  • What is the hardest video game(s) in your opinion, why, and what other games are you comparing against to make this conclusion?

  • where did you know about lemmy and why did you start using it

    Jump

  • New to social media, I just Googled "social media websites" and "new social media websites" and Lemmy was on one of the lists! 😃

  • Palworld maker vows to fight Nintendo lawsuit on behalf of fans and indie developers

    Jump

  • Palworld has to be the most addicted I've ever been to a game in years, and that was back at launch in January. I'm not going to spoil anything, but they've added a ton of new things since!

  • Patenting vague game mechanics is egregious. This would be like Insomniac patenting "character runs around with a big gun" and subsequently filing a lawsuit against Nintendo for Splatoon, because both Ratchet and the Inklings run around with big guns.

  • I've seen this more than once elsewhere, and I laugh at it each time 😂

  • It's all fun and games until the copper(II) sulfate starts talking.

  • What weird false belief did you have as a kid?

    Jump

  • That my grandma's name was "grandma".

  • What would make you happy?

    Jump

  • If it turns out that the Nintendo Switch 2 can dispense coffee.

    Jokes aside, I'm already happy! What would make me even happier is getting around to finishing this drawing...soooo many hairs 😂

  • I love rice! I'll eat it as a snack often, like I'll just make some plain boiled rice (basmati and jasmine are my faves) at whatever hour and eat it at my desk. I particularly love the basmati variety because it has a nutty aroma and taste.

  • Was it my imagination that most people believed in a 9/11 conspiracy?

  • 1.

    What's the point of the government hijacking three airliners but then deciding to use a cruise missile on the Pentagon? The explosive dynamics of a cruise missile and a giant hollow tube which carries people are different and both look nothing alike.

    There was debris.

    Luck.

    Flight 93 left wreckage when it crashed. The FDR and CVR were located around 20 feet/6 meters underground. The reason the parts are small is because the plane was put into a nose dive at a steep angle and crashed with a very high amount of force.

    5.

    Coincidence. It's a building which would be one of the first targets for a major terrorist attack.

  • If you could sacrifice your life and have any wish granted, would you and what for?

    Jump

  • Yes, for a peaceful world free of war, famine, and disease.

  • Was it my imagination that most people believed in a 9/11 conspiracy?

    Jump

  • There are many people who like to fill in the gaps of things they don't understand with conspiracy theories. It takes some degree of understanding of physics to understand why the buildings collapsed in the manner that they did, why hollow aluminium airliners accelerating to extreme speeds imposed so much damage to the buildings, and also why there is typically less aircraft wreckage to be found when especially high speed crashes are involved.

    In your case, it's probably just your social circle as none of my friends believe in 9/11 conspiracy theories.

  • If you could make up a new fashion trend/aesthetic, what would it look like and what would you call it

    Jump

  • A trend that is focused on turquoise and teal colours, maybe mixed with white to represent sea foam. I would call it "Neptunian" relating to the Roman god of the ocean! 🐚

  • What movie have you rewatched the most?

    Jump

  • WALL-E

  • If you could time travel, what would you change ?

    Jump

  • I would try to prevent the Holocaust from happening.

  • How would you have felt if you hadn’t eaten breakfast?

    Jump

  • I don't eat breakfast, and I've never been a morning food person. I only have an appetite come afternoon. So to answer your question, I would feel the same as I've always felt.

  • Lemmy users, what is / are your favourite countries

  • Yup! It's so they can view what happens when these particles collide as the collisions happen, using specialized detectors. The ATLAS detector at CERN weighs 7,000 tons and is huge.

    These reactions in the atmosphere happen very fast and are a bit chaotic. When a primary cosmic ray hits an atom in our atmosphere, it then sets off a chain reaction similar to billiard balls, resulting in "air showers", which are cascades of subatomic particles, such as hadrons, photons, muons, electrons, as well as ionized nuclei. The colliders allow physicists to view these kinds of reactions under controlled conditions right as the reactions happen, and can adjust things such as the energies. There's an array of detectors in Argentina which can detect the particles released by an air shower
