pov: incel with physics education from wikipedia imagines what it'd be like to talk to a woman
Still salvageable.

'Yes mistress. I am stupid filth, mistress. Please teach me more."
- Knowing Dommes that would work for some but you better at least be able to demonstrate a decent capacity in some stem branch. Engineering is a mixed bag because it’s great for degradation scenes but it is often a yellow flag
  
  Degradation scenes? Wtf is that?
  
  What do you mean by yellow flag?
This makes me want to file a feature request with @dessalines@lemmy.ml about Lemmy supporting L^AT_EX.
- It already has trouble with regular code blocks.
For those who dont understand the equation, E = Energy, specifically Kenetic Energy in this case, p = momentum, which is determined by mass and velocity, and m = mass. You wanna know something else? a^2 + b^2 = c^2 is the same fucking thing as E^2 = p^2 + m^2.
- So it's all just Pythagoras?
  
  Always has been
- I was staring at this too long lol
  
  broken markdown
Did... She just set the speed of light to 1?
- This isn't uncommon in lots of physics calculations where you are working at the same scales a lot and its cumbersome to keep carrying the constants around and it adds risk of making a mistake.
  
  Think of it as assuming you are working in a system of units where you measure all your speeds relative to the speed of light. So rather than saying the speed limit of a road is 30mph you would say its .000000045c.
- She's measuring distances in light-seconds. Then the speed of light is 1 light-second per second
- 1 what? Cucumber per nanosecond?
  
  1 speed of light of course.
  
  Light-second per second
  
  Actually, yes. Light travels about 30cm in a nanosecond, around the size of a cucumber.
  
  Is there another way to measure the speed of light?
- It's just a number, and all units are relative. So if you set it to 1 and make sure the equation still is valid it doesn't matter.
  
  It is matter, though.
- Just use the only practical unit of length, "lengthunit", which is equal to 299792458 meters (whatever those are...) times the only practical unit of time, "time unit", divided by a "second" (whatever that is...).
  
  A "second" is the 2nd division of an hour.
I'm not saying she's fast, but she gets around faster than a photon
- She must be a satanist, then. She has negative mass.
  
  Or she's an electron in some medium, travelling faster than the local speed of light
So she’s a classical kind of girl?
Take my very energetic upvote
- Did you upvote this while at rest?
  
  Best I can do is an inertial reference frame
uhmmm ahcktually its E²=m²c⁴+p²c²
- Thank God for natural units
I think the "her" in this meme must be Angela Collier.
Energy as a form of momentum
I have literally never heard a smart person ever say "degenerate" unless to refer to the fact the word originates from Nazi Germany.

spoiler

(not in the mathematical context, smartass. When used to refer to things in a negative connotation. They're the ones who pioneered that)
girl spinning so fast homey's frames be dragging
