That’s “I Love Amy”, isn’t it?

This but unironically. I want to be able to shape shift at will

I was thinking Mandalorian

It doesn’t get destroyed, it just splits into smaller things. Decay chains contain a number of reactions, which involve emission of a particular “particle”: alpha particle (helium nucleus), beta- particle (electron), beta+ particle (positron) or gamma particle (photon), accompanied by stuff like neutrinos and antineutrinos. Thus a radioactive sample “loses” mass and energy. You can also have nuclear fission, where a heavy nucleus splits into smaller nuclei.

This isn’t the full scope of nuclear reactions (there’s stuff like electron capture, proton/neutron emission, etc.), but it should explain the problem at hand.

Edit: obviously half-life doesn’t mean after that time sample shrinks in half, it means half of the original isotope remains while half has decayed. There would be lead and unstable decay products in the sample still. Radioactive isotopes don’t decay to nothing, they decay to stable isotopes.

It is a wish fulfillment fantasy most of the time, that’s why I really appreciate series which go out of their way to deconstruct that aspect of the genre, like Re:Zero or Tate no Yuusha no Nariagari. Especially Re:Zero, which shows what would actually happen if you put a shut-in NEET loser otaku into a fantasy world.

This is a way for shitty writers to justify infodumping in their story. If your main character doesn’t know shit about the world he just got put into, you can justify every other character dumping a huge load of setting and world building down his ear canal. Instead of, like, trying to mix that info naturally into the story, which also avoids the “as you know, John…” trope (where character A explains something to character B that they already should know), but requires effort and skill on the part of the author.

You could present those guys with a supermodel or the fucking platonic ideal of a woman and they would go “that’s 7.1 at most, stop overrating”

Including yourself, clearly. Nice touch with the casual misogyny btw

I can’t even imagine what kind of horrible person I’m in your head for you to take a common expression and make this shit up. The type of people I was talking about were morons like Bench Appearo, Dim Fool and the guy who punched that firefighter, and left wing commentators are probably gonna respond to them. It’s just kinda annoying when every single commentary/polital youtuber talks about the same piece of media at the same time. No need for you to get fired up over my personal pet peeves.

Well, I just asked because I was curious why people are talking about it, I’m not interested in the movie itself.

Every few months people will get raved up about something I couldn’t give less of a fuck about and for about a month the internet becomes hell as everyone talks about this thing, from general topic podcasts to political streamers, etc. It was like that with the stupid purple hitler marvel movies, Squid Game, Arcane, etc.

Since it’s somewhat political a number of people are bound to get their panties twisted in a bunch so hell will probably continue for the foreseeable future.

I’m gonna be honest, I have no idea what’s up with the whole Barbie movie thing. Why would any person over the age of 7 care about it? Why is the whole internet obsessed over it? Genuine question

How would we know if she’s chubby from that angle?

I popped my eyes out of my skull, submerged them in bleach for 30 minutes and underwent electroshock therapy by sticking a particularly wet fork into a power outlet, just to completely erase this image from my mind and retinas.

Just buy rockets then, why go the extra mile and invent and finance a mind projector just to get regular rocket launch codes? That’s less Bond villain and more Dr. Doofenshmirtz

Why would a spy/agent know launch codes for nukes? Kidnap Sunak or sth

Kilovolts per footlong sandwich

Honestly no, but even if that were the case my life is so boring compared to stuff you read about in history, I find it far more interesting to remember others’ stories from the past than be self-centered and ruminate on minor things in my life.

I want the high speed rail. Whatever that means

I’m 5/8 of those things
