No, it’s a race and the winner takes all.
- Comment on *confused flatfish noises* 1 day ago:
Is it actually possible for a fish-like animal to have eyes at the front (i.e. an animal with a hydrodynamic shape that spends all its time underwater)?
I feel like that’s really difficult for evolution to achieve, especially because the mouth has to go somewhere at the front too. I mean, look at where the lights of a high-speed train are placed and their shape.
Intuitively it feels easier to just put the eyes on the side. Plus it feels like there’s a lower risk of damaging them when bumping into something.
- Comment on Euler's Meme 6 days ago:
Let M be the set of all memes.
Is this well-defined? How can you tell whether something is an element of M?
f(x) is a meme making fun of x for all x in M
Does such an f even exist? Why? Obviously it exists for some x in M but for all?
Thus there exists a normie meme n
What’s a normie meme? Why does its existance follow?
and a unique function F for all natural number k
This again requires f to be well-defined.
The set M is also equipped with a dankness norm.
Prove it has that norm and please also prove it fulfills all properties of a norm.
with property that ||F(k)|| ≤ ||F(k+1)|| for all k in N.
[proof required]. Idea for a counterexample: A meme making fun of a meme in such a terrible way it cannot possibly be “danker”. Though this would require f^-1(terrible meme making fun of meme) to not be empty.
- Comment on When "AI" content becomes indistinguishable from human-made content, is there, philosophically speaking, any meaningful differences between the two? 2 weeks ago:
Disagree slightly, human created content can have intent but doesn’t automatically have it.
A corporate ad does not have any artistic merit besides grabbing as much attention as possible. Actually creative ads where some thought was put in are the very rare exception.
The same goes with a lot of pop music today. I cannot speak too much about English language pop but German pop is nothing more than fast food. See the Wikipedia article of Menschen Leben Tanzen Welt.
Or take a look at video games. How much artistic effort is put into AAA games? Maybe someone spent 40 hours making the lootboxes as satisfying as possible to open but that’s probably where the most thought was put in.
And movies? Aren’t Disney’s recent “live remakes” of their old, successful animated movies anything but CGI slop? Sure, I admit it takes a lot of effort to make and animate all these models. Just like it takes effort to shit when you’re constipated.
Honestly, the only thing distinguishing AI from megacorp content is that the latter has more consistency and fewer “mistakes” than the former. The sole intent of both is making money.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 2 weeks ago:
The bible is most definitely subject to interpretation based on the reason 95% of it is illegible without interpretation.
As far as I know, taking that thing literally is a very Protestant/Evangelical way of looking at it.
Like, I distinctly remember in catholic education at school (since that was at the time my “official” religion) the teacher mentioning this. As an example they mentioned Jesus allegedly walking on water. Was it a miracle actually performed? Maybe. More likely it’s just a story made up to convey a message about Jesus since humans cannot physically walk on water and the act of walking on water alone is meaningless without interpretation.
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 2 weeks ago:
Your description made me read it like “pooned” at first.
- Comment on Parkinson's sufferer wins six figure payout from GlaxoSmithKline over drug that turned him into a 'gay sex and gambling addict' 2 weeks ago:
One more key point:
The court heard that Requip’s side-effects had been made public in 2006, but had reportedly been known for years.
If the manufacturer did not know about these side effects despite their best efforts the awarded damages would presumably have been lower. And if the side effects were known to the patient prior to taking the drug, there wouldn’t have been a case at all.

Torrenting for commercial use is probably worse, legally speaking.

- Comment on May or may not be based on some comments I've read 5 weeks ago:
Fair enough, I thought the “Fuck the colorblind” meme/image was somewhat known and changing it to “Fuck the imgur-blind” would make sense.
At least it will – presumably – make more sense for nearly every single British person that might see this in a couple of hours.
Though I do agree imgur sucks. I usually use img.bb when I need external image hosting, catbox occasionally blocks the IP address(es) of my VPN.
- Comment on May or may not be based on some comments I've read 5 weeks ago:
You didn’t put this on imgur! Now every Brit can tell what it says >:(
- Comment on May or may not be based on some comments I've read 5 weeks ago:
I now see how posting this at 12 am UTC could lead to more colorblind people than British people stumbling across this meme first.

I support Palestine because I believe they are the perpetrators of genocide.
We are not the same.
- Comment on Clock logic 1 month ago:
To some extent, though I still often hear people using the 12 hour system.
Just yesterday I’ve heard someone complain about their night shift which starts at 6.
Especially because in German you can’t say “half 17” for 16:30, only “half 5”. You save two whole syllables with this way over “sixteen thirty”!

Not gonna lie, that’s such a boring, corporate term.
Germans use the much more creative expression of travelling to Balconia.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 2 months ago:
Same here.
A pattern in almost every song, book, poem, movie?
Like greed? Antisocial behavior? Populism? Lies? Belief in your own supremacy? Capitalism?
Honestly, my first thoughts were they eitnessed Cthulu. Though I suspect they intentionally chose to phrase it such that it invokes this analogy.
If we ignore the pattern aspect they mentioned maybe how history repeats itself? How tyranny emerges and sustains itself on fear and oppression?
I have no clue. It’s so vague.

- Comment on EU tax officials confront the most pressing legal question of our time: If you sell RuneScape gold to someone and they use it to buy a magic sword, do you still have to pay taxes? 2 months ago:
According to the German (I have not found an EU equivalent) office for statistics, you are part of the top 1% of full-time workers if you earn >213,286€ per year:
www.destatis.de/DE/Presse/…/PD25_134_621.html
Sure, this doesn’t include billionaires who don’t work but there just aren’t enough of them to matter. It’s not like there are hundreds of thousands billionaires in Germany.

Earning 400,000€ in two years makes you part of the 1% though?? Where else would this guy be? Upper middle class?

The face is bigger than normal size I think. The proportions of the face itself seem mostly fine, yet the eyes are far too high up his head.
- Comment on Clock logic 2 months ago:
Fun fact: Many countries use both systems actually.
For speaking, it’s quicker to say something like: “The party starts at 8” instead of “The party starts at 20 o’clock”.
For writing though, you would never use the 12 hour system.

- Comment on Wikipedia is under attack — and how it can survive 2 months ago:
It definitely cannot go to the EU. I don’t believe any EU country permits private online libraries.
Plus the entire Wayback Machine would be considered systematic copyright infringement since the Internet Archive doesn’t obtain permission prior to archival. And if you don’t have permission then it is automatic copyright infeingement.
