      President Dwayne Elizondo Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho did seem more entertaining at least then the circus we’ve had for the last few years. At least we can look forward to that?

      Plus Ow! My balls! Does seem like some good tv.

      Festering pit of misinformation it is. And yes, they’ll ban you for calling it out or correcting the record.

          I… don’t think they can refuse to delete your account. You could straight up file a GDPR request.

    You can melt anything. An egg will burn first. Then you will get some type of rendered carbon ash. Which will, eventually, melt and/or vaporize with enough heat.

      I would argue that it's no longer 'egg' once it's carbon ash and therefore never melted before it's existence ended.

      Eggs are primarily comprised of colloidal suspension.

      Colloids cannot melt, as they are not in a solid phase

      Which raises an interesting question: what if you cooked it in a zero oxygen environment (say argon, nitrogen, or carbon dioxide… basically welding gases because they're mostly inert). I can't burn in that context, so does it melt? Or do you drive off all the volatiles and are just left with carbon anyway?

        If you heat carbon based stuff without oxygen a process called pyrolysis happens. It separates the components into their molecules and molecules into smaller molecules with less weight. During this process you can gain different materials.

        Not sure what kind of products are possible with the pyrolysis of egg + welding gases though lol

        If you heat carbon in a vacuum (via radiation) you can get melted carbon!

          If you heat carbon in a vacuum, it sublimates straight to gas. If you heat it under extreme pressure in an inert gas atmosphere, then it can melt. Unfortunately creating such pressures in the lab is only possible with diamond anvil presses, which are themselves carbon and thus tend to sublimate from the heat, resulting in pressure vessel failure. Doing the experiment on the surface of a neutron star would work, but presents some other difficulties.

      Well, for eggs, that are carbon based, you will in fact have problems since carbon doesn't have a liquid state at regular atmospheric pressure. I guess you can add pressure, but is that really what we mean when asking a question if something melt?

      Melting is a physical process that changes the form and aggregation state of a thing, but it still remains that thing. Melted gold is still gold, for example.

      Burning on the other hand is a chemical process that leads to new “things”. The egg isn’t longer an egg.

      Ublacklist Firefox plugin.

      Add quota Add pinterest

      Make the internet a little less shit

      You can find some blacklist subs on GitHub too if you want to blanket filter out a lot of the other shit (like alternative.to and other bulk targeted result sites)

    You can freeze an egg and you can melting it again by putting it in a stove or microwave or just anything with temps above 0° C. Context matters and that human seems to blindly assume one specific context.

    It’s kind of ridiculous how we went from AI being mostly scifi and DeepDream, to every journalist expecting that AI has to be 100% correct all the time and be able to answer all the questions correctly. Of course AI will make mistakes when it was trained on incorrect data, that happens, that’s what humans do all the time. AI stands for artificial intelligence, not magic.

      Yes but we generally don’t want AI to answer questions like evil genies.
