- Comment on Cotylorhynchus, a genus of late Permian synapsids. It's herbivorous and it's huge gut was possibly necessary to digest the nutrient-poor plant life it fed on. 16 hours ago:
I don’t understand how they used it correctly and then didn’t

- Comment on conditional probability 2 weeks ago:
That was an interesting read but it’s not the math per encounter. They strangely used lifetime stats and ignored number of encounters so it doesn’t answer that question.
Some of the other commenters who point out flaws in the math seem to get their comments deleted or downvoted so that doesn’t help. It’s a controversial topic which makes it really hard to just crunch numbers without being accused of picking a side or trying to skew the results.
Coming up with the stat that 10% of men will commit a rape in their lifetimes is wild though, and super sad if true.
- Comment on Why do Americans always presume that everyone speaks English 2 weeks ago:
Wait, in that case maybe complaining is a bit justified? Different of course of it’s a place off the beaten path, but if it’s a hotbed of English-speaking tourists then having staff that speak their language seems pretty important.
Guess it’s really hard to say without more context (story of the internet).
- Comment on YEET 2 weeks ago:
I disagree. He did the math assuming all the energy would be dissipated but that’s assuming it came to a stop which is the whole debate. Essentially a mathy begging the question.
The jet of hot gasses coming up around and with the cover could’ve provided a good bit of protection from friction for the first bit (where the atmosphere would have the greatest effect) and ablative effects and the short travel time though the atmosphere could’ve been enough for a likely slightly smaller and very hot cover to blast into space.

The charitable interpretation is that it was just hyperbole as a joke. Unfortunately, for that to be true, he would have to think it’s s ridiculous thing to say and I’m not sure he does.

- Comment on So this is how my neighbor fixes his fence. 4 weeks ago:
What a poor job lol. Looks like the fence has buck teeth!
Those are nails. It’d be better if they were screws as the extra length would be easy to snap off. Nails are less brittle so you need to cut them off or bend them over.

- Comment on They're called leaves for a reason. 4 weeks ago:
It really depends on how many leaves we’re talking; a thin, evenly distributed layer? Yeah that’s just mulch and is great. A thicker layer that turns slimy and dense? That grass is a goner. Area and species of leaves probably pays a big part I imagine. I have an area near a fence where the leaves piled up and were left a year and now there’s no grass there, even a couple years later (there’s a super embedded layer of decomposing leaves that’s blocking everything else out even after removing the bulk of the leaves)
Of course, there’s never room for nuance in these conversations.

Yes! My thoughts exactly. Sometimes less is more
- Comment on Please people, it's not that hard 1 month ago:
I find the punchline hits better when it’s repeated with the new context but that’s subjective of course. It’s how it was done in the original meme too from what I can tell.

It’s so much better when the text is the same for the second and fourth panels, instead of the last one just being “right?”.

Wow, the original comic that started the meme is from 2015! And this version is from 2018 apparently? I think I’m missing a decade or so from my life

- Comment on Half as Hot 1 month ago:
Is the temperature scale directly proportional to the heat energy? I think it is since the amount of energy needed to raise water by 1 degree is the same no matter the starting temperature for example. Is 100°K double the heat energy of 50°K?
