The Bloop posted:a fractional atomic number would mean like half a proton or something no, it's trivial. each half-proton simply has 1.5 quarks.

A half proton is a schrodinger's cat type device that has a proton and an antiproton inside.

I didn't notice the issue at first, had to click through to the tweet comments to find it. The Y-axis has 5.5 where 6 should be, in order to make it look more impressive

also since the growth is given as a percentage, a huge increase that follows a huge decrease the year before is not really as whelming as it seems

I thought the joke was simply that the economy rebounding after a sudden downturn has absolutely nothing the gently caress to do with who is president, and also that the rebound comes at the cost of thousands of lives of antivaxxers and covid deniers and therefore it's a bit crass to celebrate it.

Number go up means very little to the everyman. It's not connected to them. It's not for them.

Wouldn't 6% inflation functionally wipe out that GDP growth anyways? I'm assuming they don't factor that in to these calculations.

Voyager I posted:Wouldn't 6% inflation functionally wipe out that GDP growth anyways? I'm assuming they don't factor that in to these calculations. Real GDP (i.e. adjusted for inflation) did indeed grow roughly 5.7% in 2021 as compared to 2020. GDP is almost always quoted in "real" (deflated) terms. Nominal GDP (i.e. not adjusted for inflation) grew 10%. It looks like a lot of "growth" (whatever that's supposed to mean to normal people), but current real GDP is still below its pre-COVID path, so it's not so much "booming" as "still catching up". You can see the data most easily from FRED, here. Look at the general trend leading up to 2020 versus where we're at now. ShimaTetsuo has a new favorite as of 03:41 on Jan 28, 2022 |

Also I'm willing to bet that the growth is unevenly distributed, and a lot of it is stock prices of billionaires or something like that.

Oh no, don't be crass about a bunch of idiots who contributed to the loss of thousands of innocent lives before stupiding themselves to death.

BonHair posted:Also I'm willing to bet that the growth is unevenly distributed, and a lot of it is stock prices of billionaires or something like that. In specifics, I think you got it wrong - stock prices should not be included in GDP calculations. It's a measure of production and trade of actual goods and services, mostly. But in general terms, of course you're right. The GDP growth is every middle-class working-from-home American buying another xbox (or, if the already had two, a PS5, or an Oculus, or...). And it all comes delivered by guess which corporation...  - guess who got the most richer?

GWBBQ posted:They started dancing around in the water and hugging each other I figure if our, uh, circuitry is similar enough to react the same way, that means basically every complex animal on earth experiences MDMA the same way, right? To get a common ancestor between humans and octopuses surely you have to go back like "how do I feet" far.

That feet quote was a friend's response to this picture of a tiktaalik, an important species from like 300 Nikon years ago during the beginning of life on land:  Edit: Google tells me octopus first appeared...about 300 million years ago. I got way closer than I expected.

Yeah, but molluscs and vertebrates are so far apart that the last common ancestor was something a little like a flatworm more than half a billion years ago. Like, we don't even do embryonic cell division the same way.

Despite having diverged hundreds of millions of years ago octopodes and humans share huge amounts of genetic material. There's something like 69.3% genetic similarity between octopus and human eyes.
