Yup got it. In that context mega-dragon makes sense. I can’t wait until we actually understand what the hell gravity even is.

Yup. But try pulling a proton out of an atom for 2 seconds.

I was more just speaking to how it’s many orders of magnitude weaker than the other 3 forces. Though it does work on an infinite scale, so maybe it ought to be a tiny but unbelievably long vaguely dragon-shaped worm thing.

Shouldn’t gravity be like a tiny, vaguely dragon-shaped worm off in another field?

I mean messing with the strong force in a fistful of atoms gets you a nuclear bomb. Meanwhile, my old, achy self can jump up and resist against a whole earth’s worth of gravitational force.

Fried chick peas (I use cans since they’re more convenient, but even cheaper dried beans are fine too but you have to soak for 24h and then boil them first). But either way, seriously cheap, loaded with protein and fiber, and delicious:

Rinse beans and dump into a large dry pan on high heat. Move them around until they have mostly dried up and just barely start sticking to the pan. Then add oil - just once or twice around the pan is plenty - and some salt. Then let them fry in that little bit of oil. Move them with a spoon every so often to keep from sticking too much.

After about 15 min you have these golden brown crunchy and slightly salty little things. They’re great, and go with everything as a side dish.

@pmjv@lemmy.sdf.org posts fantastic, fediverse-only comics to !unix_surrealism@lemmy.sdf.org. They can be super weird and will admittedly not be for everyone, but hey isn’t that why we’re all here in the first place?

So. Much. Fucking. Litter.
