  I don’t post actual threads, but my most downvoted comment was this one that I’m quite proud of:

  Debian is a joke, it is so far out of date it is unusable for anything except cave-painting or maybe a stone circle.

  Ubuntu is way better.

  So yeah, I’d recommend OP baits linuxmemes. I think it has more users, more touchy, less sense of humour. But you’re also less likely to get your post banned in a memes forum.

  Did you try asking “Will you please downvote this?” in “nostupidquestions”.

  I don’t think it’ll beat ragebait though.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you care about up/down votes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  I think there should be a “equivocal” vote.

  I think that’s what boost was supposed to be for, or was that just on kbin.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you care about up/down votes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Down votes are useful for estimating the exactly how badly damaged the sense of humour in the community is.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you care about up/down votes?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Down votes are troll treasure.

  Here, have a downvote for your collection.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨is white light "white" because that's what our start emits?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  There are other better answers here already.

  But you got me wondering, how red are red dwarfs really? Maybe they’re just like a few % more red than our sun, but I bet they’re still quite broad band.

  So you maybe could have a similar range of colour reflection and absorption. And maybe there’s enough R,G,B to saturate the receptors. I assume white is just that, when all color receptors are near saturated.

  The eyes might not need to differ much, the brain can probably do everything in post processing anyway. All evolution needs to do to your eyes is to gather enough raw data that your brain can learn to differentiate, food, water, danger, things to breed with, and so on.

  Maybe reduce the sensitivity of red receptor a wee bit, or maybe not, if plants are still absorbing lots of red, and we live amongst plants . . .

  That’s alright, when the 100% chalk contraceptive pill and the polyethylene ‘super sensitive’ condom hit the market I think they’ll do ok.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Does noise from different nearby sources 'add up'? Or do the different sources cancel each other out? In any case, please provide a formula and an example⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Not the one you asked but - I thought it read more like an exam question than a crapgpt question.

  It is this part that rubbed me the wrong way: “Please provide formulas and an example.”

  That’s like the part where the examiner is giving a hints about how the marks will be awarded.

  Either way here’s my equation: P(Answer | Question and constraint on answer ) < P(Answer | Question)

  I assume that’s the OOPs intention though; to block out some of the noise from the responses. I only see one formula so far (excluding my stupid one) so I’m not sure if it worked strictly, but I’d be surprised it it hasn’t filtered out some answers.

  It was a typo, he actually cursed gifs because he was sick of all the memes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the point is that the tech doesn’t materially change most starwars characters interactions from present day. It’s not really scifi because the science / tech doesn’t shape how the characters interact dramatically.

  If you give the characters some real scifi-tech like put them inside computers, or have backup throwaway clone bodies, or jack them in to a hive mind, or give them time travel or alternate universes then the whole dramatic context of the character interactions has to change and the story has to be shaped by the technology to some degree. It’d likely be a bit more alien as our innate sense of constraints and jeopardy doesn’t apply.

  Only really the deathstar is anything different tech wise - it is only used once, and becomes more like a part of the maguffin.

  The other fantastic dramatic features that starwars does use that are alien to us - precognition, mind control, reincarnation(sortof) - are magic rather than tech.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How are Americans so outgoing and extroverted and how can I become the same?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Americans” is a stupidly large and diverse population to say anything meaningful about. It’s extremely unlikely that that any population of humans of such a size doesn’t include some individuals who are more extreme than you, both more and less, for almost all traits.

  You’re less likely to observe introverts than extroverts because one of those types will tend to do things in a way that are less likely to get your attention. You’re might well be experiencing observation/selection bias, possibly also reinforced by confirmation bias.

  But whatever you think to be the “typical”, even if you could estimate it using some unbiased sampling method, it is often not a helpful way describe the whole population, or at best a reductive “average” that has limited useful applications.

  TLDR - human populations are diverse. I don’t think any nation has ever effectively brainwashed or eugenicised their population into a single homogeneous group.

  Well, its on lemmy and you’re several comments deep.

  You’re almost bound to hit a vein of unsolicited socialism/communism by that point - it’s basic geology.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Reality vs. male delusion⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It seems to me that quite a lot of people want flies and that’s why quite a lot of resources are put into that type of shit.

  I was trying to explain to this dude in the pub - who didn’t understand my explanation that I don’t have a hairstyle - that I thought vanity was a waste of resources, and he looked at me like: “but everyone wants to look good, right?” He was confused. I was confused.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is coal and fossil fuels still used?⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  cheap and easy.

  It’s many thousands of years of solar power , concentated in to a storable, portable and fairly accessible and transmutable form.

  Countries don’t “generate” coal and oil, they suck it out of the ground. It was generated by thousands to millions of years of life and accumulated geological processes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨RIP obsolete tech⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I heard that the higher the data density on DVD and BR means the higher the failure rate. Though i have no real evidence of that myself.

  Maybe one or two bits corrupted here or there will only cause some unnoticeable artefacts anyway.

  The concept of “the average person” is a good example of the type of crass generalisation that propagndists often use.
