Jimmy Neutron being like ๐Ÿ˜Ž

[โ€“] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Still pales in comparison to Neutrinos, which pass through virtually all matter.

[โ€“] PsychedSy 20 points 11 months ago

Without interacting with said matter. I certainly fit in this category.

Very informative link, thx

It's that time of the day in which I go to r34 to confirm that the awful things I imagined have been imagined before.

Neutrinos be like "we're clearly the superior males" as they penetrate everything (except a light year of lead).

Ever since hearing this, I've wondered what would happen if one did have a lightyear of lead. Is it possible to stop a neutrino without destroying it?

What would happen if I collected a bunch of stationary neutrinos in one place? What would they look like? What would they feel like?

[โ€“] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Considering they really hate interacting with stuff, they probably wouldnโ€™t feel like anything.

[โ€“] threelonmusketeers 2 points 11 months ago

So could I pick up a lump of neutrino matter? Or would they pass right through my fingers even when stationary?

It's the neutered males that we should be afraid of.

[โ€“] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Checks out. 4chan guys all come across very very neutered

Eunuchs have historically had plenty of access and status as attractive in certain cultures

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agha_Mohammad_Khan_Qajar "Agha Mohammad Khan Qajar took revenge on the people of Kerman by ordering the eyes of 20,000 of the inhabitants." This guy removed the eyeballs of 20000 people...

What about F-Ray? I really need to look through some soda cans.

You know what they say: if you have to tell people you are something, you aren't.

alpha radiation can definitely penetrate a piece of A4 paper tho, and gamma radiation probably gets through a cm of Lead

It doesn't, our physics teacher demonstrated that in class
