This is why you should respond to people saying stuff sucks by saying "nah, it's actually bad [unlike getting your dick sucked]". There's a lot of these more key homophobic ways of calling things bad that should be changed to meaning they're good.
For example, I just got screwed at my job: I got a raise because my boss likes my work. Getting screwed implies the speaker, originally mostly men, getting hosed. And last I checked, having sex is a good thing.

I had a co-worker years ago who emigrated to Australia from Poland in the mid-90s. He spoke English but didn't know the idioms well. He was leaving work on a Friday afternoon to go get some beers and bumped into another worker who had just been called to an emergency shutdown of one of their plants. He said "oh that's no good, well I'm off for a beer!", to which the reply was a joking "ahh get hosed". He replied "yeah you too, hope we all get laid this weekend!"

edit: look at that snipe. Here, have a selection from the vault.

The dick was assumed

“Sucks” was a huge deal in the ‘90s, especially in newspaper comics for some reason. I know at least one Zits strip was pulled or censored because it was said by the teenage protagonist.

Also there was recently a discussion about the homophobic/misogynist roots of swears like this in one thread or another, and I think we all agreed that “second-rate cocksucker” was both gender-neutral and pro-blowjobs.

That one seems more tenuous. I mean, a pain in the arse is when something's annoying, right? It's not exactly like "ugh, buttfucked again, how annoying".

It's the behavior of particles when observed and unobserved.

Unless you didn't know what the other thing means, in which case it's a Key & Peele sketch and/or a Brooklyn Nine Nine reference.

"observing" is more complicated than "looking at it" (outside of funny jokes about the idea like this one), which has lead to a lot of bad interpretation of quantum physics

The following is a gross over-simplification that the true physics nerds would get angry about if they see me use it but I think it's a decent way to make sense of this as a layman if you don't care about digging further:

The experiment is not about observation, it is about particle interaction. There doesn't need to be a human observer or anything.

If the experiment is done "in the dark" one pattern appears on the board.

However if you "observe" it, that is, if you put a light on it so you can see what is going on, you are effectively shooting light particles at the particles that are going through the slit. And the other pattern appears. This is really not all that weird, since light particles have a similar amount of energy as the particles you're using for the experiment, so it makes sense that they affect each other somehow.

If you like to know more, such as all the ways in which the above explanation is wrong or incomplete, feel free to ask the experts in the physics thread.

Yeah it’s only mystical because pop culture mischaracterizes it in a way that makes it mystical.

There is no way to gain information about a system without disrupting that system in some way. This only practically matters on a sub-microscopic level. Technically I can’t observe the pitch of a baseball without turning on a light or hitting it with RADAR, but it’s of little consequence because the baseball is so big that the interactions hardly do anything to its trajectory.

It’s like the laws of thermodynamics telling you that you can’t get energy from nothing, and no, that really clever idea your uncle had about magnets and mercury is no exception.
