🤔 dear xkcd, how many tacos are needed to form a singularity?
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
Math checks out, definitely at least 2
I don't think anyone can read that number either.
I can read it in my head I just don't know how to say it out loud
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
I'm impressed it isn't Neelix's fault. It seems like something he'd be responsible for.
::Tuvok disapproval stare intensifies::
Leola root tacos I'm imagining
I am from all and even without understanding the context, this is great haha
Are you familiar with replicators?
they sound self explanatory
That's all the context you need.
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.
An honorable death.
Didnt the ST show have like a ration system to spare energy? Or was that only on Voyager
That was only Voyager
I believe there were replicator credits. That being said, tacos are not a bad way to spend your replicator credits.
Only on planets or where things were resource constrained. On ship or station in normal operation replicators were just generally available for whatever.
I think DS9 had something like that as well.
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!
Where the fuck are you getting 6 inch tacos?
Not sure if that's current information, with shrinkflation here in the U.S. tacos have definitely gotten smaller.
The Federation will do anything to avoid the metric system.
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.
Go dig up some worms, throw em in a bowl, grab a weird looking fork, and let us know.
Damn it, I'm not allowed on the ship? But I studied so long at the academy!
Out of curiosity: the dog from the Christopher Titus bit?
Just set a limit of maximum allowed units and done.
Limits are for the weak. Build a replicator that can produce all the tacos at once or get out.
Now we find out what the real inspiration for the holodeck was
Now I need more comics like this from star trek !!! Very funny.
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.
Maybe it's counting an empty shell.
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.
He's got the munchies and needs some eye drops....
