Similar to the Higgs boson, Garfield's ass is instrumental in converting mass to energy.

The scientific laws that govern how everything functions from subatomic particles, to beehive structure, to gravity are absolute and unchanging. Our understanding of them is flawed and changes over time, but the laws themselves can't be changed.

I think people are more talking about believing in scientific institutions to ensure credibility and good faith research. Not necessarily that an individual institution is credible, but more the scientific community as a whole can be relied on.

Science is absolute, however the way we interpret and understand it isn't flawless and at the end of the day some level of belief has to be put into the fallible people behind it.

Hey now. The US also lost a war against jungle villagers, and then later started losing wars against inanimate objects like drugs.

The circle of life?

That sounds like of like the circular water cycle, which means... ... the economy is therefore a liquid and trickle-down economics does in fact work.

This looks photoshopped but i don't know why. The bottom line of text has no warping while the top line + image have more noticable warping.

I love learning about quantum physics from YouTube, but my impression is a lot of it ends up being "particals are just silly little guys at the quantum level" or "we have two models: one for normal big physics and one for batshit crazytown tiny physics".

There's no real advantage to joining the largest instances, you can view all their content from your fediverse account regardless of which instances you're on (unless it's been defederated which only applies to a small number).

Too many users/ traffic can overload the servers reduce the experience for everyone. Instances are mostly hosted by individuals and becoming too large, too quickly could have a financial impact on the owner.

Additionally, if any instance ever gets too large a share of users on the fediverse, the way they operate and their rules become "the standard". Then we're basically back at Reddit.

Diversifying instances is good in the long run!
