Pretty much everything that’s not totally inert produces heat, but the point (they claim!) is that these newfangled doodads don’t generate power using that heat.

So far we’ve mainly been generating power with more and more ingenious ways of heating up water.

Ah, it happens.

One time when I was still with my ex partner I meant to text them “hey remember to buy some salt from the store” and I accidentally typed “you motherfucker you’ve ruined my life” instead

On a semi-related note, I was actually radioactive for a few days once, after I got my thyroid nuked.

What was cool was that it turned out that regular 'ol camera CCDs (like the one in your cell phone) can detect alpha particles, so I naturally pressed my phone to my neck in a dark room and got this video. Those tiny white “flashes” you see are actually all alpha particles (video in a spoiler block so it doesn’t take up half the screen at least on lemmy-ui):

I verified it by taking more video with the phone away from my body – no flashes!

Wasn’t there something about a US supermarket chain looking into something similar too? I vaguely remember running into a post on Lemmy

Also, this explains why the Indian Arjun main battle tank has an ammo type called 120 mm Penetration Cum Blast

I lost all respect for a friend of mine after he went down the Jordan Peterson rabbit hole. How anyone can think that man is worth listening to is completely beyond me

And a respectable fraction of him

Didn’t cry about it when we got told how nobody is a “real goth” anymore and everybody is just a filthy poser, but that is what got you all upset?

How about you fold your opinion so it’s full of sharp edges and shove it up your pooper?

Like, accidentally or on purpose?

Or the one about how he got twisted into a knot

One of my favorite mispronounciations comes from the joke how there’s 5 words in the English language with “meow” in them:

meow
meows
meowing
meowed
homeowner

I’m a happy ho-meow-ner

Kiddo’s middle aged – just not one to whine about language changing like it always fucking has
