Just don't knock her up and we good

[–] Smoogs@lemmy.world 1 points 1 hour ago

Cool. Now do radon.

To be fair, the fact that most of them pass right through the earth without interacting with anything, it knowing even that much English is excellent.

I woke up really sore today. I've just heard that bastard has thousands of friends just penetrating everyone all day and all night long and in all directions.

[–] altphoto@lemmy.today 2 points 2 hours ago

Good news!

How big would a neutrinos penis be if it had one?

A neutrino is so tiny and point‑like that the idea of it having any kind of penis simply doesn’t make physical sense at all.

So its not a kink thing.

What's "pentrate", precious?

[–] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 hours ago

Neutrino's can't spell cause they don't have opposable thumbs.

This is how 2012 happened.

Anyone knows if this applies to other planets as well? For example, could neutrinos penetrate Uranus?

[–] ch00f@lemmy.world 3 points 8 hours ago

If a block of lead were a light year thick, it would have a 50% chance if blocking a neutrino.

(Something I’ve heard. Can’t look it up now)

No, because Earth is flat, it's easier for the neutrinos to make it through. But if they hit the stack of turtles, they bounce off the shells.

Do not submerge your nintendos in water, lava, or other hazards. While I can confirm they can pass through many substances they may not work properly after passing through them.

[–] FishFace@piefed.social 12 points 1 day ago

But can it easily penetrate me? I dare you to try!

[–] joyjoy@lemmy.zip 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I can't tell if this is hot or not. 

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 2 points 2 hours ago

Depends on the origin of the neutrino. The really old ones leftover from the beginning of the universe are so low-energy that they're like, a millionth of an electron volt. Very not-hot.

A supernova-originated neutrino can have over 30 mega-electron-volts. For a single particle, that's pretty hot. You still wouldn't feel it if it hit you though.

Yeah, but can it see why kids love cinnamon toast crunch?
