k im like really high but are there more realistic ways of steering our history towards international cooperation to create a moon base with scientists from around the world, like a lunar ISS but that welcomes all nationalities. imagine the combined efforts of the american and chinese space administrations working together; scientists from japan to iran, india to south america, coordinating. i also think there should be more space laws, cuz our low earth orbit is getting trashed. maybe lasers could be used to form junkyard rings around our planet.

but i know that it's inevitable that no matter what laws there are, tourist traps and a mall will be built by neil armstrong's footprints. but i want that future where people can get an overpriced t-shirt saying something corny like "The Eagle Has Landed" with a greenscreened photo of themselves standing beside the lunar module.

anyways like, how would lyrics to a world peace song go?

Can I get French fries? How does grease work in space?

[-] loldog191@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 days ago

there's no buoyancy without gravity, so the steam evaporating from the fry creates an insulating bubble-blanket that stops it from cooking properly:

so the fryer has to be on a centrifuge, but it's better to spin at 3g than 1g cuz it fries faster and forms a crispier crust.

the steam bubbles get pulled away faster in the increased buoyancy, so there's more heat transfer. past 3g's though, steam bubbles start forming inside the french fry to make hollow holes that could potentially explode during cooking. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0963996913005929

i dont know if this is useful information that you'll ever use

cool i learned that the moon is gay and hollow, and that a lunar restaurant would hold a captive customer base

You’re such a Debbie downer bruh

sometimes life feels like a rollercoaster, but the track is in a superposition state where i'm simultaneously being pushed up and falling down and turning right and left, and all at different angles.

but as long as we all help one another, we can make each other feel like we're on a smooth train ride together, comfortably going to where we need to be.

Sometimes we have those little epiphanies in the shower.. sometimes they come from other places. This is a home for those epiphanies.
