Do you also avoid handshakes?

[-] hakunawazo@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

With my eye? Definitely.

[-] DarkCloud@lemmy.world 31 points 1 month ago

Pretty sure you can't hold atoms that close, there's a repelling force. Something to so with the four fundamentals... Er... Strong nuclear force, weak nuclear force, electomagnetic and gravity.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 48 points 1 month ago

Then you understand the gravity of the situation.

There also aren’t little bars connecting atoms, and atoms don’t have faces. But here we are.

[-] athatet@lemmy.zip 15 points 1 month ago

But maybe what if they do have little faces and they are just shy and won’t look at the camera?

Something about quantum physics and change the outcome by looking at it? There now it's science

Sir, this is a comic strip

[-] Imgonnatrythis@sh.itjust.works 27 points 1 month ago

You are cool with the mushroom having hands though?

[-] village604@adultswim.fan 17 points 1 month ago

You can definitely hold atoms that close together, but it tends to have bad results.

[-] ivanafterall@lemmy.world 9 points 1 month ago

I'm doing it right now and it's fine.

Dude, share your cold fusion reactor and save the planet!

It's a magic mushroom.

Hehe yeah, the atoms of the separate fingers are closer than the atoms making up each finger, while I like the concept they were going for, they have accidentally made the fingers literally 'closer than' touching.

That's just fine, man

[-] Rhaedas@fedia.io 1 points 1 month ago

Feynman's Magnets and Why Questions video gets into whole "there is no touching" near the end. Right up there with Sagan's "Atoms are mainly empty space. Matter is composed chiefly of nothing." existentialism.

By your own admission, you will NEVER technically "lose it"

[-] niktemadur@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

The only things holding me back,
are the Pauli Exclusion Principle
and Coulomb's Law!

[-] thatradomguy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

why does it have finger nails... or fingers...

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 7 points 1 month ago

oh my gosh radomguy you can't ask people why they got fingers

[-] Ceruleum@lemmy.wtf 3 points 1 month ago

I'll bet they have a pancreas and a poophole as well!

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

i wouldn't go that far

[-] stupidcasey@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Technically, if those atoms touch that would be fusion and I doubt you could hold a sun in your hand.

[-] wolframhydroxide@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 month ago

No, because what is being shown here is simply the electron cloud of each atom. Two atoms with overlapping electron clouds are bonded. In order to cause fusion their nuclei must combine.

This guy fusions
