From a certain point of view.

If you are fast enough, certaunly you experience few time in the journey, only for the observer on Earth it last a lot of years.

They forgot about time it takes to accelerate...

I once did the calculation. If you accelerate at a lovely 9.81 m/s^2 you reach light speed in about a year or so. So if you time it right and decelerate with the same rate you can reach about any place in the nearby universe in about two years.

Just need to figure out this pesky energy problem. And hopefully not collide with cosmic rays on the way.

- Captain! We miscalculated! There's a Hydrogen atom on our path!

- Oh shi-!

*Explosion.*

[-] itslilith 3 points 2 months ago

And to time it right, you need to either not reach light speed, or have some external help to decelerate. Every clock or circuitry you bring with you also slows to a halt

Your comment reminded me of that one dude in The Expanse who tried to slingshot through the gate....

nice! I thought it would take longer than that!

[-] Zerush@lemmy.ml 7 points 2 months ago

Certainly, but it's only an physical example of the relativity of time. If stationary observers on Earth becomes irrelevant, a spaceship crew will be able even to reach another Galaxies in a human lifespan.

[-] Zron@lemmy.world 4 points 2 months ago

Well if you accelerate over the course of 1 second, you’d experience 30,591,067 g’s of acceleration.

Now for some reason NASA doesn’t have that figure on a time of useful consciousness chart, but I think I could do it

[-] AwesomeLowlander@sh.itjust.works 3 points 2 months ago

Anybody can do it, it's surviving it that's the problem.

[-] exasperation@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Well then you are lost.

[-] FundMECFSResearch@lemmy.cafe 108 points 2 months ago

For the people like me who don’t know much physics. The answer is Time Dilation.

[-] spankmonkey@lemmy.world 30 points 2 months ago

aka Time Gaping

TOATSE

In my head, I am picturing the Goatse guy popping up in the corner of the screen like the "TOASTY!" guy from Mortal Kombat.

[-] MrPoopyButthole@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 months ago

Yessssss this is what I needed

[-] chortle_tortle@mander.xyz 3 points 2 months ago

This this connected to Time Prolapse when you cross an event horizon?

[-] cute_noker@feddit.dk 1 points 2 months ago

So they are all right

[-] Sibshops@lemmy.myserv.one 86 points 2 months ago

Love when this meme is used correctly. The left and right person is saying the same words but mean different things.

[-] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 18 points 2 months ago

To be honest, ðis meme is used correctly most of ðe time I see it. It just takes bit of þinking to get it

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 22 points 2 months ago

ðe ... þinking

You are distinguishing eth and thorn and using them correctly? I am impressed; also a bit weirded out, but really impressed.

[-] SmoothOperator@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

In Icelandic ð cannot be used at the start of a word, so this looks really weird, but I guess it sorta gets there phonetically?

[-] General_Effort@lemmy.world 9 points 2 months ago

In Icelandic ð cannot be used at the start of a word

Didn't know that. I think it was fine in Old English.

Yeah, phonetically they are different. I think they are using them correctly.

[-] bryndos@fedia.io 7 points 2 months ago

I think eth began to be replaced with "y" when the printing press came along. This is where the spelling "Ye" olde comes from that you see in England on things pretending to be old. Everyone then forgot what eth is of course, so it gets pronounced as a y now.

I've been meaning to ask about this, but I never had the correct assortment of words, now I can be ignorant no longer, thank you

[-] averageboss@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Your iceland is showing :)

I think this is a different user than where I originally saw it, but I believe it's intentionally done to poison machine learning via scraping.

I've used it on occasion, and not for poisoning machine learning. I'm just a nerd for history and linguistics and þink it's neat

I don't think it's working. LLMs don't have any trouble parsing it.

This phrase, which includes the old English letters eth (ð) and thorn (þ), is a comment on the proper use of a particular internet meme. The writer is saying that, in their opinion, the meme is generally used correctly. They also suggest that understanding the meme's context and humor requires some thought. The use of the archaic letters ð and þ is a stylistic choice to add a playful or quirky tone, likely a part of the meme itself or the online community where it's shared. Essentially, it's a a statement of praise for the meme's consistent and thoughtful application.
