  Eh, there are worse people who might try to show up to your pride parade.

  Like cops.

  Food prices in the US are shocking

  This isn’t in the US, though. This is (probably) Mexico.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🗿⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Well, I suspect it was both.

  They’re going to have lots of skilled, well-treated and well-paid workers there. The kind of workers doing the organizing, planning, directing, and finish work. Their equivalent of engineers, managers, foremen, skilled craftsman. I’m sure they could fill an entire dormitory with just decorative hieroglyphics carvers alone. A large pyramid would require hundreds, maybe thousands of these skilled/experienced workers.

  But then there’s also the 200 poor bastards hauling ropes to pull a giant stone slab up a ramp. And another 200 waiting at the bottom for their turn to haul the next one. And I’m betting those workers were not well-paid and well-treated. Those are the ones who were likely slaves, used basically as beasts of burden.

  Burn, not electrocute.

  The big grounding busbar there is giving the current a much better path to ground than your body would, so you’re pretty much entirely safe from electric shock.

  It do be pretty hot, tho, so your fingie is going to be ouchie burn burn.

  Sure is an improvement over “this” and “I also choose this guy’s wife”.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨borger⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  You can’t get ‘electrocuted’ from an earphone battery, it’s not nearly powerful enough.

  Well now, just to be contrary, I want to design a circuit that could deliver a deadly shock even with such a small battery.

  I’m going to need a research lab, a few dozen live pigs, an assistant to do the soldering for me, and probably a lot of capacitors … but I think it could be done. The key, I think, will be finding just the right combination of amperage, voltage, and frequency to best disrupt the rhythm of the heart.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨borger⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  And burgers are shit food on the best of days anyway.

  Nah, fam. There is such a thing as a good burger out there, and it can be pretty damn good. You won’t find it at some 24/7 fast food place, though.

  Yeah, waterproof headphones exist … but washing your hair is going to be a pain.

  Better to just have a portable speaker outside the shower.

  hydrogen is a bitch to store and transport.

  Could just produce it in-situ, maybe? Lots of chemical reactions produce hydrogen gas as a byproduct.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨wat⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Okay … enjoy your painkillers, man.

  Incoming vibe killer: no, farts do not count as negative mass. They do in fact have positive mass. You will weigh ever so slightly less after farting. And, in theory, if you were in a frictionless environment, you could propel yourself by farting, because the fart’s mass would act as a reaction mass and propel you like a (very weak and stinky) rocket.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Come on, just do it.⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Fill them with hydrogen instead.

  • Cheaper and not a limited resource.

  • More buoyant, which will help lift the weight of clothes and such.

  • If a few of them burst into flames along the way, that will only freak out the fundies even more.

  And you better fucking believe I was a thick uncut ‘me’. A better ‘me’. A ‘me’ with a thick heavy cock on display

  IMO, all the dick options in Cyberpunk were on the smaller side.

  If that’s bigger and better than yours … well, that kind of says a lot, lol.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibe management⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  How do you know that I have consciousness, and I’m not just a perfect mimic?

  It really is more of a philosophical problem than a technological/scientific one.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Vibe management⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Eh…

  With current tech? No. LLMs are kind of a dead end and will probably never become truly sentient. The LLM will probably end up being just part of a true AGI someday in the future – the speech center of the AI’s brain. Right now, we’re chatting with the speech center only, without the rest of the brain, which is why it sucks.

  But I don’t think figuring out how consciousness actually works is a prerequisite. As we move beyond LLMs and make different permutations of more complex systems, I expect consciousness will spontaneously develop in one, taking us by surprise. Maybe, if we’re lucky, seeing that happen will give us new insights into how consciousness works. (Though given how a lot of AI development is already a ‘black box’, I’m doubting it.) But I really do think we’ll accidentally make something with consciousness before we ever understand how consciousness works. Heck, an advanced enough AI might be the first one that actually cracks the consciousness code and is able to describe how it works.

  lol, including the ‘big’, given the few farmers I’ve known.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i'mma breed you hotter⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Spiciness is a defense mechanism, but not against humans or other animals.

  Spiciness doesn’t protect a plant against mammals – many mammals actually enjoy it, and humans aren’t the only ones who actually prefer spicier peppers. Birds can’t even taste it at all. And it does nothing to prevent insects.

  What it actually does prevent is fungal infections. Spicier peppers are less susceptible to fungus problems. And this is backed up by observations in the wild: wild peppers from wetter, more humid regions tend to be spicier, while wild peppers from dry regions tend to be less spicy.

  If we’re to reducto ad absurdum it, exactly how much hesitation turns a yes to a no? In fractions of a second, please.
