I'm impressed it isn't Neelix's fault. It seems like something he'd be responsible for.

Leola root tacos I'm imagining

[–] TeoTwawki@lemmy.world 15 points 1 year ago (2 children)

🤔 dear xkcd, how many tacos are needed to form a singularity?

[–] lauha@lemmy.one 20 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Tolman-Oppenheimer-Volkoff limit is around 2-3 solar masses, which means if you had that amount of cold matter and collapsed it, it would form a black hole. Problem is that once you start compressing it, it gets hotter and starts forming all sort of repulsing forces. Then again, it is generally accepted that stars bigger than 20 solar masses collapse into a black hole at the end of their life cycle. We will go with 20 solar masses so we don't have to fiddle with cold tacos.

Quick Googling said that tacos weight on average 100 to 230 grams. We will go average of average approach so 170 grams.

Plugging the numbers in:

20 Solar masses / 170 grams = 2.339x10^32^ tacos

233,900,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 tacos for anyone that can't read scientific notation

So like at least 2

[–] CaptKoala@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 year ago

Math checks out, definitely at least 2

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't think anyone can read that number either.

[–] FracturedEel@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can read it in my head I just don't know how to say it out loud

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

234 trillion quadrillion.

Two hundred thousand million billion quintillion.

One-quarter of a billion billion billion billion.

It's a shame that yotta- is the positive prefix, because I thought I could excuse describing a yoctotaco.

233.9 nonillion

Don't be a Wesley. Think of the Boimlers of the world.

Don't fuck with Buffer Time. union-man

Didnt the ST show have like a ration system to spare energy? Or was that only on Voyager

[–] Infynis@midwest.social 14 points 1 year ago

That was only Voyager

I believe there were replicator credits. That being said, tacos are not a bad way to spend your replicator credits.

[–] Osa-Eris-Xero512@kbin.social 5 points 1 year ago

Only on planets or where things were resource constrained. On ship or station in normal operation replicators were just generally available for whatever.

[–] SatyrSack@lemmy.one 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I think DS9 had something like that as well.

[–] fleabomber@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago

An honorable death.

[–] girl@lemm.ee 10 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I am from all and even without understanding the context, this is great haha

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Are you familiar with replicators?

[–] girl@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

they sound self explanatory

[–] someguy3@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's all the context you need.

[–] girl@lemm.ee 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yea that’s why I was able to enjoy it haha. I meant it in contrast to a lot of other posts in this community, which require knowledge of the characters/plot to be funny.

[–] Stamets@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

I get what you mean. If it's not story/character related then it's behind the scenes stuff.

I'm glad you were able to enjoy this one alongside us this time <3 Maybe this might be the push needed to start watching Trek and join us?

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 year ago (2 children)

A taco is approximately 6” long, 4” tall and 2” wide. That gives it a volume of ~48 cubic inches. With that many tacos, that gives about 200k cubic feet of taco. That's a cube about 60 feet on a side. That's a basketball court covered 43 feet deep. Assuming he's in a room rather than a huge area, he'll very quickly be buried alive in tacos. I'm sure he'll die happy!

[–] oldGregg@lemm.ee 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Where the fuck are you getting 6 inch tacos?

[–] JohnDClay@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] otherbarry@lemmy.zip 3 points 1 year ago

Not sure if that's current information, with shrinkflation here in the U.S. tacos have definitely gotten smaller.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 year ago

The Federation will do anything to avoid the metric system.

[–] MonkderZweite@feddit.ch 8 points 1 year ago

Just set a limit of maximum allowed units and done.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

This made me wonder what gagh actually tastes like. So many humans are seen enjoying it, it has to be pretty delicious, despite being living worms right? Maybe it would make for a good Klingon taco.

[–] XaeroDegreaz@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

Go dig up some worms, throw em in a bowl, grab a weird looking fork, and let us know.

[–] Taako_Tuesday@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 year ago

Damn it, I'm not allowed on the ship? But I studied so long at the academy!

[–] flango@lemmy.eco.br 7 points 1 year ago

Now I need more comics like this from star trek !!! Very funny.

[–] 790@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm flabbergasted. 617051 is a prime number. That means it cannot be the result of varying parts of a taco. The comic is illogical, and it's hard to believe that this is just a coincidence.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Maybe it's counting an empty shell.

[–] GaiusGornicusCaesar@startrek.website 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That would have been accounted for in the first 3721 combinations. Your comment is illogical. You are irrational. You are hereby persona non grata on Vulcan. You will remain that way for the next 12.0934 years. I am Subcommander T'Plik of Vulcan, and if you wish to repeal your classification, direct it to Commander Sutok of the Department of Interplanetary Affairs.

Wesley could use some Visine.

[–] thisbenzingring@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

He's got the munchies and needs some eye drops....
