  • Static discharge has a high amperage as well, but it lasts nanoseconds, plasma globes and tesla coils are way too high of a frequency to disrupt heartbeat. people want a simple thing, but electricity is not simple.

    lethality of electricity means some amount of energy was dumped in a certain time-range, in a form that is disruptive to muscle function. any of that missing, and you’re either fine, or cooked from the inside depending on the current.













  • there’s some quantum versions of algorithms that scale better than the digital version. ranging from quadratic to exponential speedup. Notably very fast at breaking currently widely used encryption. We are only saved by the fact quantum computers don’t have the required processing power to be feasible to use yet.

    There’s some encryption algos that are thought to be resistant against quantum attacks but due to the above this isn’t actually proven yet, so currently any “post-quantum encryption” is currently a marketing buzzword with nothing behind it.


  • sure, but at that point you can just use any arbitrary unit if all you need to do is keep it in a rough ratio. the SI system is useful because it’s standardized, allows for precision, and you can easily convert units. A liter is a decimeter cubed, try doing that with feet and gallons.

    but yeah, i agree people would benefit from more straightedge and compass construction skills instead of trying to read the milimeters of a measuring tape that’s not even guaranteed to be straight
