moderation.

I can't let myself go back to that shit man. Its basically a lifestyle of being plugged into a dopamine-drip simulator. Its barely even a fucking game

I mean, not just making statistical predictions, but simulating at the cellular level, meaningful enough for experimentation

🧵 Quantum mechanics supposedly arising from a maximization of "variety"

Anonymous at Mon, 18 Mar 2024 01:07:39 UTC No. 16083893

https://arxiv.org/pdf/1506.02938.pdf
The idea of this paper is that if you assume similar systems interact nonlocally in a way that ensures large "variety," which is roughly the ability to tell different states apart, quantum mechanics just falls out, schroedinger equation and all. Measurements seem nondeterministic because systems are interacting with every other similar system, and larger systems get closer to classical behavior because there aren't as many similar systems to interact with.

I'm not qualified to evaluate the math, but it's interesting to see something like this that claims to derive quantum mechanics from philosophical principles (namely Leibniz and his monads) that doesn't obviously stink of crackpottery (my nose probably just isn't sensitive enough).
Thoughts? There are proposed experimental consequences, do they line up with or get contradicted by anything we know?

what do? if classical mechanics is like the stuff they teach high schoolers how can I continue on?
