- Comment on At what point do you consider a person an alcoholic? 2 days ago:
More than 5 drinks a week.
To me that’s kind of the cut off point. Because more than 5 you’re either drinking daily or binge drinking in your days off. If you’re an occasional drinker, 5 drinks is a lot and you’ll be drunk. Which is not something occasional drinkers are after.
Also, any amount of alcohol is bad for you. Carcinogenic at any amount, there is no lower limit. It should be extremely simple to not drink. And if you are in any situation where you feel it isn’t extremely simple to not drink, you’re not in a good place and you need to fix that. I’m not saying to not drink, I’m saying that it’s not smart to drink when you can’t say no.

This is a world wide stat. The numbers for chickens reach the quantities of the post. with 200 million chickens slaughtered per day.
- Comment on Fake moo 6 days ago:
About 900,000 cows are slaughtered every day. If every cow was 2 meters long, and they all walked right behind each other, this line of cows would stretch for 1800 kilometers. This represents the number of cows slaughtered every day.

- Comment on If God (or any creator of the universe) exists would he be made out of atoms? 3 weeks ago:
Also, but not just, if we consider classical theism (pantheism), then there would be nothing that God isn’t. As God, if we would think of God as the foundation of all being, could not be anything that isn’t. Since what isn’t is without foundation.
Also, but not just, if we accept panentheism, where God is everything that is and isn’t.
Basically the only time that anybody would accept God as ‘made out of atoms’ is if that person accepts the inherently and explicitly atheistic view of metaphysical physicalism. Arguing for God from physicalism is like arguing for social healthcare as a (US) republican. There is an inherent disconnect between the two.

Square space efficient packaging that you can finish within spoiling time, allowing for fresher products without additives. Easier to pour, packaging easily collapses for easier disposal. Fully printable and recyclable. A superior packaging in every single way.

- Comment on During the lead up to the Holocaust did the N... regime just kidnap people who they even thought were Jews? Kind of like ICE is doing to citizens today? 2 months ago:
There probably were random kidnappings.
But they only allowed Jews to live in ghetto’s in Nazi cities, so they knew exactly where to go. From there they were indiscriminate and retaliatory. But there was segregation before the mass deportation of Jews.
Also it was about the purity of the german blood and shit like that, so there were more allegations for people to be considered degenerate enough to be deported. Gays, gypsies, retardation, whatnot.

- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 3 months ago:
They are not mostly sugar, sugars are just a part of the nutrients. Most fruits don’t even have that much sugar in them, it varies wildly though. There is also the way these sugars are intertwined with fiber, that make it much harder for these sugars to be processed in your body. So the sugars are released over a greater period of time giving your body more time to react. as opposed to refined sugars. Fruits are always healthier than candy, cookies, or soda.
There is a lot more in fruits than just sugars, there are proteins, vitamins, minerals, fibers. Which are all necessary for a healthy body. Sugars as well are necessary for your body to function.
It is practically impossible, if you’re otherwise healthy, to eat too much fruit. I personally eat at the very least 3 kilos or 5 pounds of various fruits a week. within an otherwise varied (vegan) diet. I’ve done so for the past 10 years. I make sure to test my blood, and so far had zero issues except low vit. d. Which you can’t get from fruit.
Why is it healthy? Well, we evolved next to fruits. Our ancestors always plucked and eaten them for millions of years. Just like we’ve done with all kinds of plants. Our gi tract is the right length, our body cant make most vitamins itself and completely functions on sugars. Fruit is part of a varied diet.

- Comment on Not to get all religiony but why in the old testament God was all fire and brimstone and fatal consequences? But the new testament God is all about forgiveness and such?? 3 months ago:
My goodness, these comments make me feel we’re back in the edgy atheism days. Please.
The reason is because those texts are much older, and that was the style of religion practiced back then. Most God stories and stories about Gods in that period were like it. Most city states and tribal states had their own Gods that reflected them, and conflicts were gravely exaggerated. Also literally everything that happened in that state were an attribute or reflection of that particular God. With stories of how that attribute came to be, which reflected back in the people and in that way religion was a complex social interaction.
The people who wrote the stories we now know as the old Testament didnt write them as a part of a bible. These were stories of people who were taken out of their states and captured. Forced to live outside their land, but they took their God with them. Who became this omnipresent God that would lead people back to a promised land. Including all the complex social interaction people had with their mostly oral religious stories and traditions.
And it’s the continued tradition that lead to the formation of religious scholarship and the idea that Gods could be of the earth and not just of a state. Which brought about new thoughts, new traditions, new religious complexity written down in the New Testament. Which lead to the desire to make religious books encapsulating all of religious thought.
And only much later came literalism, the mistake to take everything in the Bible literal. which sparked the formation of atheism as we know it today.

- Comment on Why can't countries with vast deserts make solar farms to power the world? 4 months ago:
-
Power can only travel that far. Electricity gets lost during transport.
-
The sun shines everywhere.
So given these two things there is always a point where it is cheaper to build your own solar system than to get it from far away.
-
There are more renewable sources of power. Wind. Water. Heat.
-
The desert isn’t an euphemism for empty. It’s a climatological zone.
-
There is political power in having control over electricity/power needs. The wild swings in oil prices reflect this fact. Reliance and necessity makes it far more logical to maintain your own source of electricity/power.

- Comment on Has Charlie Kirk ever changed his views on a subject during a debate? 4 months ago:
He was never in it for personal growth he was in it for financial gains. He was a mere grifter, his opinions were for sale. There is a lot of money in right wing grifting when you reach his level of notoriety. His personal beliefs conveniently always pointed in the direction of money. Worth about $12m when he was executed. He believed in his bank accounts.
- Comment on How could AI be better than an encyclopedia? 4 months ago:
The problem will always be that you have to use an llm to ask questions in natural language. Which means it gets training data from outside whatever database you’re trying to get information from. There isn’t enough training data in an encyclopedia to make an llm.
- Comment on How could AI be better than an encyclopedia? 4 months ago:
that’s just circular reasoning, since understanding is needed for communication.
