- Comment on Far-right thugs throw rocks at Filipino NHS nurses on way to work 4 months ago:
Absolutely disgusting.
Poor nurses trying to save lives and they're paid back by having these racist EDL cunts throwing rocks at them.
Should get Keir Starmer send these pieces of shit over to Rwanda instead, and see how long they last.As @theskyisfalling said, these are the same ignorant arses that brought us Brexit, and continue to make our country look like an absolute laughing stock on the world stage.
- Comment on A kick right in the selbstbild 4 months ago:
Arguably their biggest mistake was trying to fight both world superpowers at once, in the USSR and Great Britain backed by the US.
I can't imagine how they thought that would go well, but thank fuck they did, cause I wouldn't want to see the world they envisioned. - Comment on Old AF 4 months ago:
Given that complex life as we know it is only about 500-600 million years old, around the time of the Cambrian Explosion, the only image that comes to mind is two Eukaryotic cells getting frisky, having a one replication stand, then parting ways
- Comment on Sam Altman's UBI study finds that money can buy happiness • The Register 4 months ago:
Duh. The phrase is meant to mean an excess of money can't buy you happiness - having enough money to pay off what you need to, and being able to spend some on yourself without worrying where your next paycheck comes from will of course make you more happy!
- Comment on Oh god, that can't be good... 5 months ago:
Makes you wonder how long it'll be until even the worst AI images are indistinguishable from human-produced images
- Comment on anon has movie night 5 months ago:
Most Greentexts are, but it's often more fun to joke as though it were not
- Comment on Anon is one sniff away 5 months ago:
You got me good with that punchline
- Comment on anon has movie night 5 months ago:
Anon managed a double homicide on the movie night and his social life in one go, all while being completely blind up his own arse. That shit's impressive.
- Comment on Anon is one sniff away 5 months ago:
at the end of the day my right shoulder smells of women's perfume
That's gotta count for something right?
If you have to ask this question, you know it doesn't count.
Also, I think you'd be better trying to flirt with the Salsa ladies than sniffing for their perfume on your shoulder
- Comment on Anon freezes time 5 months ago:
And that is why you should always test newfound superpowers on a small scale before blowing your load on freezing time for 6 months you depraved Anon
- Comment on The theory that we live in a simulation involves simulants running their own simulations; wouldn't that require impossibly more resources for the main sim? 5 months ago:
As others have said, our reference of time comes from our own universe's rules.
Ergo if rendering 1 second of out time took 10 years of their time, we wouldn't measure 10 years, we'd measure 1 second, so we'd have no way of knowing.Simulation theory is, at least for now, unfalsifiable. It's always a nonzero possibility because by the nature of it there's always a counterargument for any evidence against it, just like how most religions operate.

They're noisy, very noisy
- Comment on Children is bugs 5 months ago:
I mean it's a beautiful name, who really cares if it's named after a genus of Cicadas?
There are worse sounding "normal" names out there.
Plus it's named after OP's passion, I think that shows a lot of love - Comment on How long does it take for neurotypical (or just typical) people to get over a minor fight? 5 months ago:
As someone with ASD, I can't say I've seen that much difference in the time it takes NT/ND people to get over a fight.
While I have seen some consistency across the sexes, in that guys seem to hold onto arguments for less time on average, even that varies quite a lot.
- Comment on 🥲🥲🤡 5 months ago:
I too am absolutely pumped to live in a world where humam artistry is all but confined to the wealthy, and we all get AI generated pseudo-art instead! Woot woot!
- Comment on To all you outside of the US... 5 months ago:
Well I suppose the answer I'd give is that because of how right-wing the US is compared to much of the Western world, it becomes a patient zero for whatever the far-right is cooking up - which inevitably influences far-right groups in other Western countries
- Comment on I just cited myself. 5 months ago:
Again, if you started writing 0.999... on a piece of paper, it would never suddenly become 1, it would always be 0.999... - you know that to be true without even trying it.
The difference is virtually nonexistent, and that is what makes them mathematically equal, but there is a difference, otherwise there wouldn't be an infinitely long string of 9s between the two.
- Comment on I just cited myself. 5 months ago:
Any real world implementation of maths (such as the length of an object) would definitely be constricted to real world parameters, and the lowest length you can go to is the Planck length.
But that point wasn't just to talk about a plank of wood, it was to show how little difference the infinite 9s in 0.999... make.
- Comment on I just cited myself. 5 months ago:
It is mathematically equal to one, but it isn't physically one. If you wrote out 0.999... out to infinity, it'd never just suddenly round up to 1.
But the point I was trying to make is that I agree with the interpretation of the meme in that the above distinction literally doesn't matter - you could use either in a calculation and the answer wouldn't (or at least shouldn't) change.
That's pretty much the point I was trying to make in proving how little the difference makes in reality - that the universe wouldn't let you explore the infinity between the two, so at some point you would have to round to 1m, or go to a number 1x planck length below 1m.
- Comment on I just cited myself. 5 months ago:
0.999... / 3 = 0.333...
1 / 3 = 0.333...
Ergo 1 = 0.999...(Or see algebraic proof by @Valthorn)
If the difference between two numbers is so infinitesimally small they are in essence mathematically equal, then I see no reason to not address then as such.
If you tried to make a plank of wood 0.999...m long (and had the tools to do so), you'd soon find out the universe won't let you arbitrarily go on to infinity. You'd find that when you got to the planck length, you'd have to either round up the previous digit, resolving to 1, or stop at the last 9.
- Comment on Is it generally safe to walk through a field of cows? 5 months ago:
Cows, sure. Just don't startle them or go near their calfs. They're mostly just curious.
Bulls, only if you have to, but make it quick and stay as far away from them as you can. They're fiercely territorial and not afraid to show it.
- Comment on Automation 5 months ago:
Exactly!
Applicants are expected to dedicated hours of their time to writing their application and performing background research - both of which are becoming increasingly more tedious over time - so the least a company could bloody do is show some basic respect by paying an actual human being to come interview you!
- Comment on Automation 5 months ago:
The idea of AI automated job interviews sickens me. How little of a fuck do you have to give about applicants that you can't even be bothered to have even a single person interview them??
- Comment on Get scattered 5 months ago:
Yeah, I'm aware of the "God of the Gaps" idea.
But that's not what I'm talking about, nor are those the types of people I'm talking about.
The zealot types don't just avoid learning about science, they actively oppose it. They ask questions like those @Ibaudia said not because they want to know the answer, but because they're trying to sow seeds of doubt into those who see them.
Those questions aren't made for you or I to answer - and if you do try, they'll shout you down or sandbag you until you give up.
- Comment on Get scattered 5 months ago:
In my experience of these zealot types, it's that they don't want to know the answer, and won't accept any answer that isn't literally bulletproof all the way back to the beginning of time - no matter what you tell them, God did it.
It's like playing a pigeon at chess. It'll shit on the board and then strut around like it won.
- Comment on I don't appreciate that. 6 months ago:
Good to hear - from your post it looked like you were reporting the aftermath of clicking through all that, which sounded plan unfortunate
- Comment on I don't appreciate that. 6 months ago:
I hate to tell you, but that answering that poll was absolutely not worth the consent to spam you.
That "I'm not a resident of the EU" forced tick-box is a huge red-flag, and should already have you clicking away from that page. - Comment on Blow dryer was invented in 1920. People in 1919: 6 months ago:
Image and media hosting.
I can't speak for @wesker, but personally it's a pain in the backside to use with a VPN, so I tend to opt for alternatives
- Comment on Anon gets a nickname 6 months ago:
Honestly pretty wholesome by 4chan standards...
Also, what a Freudian slip from Cock's friend
- Comment on Blow dryer was invented in 1920. People in 1919: 6 months ago:
I do agree about not bogging instances down with attachment media costs on top of everything else, but there are alternatives to Imgur like Catbox made for this type of hosting
