For sure, these are nice. Just wish I could do it in both directions.

I would love the ability to swipe left to downvote. Right to upvote or vice versa. Long swipes on each side would be a major bonus as well.

Mushrooms are actually incredibly good for you. They are one of the cleanest sources of protein you can get and actually have many incredible health effects. Also, they are fucking delicious. Here's a good link to learn more. 🍄 https://youtu.be/KEa8W0OneH4

Good places to find textbooks? (lemmy.world)
 

Anyone have any advice for a nooby pirate trying to find some textbooks at the decent price of free-fiddy?

The Waveform explains the Fediverse and the protocol war (www.youtube.com)
 

Even though I'm on here, I honestly lurk most of the time and don't fully understand the activitypub vs at protocol war. This was a great explainer that will reach a lot of people. Really appreciate a lot of David's takes. I hope David and others at MKBHD become aware of and talk about Lemmy soon too.

Be Cool Even When Really Big Goblins Casually Drop Acid (lemmy.world)
 

Lemmyversers, I'm looking for some help developing a new mnemonic device.

Inspired by a video by Epic Spaceman, where he explains a handy system for comparing the size of things from a banana to an atom, I’ve come up with a mnemonic device to aid in remembering these scales.

He lists items, each smaller than the previous by a factor of 10:

It goes:

  • Banana
  • Coin
  • Edge of the coin
  • Waterbear/microorganism
  • Red blood cell
  • Bacteria
  • "Good virus"/Bacteriophage
  • Corona Virus/"Bad Virus"
  • DNA
  • Atom

So a coin is roughly 1/10 a banana, and the edge of that coin is roughly 1/10 the size if that coin.

It gives good references for thinking about other things if similar size. A sort of banana for scale at each factor of 10.

And allows you to quickly determine approximations like Covid is roughly 1000 times smaller than a red blood cell. Or an atom is roughly 1 billion times smaller than a banana. (That doesn't sound right. Is that actually right?)

Do you think that's a useful memory tool? And are these best touchstones for scale at each level?

The mnemonic I've come up with for it as you may have guessed, is:

  • Be
  • Cool
  • Even
  • When
  • Really
  • Big
  • Goblins
  • Casually
  • Drop
  • Acid

Do you have any better ideas or tweaks you"d recommend for the mnemonic or the touchstones?

Would this be helpful when trying to wrap your head around the scale of the micro?

Also, what would make for a good macro version of this? Where everything got bigger by a factor of 10?

The 3 day no poop challenge - where it all began (lemmy.world)
 

August 22nd, 2023. History occurs on Lemmy.world

I need to survive for 3 days without pooping, and eating as little as possible. I can pee, but not very often. It can’t take up too much space. What food do I pack?

OP is very much focused on answers and taking this very seriously. They mean business, about not doing their business.

But, in their steadfast preparation they make a fatal flaw...

The community gave OP their everlasting support.

Did they accomplish their goal?? I DID IT

Maybe, the journey is not at it's end yet... They asked for advice about ramen, and calcium tablets...

The community still waits with baited breath...

Godspeed, u/mizu6079 o7
