i’m sure you mean this seriously, it just tickles me.

i was literally just thinking - the cars are driving on the left and the arrows are all driving on the right 😂

nice! keep up the support!

…but it does make imports and foreign purchases a lot more expensive for regular russians.

in my interpretation of how portals work - by joining space together - moving through a portal doesn’t involve infinite speed because you haven’t moved - the portals have just changed the space you occupy.

a bit like the inertialess/ Alcubierre drive where you travel faster than light without breaking any laws because you’re not moving at all in your space, it’s just that the space you occupy changes.

in the reasoning the people hurling towards the portal only appear to do so, once they pass through the portal they’ll be as immobile as they were before entering it.

the minute physics video is fun though. love their stuff.

my brother came up with a great analogy - say you’re falling and there’s a portal below you also falling, just slightly slower than you. when you eventually fall through it - do you come out falling slowly or quickly?

it would have the be quickly. even though you and portal are moving slowly relatively to each other, your individual momentum is conserved, the movement of the portal is irrelevant.

gonna go with a - the people aren’t moving when they go in, so they won’t be moving when they come out

my MIL watches a pastor chris from the loveworld megachurch. over the years i’ve listened in on tirades about covid and depopulation eugenics, it’s all very wild and very “we are always under attack” and positively crazy.

“turns out the ukranians actually liked chernobyl, so much so that they’re probably planning on doing it again!”

no please, don’t

maths got me 😂

nah, he’s too smart for that. 4d chess. all part of the plan /s
