No Stupid Questions
No such thing. Ask away!
!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules (interactive)
Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.
All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.
Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.
Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.
If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.
Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.
If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Everything is fine.
Brain injuries from what? It's been established that 4 G's can't cause brain-bleeds. 4 G's is average for a rollercoaster. Some even go up to 6 yet these 6 G rollercoasters aren't causing brain-bleeds.
Keyword here is "allege".
So this is disingenuous, the whipping motions that the riders experience on the x2 are much different than the higher g shockwave https://rollercoaster.fandom.com/wiki/Shock_Wave_(Six_Flags_Over_Texas)
You can see the way the track is designed, the riders are pushed down and back into the seats with a gradual increase in force on the highest g loop.
I'd agree with you that 4gs isn't enough to harm a healthy adult, but the attraction has a responsibility to provide an accurate presentation of the risk and should account for riders that unknowingly are at risk. If they aren't accounting for riders that have an invisible abnormality, they shouldn't operate the ride.
There's no marketing material on these rides that say "only ride if you do not have any abnormal cardiovascular physiology" and if they did I'd wonder what kind of screening they expect their riders to pass.
Where did you study neuroscience? I'd love to hear more about your credentials and expertise on the topic.
You don't have to study neuroscience to realize that higher G rollercoasters aren't tearing people's brains open and 4 G's is merely average for a rollercoaster.
Okay then, where did you get your advanced physics degree? I want to understand your qualifications.
