  Laguette de la botte is definitely a dish I would try at a French restaurant

  Invest in tungsten

  I think the point is it doesn’t prevent wide spread use. If a plant resists cultivation then it’s not worth it to try to farm, either industrially or in your back yard. Especially if you’re trying to farm for sustenance.

  Yeah, you can’t just lay down electricity, especially not practical electricity it requires a ton of diverse knowledge from many different studies. What I would do is give them the concept of using steam to power to spin wheels or create an engine. Then use gear ratios to show them how to scale it up. Idk if they had found neodymium magnets back then, but teach them how to use them to heat iron by spinning them on the end of a steam engine and you’re starting to cook with electricity.

  Again, getting to electricity from there is still a whole fucking chore. But hopefully you could rely on science to advance way faster from your advances than if you weren’t there.

  Actually, the most important thing you could give the greeks is the concept of the modern scientific method. That shit was invented so late and just skyrocketed science (literally) the moment it was refined.

  Just write a book about everything you remember about a null hypothesis, randomized blind trials, control experiments, variable control etc. if you can squeeze any bit of statistics out of your brain, even if it’s just making a graph, you probably advance the world by thousands of years.

  If those couple of lines couldn’t be determined to be true without the 83 page setup then it took all 83 pages to prove 1+1=2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has this ever happened to you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doubling down on not paying for her food when there was no indication that he was expected to was definitely strange. It’s a perfectly fine thing to be uncomfortable with, don’t try and force the fault on her.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon makes games⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m sure there’s a fun game for someone in there where you play as a money trader

  Oklahoma is his mondo dumpy rumpy takin a poo

  On the bright side, my nuts don’t stick to the side of my leg anymore cause I sweat PTFEs.

  I’ve come to realize that these crazed anti-ai people are just a product of history repeating itself. They would be the same leftists who were “anti-gmo”. When you dig into it you understand that they’re against Monsanto, which is cool and good, but the whole thing is so conflated in their heads that you can’t discuss the merits of GMOs whatsoever even though they’re purportedly progressive.

  It’s a pattern, their heads in the right place for the most part. But the logic is just going a little haywire as they buy into hysteria. It’ll take a few years probably as the generations cycle.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sticker⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Chill, I was making a joke about how it was technically ambiguous what group the op was talking about. They could also have been talking about the sticker maker group.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I have things I can/need to do every single day of the week. I have to decide if what you’re inviting me to is more important than the chores, shopping, exercise, and hobbies I’m planning on.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨exausting⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But have they tried gender studies? They might learn just how good they have it being a welder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you think of any now?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You do your most important learning outside of the classroom

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sticker⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk man, pants pissers generally make for an unpleasant environment. It tends to stink and god forbid there’s more than one and the crowd is shoulder to shoulder. They should go in the toilet like everyone else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shh⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I would rather healthcare and science used 5x as much plastic as they do already and everyone else had to go completely wasteless than try to put any undue limits on them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a fact checker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Right… Yeah in aggregate. Just cause you see a counterfactual in person doesn’t make it true. That’s how it works…

  And it’s strange, you say you can’t speak to that personally because you saw a line around the block, so what about the person who gave a personal anecdote to the opposite? You both have stories that contradict each other. How does this square in your framework?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon is a fact checker⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  People still go out to events like concerts and holiday parties. Far fewer people casually go out to their local bars and coffee shops during the week. I’m pretty sure that’s empirical.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2hot2handle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Spontaneous doesn’t mean “happens suddenly without explanation” what are you on about?

  Mostly ocean flora but there’s a lot that comes from the Amazon rainforest too.

  The frogurt contains potassium cyanide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Please bro⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  They don’t even know what they’re doing or why they’re doing it.

  We know, right now, without AI, that we have enough resources in the world to feed, house, and educate everyone. The only reason that doesn’t get done is an inscrutible system of beurocracy and propaganda.

  So what happens when something they would laud as an “AGI” says “hey, to solve your economic issues you have to recognize that we have the ability to create so much food it’s no longer profitable”?

  Well the truth is that they would most likely hide it.

  One more bean type and youve got a three bean salad going!

  So… You got some more mtg alpha cards kickin around…?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aspergers officinalis⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I expected them to hang off a central stalk. Or perhaps grow like corn, where there’s a more plant-looking plant growing with the asparagus inside it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expand North! So much room up there.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every Canadian knows that the secret forests of magical splendour begin 101 miles from the border.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Majority Report had a chilling take on this. We are getting reports out of Gaza that the mass starvation is in its final stages. Many Gazans are at the late stages of starvation so that even if they got food it’s far too late and their body has started consuming itself.

  In the next weeks/months the death toll is going to spike, even more than it has. Like mass graves are going to be filled.

  Now all of these news outlets are seeing the writing on the wall and they’re starting to lay the groundwork to be able to claim that they have “always been” against the genocide now that it’s undeniable.
