    Oh yeah, I get it now, thanks!

    (I totally still have no clue, but if it hasn’t happened in 3 tries, it’s just not going to happen.)

      Oh yeah I start to get it, thank you so much!

      Is a way to politely say you don’t really get it/needs more explanations, but for now it’s not the time.

    “If you can’t explain it to a six year old, then you don’t understand it yourself”

    -Albert Einstein

    If you were smart enough to generate this meme, I’d wager it was explained poorly 3 times if you were paying attention.

      I once had a teacher who told us to “Explain the curriculum to your grandmother. That’s when YOU get it.”

      IMO ELI70 is somewhat better than ELI5 because it allows people to explain it without childish simplifications, but with the same challenge in comprehension.

        I don’t know. I’d take explaining a complex concept to a 6 year old over a 70 year old any day. A 70 year old will probably rely on faded memories that have over time become wholly incorrect from disuse. They may give you a head start on a few sub-concepts/aspects of the concept, but in my experience working with A LOT of seniors in a former Master’s level helping profession, you’re far more likely to make faster progress with a 6 year old, and far more often then not for an elderly person, you’ll hit an insurmountable road block of understanding if it’s a concept they were never familiar with.

        With effort, patience and available time, you could teach a 6 year old significant aspects of calculus. I would wager the average 70 year old whose career was never math centric, with only faded memories of minimally complex algebra, would take multiple times as long to do the same, if at all. The elasticity for new complex anything is extremely limited.

        Wired did some great videos explaining hard concepts at 5 levels. This one handles time (and relativity a little bit): youtu.be/TAhbFRMURtg

    I asked my aunt to show me how to fold a fitted sheet about 5 times and I still have no clue.

    I mean, so what exactly is an NFT and how does someone steal one again?

    • FooBarrington@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      An NFT is an entry in a blockchain, belonging to some account. If the account is hacked, ownership can be transferred without the owners consent.
