SPONTANEOUS USELESS(ISH) FACT #322
It's remarkably easy to get Vitamin A poisoning from eating too much liver. About 3 lb (1.4 kg) of beef liver eaten at once has about a 50% chance of killing the average human. And since Vitamin A stays in your body for a long time (read: months), it's very possible to overload your system with consistent liver consumption

[harsh imp]

Ouch

[maiden wing]

This is #322

[charred spoke]

Thank you

[terse marsh]

To be completely honest, I had no idea "tons" and "tonnes" were two different units. I thought it was a different way to spell the same unit like "armor" and "armour"

[maiden wing]

Next up we’re gonna be using metric time

[sacred field]

Spontaneous Useless Fact #276
this is not spontaneous useless fact #276

[charred spoke]

Ton = 2000 lb
Tonne = 1000 kg

[terse marsh]

Thanks for the clarification! :D

[maiden wing]

At least make it the right number
It’s a Pali

[sacred field]

wait a ton is a metric of weight
i thought it just meant a lot

and tonne was the unit

SPONTANEOUS USELESS FACT #325
The reason for the Chernobyl disaster was because the worth of the reactor reached >1$, pushing it into a state called "super prompt critical" where the chain reaction could sustain itself solely off neutrons produced immediately by fission (a portion of neutrons from fission are produced a few seconds later, which are used to control the reaction). As such, the neutron population exploded in a matter of nanoseconds, causing a steam explosion and a whole bunch of other terrible stuff.

[terse marsh]

and a whole bunch of other terrible stuff.
Dang, like what?

[zenith void]

Killing ppl

[sacred field]

would that mean nuclear bombs want to go over $1 when detonating?

[terse marsh]

Oh, yeah that sounds pretty bad

[zenith void]

Way more

[sacred field]

way more than 1 is still over 1

[terse marsh]

The nuclear weapon economy is in ruins

[charred spoke]

Oh, you know, killing a lot of people, releasing radioactive material into the surrounding area that made it uninhabitable, starting a massive fire that several firefighters sacrificed themselves to put out

[sacred field]

unless you reach the universe integer limit and loop to -2,147,000,000 (roughly)

[zenith void]

Enough that the neutrons instantly turn a drop of hydrogen into plasma and fuse it into helium

[charred spoke]

Technically? But nuclear bombs have different ways to analyze them

[harsh imp]

Yeah..

[terse marsh]

Flex tape can handle that. Too bad it wasn't invented yet

[charred spoke]

Right?

They could've tipped the control rods with that instead of ACTUAL GRAPHITE

[zenith void]

Flex tape + cardbord panels

[charred spoke]

Which was, in my opinion, in the top 5 absolute WORST design choices in the history of anything, in all the years humanoids have walked the earth

[harsh imp]

Oh

That is...

Why

Tf

[sacred field]

[charred spoke]

Not only that, the engineers on site didn't know that the control rods were tipped with graphite

[terse marsh]

Only the most trained of personnel for the USSR!

[harsh imp]

Feromones

And they use a clicking sound made with the back legs if those fail

[sacred field]

awesome, thnaks

[charred spoke]

The disaster actually occurred when an operator tried to scram the reactor (immediately insert all remaining control rods to contain the reaction) and since all the control rods were currently out for some testing, they were all inserted at once. The extra graphite all being in the reactor at the same time was what tipped it into the super prompt critical state

[harsh imp]

Ugh

[terse marsh]

Could I imagine it as:

• Reactor explodes when energy is at 100
• Reactor is currently at 99
• Inserting control rods adds +1 energy until fully inserted, then it's actually a -2
• Control rods being inserted makes energy 100, causing explosion
  ?

[charred spoke]

Reactivity, not energy, but basically yeah

[terse marsh]

Fun!

The root words in "helicopter" are not "heli" and "copter" like most people assume. Instead, the roots are "helico," meaning to spin or spinning, and "pter," for wing, like in "pterodactyl."

[tacit valley]

so a spinning bird is a helicopter?

[sacred field]

no, a spinning wing

like a b-2 spirit in a death spiral

[tacit valley]

a helicopter doesnt spin tho

only its wings do

[terse marsh]

Do you mean a flat spin? A graveyard spiral isn’t exactly “spinning”

[sacred field]

Well it sometimes it

[sacred field]

tram is good if established but hard to establish in our car society

[harsh imp]

Yea

[sacred field]

public transport is great

especially if it goes to rural areas

everywhere should be public transportable

it should be possible to get anywhere, from anywhere, for free

because also public transport should be paid for by taxes

[ruby acorn]

How are you doing on this fine night lol ?

Doesn't New Zealand have a lot of crime that is really underreported on?

[sacred field]

maybe

idk

[ruby acorn]

I don't live in the middle of nowhere like ants but it's still pretty rural, we have a bus network and it's not like there is one every 2 min, it's more like one every half an hour for the most frequent... but still, it makes life so much easier you have no idea

[tired helm]

You literally live there

How don't you know

[tired helm]

Yeah that seems helpful

[harsh imp]

If it's underreported, how would we know 🤷

[tired helm]

Well I would imagine it would be bigger news in NZ

[ruby acorn]

It is ! And in big cities like Lyon, Bordeaux or Paris, where traffic is very very heavy and jams are literally everywhere... it is very important to have the infrastructure to be able to have public transportation like metro or trams

[sacred field]

actually now i think about it christchurch has trams and recently some free solar powered electric busses too

[tired helm]

I never lived in a big city so I wouldn't know

I know St. Louis has busses and all but I think it has some bigger problems than traffic jams tbh

Like drugs and gangs and stuff

[ruby acorn]

Me neither, but even as a tourist you can see it, I don't like big cities because it's too crowded yet I still went to some because well... I had to 😢 😭 and tbh the metro systems etc are much needed to travel in the same city :3

[tired helm]

You know something I always wanted to do

Travel on a train

It looks so neat

[ruby acorn]

Busses are the first mean of transportation you will see anywhere in France and pretty much everywhere, it uses the already existing roads and can change its path etc

[ruby acorn]

It does, I don't take it often but when I do I love it.
The seats are so comfy I don’t know why even though you didn't pay for first class it's already so cool :3 and just feeling the train take the bends and tilt to the right or left to follow the curvature is very neat

[sacred field]

trains are so cool

[tired helm]

Maybe if I ever take a trip to Europe I would take trains going places

I can't see myself ever taking one otherwise

The only trains I ever been on were technically misdemeanors

[sacred field]

i'm sad we only have local trains now instead of ones which could take passengers across the entire north island

[tired helm]

But also you cannot confirm if I am kidding or serious :)

[sacred field]

trains in europe are apparently really pretty sometimes

[harsh imp]

All i'm really doing is just hearting things i agree with lmao

[tired helm]

Like the train itself?

Or the view?

[sacred field]

which makes sense, europe is pretty and trains are often given good views

[sacred field]

both

[tired helm]

Fair enough

I think planes beat out trains in both of those regards though

That being said I don't know if I am right

Could be entirely wrong since I never seen a passenger train irl

[sacred field]

no

trains have much bigger windows

in my experience

[ruby acorn]

Yeah

And we have double deckers :3

[tired helm]

That is a good point

[sacred field]

lucky

[tired helm]

I mean,
But a 747 exists

[ruby acorn]

True, but these are used to do very long flights so never seen one irl nor did I board one sooooo

[tired helm]

Fair enough

[charred spoke]

Trains are much better than planes for medium distances

Even if only for the single reason that there aren't giant security measures that you have to go through to get on one

[terse marsh]

Keep in mind that there are planes outside of the giant airliners

Tickets are more expensive, sure

[tacit valley]

There are objects that function similar to planes but are much larger

[harsh imp]

Like giant pieces of dense ice, in the perfect shape of a wing, going at supersonic speeds, generating lift, while ablatively melting?

[tacit valley]

More like giant spherical shells of ice floating atop a layer of water with a solid rocky and metallic middle

[charred spoke]

How might that fulfill the same function as a plane? 🧐

[tacit valley]

If theres no drag and very little gravity, it flies

[harsh imp]

Meh

[charred spoke]

Don't think either of those are true on earth though

[tacit valley]

Wasnt talking about "on earth"

[harsh imp]

Well
You just haven't seen one yet

[charred spoke]

Unfortunately most humans can't leave earth very easily so if a transport method is to be effective it has to service earth

[tacit valley]

"pillbug" can also refer to a different type critter which fills the exact same niche, but is a millipede

Those would be any member of the superorder Oniscomorpha, as opposed to the Armadillidiidae family (Oniscidea suborder; you will notice that the millipedes are literally named "shaped like a woodlouse" even though they aren't). Their only phylogenetic commonality is that they are arthropods.

yes, there are in fact people who have died and therefore do not have themselves on the outside of their skeleton and they don’t tend to burn up

Standing next to a detonating nuclear bomb may also substantially decrease your mass

[sacred field]

that's why i said may

if you're made out of a materiel largely unaffected by nukes, then it may make you heavier tho

[serene gorge]

I know want to meet this hypothetical nukeproof man

[charred spoke]

SPONTANEOUS USELESS FACT!
Standing next to a detonating nuclear bomb would increase the mass of even a neutron-proof, nuke-proof object, as thermal energy is equivalent to mass by a very small ratio.

[tacit valley]

MORE MASS!!!

[charred spoke]

SPONTANEOUS USELESS FACT!
A human standing 2 meters away from the detonation of the Tsar Bomba would absorb somewhere in the range of 930 terajoules of energy from the thermal radiation alone, which would increase their mass by about 10 grams, about as much as a single AAA battery.

The name Ceddy is a nickname for the actual name Cedric, which first appears in the 1819 historical romance novel Ivanhoe. The root origins of this name are unclear, but it may be a misread of Cerdic, the name of a Saxon king and the first king of Wessex, who died in 534 AD. Alternatively, it could come from the Welsh name cedrych, meaning "spectacular bounty."

Mars posesses about 800 known lava tube caves

Spontaneous useless fact

The moon has 200

Spontaneous useless fact

Mars's atmosphere is less than 1% the density of Earth's
That value drastically changes with seasons, as a large portion of the CO2 atmosphere freezes in the polar ice caps

Much more freezes in the south due to the south hemisphere being located much higher than the north, aproximately 4km

This is very likely the result of a single major impact

The borealis basin, that takes up a majority of the northern hemisphere, is only not circular because of the volcanic formation known as the Tharsis platteu. Exclusing the irregularity caused by Tharsis, the borealis basin is mostly circular, supporting the idea of it being an impact crater

Kyle do be mathin

[charred spoke]

15 Bq × 0.00001 = 0.0015 positrons/second
Wikipedia said potassium-40 positron decay emits a total of 1.5049 MeV
Therefore, one banana produces 3.616 × 10^-17 watts in positron radiation alone
Dividing 7.1 terawatts by that quantity gives 1.963 × 10^29 bananas

SPONTANEOUS USELESS FACT #181
nasa did not find life on mars
they have never talked about finding life on mars
they did talk about finding a weird rock that looks like petrified alien goop, but that isnt life, thats evidence of life

[harsh imp]

That shares all chemical, mineralogical and visual characteristics with prehistoric microbes*

Yes ofc they didn't find anything alive

It's been dead for 3bln years

What they found, is most likely a direct sign that Mars had somewhat earth-like microbes at one point.

[maiden wing]

its petrified alien goop
thats like the only way to accurately describe it
if you say something like "the minerological characteristics" then all the people with hippopotomonstrosesquipadeliophobia will run away in fear
but everyone understands what petrified alien goop means

[harsh imp]

Nonono

It's not goop

And it's not all that alien

It's similar to earth's precambrian microbial life

And it's locked in mudstone

[maiden wing]

its petrified alien goop
also it is literally the definition of alien

except not hypothetical

[harsh imp]

Yeah ik it is by definition alien
I just think this word is a bit misleading

Since it's not very exotic

[maiden wing]

bruh
you are aware that oranges are an exotic fruit
the petrified alien goop is literally from a different planet

i think that counts as exotic

[harsh imp]

"Exotic life" refers to life that works on vastly different principles than earth organisms

[cunning sable]

is there non-petrified alien goop?

[harsh imp]

No

[maiden wing]

None of that yet

[harsh imp]

Not on mars at least

[maiden wing]

True
But exotic life is also parrots

[harsh imp]

I wouldn't be surprised if Titan had some sort of exotic life

Using ethane instead of water

The sun's bright enough to do photosynthesis there

[cunning sable]

eww

we should kill it

[harsh imp]

Ethane-based plants

That's so frigin cool

I wouldn't be surprised if it used water ice as a solid cell wall

[terse marsh]

I think most of the headlines are just clickbait like usual

[harsh imp]

Iiis the official speech by the director of NASA clickbait?

[terse marsh]

I did say "most" and "headlines", Ants

If the director of NASA said there IS life on Mars, while not actually having any LIVING organisms to back it up, then yes, it is.

The correct sentence would be that there was life, and that it's possible there is life still on Mars.

[harsh imp]

No nobody said there's life on mars

There pretty certainly was life

And uhh
Yeah i see no way there could still be any

[terse marsh]

Maybe under the ice caps?

[harsh imp]

I mean it's... possible there could be some kind of underground biosphere

[harsh imp]

The ice caps are seasonal occurences

[terse marsh]

They're seasonal on Mars?

[harsh imp]

Yeah
They're mostly carbon dioxide ice

They sublimate in the summer

And Mars has too little geologic activity to have the bottom side heated

You might not know that they are a psychopath, but there is definitely at least one (statistically speaking)

[cunning sable]

I know of at least one

[harsh imp]

Uwu
That's me you're talking about

[maiden wing]

Nah it’s me

That’s it a joke btw

I’m serious

[harsh imp]

man
you ain't no psycho

[maiden wing]

I absolutely am
Might not seem like it
But I am

[cunning sable]

diagnosis?

[maiden wing]

Nah
But I think the fact that I dont like music, physical contact with other humans, care about my family, I understand probably 80% of how my subconscious works, I can basically delusion myself into thinking anything i want, and more that I can’t think of right now means that I’m probably a psychopath

“Probably a psychopath” has been my discord status for like 4 months

There we go
Just changed to definitely a psychopath

[harsh imp]

Nah that sounds valid

[maiden wing]

This is me

[charred spoke]

Sounds more like autism to me
