  • Found something, they don’t mention these physicist sticking their head in the beam but this probably points to the origin of the story.

    I’m not misremembering what my professor said, I even remembered the years (1930s) correctly. To quote him more accurately he said “a lot of early particle physicist damaged their vision because they would stick their head on a particle accelerator to check if they had a beam going” and then he proceeded to mimick the motion of dunking his head down bobbing his head back and forth pretending to intercept a beam with his temples.











  • Personally I see it as politicians that pay lip service to social causes while being corporate capitalist shills. Amazon, Google and other corporations are all bigger than ever, fleecing the employees and gouging the customers while holding a monopoly on essential services.

    Sorry im worked up, but being sincere for a second, was there an attempt by Biden to break up these megacorp? And to stop price gouging? And increase pay to prioritize workers instead of share holder value?

    I still believe that democrats are better for the workers than Republicans. And Trump will absolutely wreck the economy. But the democratic party has only done the bare fucking minimum
