^ historically/statistically there must have been a sailor serving in some navy with the nickname Moonshine.

But also:

Yeah, I was almost OK with the plot, they (re-)set-up the story fairly nicely, for a moment it had potential.

:'(

(Different definition/pov of what is measured, yes, that is where the joke is.)

Hehe, look at this falsehood - there is no way this things can talk!
(However imho this is a more clear example of ‘two different definitions’ of the main concept/phrase intentionally mixed together for comedic effect, bcs words can explicitly have more than one meaning, and yes, usually you can tell from the context.)

This pic is def:

This “fun fact” mixes up the two definitions, making the statement meaningless.

Or at least the merit part of meritocracy being an overall gain for society/foss space (same thing), not individual isolated achievements/products.

With that mindset of overall benefits you do move on from strict meritocracy bcs everything is a group effort, of not just direct contributors (but obviously mostly of them) but ultimately of all stakeholders (users too).

We all need to grow, and I think, given reasonable opportuneness, we do.

The food colouring they add to the orange juice (from those pods) makes it actually taste better!

Hey, sexy bone-marrow pelvis, shake them atomic gains!

(OK, but like, if I produced synthetic plutonium I would make the box look like a chocolate box. Those workers & engineers deserve to have a fun work environment, engage in some shenanigans, make an oopsie from time to time.)

this is a commonly repeated falsehood obvious joke

And, if I have to explain the joke: it’s just E=mc² (the Einstein thing … well, the Einstein’s thing’s approximation), the energy (E) is the same for all mass (m) since the c is a constant.
You get the same 21 billon kcal from 1g of apples as from 1g of plutonium.
And since it’s usually well known humans do not devour mass into pure energy that might trigger ppls sense of humour.
(Additionally the idea of eating metal to seek nutrition might be funny, but we do need some metals \m/.)

Also “potential energy” phrasing is weird in that context.

There are 2 different definitions of calorie.
This “fun fact” mixes up the two definitions

It’s not even two definitions, the kcal is absolutely the same, it’s just used to measure two different things (mass energy vs the sum of what an average human can extract via chemical processes). I see you def understand that, but it’s not a different definition of a calorie (in the same way as length vs width of an object isn’t a different definition of a metre).

Equivalent-level of fun fact: 1 gram of hay contains that much calories too!

Zomg, where are all the warning labels???

I mean, you can heat any old rock & make it look like that … what I’m saying is that every rock, when heated to 500+°C, will gain delicious orange flavour, but scientists don’t want you to know that!!

Well, but it’s clearly the cat’s sink - how you gonna explain that??

Wonderule!

Not to be confused with wanderules.

Yes, they seem like the cheapest of China brands (if I see correctly, the electroplating is peeling/getting scratched off??).

(Pictured is prob not the cheapest price available - and also it doesn’t mean companies arent rebranding these & selling them for 20× the price.)

Change no, but it was my humble intention to add a little bit.
Understanding things/humans & why we behave bad is important imho.

Basically banning minorities together is in a lot of ways how the majority is made. And those never behave in the interest of most.

The oppressive class usually isn’t a majority (capital owners/rich, religious fanatics, morning people), but they dictate so much more of our lives, what to feel, who to hate - so much so that they make the majority work for them against the minorities (that don’t affect the lives of the majority in the slightest - but that’s just how the oppressors retain control & power).

- “Any key”

It doesn’t fit at all but I still hear the Sealab 2021 theme song …
