- Comment on How do I deal with the outside world when I have germaphobia and don't really like outside? 6 days ago:
“I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.”
- Comment on How do we know that the ratio between the circumference and the diameter of a circle is preserved across radius sizes? 1 week ago:
You’re looking for proofs that Pi is constant.
- Comment on How solar panels generate electricity 1 week ago:
By ignoring the second half of their comment you’ve missed the subtly that “panel” is an overly broad term and there are several different kinds of panels that collect energy from the sun for human use, among them photovoltaics, panels for heating residential water (often seen as black roof panels with pipes), and complex mirror (aka reflective panels) arrangements for melting salts. All of them use panels in some form.
- Comment on Why does everyone put celery in soup stock? 1 week ago:
It is a basic ingredient in mirepoix, which is used as a base for a variety of sauces, soups, gravies, and stews. It’s just one component of what is basically just a fresh vegetable mix. You can always just substitute whatever you have on hand or local that fits, just like you would with a stir-fry or fried rice. It’s less about the specific vegetables than it is about the way they are prepared and what they contribute. Onions and carrots add sweetness. Celery balances those with its saltiness. Celery and garlic feel to me like a bridge to the other proper herbs like parsley and thyme that usually go in the mirepoix I combine with a good roux to make gravy.
- Comment on Why does every commercial depiction of honey involve one of this things? Literally nobody has ever seen one of these in real life 2 weeks ago:
Not the ones that use these. Most tools are unpractical when you don’t understand how to use them.

You’re supposed to leave it in the jar when not in use.

That’s exactly what AI slop would say.
- Comment on An unsettling indie game about horses keeps getting banned from stores 3 weeks ago:
So, by that definition and the definition everyone else is using, the game has been banned from various marketplaces for games. Context matters. In this context ban is used EXACTLY the same way we talk about banned books at the library.
- Comment on Why does a community called no stupid questions allow comments that say the question is stupid? 5 weeks ago:
It’s often framed as a system of moral philosophies and the way the impact our behavior and interactions with the world and society. So yes, in many ways, veganism is a religion, or at the very least religion adjacent. Religions aren’t limited to belief in a magical sky daddy.
- Comment on Dude read the rules of woman only community and decided to post anyway 5 weeks ago:
Whataboutism is a non-sequitor that disrupts and discourages productive discussion.
- Comment on Is it weird that i talk to my pets more articulately than i sometimes talk to actual people? 1 month ago:
Do don’t do this. You’re just a few lines of code.
- Comment on What's a 'common sense' thing that you genuinely don't understand, and have been too embarrassed to ask about until now? 1 month ago:
You’re not not pushing 30. You’re a bot.
- Comment on [deleted] 1 month ago:
It was probably a accident or incident that resulted in a death. They may have been collecting evidence. There are even some police in my area that uses conventional land surveying equipment and rapid high density laser scanners. Precise measurements of things like skids marks and other evidence of how the vehicles came to rest can be used to estimate initial speeds and confirm or refute the testimony of witnesses.

This gives me God Emperor of Dune vibes.
- Comment on Everyone Who Worked On A Video Game Needs To Be In The Credits [Aftermath] 2 months ago:
They should hide somewhere in the game itself the real credits of the people that spent significant effort to make the game. An Easter Egg if you will. Like just after defeating the dragon, you find a scroll in their horde with the real credits.

Just another way to dehumanize.

The diffraction effects from a pinhole camera are not what make them work.
I didn’t say this, you did. You’re chasing your own tail.
- Comment on Not a game: Cards Against Humanity avoids tariffs by ditching rules, explaining jokes 2 months ago:
Is this wit or a genuine request that one of us explainsthejoke.com?
- Comment on I c it! 2 months ago:
The ratio of the size of the image to the distance from the pinhole is the same as the ratio of the size of the sun to the distance to the sun.
- Comment on I c it! 2 months ago:
A pinhole camera has no lens. The effect here is like a pinhole camera, but a pinhole camera is nothing at all like a lens. Pinholes diffract light. Lens refract light.

Dude I’m not arguing that it’s correct or not, I’m saying that this is the way many people used to (and how some still do) use the language.
- Comment on Missing banana for scale. 2 months ago:
Yeah, that’s why my comment was basically words and phrases have shifting connotations as time passes and contexts change.

Fake and real photograph used to have a very different meaning indeed.

- Comment on In the long ago past, people needed to do THIS 2 months ago:
It used to remember passwords, it briefly got a gig memorizing drink orders, now it mostly focuses remembering project numbers and does a little 2FA code work on the side.
- Comment on I Got This Right, Right? 3 months ago:
So, far right parents in a conservative religion in a Republican town in a Republican state produced a child so tortured by a culture of hate and violence that as soon as they even start to lean either way their instinct is murder. Breaking the cycle of hate is relatively easy compared to breaking the cycle of violence. The statements they made to their roommate (even if that heresay is true) just confirm that they were a troubled child from a troubled culture trying to change. It should surprise no one that those childish attempts would be a VERY twisted reflection of the ideal. So no, he was not part of the left. Just a child in pain reacting the only way their conservative upbringing taught them.

Hot take: Most metal is just Classical Music II Electric Bugaloo.
- Comment on What strategy would you use to estimate the number of hazelnuts 3 months ago:
I’d ask a couple thousand people to guess in private. So the most popular answer would probably be either surprisingly close to correct or Cuppy McHazelnutface.
- Comment on This was a big deal. You could play a game on your cell phone 3 months ago:
I used to playing games on my calculator. I suppose you still can, but I used to do it. I remember I had RISK on my TI-89, but the games on my TI-82 were on par with the version of snake shown in the post.

Primates make tools to help eating ants, among other things. It’s a bit of an unusual snack, but people eat ants too. We are anteaters? How much of your diet needs to be ants before you’re considered an anteater?

Not to be confused with disco snails.
