Is this an indicator or straight up ADHD specific? Because this is me constantly
- Comment on Just the essentials 1 day ago:
You lucky bastard. Where I live it’s basically monthly or fortnightly. I’ve never heard of anyone being paid weekly.
- Comment on I would personally just treat whatever direction I'm facing at the time as North and go from there. 1 week ago:
It hurts me that people don’t realise you know where the sun rises and sets (roughly), anywhere, by looking up and roughly knowing what time it is. Other than midday, then fair enough.

I don’t like the overall message society gives that men need to be “good at sex” instead of people mutually enjoying the experience.
To me it’s akin to someone calling you boring to talk with, while they contribute nothing to the conversation other than showing up.

Please think of your family haha: wikihow.com/Enable-the-Double-Tap-Period-Shortcut… Or www.techbone.net/…/double-space-full-stop
If you use a different keyboard, then you’re on your own.
Or just don’t double tap space!

Funnily enough, this is the case for men too. Hence all the “this has never happened to me before” memes on TV shows in the 90s and 00s.
- Comment on Black owner here.... without context that sounds really bad 1 week ago:
“just as many”? Press X to doubt. I don’t doubt you’ve heard some, but people just don’t care about cat breeds in the same way people care about dog breeds.
Hence the meme

I will be shocked if the cost of living comes down at a notable rate when compared to other developed countries.
Conservatives have never been better at managing the economy, yet people believe they are, for some reason ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Whoops :(

I can’t believe this is actually real, or the most professional looking joke I’ve seen in a while: theowo.london
- Comment on Calculatable 2 weeks ago:
Let’s be honest, if you are doing serious math, you’ll have a graphing calculator to do way more stuff, and the controls are much more like a mini computer (with a backspace key, and being able to delete individual lines of history, or all of the history with menus)

3000€ seems like barely a drop in the bucket of campaigning costs, totally worth it lol. To the point that’s not even a disincentive.
- Comment on Anon visits Paris 3 weeks ago:
To me it’s telling that among all of the restaurants in my city, the only French restaurants are outrageously fancy ones.
(Not counting patisseries)
I’m sure home cooking in France is fine, but because of the mix of cultures in Melbourne, I guess I just have never understood what the fuss about French food is.
Clearly it’s not winning any hearts here because I never seen any restaurants that normal people go to.
Or I am just biased against fancy food in general.
But Italian food? Yeah, everywhere.

HCl is already in your stomach, what’s the big deal of a little in the lungs?!?

In the end, it doesn’t even matter
Is this “Um ackchyually” bait? 😅

I would be willing to bet there are more people in the US using Kelvin in their jobs than Rankine.
Lb-mole? That one I’m not sure.
To me, these wanna-be scientific units are weird, like, just use metric at that point 😅
Also 1000th of an inch. Like, come on! You’re just teasing us
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 4 weeks ago:
It’s not cursed, it’s just a different way of grouping. Nothing about grouping in multiples of 10³ is a more natural grouping, were just more used to it.
And I’m pointing out how metric prefixes are actually euro-centric, and that’s annoying for them. But there’s nothing fundamentally worse about breaking digits in groups of 4, rather than 3
1,000,000,000,000 = 1,0000,0000,0000 (10^12^) [Meme of black and white muscular arms embracing.]
Look up the indian system, now that’s actually cursed.
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 4 weeks ago:
Absolutely, mm > cm all the way. Other than you putting s at the end of mm, we don’t take the Lord’s (metric) name in vain around here.
I do feel kind of sorry for East Asia though, since their languages seperate at intervals of 10⁴, rather than 10³. The giga and mega prefixes just make no sense there. 1 GW = 10,0000,0000 W and 1 MW = 100,0000.
Language strikes again
Not sure, but perhaps they would prefer a prefix of 10^-4^ rather than mm (10^-3^).

Stay strong friend 🫡, and don’t you let them take your numerals from you
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 4 weeks ago:
1.852 all the way in every single context. I will die on this hill haha
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 4 weeks ago:
You do you, but this is a big no-no from my point of view.
For example separating the prefix m from mm would be rather confusing, and look like another unit.
You can, however, put 10^x wherever you like 👍
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 4 weeks ago:
Can I ask why, though? I’m also an engineer and I just never spell it out, if I can avoid it (so far, luckily, haven’t had push back since I’m on delivery and not proposals or anything like that.)
To me, it’s just more annoying to read it as words, and no matter what you do, mistakes can still happen, including when it’s spelled out.
Just my 2 cents.
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 4 weeks ago:
Touche, yeah, I’d totally be on board if everyone just uses $3.5*10⁹ or $3.5e9. Good luck getting it catch on outside eng/science circles though haha
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 4 weeks ago:
Oh damn, that is some nails on a chalkboard level stuff.
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 4 weeks ago:
Yeah that’s fair. I personally prefer the first one, but I can see how it makes sense to not use digits there.
+1 ∆ for you (change my view points, a thing from r/changemyview)
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 4 weeks ago:
I’ll allow billion, but personally my preference is using powers of 10 or unit prefixes.
Just I’m not gonna be mad about the newspaper writing 3.5 billion dollars.
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 4 weeks ago:
Only if you have a unit.
273 GW 👍
Else, looks kind weird, to my eyes anyway. But fair point haha
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 4 weeks ago:
Yeah I’m with you on this. I’m not sure if this was clear in the meme (I am an engineer), but I think the style guides can go shove it. I’m always going to write the symbols, not spell it out.
- Comment on Literally Nineteen Eighty-Four 4 weeks ago:
Hahaha, of course, it makes so much sense now
