- Comment on Why do we even do mens vs womens sizes for clothes? 2 days ago:
Resisting the urge to downvoted because this is a great question for this sub.
A lot of it is historical and never changed for 100+ years. Same reason buttons are on opposite sides on men and women garments.
- Comment on Baby face next to name 4 days ago:
That or because you’re like a baby whining about little emoji. Self fulfilling profecy. (I’m kidding)
- Comment on Walk, Run, Crawl, RL Fun | Boston Dynamics 6 days ago:
This sequece was definitely prepared to show those Chinese robots that they can dance without CGI.
- Comment on Today we Walk 6 days ago:
And now I choke drinking water sometimes.
- Comment on i’m scared of my boyfriend because he’s dry and doesn’t want to initiate a relationship, should i break up because of the latter part? 6 days ago:
It’s not really cheating if the bf is aware, but agree with everything else.
- Comment on i’m scared of my boyfriend because he’s dry and doesn’t want to initiate a relationship, should i break up because of the latter part? 6 days ago:
That’s not how poly relationships work. You are a side bitch for when his bf is not around. Please remove yourself from this “relationship” for your sake.
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Wow that looks pretty desolate. Was it all farmland? Why are there absolutely no trees in sight?
- Comment on [deleted] 6 days ago:
Even then, dynamic agroforestry would be nice.
- Comment on Why can humans seemingly only imagine like 3 different forms of government in different flavors? 1 week ago:
Lots of different forms of local government exist, including “random” or round-robin. Just maybe natural selection has selected only certain kinds for state governments.
- Comment on The Tesla protests are working. 1 week ago:
I’ve stopped buying my rocket launching services from SpaceX long ago!
- Comment on How would we choose a "world language" in a fair way, for a hypothetical one world government? 1 week ago:
There were hundreds of attemps in the 20th century. You should learn the history of Esperanto to know why it can’t happen. That was the closest we ever got to a global second language.
- Comment on Have people that have been held captive hallucinated an entire other world ? 1 week ago:
Maybe take better care of your captives, and they might imagine something nicer!
- Comment on What Happens to the Developers When AI Can Code? 1 week ago:
They become the janitors of the stuff cobbled together by AI. Generated code has existed for a long time. Generating code from scratch is not what software do. Understanding the business context and the whole code base is. There will certainly be lots of things that developers will do faster with AI, meaning less developers might be needed in the long term. But it’s more likely that developers will just be expected to develop faster and ship more things.
- Comment on Dunning-Kruger 1 week ago:
But the economics says I should print them and make a fortune selling them to idiots. Hmm decisions, decisions.

Which is still cheap for many Americans.

Half the country is fighting to run towards the trainwreck…
- Comment on Why is electricity not part of the classical alchemical elements? (Earth, Fire, Wind, Water) 1 week ago:
Shortly before we taught little rocks to think.
- Comment on Did sites end up making money from API restrictions? 2 weeks ago:
Friend, Google is now paying for the privilege of accessing the reddit results and so far no other search engine is able to. I’m pretty sure reddit is making bank…
Twitter on the other hand, I doubt it. Some media companies might have accepted to pay for access, but most certainly didn’t. They most certainly lost money with the user exodus.
- Comment on Hexagons Are The Bestagons. 2 weeks ago:
Cortex also used to be very interesting but now it’s just the same things over and over. Hello Internet was fun but I guess Grey optimize out the fun from his endeavours.
- Comment on Font size on comments 2 weeks ago:
Good job buddy
- Comment on wrong again 2 weeks ago:
Europe and Asia will gladly absorve the brain drain from the US in the coming years.
- Comment on Lightning bugs!! 2 weeks ago:
I think it’s just because the only idea I had was from cartoons. They don’t exist where I’m from.
They are still eery and cool though.
- Comment on Lightning bugs!! 2 weeks ago:
Indeed, she doesn’t shine at all
- Comment on Lightning bugs!! 2 weeks ago:
I knew about them but didn’t see them well into adulthood. It’s underwhelming
- Comment on Lightning bugs!! 2 weeks ago:
Also, people are born every day, and some just go on with their lives never learning about random facts like these. Every day, someone is one of the lucky 10k.
- Comment on mystery, you say 2 weeks ago:
I think you need to NSFW this
- Comment on This is the best physics video I have ever seen in my life. 2 weeks ago:
And then everyone stood up and clapped. The name of that student? Richard Feynman.
- Comment on How much progress have we made on climate change? 3 weeks ago:
I’ll take a look, thanks.
