ridiculous thought experiments in physics
sometimes you just need to demonstrate to people unfamiliar with special relativity that you can't just break the speed of light by putting the entire energy budget of the universe into 1 (one) electron https://awoo.space/media/-x2gnUsVuCBYSd4iz_Q
Further positivity graphics? Idk
Like if u can't be stopped, share to remind a friend to not let anyone stop them?
vaguely warm take
honestly if there's one thing I hate about most implementations of "realism" is that it's always just to reduce diversity, color nad just... the whole vibrancy to things that makes it all enjoyable to begin with
like truth is often much stranger than fiction and it's perfectly possible to get super weird while still staying well within the bounds of our universe, embrace that shit
embellish it, even

sci-fi worldbuilding guide progress
"Anomaly" here being the angle of the world to its orbit at 90° away from periastron.
The dashed line, in addition is a representation of temperature swings due to eccentricity; divide the values you get from this by 45, multiply by the average temperature of your world to get a rough idea of how big these will be before worldwide climatic effects.
Dick around with the sliders to see what happens, use it for your projects I guess~
sci-fi worldbuilding guide progress
Actually did by far most of the work on this last night save for a very quick update just now, but here's a thing that'll also be featured in the guide I'm working on~
https://www.desmos.com/calculator/bpkpr3wrxu
It's essentially a universal solar altitude calculator. Values are in degrees, orange curve is height at solar noon, the blue one is height at solar midnight. For the values:
L = latitude
T = axial tilt
P = orbital period
E = eccentricity
A = anomaly
upsides of writing long and convoluted sci-fi guide: learning tons of new shit myself along the way, picture ideas, maybe inspiring others if it gains some traction???????
downsides: I'll be peachy damn keen not writing about all this again for the next few years lmao https://awoo.space/media/vnjzmv_IwH_k2tcj4kQ
music
y'know I've kinda been wondering about how to do musical notation in text and since masto actually gives you enough characters to make this work: musicians of mastodon, can y'all make any sense whatsoever of this:
C'8 -8 C'8 A8 -8 C'8 -8 C'8 -8 B8 -8 G8 -8 G'8 -16 G'8 -16 E'8~C8 -8 C'8 A8 -8 C'8 -8 C'8 -8 B8 -8 G8 -8 F'8 -16 F'8 -16 E'8~
numbers = note length
- = pause
' after note letter = octave up
~ = slide
