pov: incel with physics education from wikipedia imagines what it'd be like to talk to a woman

[–] [email protected] 87 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Still salvageable.

'Yes mistress. I am stupid filth, mistress. Please teach me more."

Knowing Dommes that would work for some but you better at least be able to demonstrate a decent capacity in some stem branch. Engineering is a mixed bag because it’s great for degradation scenes but it is often a yellow flag

[–] [email protected] 2 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Degradation scenes? Wtf is that?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (2 children)

Listen, slut, you think you can just show up here and get off. No, you're going to earn it. Get on all fours! My boots haven't been tounge washed lately.

And so on.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Hay different strokes for different folks!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago (1 children)

What do you mean by yellow flag?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I’m being tongue in cheek as I’m an engineer myself, but there is a certain type of person who is overrepresented in the career and leaves a bad taste in people’s mouths for us. These people are firmly camped at mount stupid on most topics, generally show poor social skills, and in general are not fun to be around. There’s also a misogyny problem within the career that many women have picked up on

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (1 children)

Oof I got really worried I was camping at the peak myself just now, but then I saw the examples given and feel a bit better haha.

Hopefully being kind, open minded, and loving dominant woman doesn't make us a minority, as a fellow engineer.

Cheers, thanks for the explanation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

It might, but that’s ok. I’m married to a Domme myself, dating another, and have been flirting with a third (everyone knows about all of it). The trick is that I’m involved in my local community, treat dominant women like people, and am fun to be around. Bring an attractive woman helps I’m sure, but I’ve met unattractive men in similar situations so it’s probably not just that

This makes me want to file a feature request with @[email protected] about Lemmy supporting L^A^T~E~X.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

It already has trouble with regular code blocks.

Did... She just set the speed of light to 1?

[–] [email protected] 57 points 9 months ago

This isn't uncommon in lots of physics calculations where you are working at the same scales a lot and its cumbersome to keep carrying the constants around and it adds risk of making a mistake.

Think of it as assuming you are working in a system of units where you measure all your speeds relative to the speed of light. So rather than saying the speed limit of a road is 30mph you would say its .000000045c.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

She's measuring distances in light-seconds. Then the speed of light is 1 light-second per second

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (4 children)

1 what? Cucumber per nanosecond?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 months ago

1 speed of light of course.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Light-second per second

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Actually, yes. Light travels about 30cm in a nanosecond, around the size of a cucumber.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

Which is why I updated my comment from "banana per nanosecond", which itself was originally updated from "apple per picosecond" that I just put there randomly, without any thought.

[–] kboy101222 3 points 9 months ago

Is there another way to measure the speed of light?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

It's just a number, and all units are relative. So if you set it to 1 and make sure the equation still is valid it doesn't matter.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Just use the only practical unit of length, "lengthunit", which is equal to 299792458 meters (whatever those are...) times the only practical unit of time, "time unit", divided by a "second" (whatever that is...).

[–] [email protected] 33 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

For those who dont understand the equation, E = Energy, specifically Kenetic Energy in this case, p = momentum, which is determined by mass and velocity, and m = mass. You wanna know something else? a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is the same fucking thing as E^2 = p^2 + m^2.

[–] illectrility 28 points 9 months ago (1 children)

So it's all just Pythagoras?

[–] [email protected] 26 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Always has been

[–] [email protected] 21 points 9 months ago (1 children)

I'm not saying she's fast, but she gets around faster than a photon

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

She must be a satanist, then. She has negative mass.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 9 months ago

So she’s a classical kind of girl?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Take my very energetic upvote

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Did you upvote this while at rest?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

Best I can do is an inertial reference frame

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

uhmmm ahcktually its E^2^=m^2^c^4^+p^2^c^2^

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

Thank God for natural units

[–] [email protected] 6 points 9 months ago

I think the "her" in this meme must be Angela Collier.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 months ago

Energy as a form of momentum

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

girl spinning so fast homey's frames be dragging
