Apr 11 01:52:42 * xkcd cavitates
Apr 11 01:53:33 * Regent flies <good looking lady> to the moon
Apr 11 01:53:37 <Smily> you formed small bubbles which violently imploded shortly after?
Apr 11 01:53:52 <xkcd> Smily: Yeah, vacuum bubbles.
Apr 11 01:53:53 <Regent> Smily: due to heat!
Apr 11 01:54:11 <xkcd> Not due to heat, exactly, just violently low pressure.
Apr 11 01:54:12 * Smily 's brain cavitates
Apr 11 01:54:35 <Widdershins> like a submarine's propeller
Apr 11 01:54:40 * postronomy is now known as postmodern
Apr 11 01:54:43 <xkcd> My aft propellers were spinning so fast that the water couldn't rush in to fill the gaps behind them

Apr 11 01:54:48 <Widdershins> that's why submarines can go faster silently at lower depths
Apr 11 01:55:00 <Regent> yes Widdershins
Apr 11 01:55:05 <Regent> the pressure
Apr 11 01:55:05 <Smily> what!
Apr 11 01:55:20 <Smily> we get signal
Apr 11 01:55:20 <Bucket> Main screen turn on
Apr 11 01:55:26 <pv2b> Widdershins: lower depths? as in..... "less depth --- shallower" or "lower depth -- deeper"?
Apr 11 01:55:33 * Regent did in fact read Hunt for Red October
Apr 11 01:55:37 <Smily> it's you!
Apr 11 01:55:38 <Bucket> HOW ARE YOU GENTLEMEN?
Apr 11 01:55:47 <Widdershins> pv2b: Deeper. Lower, deeper, it's not very ambiguous.
Apr 11 01:55:51 <xkcd> postmodern: "postmodern astronomy" -- I like this field you've invented! "Saturn's Rings as a Societal Construct!" "Lagrangian Points: Evidence of the Continued Oppression of the Patriarchy." "Gamma-ray Bursts as Text"
Apr 11 01:55:52 <Regent> pv2b: deeper -- the higher pressure means less cavitation
Apr 11 01:56:31 <Monarch> women of #xkcd!
Apr 11 01:56:35 <Monarch> please smile
Apr 11 01:56:35 <_Ray> Manifolds for Obama?
Apr 11 01:56:36 <pv2b> Widdershins: oh, i just think like a computer programmer.when somebody says "lower depth" then i think "well, then depth is a smaller value"
Apr 11 01:56:49 <pv2b> Widdershins: thanks for clarifying
Apr 11 01:56:49 * shamrocker smiles questioningly
Apr 11 01:56:56 <Smily> so the bubbles form because matter isn't fast enough to catch up with the pressure or something?
Apr 11 01:56:58 <postmodern> xkcd: M-theory itself could be a postmodernist novel
Apr 11 01:57:01 <Monarch> i just watched a whole trek episode, and at the end it's all happy, but they're not SMILING
Apr 11 01:57:16 <Smily> hah
Apr 11 01:57:20 <Widdershins> pv2b: I really should have said "greater depth" but yes.
Apr 11 01:57:42 * Rolken has quit (Ping timeout)
Apr 11 01:58:35 <shamrocker> Monarch, I think i find it creepier when they DO smile.
Apr 11 01:58:38 <xkcd> Smily: just imagine putting your hand in the water and then doing a slapping motion really, really fast -- can't you imagine your hand pushing water out of the way, but going so fast that water behind it doesn't have time to rush in and fill the gap?
Apr 11 01:58:45 * seanv (Sean@6E486F1A:2C762957:C1627509:IP) has joined #xkcd
Apr 11 01:58:47 <Regent> Smily: it happens because the pressure is low enough at those points that the matter transitions phase
Apr 11 01:58:50 <xkcd> That's cavitation.
Apr 11 01:58:52 <Regent> er
Apr 11 01:58:55 <Regent> yeah
Apr 11 01:58:56 <xkcd> That gap.
Apr 11 01:59:18 <Monarch> shamrocker, women smiling is AWESOME
Apr 11 01:59:26 <Monarch> i think i have a smile fetish...
Apr 11 01:59:29 <xkcd> Yeah, the gaps make the water around it turn to steam because there's no vapor pressure on the surface, I suppose
Apr 11 01:59:31 <Regent> but xkcd when it is a submarine there is no air getting trapped the way it does in your hand example
Apr 11 01:59:32 <Monarch> a smile makes you happy
Apr 11 01:59:37 <Monarch> <3 thunder of SMILEZ
Apr 11 01:59:38 <Smily> so, essentially it isn't catching up?
Apr 11 01:59:41 <shamrocker> Monarch a "smile fetish" is the best thing i've ever heard.
Apr 11 01:59:42 <xkcd> Regent: no, imagine the entire thing underwater
Apr 11 01:59:44 <xkcd> no air anywhere
Apr 11 01:59:49 <Monarch> :D
Apr 11 02:00:14 <Regent> smily it is just because the pressure is low enough that the substance is a gas at that temperature and pressure
Apr 11 02:00:19 <Filius_Nullius> I dont' think thats possible
Apr 11 02:00:22 <Tiara> You guys arent smart
Apr 11 02:00:26 <Filius_Nullius> theres some type of gas involved.
Apr 11 02:00:28 <Tiara> You just watch too much Smash Lab
Apr 11 02:00:28 <Smily> can you hear the bubble implosion?
Apr 11 02:00:35 <Tiara> I'M CALLIN YOU OUT
Apr 11 02:00:36 <Widdershins> I'd hate to see a vacuum cavitation.
Apr 11 02:00:39 <Filius_Nullius> right?, I'm not exactly sure what we're talking about
Apr 11 02:00:40 <Smily> Regent oh, interesting

Apr 11 02:01:15 <xkcd> Filius_Nullius: Sure it is -- there are plenty of examples of a vacuum forming when water pressure isn't enough to push water into gaps.
Apr 11 02:01:18 <Nash> smile fetishism, onoes

Apr 11 02:01:32 <xkcd> Filius_Nullius: try sucking water up more than 35 feet through a straw, for example
Apr 11 02:01:58 <Smily> oh i used to put straws together
Apr 11 02:02:02 <Smily> i got up to 3 i think

Apr 11 02:02:18 <Smily> Nash don't worry, you always look creepy
Apr 11 02:02:23 <Filius_Nullius> I'm not sure if i understand this in context
Apr 11 02:02:28 <Nash> That may be.

Apr 11 02:02:57 <Smily> WAND?
Apr 11 02:03:00 <xkcd> Meta: compare them with what?
Apr 11 02:03:09 <Meta> xkcd: Each other!
Apr 11 02:03:09 <Monarch> WANG?
Apr 11 02:03:12 <Tiara> xkcd: Wands. Duh.
Apr 11 02:03:14 <pv2b> my wang is exactly 1.0 pv2bwangs long
Apr 11 02:03:21 <Filius_Nullius> omg.. I once took a chapter from a harry potter book and replaced wand with wang
Apr 11 02:03:29 <Filius_Nullius> kinda like that quote on bash.org but better.
Apr 11 02:03:35 <Beelzebub> Filius_Nullius: that has been done
Apr 11 02:03:38 <Meta> pv2b: Are you trying to become the AU of the wangsizing world?
Apr 11 02:03:40 <Filius_Nullius> needless to say, it wasn't an orgional idea
Apr 11 02:03:41 <Tiara> Filius: No you didnt. You just read bash.o-damnit
Apr 11 02:03:52 <Filius_Nullius> omfg... I referenced bash.org didn't I
Apr 11 02:03:52 <Smily> what! 57C on my gfx card?
Apr 11 02:03:52 <pv2b> Meta: are you suggesting my wang is astronomical?
Apr 11 02:03:59 <Meta> pv2b: Astronomically small.
Apr 11 02:03:59 <postmodern> I like that we're all acquainted with the internet :)
Apr 11 02:04:03 <xkcd> pv2b: Cool! I'd suggest that as a standard unit, but maybe something closer to normal size would be better ... otherwise we'll be talking about kilowangs all the time.
Apr 11 02:04:04 <shamrocker> Meta, go pack or something. ps, did you get my mix?
Apr 11 02:04:07 <xkcd> BURN.
Apr 11 02:04:10 <Filius_Nullius> I'm suggesting you meassure mine using some sort of Solar Mass
Apr 11 02:04:12 <_Ray> pv2b, well, stars are powered by single atoms.
Apr 11 02:04:12 <Meta> omg shamrockers.
Apr 11 02:04:20 <pv2b> Meta: well, 1 AU is pretty small in the context of the universe. it'd still be a pretty large wang. so thanks.
Apr 11 02:04:21 <postmodern> xkcd: we just need to standardize everything to calories
Apr 11 02:04:21 <Smily> xkcd just like kilograms then
Apr 11 02:04:35 <Smily> what's up with kg?
Apr 11 02:04:38 <Meta> pv2b: Penistomical Units
Apr 11 02:04:39 <Smily> it's fucked up
Apr 11 02:04:42 <xkcd> Smily: i know srsly
Apr 11 02:05:01 <postmodern> for example
Apr 11 02:05:04 <Filius_Nullius> there should be a whole new system of meassurement for the penis.
Apr 11 02:05:06 <postmodern> "I am x calories tall"
Apr 11 02:05:06 <Smily> do you use metrical measurements in rl xkcd?

Apr 11 02:05:16 <Smily> for everything?

Apr 11 02:05:22 <_Ray> man
Apr 11 02:05:29 <xkcd> Smily: no, I occasionally use feet and mph when context suggests/makes that easier
Apr 11 02:05:32 <pv2b> what's so strange about using metric measurements for everything?
