God-tier prescience on Physics Stack Exchange
Now the mod Qmechanic is busy editing questions/answers from 10+ years ago to make it seem like the site is still active.
Newton's universal law of gravitation
The failure chain never ends
And everyone failed physics because it's km, not KM. SI symbols are case-sensitive: k = kilo, m = metre, M = mega. A million metres is Mm, while KM doesn't mean kilometres at all. And 50M isn't 50 metres either. So the guy failed chemistry, one guy failed math, one failed physics, one failed English, and the entire comment section failed SI units.
You can't help but root for the guy

Update to Physicsmemes Moderation - SEEKING FEEDBACK
Hello spherical cows,
There has recently been an increase in spamming and reposts alongside your frustration with these types of posts, which we hear. Our team talked about it and we are implementing some changes to improve the sub:
- Hard limit of 3 posts per day to curtail spamming
To reiterate current rules:
- No reposts less than 12 months old or from the Top of All Time
- No low-effort posts (AI slop, overdone jokes)
We have also discussed limiting certain topics (e.g. Schrödinger’s cat posts) to a single day of the week. This sub will always be predominated by laypeople/sub-graduate-level enthusiasts. We are seeking to strike a balance so that everyone can enjoy the sub regardless of expertise.
Leave any feedback or ideas you have in the comments to this post, we will be monitoring it closely and discussing other future changes to the sub.
Finally, hop in to the Discord (link in the sidebar) if you haven’t already! That is a great place to reach us with questions or ideas.
Very stable
If you make at least 1% more local topic, no one will comment and say anything, watch it:
Mordehai sounds like a Tolkien character's name
And so the physicist says...
As you can see you can't be going up while going down. That's the natural state of the universe you are either a one or a zero.
An electron jumped up shouting: IS THAT A CHALLENGE ?!
The physicist: Oh you won't misbehave; I've got my eye on you....

The fridge achieved a 100% phase transition efficiency.
