April 10th: The bill has been vetoed!
April 2nd: The politicians in Arizona are about to sign into law a bill that would mandate sites like e621 to either impose age verification on all users or be at a risk of lawsuits. Such system would be required to go through third party vendors, who in turn must go through a government database to verify every user's age. This is not only a major violation of privacy, but it also opens up a very real danger of identity theft through phishing schemes and other methods, not to mention that we would not be able to control any of that information to make sure it is permanently deleted after age verification is complete.
Unfortunately, Arizona is the state out of which e621 operates, which means that this law will almost certainly affect us if it is to pass. If want to help us ensure that this site can continue to serve you without being required to know who you are, please ask the Arizona governor to veto this bill.
Please, help us get the word out by letting others know about this issue.
For some further information on what the bill does have a look at https://action.freespeechcoalition.com/bill/arizona-hb-2586/
We still have a Discord server, come talk to us!

MemberMy mass-energy equivalence knowledge is a little rusty, but I don't think those are the same equations.

MemberDerpy's equation is the simplified version, which is commonly used by the public. Trixie's equation is, if I'm not incorrect, more or less the complete equation.

Member*sigh* Trixie... You forgot the special relativity constant.
Half of everything you do involves photonic radiation, how could you be so sloppy?

MemberDon't know if Trixie's equation is a new relativity or not.

MemberIt's the right equation : here

MemberThink I might re-think about engineering. XD

MemberBoth ecuations are correct.

MemberThe units in the bottom expression include momentum (written as P), velocity, and mass. The way momentum and velocity are powered and multiplied, they make mass^2 times velocity^4 units which can be added to M^2*C^4. Finally, the square root leaves mass and velocity^2 units which can simplify into Newton*meters which are indeed units of energy. Ye...
