The other number should be the one that's mind boggling. We see the number "million" so much and don't grasp its scale.

Never apologize for giving your opinion. If you do it badly, then do what you did and expand on it. I don't like olives either. Nasty things. :D But I get other people do, and probably don't like things I do. I can appreciate why people may like them, even prefer them over lots of things, I just don't myself. Can't change that. And the olives are always there if I ever get a craving for them, just not my thing.
- Comment on Two-shay 1 day ago:
Don't. Everyone has their preferences, which was the point.

Speaking as a straight guy, I can't blame her for not finding men attractive.
- Comment on If you're a parent, how do you prevent your kid from watching AI slop? 1 week ago:
This is good parenting. You can't always be there to guide them or restrict them, nor should you want to be. You instead help them understand how to navigate the world themselves smartly. This is true for anything, not just what they see on the internet.
- Comment on Your name better be Caleb 1 week ago:
Caleb is probably a wish that isn't even going to happen with those numbers; better be more concerned about Ryan.
- Comment on Microsoft Edge is getting a Copilot-inspired redesign 2 weeks ago:
Copying an old Waterfox logo. They really are going downhill.
- Comment on friendship ended with pi, now sigma is my best friend 2 weeks ago:
I'm... good with this.
- Comment on I am definitely a bird me personally 2 weeks ago:
Well, it shouldn't, if people would mind their business.
- Comment on I am definitely a bird me personally 2 weeks ago:
Normally bees are female, right? Worker drones are sterile female, and only when it's queen swarm time do males get hatched.
But honestly, as long as the stalls are enclosed, who the hell cares? We all have to do our business, and it doesn't matter who is in the room or other stalls.
- Comment on i can't handle coffee 2 weeks ago:
The way to get past the bad part is to remember than you WON'T remember the lesson and you'll have the moment of enjoyment with coffee again.
- Comment on The Guardian teaches gen-z dating lingo 2 weeks ago:
So "the friends we made along the way".
- Comment on What is with these videos where it's just someone reaction to shit someone else is doing? 2 weeks ago:
That's 2.5B with 80 views a day, or 1.25 with 160 a day. Sadly those numbers aren't that unbelievable the way people consume short media. Just average it out so some make up for others only watching a few.

Oh, that's you. Good, I thought it was me.
- Comment on "Refrigerate after opening and store in the refrigerator door." Why the door for this mayo? 2 weeks ago:
And depending on your refrigerator's settings and insulation, the door compartments may be cold enough for more stable things but not for things like milk. Too me a bit to figure out having the milk in the door was both convenient and cutting its lifetime down a lot. Only takes a few degrees, plus the large door shelf is usually higher up, where the warmer air is.
- Comment on Epstein Vectors and Values 2 weeks ago:
The protomolecule was out there anyway, just a matter of when. Same plot as in Alien(s), it's almost like this is what corporations do.
- Comment on Epstein Vectors and Values 2 weeks ago:
Great, they went crazy with the find and replace and redacted all the math and physics work that went into figuring out the Epstein Fusion Drive. Now we'll never get off this rock.
- Comment on How is Donald Trump able to get away with being part of a child trafficking ring but I get 20 years in jail for littering? 2 weeks ago:
You're probably right, as that is the tendency of most people, to not have to go outside a comfort zone. It's also assuming that's true, and for all you know people who are stating this very thing might also be trying to do local action and failing because they're alone. So rather than put someone down for asking a valid question, we could explore why people aren't doing much of anything overall, and what can be done to change that outside of things getting far worse (which they will, as they have before).
- Comment on Off the Rails 2 weeks ago:
Dawkins' book "Climbing Mount Improbable" is a great and easy read to introduce the idea of making something complex and seemingly designed for its purpose a much more probable thing to happen if broken into small changes over huge amounts of time. And it's like 30 years old, so probably outdated with more and better evidence now.
There is an old Youtube video by cdk007 (that's still up!) that tackles a related fallacy, where finding a watch on the beach implies a watchmaker because nothing complex can evolve. He created a simulation using watch parts and evolutionary rules to show complexity does arise with the right conditions and enough time. Image

"Intelligent design"
Oh, I don't think so.
Is that phrase even used anymore, or did it run its course of insanity and die off?
- Comment on Andor was such a clever show 3 weeks ago:
Only one minor flaw with this - Syril may have had a brief second of awareness that he was on the wrong side and had been deluded his whole life. I can't say I've seen examples of this in reality.
- Comment on Is there an endgame to Trump he is trying to obtain? Or is he making it up along the way at the cost of Americans? 3 weeks ago:
In addition to what's been mentioned, he has certain protections as long as he's President.
- Comment on A swing and a miss 4 weeks ago:
"Some of those that work forces..." is a bad metaphor too then, I guess.
- Comment on SIMPLE CHALLANGE 4 weeks ago:
A person of culture.
- Comment on Sea Level 4 weeks ago:
Like other elements, just a bit farther reach with their fields. Fun fact, nothing is solid. When you try and touch something, it's actually just forces against forces. Atoms are primarily made of nothing.
- Comment on Do you ever watch old classic TV shows and realize that they are all dead 4 weeks ago:
Do you research everything you watch beforehand? That's a very interesting and restricting filter for yourself.
Mind blowing realization - any media you watch, even live stream, is from a past that's gone by the time you see it.
The next level is - how real is anything that you perceive? "What is... real?" - Morpheus

- Comment on Longing, Rusted, Seventeen, Daybreak, Furnace, Nine, Benign, Homecoming, One, Boxcar 4 weeks ago:
I was thinking Beakman's World. Apparently it's just such a common phrasing in high school science that it became a meme without anyone's particular influence.
- Comment on Battle Bun 5 weeks ago:
And Overgrowth. Some incredible programming.
- Comment on THIS is a real test of how old you are. If you score 20 your future is short 5 weeks ago:
And if you were lucky you'd have a higher end stereo system that could fade in the sounds too. Combine that with a pause, you could avoid that jarring noise of starting and stopping recording between songs. Just had to find the stations that didn't have the DJs who talked halfway through the song intro.
I'm a solid 20. Those of you who didn't get very high scores, you don't know what you missed.
