Laser Tattoo Removal
Laser tattoo removal turns out to be quite a complicated process, relying on fascinating optomechanical phenomena.

Anti-Gravity Wheel
This video explains how a 90kg spinning wheel can become "light as a feather" without breaking any of Newton's Laws.
http://youtu.be/tLMpdBjA2SU
Gyroscopic Precession
Regarding the last video, what is gyroscopic precession? This is incredibly important when considering the physics of helicopters. (More on that in the third installment)

Simple Math
Try adding these numbers along with the audience.

Ants Can Count
How do ants find their way home? Turns out, certain desert ants use an internal counting mechanism to remember the number of steps they've taken away from their home. How did scientists prove this?

Broken Logic
A basic introduction to logic, a subject that can get quite complicated rather quickly.
http://youtu.be/VRZk62QNOsM
Straw Men
Another introductory logic video explaining straw man arguments. This topic is incredibly important to keep in mind as the political debate season approaches.

The Writer Who Couldn't Read
The story of Howard Engel, a writer who developed alexia (word blindness). Interesting story which sheds light on the compartmental nature of the human brain with regard to vision, language, and penmanship.

Laser tattoo removal also hurts like mothafucka

Upvotes for Last Action Hero explosion, and so I can come back to read these later.
cardboardisdelicious
That spinning wheel isn't 90kg, btw..
FerociousDiglett
NO. TORQUE IS RADIUS CROSS FORCE. CROSS PRODUCTS ARE NON-COMMUNICATIVE. THIS MATTERS.
SoulHeart
You can also see it as the perpendicular force force of the wheel against the radius, gives you magnitude and the direction is given Cross P
DerpMeister
There is no anti-gravity. Just shennanigans with weight and force distribution.
nectarinewater
Pure Alexia is fascinating.Show an"X"and they can't say the letter, but ask them about the math function and they know it's multiplication.
itsmesteve
Why would anyone want to remove a laser tattoo?
Caniac
Maybe it reminded him of when his history teacher/platoon leader got his legs ate & he had to kill the guy?
sayruh
I just got tattooed and the artist is going through laser removal on his forearm and he says it hurts like 1000x more than getting tattooed
TempusFrangit
Truth.
RHFM
OP, I need a link to Vol. 1 so I can favorget that one too
ChicksDigTrucks
#3 90kg is the weight of the dude and the wheel together, not the wheel alone.
SovietWrench
The Bruce Springsteen video is from the Ben Stiller Show, which is awesome sketch comedy you should check out.
landfill75
+1 because I also messed up the math in #5
obscureallusion
I got... I DON'T UNDERSTAND. I got two different answers! I don't understand?????

... I AM SO STUPID. 4100. GOD DAMNIT.
PoppinLochNessHopster
I was on on alert about it being a trick, :( disguise this more
vikingwhale
I don't get it. Do you think you could explain it to me? I counted to 5000 but based on popular opinion that's wrong and I need to know.
PoppinLochNessHopster
you add 1000 when the number is 10. think about it
theycallmemrfish
TIL, Laser tattoo removal is power washing of the skin.
jalenp69
Everyone said 5000 and I'm like, "you're all dumb, it's 4900" +1

I didn't get that one. What was the answer..

4100...i had to watch twice, lol.

I thought ants left pheromone trails.
isildur
They do.
kgbofficer
It's what others thought too, until they tested it with ant stilts and then the ants took the same amount of steps passing the spot.

I had TWO tattoos removed via laser treatment. It took 15 treatments. It feels like you are popping blisters with FIRE! And very expensive.
bobbidiboopy
The tattoo removal was very interesting!

Straw Man argument is the entire DNC platform. "Todd Akin thinks that women's bodies shut down during rape. So all Republicans think that."
isildur
...After invoking straw men, you did you seriously not realize the irony in making a hyperbolic statement like that? O_o
ExperimentKraj
You get all of my upvotes and this adorable kitten.
dembonz00
Ok, I admit that was a little bit too deep for most people. I was making the point that it's very hard to avoid star man arguments. My bad.
Snooj
It doesn't become light as a feather, but it does negate the center of gravity. You're still lifting 90kilograhamcrackers or whatever kg is.
andman
But you reduce the necessary force applied. So you lift the same mass, but different weight because the acceleration to the right
isildur
Yeah, this annoyed me.
JustObserving
Hmm if anyone has legitimate interest in laser tattoo removal, I'm currently going through the process...
OhSquiggilyLine
What are you getting rid of, where and why ?
JustObserving
Large black net like background to a hummingbird tattoo. The artist failed me...
omgitsfirefoxx
Yesss. I'd been considering for a while, but would love first hand info
JustObserving
I'll message you. :)
tommyhanrahan
I do! Considering laser removal for one of mine. Would love more details from someone experiencing it first hand.
MisunderstoodRedneck
For the love of god find a place with a PicoSure laser.
JustObserving
I don't totally buy into picosure hype. I'm on my 3rd session with a Quanta Q + C qswitch.
MisunderstoodRedneck
I've tried Q-Switch and PicoSure.6 q-switch sessions and didn't make much progress.Tat was gone after two PicoSure sessions.Just my exp
JustObserving
interesting. 100% gone? maybe if this laser stops working i'll do pico...its just so expensive

I'm a laser technician, so fire away!

With me, usually.
LauraLauraBoBaura
I'm also in the process! Black ink is easiest, and neons (blues, reds, yellows, etc.) hardest. It is not an immediate process like the (1/?)
LauraLauraBoBaura
gif might have you believe. It'll fade like that and reappear after ~15 min... after that the process is a months-long waiting game. (2/?)

I'll post some photos to you of my progress so far! (3/3)

I added the numbers in the gif. I got 10.

Are you an ant?
chickenandgoosen
I watched the gif twice to make sure I counted 10 right...
MlemminBlepper
I didn't have sound on and I counted 4100, when I turned around on at the end they never confirmed, everyone just mumbled a bunch.
cinsoniTe
10. How much?

He is clearly talking about adding the numbers in the Springsteen counting gif. Its really hard to see that 5 at the end.

So far I've gotten 840. Still adding though

The simple math shows how we are used to adding numbers, exactly the way when we were little, we add the numbers in a sorta column. We are(1
SoulHeart
) wired that since elementary which is why we pause for a second to review the location of the carried number to see if it affects the 1000

+1 for #9 Lev Yilmaz of Tales of Mere Existence
chemenger8
It's not though... it looks like Robert Krulwich from NPR just happens to be a fan, too. I never knew those videos existed!
RobocopShootingDicks
It's not what? To be clear I meant Lev Yilmaz who is known for Tales of Mere Existence, and also made this video with NPR
chemenger8
Ah, my bad. The video is not an episode of "Tales of Mere Existence". I thought you were saying it was.
Satansmathtutor
i kinda liked the tattoo they were removing...reminded me of Orzhova

If you know your lore, RE: the orzhov signet: "if it's tattooed on the body, it's bearer is a slave"
