  • I am tfsorry that you have to go through this, do you have any choice in the matter or anyway to bail out? Seriously, do your future self a favour and say no.

    Listen to your wife, be present, don't force her to have sex.

  • Thanks everyone, looks like throwing the rich in jail always work on Lemmy,

    I try to come with a theme today or tomorrow

  • If dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, what happens when light hits it?

    Jump

  • Scientists don’t know if dark matter really exists, or if there’s other ways to explain this phenomenon. Another explanation is that there’s no extra matter, but that this is just how gravity behaves in large scales.

    I am by no mean an expert, but I When I was a master student, I spent some time exploring the modified gravity rabbithole the most popular being MOND. The big limit is that it's a ad hoc model to fit galaxy rotation curve, it works pretty well. But it doesn't work if you try to use it for a cosmological model, and doesn't explain gravitational lensing. Making it an overall weak hypothesis compared to the good old cold dark matter

    The standard cosmological model with dark matter and dark energy (it's two different objets) is supported by a lot of evidences. Up to now, no alternative theory works at explaining all data we have.

    Don't get me wrong, we may have a massive hole in gravity, and may at a point get the missing piece of data to find it and explain everything without using exotic particles. But as of today, both particle physicists and cosmologists agree that particle physics beyond the standard model provides the most solid candidate for dark matter and that nothing else has a solid backing

  • If dark matter doesn't emit, absorb, or reflect light, what happens when light hits it?

    Jump

  • While I've bee away from dark matter physics for a while, we do have a couple of theoretical candidates for dark matter, and data from cosmology and particle accelerator, somehow describing the kind of proporties that a dark matter particle would have.

    And it includes a low cross section, meaning that most likely it won't interact with light (see it as smaller than light as an over simplification). This makes detection pretty hard both in direct and indirect way

  • You're given $20,000 USD (or the equivalent in your local currency) to spend, but anything still left by the end of the day you lose for good. What are you spending it on?

  • Oups, I was expecting a bit more money to spend

  • Does it works if I get it back latter doznpayement for a 2 million house, with a "provided mortgage is approved clause". 2 weeks latter tell that the bank doesn't follow. Too bad I am not rich.

    Alternative is a second hand ultra light plane, wit. That budget I may buy something cool.

  • How do we get people to read theory?

    Jump

  • This is why free university and social sciences are important too. It's great to have electric car and supra conducting magnet, but we also need people to think about classism, history, sexism and all the rest

    Why do people blame the government but not themselves?

    Jump

  • You can't do much about high rent and low wage, the government can.

  • does anyone else have this impression of gruyere?

    Jump

  • Gruyère has a pretty light taste, more something you put for the texture. If you want taste go for some goat, bleu, or Munster (beware that one will make your fridge smell)

    How to avoid/recognize scams/fakes as an older man on dating apps?

  • Pro-tip, invite to a physical date quickly, it would filter out most of scammer, and if you don't other person will do and the person you had a good chat with will vanish

  • Bloody horror or subtle horror?

    Jump

  • Horror RPG taught me about how important it is to take the time to play normality, let the player connect with their character, have fun and light roleplay moment, until that moment when horror steps in.

    Player dealing with monsters and having blood up to their knee ends up being epic high fantasy but not horror.

    On a more norme activity the movie the descent is a great exemple the first half slowly drift from stressful to frightening, then the second half is girl fighting Gollum in the mud, and turn from frightening to comical

  • Do you think the average Lemmy user is further left than the average reddit user?

  • Lemmy didn't but reddit marketing campaign, and new front page algorithm drew a new public. Sure they banned the totally not nazi edge lord and Trump hardcore far, but they attracted the I don't care about politic, vote for a personality but never left public too which you add the hordes of pro Russia/Israel troll/bots at the point the world news sub is unreadable

  • How many people would a generation ship need to have for inbreeding to not be an issue?

    Jump

  • If you are strictly controlling genomes and breeding pairs, ignoring monogamy and social norms. You might be able to get away with 100

    In a Sci fi context where we have generation ships, I would add frozen sperm/eggs to the equation and even artificial womb. In like a 100kg package you can store a lot of genetic material. That's pretty fucked up (and a nice writing prompt) but definitely doable.

    At this point the question is also cultural what is the minimum amount of person to keep a population able to maintain a large ship over centuries and produce enough food
