Yeah the first issue is in theory solvable, but they never managed to do it, not in a practical manner at least (huge cryocooled superconductors is probably not very practical)
The forces are from the immense magnetic fields, two parallel wires with current in opposite directions will repel eachother, so the rails are trying to move apart from eachother
This plus the heat causing material expansion plus the rails needing to be very straight for it all to work, and you end up having a bit of an engineering headache on your hands
But yeah it’s mainly when you build large ones meant to fire things at really really high speeds, maybe we’ll find a way to improve it one day, but for now it’s sadly dead in the water (in the military sector at least, but they tend to be the main driving force behind technology that fires things)
The issue is that large scale railguns tend to self destruct, either from the heat or from the immense forces, so it can only fire a few shots before it needs extensive maintenance, and the time it takes to recharge is quite long in most practical applications (warships and such) which is why the american military has given up on the concept.
For launching stuff you have the same issues, except you now the payload isn’t a solid piece of metal but an intricate component which somehow needs to survive the insane acceleration (unless you use a really long barrel)
Goddamn shrinkflation affecting memes too now?
Well now it’s more “Food stamps? No foodstamps for you!”
So the secret is to pull yourself up by the bootstraps, and work 20 jobs at the same time all paying 1 million a day
Poor people often work 2 jobs paying minimum wage, that’s 18 jobs too few and 999960$/day/job too little pay
You can work hard for a thousand years straight and you still won’t be a billionaire,
You gotta exploit really hard
Easy, convince yourself that having a boot on your face is good, start kissing the boot, have you said thank you to the boot even once?
Ah yes, how the dragonborne came to be

Love that the two of you answered this at the same exact minute
What’s a switch then, or am i just hallucinating new terms here?

So if you’re a switch you’re fine? (That’s the term for someone who switches between top and bottom right?)
