Aviation and space stuff.
Primarily because I’ve been using it for much longer than Chrome has been a thing so I’m used to it. But Google’s shenanigans are also a factor.

This is technically possible. The cosmic microwave background, i.e. space, is extremely cold (barely above absolute zero) so it basically acts as a heatsink you can pump infinite amounts of heat into. It turns out that if you can make the food radiate heat out into space and prevent it from absorbing more heat from sunlight, it’s possible to cool it below ambient temperature. This is also a completely passive process so it requires no electricity or other form of active energy input.
The problem with this is that doing it with food might be impossible. At the moment, we can only really do it using objects with special coatings that have been optimized for this purpose.
Here’s a couple interesting videos that explain how it works:
Diggy diggy hole!
You conveniently left out the definition of “good” so you can move the goalposts if you don’t like the answers you get.
Nope. AirPods.
I have history turned on and it generally recommends stuff I’m interested in. My only complaint is that it doesn’t update often enough and likes to recommend videos I’ve seen already.
Yep. 27, Finland. I learned on a manual (in the EU, if you learn on an automatic, you’re restricted to automatics only until you pass the driving exam in a manual) and drove manuals until a few years ago when my late grandma’s health started declining and her car got passed down to us because she could no longer drive.
Building basic flying machines.
Nope. At best, religion is a fairytale created for those who are uncomfortable with ignorance, and at worst, it’s a tool to control gullible people.
This is tax money funding toys for the parasitic criminal billionaires.
What an idiotic and short-sighted take. Research on supersonic aerodynamics is useful for far more than just toys for billionaires. Military applications, rocketry and astrophysics, for example. And even regular commercial aviation, because supersonic shockwaves are a major source of drag even at the speeds airliners fly at. Airlines would kill to have a fleet of planes that burn a few percent less fuel.
E: Also, much of the noise an airliner makes during takeoff comes from the sonic booms created by the engine fan blades going supersonic.
VOODOO 1, VIPER’S ON STATION. YOUR JOURNEY ENDS HERE, PILOT. THE SKIES BELONG TO ME. NOWHERE TO RUN, NOWHERE TO HIDE.
What difference does it make if the temperature is 79 or 80 F? That’s a difference of about half a Celsius, and as a Celsius user, I can tell you that I don’t plan my daily life based on a half a degree difference, or even a one degree difference; 5 degree precision is almost always enough.
You pass out, and then you wake up with no memory of anything that happened in the meantime.
That is, unless they messed up the dosage and allowed you to regain consciousness. It happened to me once as a kid, I had to have a tooth removed but I was so scared that they had to put me under, but I woke up briefly during the operation and I remember the surgeon giving me nitrous oxide (I think that’s what it was, because it had this sweet smell and taste) with a mask and telling my mom (who was in the operating room), “let’s turn this down a little bit so we don’t pass out too”. Then I passed out again and woke up in the recovery unit.
I hope you realize that floating objects generally orient themselves in such a way that the most buoyant parts are at the top. So while you could float around, you would be hanging by your balls the entire time…
