  when people post cropped porn, they should also post which porn they cropped, so people know which porn to avoid.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Gravity!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  funfact: because water itself has weight, it produces gravity, therefore it pulls more water towards itself, therefore more water collects in some parts of the world than other.

  for example: most of the extra water that comes from global warmings, collects at the pacific because it has a larger surface, therefore US Eastcoast and Europe see very little change in sealevel, while some pacific islands are already gone.

  epistemic status: I remember reading this info a couple years ago, but the best source I can found now is that sentence from wikipedia:

  Changing ice masses also affect the distribution of sea water around the globe through gravity en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sea_level_rise

  but there’s no way to know for sure

  draw something from memory on a piece of paper, and then draw the same thing again while looking on a photo. --> can you tell the difference between the two drawings?

  I’m not asking you to spend all day trying to clean the park but you should at least do your best to not make it worse

  that is a useful mindset for those who fear a systemic solution.

  the people who would have to organise instead spend their effort on other things, like cleaning up dog shit; Or arguing how much shit you need to clean up, before you are morally allowed to advokate for a systemic solution.

  the more the anti-dogshitters are splintered, the easier it is for the pro-dogshitters to keep the status quo

  is it still owned by tencent?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Falling⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  because of two bodies can not occupy the same space, the feather and the ball will be in different position when you drop them. And therefor gravitation will pull the earth slightly more toward the ball and slightly less toward the feather.

  I like the explanation that devious spirits cannot say this phrase and that’s why it’s used

  Evil spirits can not say the same word twice in a row. Foxes can not say “moshi”. With “moshi moshi” you get a 2-for-1 special.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Data centre power use 'to surge six-fold in 10 years' due to boom in artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing, National Grid predicts⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  so far there is no significant quanum advantage, i.e. most things you can do on a quantum computer, you can do cheaper on a regular computer. Therefor there is not much value in quantum computing. Therefor I doubt we will see a significant surge in power-use due to quantum computing in the next 10 years

  but then they can still set colors, that we don’t. Or at least there are some colors they can differentiate between, that we can’t.

  e.g if they have a receptor for orange, yellow and red, then can differentiate between pure orange and orange that is 50% red and 50% yellow.

  So both is true: We have more colors (because of brain-things), but they still have some colors, that we don’t (because of receptors).

  does that matter? I though only the voltage and wattage would play a role
