    natural laws of the universe can be described with our maths. but i’m pretty sure the universe didn’t go “ah yes, 1+2=3 i can work with that! let there be light”.

    the numbers, the symbols, the equations - they’re all human made, an attempt to describe things in a way that can be understood by us. but is this how they are? of course not. no wave or particle would describe itself the way we describe them, in fact they wouldn’t describe themselves at all - they simply are



  • oh yeah of course! i didn’t go into that because that wasn’t what i wanted to convey but absolutely. it’s one thing to be able to disconnect the author from their work, and another thing to disconnect your brain from your decision making keep supporting their work financially or by spreading the word about it

    proton masses are rather small - inconvenient

    the distance light travels at a certain time - then it’ll just be based on our artificial units of time

    cesium oscillation i don’t know much about but from what i quickly read it’s also about keeping time, 1s to be precise, which is still an arbitrary unit


  • not everyone can disconnect the author from their work, if looking at your tatto makes you think about your favourite book that keeps reminding you of how the author actively keeps making your life more miserable and considers you either a predator or a broken little girl - then yeah, maybe that tattoo is not the best thing to keep around

    c is pretty round (universal symbol for the speed of light)

    aside from that, nothing. as science and maths are mere attempts at describing the universe all our units are arbitrary, decided to be the way they are purely because you just need to pick something to be your reference point.

    at no point has a true non-artificial unit emerged, there is no constant size of anything that could aid in that (one contestant for that title could be the planck lenght but that’ss just incredibly inconvenient to use. "honey could you pelase move the couch 6,25 × 1034 planck lengths to the left? [1m])







  • to fill out the something somethings for the unaware audience -

    if you get something into your bum fully, it’s very hard to get out on your own without hurting yourself, and your ass can suck that thing in in a second - so unless you’re an avid fan of going to a doctor to get something out of your butt, the object you’re penetrating yourself with has to have a flared base - that is a base at the bottom of the object much wider than what your ass can suck in, which will stop the thing from sliding in


  • honestly i don’t mind a bit of dirt with a touch of poop. if i myself pluck a carrot out of the ground - i’ll just wash it a bit and proceed to chomp

    what i do mind is the number of hands and various containers the carrot goes through before it gets bought by me at a store. theoretically, nobody has to touch a carrot for it to appear in the store (harvested mechanically, transported in large quantities, thrown out of a box onto the store display), sure, but i’m not counting on that, nor am i counting on the fact they wash their hands properly



  • oh it is not getting addresses correctly.

    there’re many grifters out there taking advantage of lonely men - they promise turning into a chad and getting laid… if you just buy this course of mine and oh btw its a subscription model website.

    then there’s 4chan and the infinite sea of incels with their various pills pushing people further into feeling like victims oppressed by women (a nifty distraction from the real problem of society’s constant push towards individuality and capitalism’s constant battle to destroy public spaces) and giving up on even trying to get out of their homes. once you see yourself as an incel being pathetic becomes a personality trait, and internalising that can make getting out of that hole incredibly difficult.

    women obviously are also affected but their bonds between each other seem stronger, maybe because they are allowed to hug each other without being called slurs.

    so yeah, the problem is being address in all the wrong ways. even the talk of man specific societal issues is incredibly rare outside of the grifter spun narratives to get you to buy their courses or reinforce your feelings of being pathetic.

    most people are focused on women’s rights - which yeah, they should - but i don’t think those two issues are disconnected. after all, the more lonely the men, the more it’s the “women’s fault”, the more hateful they are towards them, the worse both problems get.

    now how do we get out of this pit?
