if that’s true about it being a measure of time then what makes it different from a regular year

― the late great, Thursday, 17 August 2023 02:27 (three years ago)

525,600 light years

― earosmith (Neanderthal), Thursday, 17 August 2023 02:30 (three years ago)

Isn't it the measure of the movement of light through spacetime?

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 17 August 2023 02:31 (three years ago)

how do you measure
a light year in the life

― earosmith (Neanderthal), Thursday, 17 August 2023 02:31 (three years ago)

it’s just the distance it travels in a year

― the late great, Thursday, 17 August 2023 02:31 (three years ago)

Exactly, through the three spatial dimensions and the dimension of time.

― immodesty blaise (jimbeaux), Thursday, 17 August 2023 02:32 (three years ago)

Or the who knows how many spatial dimensions.

how about love

― earosmith (Neanderthal), Thursday, 17 August 2023 02:33 (three years ago)

you don’t need to overcomplicate it by bringing in relativity. just remember light moves at a fixed pace, so the distance it travels in a fixed amount of time (365.25 days, for example) is also a fixed amount

why light moves at a fixed pace? why that pace appears not to change even if we move toward or away from the light? ok now you need to drag in e&m and relativity

― the late great, Thursday, 17 August 2023 02:36 (three years ago)

Also why nothing moves faster than light

It's the strongest force

coffee also

light in a metallic waveguide travels faster than light in free space. but if you modulate it to send information, the modulated light travels more slowly than in free space, making this fact and post useless.

ikr fascinating stuff, and yet also it also takes electrons in your car battery three hours to reach your headlights.

better maybe to think about this stuff like turning on a mile long hose, if there's already water in the hose then it comes out instantly the other end (ok not really it propagates at speed of sound iirc) but that doesn't mean the water from the faucet is traveling at the speed of sound down the hose

dont make me tap the sine

good god do I wish we could store light like water in a hose

― actual veggie mexican pizza received (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 17 August 2023 18:49 (three years ago)

it sounds like you might be interested in buying a dreamcatcher i can direct you to my etsy

― the late great, Thursday, 17 August 2023 19:10 (three years ago)

what if i told you that we COULD store light like water in a hose

introducing hose of light

light hose aka the LÖSE, rhymes with nose

Lately, I'm getting the feeling that I came in at the end. The best is over.

You never know, though, Guns 'n' Roses might release their best record yet!

― Halfway there but for you, Friday, 18 August 2023 00:32 (three years ago)

Don't stop believing.

I like gross things made delicious, like:

Grappa: a vomit belch
Natto: a booger when you’re sick
Papaya: tasty poo
Oyster: a huge load from a dead guy

remove one piece of chicken from an almost perfect chicken plate ...

stunned that imago has yet to shit on everyone polling their top 50 albums

(not that he would dare to do so with fgti)

(and tbf it is a bit much)

― mookieproof, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 04:12 (three years ago)

lol, i did consider, then reject, some sort of parody

― imago, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 06:56 (three years ago)

oh wait fuck what's happened overnight

maybe once we get to 50 lists we can have a poll for which list is best

― the world is your octopus (Camaraderie at Arms Length), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 07:46 (three years ago)

Is this going to be the week that ILM is completely unreadable? If so, suits me I suppose because I have stuff I need to get done.

I'll take these polls over having the same 15 dad rock threads at the top all the time

the world needs more harmless diversions right now

i haven't opened any of them except calz's but can only imagine the contents of them

Time for NV to reinstate his 'What makes a man start polls?' board name prefix

― MaresNest, Tuesday, 22 August 2023 11:01 (three years ago)

I was actually going to do a poll today based on the best selling album in the UK in 1975 and one of the few albums my mum owned, "The Best of the Stylistics", but when I checked the tracklist it didn't have half the songs on it I thought it had.

― Monthly Python (Tom D.), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 11:17 (three years ago)

i feel like we've done that one before? but yeah the Stylistics's catalogue is broken up over a few labels i think

― you're a sick man, Buddy Rich (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 11:18 (three years ago)

anyway the Stylistics fucking rule

― you're a sick man, Buddy Rich (Noodle Vague), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 11:18 (three years ago)

Nah, the poll's never been done. They've got too many good songs to fit on a single (vinyl) album tbh.

― Monthly Python (Tom D.), Tuesday, 22 August 2023 11:20 (three years ago)

... when I say good I mean GREAT.
