@niss i dunno the only time it's ever been a consideration for us is how it's the asynchronous assignment operator in VHDL
-F

@niss but you say "less than or equal to" not "equal to or less than"

they're in the order you would type them
-F

@iBolt07 it's always made us really uncomfortable for hard-to-articulate reasons (probably relating to mysophobia)
-F

@owashii@plush.city @Lotherme @heatherhorns oh i didn't realize you weren't serious, felt like you were getting upset at us
-F

@owashii@plush.city @Lotherme @heatherhorns i'm only trying to make the joke work
-F

@owashii@plush.city @Lotherme @heatherhorns maybe the dragon has poison or steel as their tera type then
-F

@owashii@plush.city @Lotherme @heatherhorns dragon calls in their friend revavroom (a steel/poison type) to take care of it
-F

@LexYeen it's probably going to need new math to figure it out though
-F

@LexYeen oh yes also also despite being probably the same thing, our best current explanation of gravity (general relativity) and our best current explanation of literally everything else (quantum electrodynamics and quantum chromodynamics) just flat out *do not* play well together. as in, trying to do the math spits out things that are blatantly nonsensical and i don't mean huge numbers i mean actual nonsense, nothing converges, infinities everywhere
-F

@LexYeen Maybe it already has! inside an event horizon, time swaps places with the spatial dimension pointing inward towards the black hole. does that mean every black hole is another universe that's formed from ours? maybe! i have no idea, cosmology is weird
-F

@LexYeen or maybe time didn't start and was going before then too, in some vastly different form. who knows! lots of physics kind of breaks when you bring zeroes or infinities into it. Maybe time will change again at some point in the future.

-F

@LexYeen also the fact that electromagnetism and the weak force are actually the same thing. and it's suspected the strong force and gravity are also actually the same thing, it's just that the universe hasn't been hot enough for them to be the same thing since a femtosecond or two after time started
-F

@fluffy Here's hoping it's an easy fix, though grounding issues never are
-F

@LexYeen the alt text on https://xkcd.com/1489/ is just, emblematic of how *weird* physcis is
-F

@fluffy yeah something weird's going on there
-F

@LexYeen relativistic effects are also why mercury is liquid!
-F

@LexYeen Is this in response to something in particular?
-F

@Kyresti I remember you being a seadragon! It's a little weird to think of you as not a canid now, though
-F

this one feels like the kind of thing that has a really obvious answer??

though i guess it maybe wouldn't be obvious for anyone just learning the periodic table now? considering that now it "looks finished" with the latest additions of nihonium through oganesson filling out an entire period

-F/R

@TobySocks @LexYeen Oooh, I didn't vote write-in but i could see them as an obstagoon.
