Four questions by four unregistered users within a short period of time: 1, 2, 3, 4

Perhaps it's four students in a "conspiracy theories 101" class doing their homework, or perhaps there's another more likely explanation.

A: Why does a rocket engine provide more thrust in a vacuum than in atmosphere?

To answer this question, "I am inclined to say no, there is not more thrust achieved in a vacuum". I reach this conclusion through experiments of my own. No one else is correct according to my experiments, nor do they attempt to address the fact that if a ball is tossed in space, the inertia dict...

I have edited just to remove all the caps and add some formatting, but it's sooo badly wrong, and the poster isn't accepting any comments

probably needs all the comments to be moved to a chat - I posted a couple to see if it would give me that option, but I guess it will need a mod

Normally there's a pop-up after about 12 comments that asks if you want to move the discussion, I wonder why that's not happening here. Too many downvotes?

@Hobbes I'd love to see the algorithm. I would guess that it is sensitive to the dynamics of who's talking to who. Exchanges are more likely to trigger than random comments or even comments not directed at anybody.

it looks like a 2-step process: the system counts the number of comments per user and raises a flag if a threshold is reached. The moderator can then move the discussion. meta.stackexchange.com/questions/253087/…

What's the scale for 'g'? Does 9 Gs feel three times as much as 3 Gs, or is it like the Richter scale?

How long do people last at 5g in a cyclotron? could-a-human-survive-5gs-for-about-two-days

The Whizzer is a 3g roller-coaster. I could ride that for days. If it were 5gs it'd be slightly more awesome, or way too awesome?

@Mazura 'g' is an acceleration and is a linear scale. 9G is 3 times the acceleration as 3G, and directly means three times as much force results from your weight.
My understanding is that sustained 5Gs are generally a bit much for a human. Momentary 5G might not be so bad.

@RoryAlsop I was just going to ask what change had been made to that to cause the question to pop back up in the list. I guess it's that answer getting deleted

The answers on that frustrate me because the only ones that don't gloss over the final question of whether this applies universally, which it absolutely doesn't, seem to have virtually no support

@PearsonArtPhoto I looked up the rules for Monetization.... I recall you need a certain number of total channel views, and hours of views. Do you recal? I open your videos in a tab and let them play out to get you hours and views. If everyone did it, we could jump you to monetized options faster.

Side note of interest: If you want the video creator you are watching to get paid, you need to stick with the ad for 15 seconds or the end. If you skip after 5 seconds they get nothing.

Ah, 1000 subs, and 4K hours of view time. You have 1.1K subs. What is your watch time like? 294K views for the channel is good. But how long was the video they watched?
