Not a meme

This post is definitely not science memes though.

Hers?

Another way this discussion is bullshit and leads nowhere is that religion can also explain everything science does. Oh the kid got a prosthetic arm? Yes, because put engineers in his path, it was all part of His plan. Kid losing the arm was also part of the plan BTW.
- Comment on With regards to cutlery, do you prefer a spoon or a fork for eating cake? 3 weeks ago:
Mostly with my hands, otherwise with a fork.

You sound like a lovely person open to other cultures and perspectives.

It’s frustrating. It’s 2026 and we’re still pointlessly gendering things. And I don’t mean this is a “omg you assumed my gender” way. I mean that organization’s that should know better go the extra mile to apply strict genders to things and processes. If this email is about workplace harassment or something like that, it would be easier to just not gender people.

I was joking with my other comment, but in some sports they solved this by having people only compete with others in their (weight) class. If this wasn’t about appression, this would be the obvious proposal to abolish gendered sports.

Dutch people should be banned from playing basketball.
- Comment on [Physics Girl's] first science video in 3 years! 4 weeks ago:
You can check some of the last videos where they show her at the worst, living in the dark and in bed because sunlight and walking was too much. This last lasted a couple years…

You’re mom didn’t tell you the truth, plain and simple. Whether she knows the truth, that’s another story. You can’t re-absorb a whole baby, with bones and all that.

Child, this is Tennis were talking about. It’s a rich people game. There’s no time to worry about trivialities like protection of the environment.

And it’s bullshit, because so what if the ball is a bit less bouncy? It’s less bouncy to your opponent too.

So trees have evolved truck-sensing organs in the span of mere decades? Unbelievable!
- Comment on The HOA isn't going to be happy about the colour, though. 1 month ago:
I didn’t know this until recently, but tennis balls wear out quite fast. Not structurally, not the felt, but the air inside escapes with the extreme pressure they endure. And soon they don’t bounce so well.
If only sports balls had a way to refill the air…

That’s exactly my first thought. Whenever I see upcycled things that will just break down into microplastics in nature, I wince.

- Comment on Why do I look like shit some days? 1 month ago:
When you look in the mirror, you see yourself through a mood filter. If you are feeling happy and optimistic, you will see a nicer looking reflection.
Besides, small things can effectively change how you look in subtle ways. Are the clothes a bit more wrinkly or need adjustment? Do you need a haircut or shave? Did you sleep well and are you drinking enough water? Also, your body posture is different.
My ex has mood swings related to their body image. One day they thought they looked nice and fit, the other day they looked fat and ugly. To me nothing changed, except that on the bad days, they had bad posture in front of the mirror. Unconsciously, they were self sabotaging themselves.

Yeah? That’s why OP posted it here, there are no stupid questions here.

- Comment on Families in New York City demonstrated against a proposal to allow cars in a local park. A politician showed up in a car to mock them 1 month ago:
I’m actually a bit confused. That looks like the road doesn’t actually cross the park, but is adjacent to it?

I remember once in my home country in Europe I was with friends in the woods with our bikes hacking fun going up and down the small hills. Not mountain bikes, just normal bicycles but the trails were solid enough. Suddenly about 30 Jeeps skow up and start going around the place, absolutely trampling the terrain and making it impossible to bike or even walk around. Must have been a meetup of diesel brains. We tried to argue with them that they destroyed the whole place, but they basically argued it was their right.
Fuck. Cars.
- Comment on Everyone Hates Windows Right Now 1 month ago:
Well, yeah, because Linux is not the status quo. If you hate Windows you need to change and people hate change. If you hate Linux, you just go on living you (ignorant) life.
- Comment on Everyone Hates Windows Right Now 1 month ago:
And people have hated Linux for almost as long. I believe in actions not in people complaining online. Linux is an option for a lot of people but they don’t want change, they want to complain. And Microsoft profits of that inaction.
- Comment on Is what Elijah saying here true for all heroes and villains across the board? Or is it how it used to be? What would be equivalent today? 1 month ago:
Media today is way more subtle than that, in part because culturally we don’t need to be told so explicitly anymore. It’s similar to how villains used to, and sometimes still do, have a strong gay accent, because being queer coded was the same as being evil coded. That’s the same principle with the weird body proportions vs the perfect white American jaw.
