Narrator: She did, in fact, take no for an answer.

This might be heresy, but I feel like saying that "science isn't truth, it's the search for truth", and "if you disagree it's not a disagreement, you're just wrong" is internally inconsistent.

To all the people downvoting: "Law of Attraction" is not a lay person's way of saying "Law of Gravity".

It's the belief online that "if I give off good vibes, good vibes will be attracted back to me. You know, because everything is, like, made up of vibrating strings, and stuff" (that last bit is just the connection to String theory OP mentioned)

OP is not endorsing these beliefs, just observing them.

Alfred Nobel invented dynamite, for mining, by doing what the meme says (I don't know what "fossilized algae" refers to, but it makes the nitro not go boom, when it really wants to boom). After seeing what it was eventually used for (bombs. Lots and lots of bombs) he regretted ever making it. He set up the Nobel Peace Prize as a result, to try and even the scales a bit, so to speak

I just checked. The comment section of that video really is nothing but anti-Semitic comments, with a Kirby coat of paint. Enjoy, I guess? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=2bEZQ00OOxY

Sorry, anime is "Frieren: Beyond Journey's End", if you're interested. Frieren is the elf.

Girl on the left is an elf from an anime. "Soon" for her may be... A decade or so? No time at all, really

Remarkably easy to read in her voice. 10/10

I think in this case the meaning is already effectively watered down. At this point it'd probably be easier to just give up and make a new term for pedophilia that is just for pre adolescents, and let pedophilia be the term for all "under age of consent" stuff (as is the current modern usage).

While that may be true, they are probably also weighing that this has been a long strike. I don't know about you, but if I had to go 100+ days without working, my finances would be a wreck. Reality is, people gotta eat

Sorry to break this to you, but it's been like... Twenty years? Dang, I feel old...

I don't think it was in the 2003 version, so it might matter which version you watched. But it was the notes Ed deciphered which let him know that Philosophers Stones are made of people
