Now I know how a 50 year old feels when he hears 20 year olds talk about "when they were young"

Now, students, we shall learn about the Doppler Effect:

If a source of the light is moving away from an observer, then redshift (z > 0) occurs; if the source moves towards the observer, then blueshift (z < 0) occurs. This is true for all electromagnetic waves and is explained by the Doppler effect. Consequently, this type of redshift is called the Doppler redshift. If the source moves away from the observer with velocity v, which is much less than the speed of light (v \ll c), the redshift is given by

(since )

where c is the speed of light. In the classical Doppler effect, the frequency of the source is not modified, but the recessional motion causes the illusion of a lower frequency.

A more complete treatment of the Doppler redshift requires considering relativistic effects associated with motion of sources close to the speed of light. A complete derivation of the effect can be found in the article on the relativistic Doppler effect. In brief, objects moving close to the speed of light will experience deviations from the above formula due to the time dilation of special relativity which can be corrected for by introducing the Lorentz factor γ into the classical Doppler formula as follows:



This phenomenon was first observed in a 1938 experiment performed by Herbert E. Ives and G.R. Stilwell, called the Ives-Stilwell experiment.[22]

Since the Lorentz factor is dependent only on the magnitude of the velocity, this causes the redshift associated with the relativistic correction to be independent of the orientation of the source movement. In contrast, the classical part of the formula is dependent on the projection of the movement of the source into the line-of-sight which yields different results for different orientations. If θ is the angle between the direction of relative motion and the direction of emission in the observer's frame[23] (zero angle is directly away from the observer), the full form for the relativistic Doppler effect becomes:



and for motion solely in the line of sight (θ = 0°), this equation reduces to:



For the special case that the light is approaching at right angles (θ = 90°) to the direction of relative motion in the observer's frame,[24] the relativistic redshift is known as the transverse redshift, and a redshift:



is measured, even though the object is not moving away from the observer. Even when the source is moving towards the observer, if there is a transverse component to the motion then there is some speed at which the dilation just cancels the expected blueshift and at higher speed the approaching source will be redshifted.

The pyrovisionWhich I just realized I also called. According to the law, you must rep me as well.

Both of thee are cracking my shit up.

does that mean I can now legally have sex with it??

Oh my

this is now my go-to MvM music.

Nah.
 

 
Now thats more like it.

We know you'd come crawling back to us

Guess who's got two thumbs and just took down a Mythic Nalfeshnee in two rounds by himself?
 
Dis guyyyyy.
 
Beat my Damage In A Round record too, upping from 317 to 332. Crokus remains the undisputed king of damage at the table.
 
Crokus to rest of the party:
 

This is more or less how the chess games went in my head

Quick rundown on how this is simply terrible:
1. Generation "Y" is not even a thing, and if it were, it would have more than two entries.
2. Dogs do not equal personality. If they do, you can find a hell of a lot of desktop backgrounds that fulfill that quota.
3. Oregon Trail was originally released in 1971.
4. Troll dolls still exist, and should not be the subject of a lulzy "we get internet culture!" joke.
5. Even in the nineties, anyone I knew who said they were "pumpin' jams" was taken into a street and beaten to death with pool cues.
6. Pogz? Really? You couldn't get the rights to Pokemon or Yu-Gi-Oh cards, could you, Microsoft?
7. Assuming that they also "grew up" as a child of the nineties, this means that the people behind the latest Internet Explorer are barely in the twenties in the best case, and not even old enough to drive a car in the worst.

And, of course:
8. THIS HAD NOTHING TO DO WITH INTERNET EXPLORER. You could have put an advert for fucking shampoo at the end and it would have stayed just as effective at selling the product. Go on, name five things you know about the new Internet Explorer now. Oh yeah, nothing, except that it was possibly made by someone who wouldn't be allowed into a pub.

A terrible advert.

[spoiler2]Nikola stumbled into his bedroom, making sure he didn't awake the small figure in the bed in the center of the room. He fumbled around the room, eventually finding his nightstand. He took off his glasses and placed them down, and slipped into his bed. He laid in bed for some time, his mind weighed down by worries. He had debt to his landowner, was studying in a difficult class taught by an even more difficult teacher, and he hasn't spoken to any of his family except for his cousin in a little over a year.

He sighed, turning in his sleep. He found himself staring at the peacefully sleeping face of Anna, his girlfriend. Her light skin was framed by her brown-orange hair, and the bedsheets were pulled all the way up to her chin, essentially wrapping her up in the bedsheets. She seems so peaceful when she is sleeping, thought Nikola. Even if she's always moving when she's awake, she has to stop eventually. He couldn't help but smile as he saw her chest move up and down, her light breathing lulling him into a sleep as well. He sighed and gently brought his arms around Anna. Things may not be perfect, but maybe if I have her... things will work out. he thought, and soon he joined Anna in a deep, happy sleep.

Nikola awoke with a start as he heard the sound of shattering glass. He groaned and reached for his glasses, but he couldn't find them. He sat up in bed, looking down on the ground. He groped around at the ground on the side of his bed, and his fingers met sharp glass shards. "My glasses..." Nikola groaned, and fell back into his pillow. Well, whatever. he thought. He turned over in bed and wrapped his arms around the lump in his bed next to him. There was nobody there. He moved the covers, and found a second pillow. "Where's-" Nikola's voice stopped in his throat as realization dawned on him.

He was single.

He never even knew an Anna.

Nikola pulled the covers over his head and closed his eyes tight, attempting to hold back tears as the feeling of loneliness that so pervaded his life returned to him as strong as ever.[/spoiler2]

Hey, I tried.

OH GOOD
