What is the speed of idiot? Also, can idiot travel through a vacuum, or does it require a medium like Reddit?

28 Upvotes

We know the speed of light is 299,792,458 m/s and the speed of sound is about 343 m/s.

But what is the speed of idiot?

For example, if I say something incredibly stupid on the internet and someone 8,000 km away immediately becomes dumber from reading it, can we calculate the propagation speed?

Also, can idiot travel through a vacuum, or does it require a medium like Reddit?

Why are so many aliens nudists?

201 Upvotes

In the movies Alien etc.: aggressively nude (even the face huggers and they're just kids!)

Arrival: weird nude.

Pacific Rim: giant nudes!

Signs: creepy nude.

Nope: carnivorously nude.

The Thing: disturbingly nude.

Star Trek: intermittent nudity.

So, what's the deal? Clearly some aliens wear clothes so it's not an ignorance of galactic norms. What other examples of alien nudity are out there, and why have these advanced species eschewed clothing, is it a cult, or is there something about being so technologically advanced that they simply have absolute control over individual climates? Something else?

Since the Milky Way Galaxy contains peanuts, shouldn't it be called the Snickers Galaxy?

56 Upvotes

My understanding is that a Milky Way and a Snickers are essentially the same except that a Snickers has peanuts. But there are peanuts in our galaxy, so doesn't that make our galaxy taxonomically a Snickers Galaxy?

I know UK scientists have made different findings from US scientists, but our galaxy has caramel too, so the name still seems incorrect.

If you're new to this sub, or science in general, you might not know what a Roger Planet is, so I'll do my best to describe it, as this is an educational sub above all else.

A Roger Planet is a planet which Roges.

Deng Xiaoping said "it doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, if it catches mice it's a good cat." Is that why China developed in the last 3 decades while Europe remained the same, the Europeans are using Schrodinger's cat which no one knows if he is even alive?

Is Ozempic causing the sixth mass extinction on our planet?

895 Upvotes

According to the World Health Organization there are 890 million obese and an additional 1.6 billion overweight people in the world.

If we guestimate 25 pounds extra per average overweight and 50 pounds extra per average obese (these numbers include people who are one pound into each category offsetting people on the higher end a bit) we get 40,000,000,000+44,500,000,000= 84,500,000,000 total extra pounds.

That's eighty four billion five hundred million pounds that might vanish with Ozempic, and I’m being conservative with my estimates on people's weights if you’ve ever been to the American south.

That’s a lot of mass, which raises the question if Ozempic is causing a mass extinction?
