You are being downvoted as if your point was offensive or harmful. You are wrong, but it’s totally counter intuitive and I think this is a mistake that everyone makes when studying introductory physics. This would be correct for anything moving at relatively low speeds. But when you’re talking about light, or anything that goes so fast that “percentage of the speed of light” starts being a useful unit to describe their speed, this concept starts being a bit weirder.
This is actually the basic principle of Einstein’s theory of relativity: the speed of light (in a vacuum) is the same for all observers, regardless of their frame of reference. That means that if the laser pointer emits a laser, the light is moving away from the pointer at the speed of light. If the pointer itself is moving at a speed reeeeeally close to the speed of light… Then the laser will STILL be traveling away from the pointer at the speed of light. And if you, an observer in a frame, see the pointer moving at near the speed of light emit a laser… The laser that the laser emitted is also traveling at the speed of light from your point of view.
And there’s no wordplay here. I don’t mean that it’s light, so of course any speed it travels at is the speed of light. I mean that if you measure its speed from any reference frame, you will get around 300000000 m/s, or around 671 million miles per hour. No matter if you are also traveling at near light speed.
I have a quick question as someone not from the US. What is the general opinion that people have of Kamala Harris? Do people voting Democrat have an overall positive impression of her? Or are there people who could be disappointed with the choice?
That’s amazing!
Now give me a tip to prevent myself from opening the same app immediately after hahaha
Lmao what level are you if you can do <1? Asking for a friend
A lot of people around me tend to parrot that a lot of the safety measures are not for explosives detection, but for drug trafficking prevention. I’ve always disagreed because nobody ever presented any evidence to it, and the measures in place do come from explosive detection (unless they have metal drugs now idk). But I’ve wondered whether there is some truth to it.
I would campaign for fifteen dollars to be written as 15$. The other way around makes no sense. Dollars is the unit, and you say “fifteen dollars” and not “dollars fifteen”. That we landed on the backwards convention is a travesty.
Sure, 15$ wouldn’t get me far, but it’s a start!

Oh! I’m in the beginning stages of learning Dutch, but there were several words I didn’t know, which made me feel extra stupid. Well done!
I agree with you, but Xbox just took the Dreamcast’s layout, which means SEGA is the original culprit
If the hedgehog has the seven chaos emeralds, it can still take on the boar even with the triforce of power.
If not, then it’s more of a toss up, but we should note that there is one registered instance of the hedgehog collecting triforce pieces so my bet would still be on the hedgehog.
Easy. Just get an erection to force the metal back out.
I can’t wait to find this comment in my history after having forgotten the context.
Honest to God, Toree Saturn
I have a lot of things I’m excited for but I really can’t wait for Toree Saturn
Is it just me or is Heathcliff being more important in his strips recently? Maybe as a response to your efforts?
Your comment made me finally go there and check. Wow, the comments here and there are night and day. The most common comment on similar threads is “Norway, Spain and Ireland are showing the world that terrorism works”.
Knowing how Cyanide and Happiness comics usually go, I was sort of expecting one of them to like the licking part
So it is! I don’t know why I remembered it as kaos (καος with the accent somewhere, I don’t know Greek, modern or ancient). It’s χάος. Makes total sense.
Still think it sounds better in English!
As an extra advantage to the nose pinching trick, I no longer turn every dream into a nightmare from seeing my distorted figure in the mirror!
