I really, really hope an alternative to MasterCard and Visa appears, at least here in EU.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 1 week ago:
No, the faster the speed of sound, the less delay there is.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 1 week ago:
Basically, when you push something, you push molecules, those in turn push the other molecules etc., that’s what it is.
The delay is there every time, it’s just usually really fast, the speed of sound in solid mediums is much bigger than the speed of sound in air.
- Comment on Why can't a liquid move faster than the speed of sound in that medium? 1 week ago:
You already got some answers, but I thought of something you might find interesting: if you had a multiple kilometers long pole in a vacuum and pushed on it, the push itself would propagate at the speed of sound!
Meaning the other end wouldn’t really move immediately, but it would instead take multiple seconds or even minutes if the pole is large enough. If it’s made of oak and is 9 km long, it would take around 3 seconds (the speed of sound in oak is around 3 km/s IIRC).
- Comment on Russia and Belarus plan to create AI model based on “traditional values” 2 weeks ago:
Ah, the traditional Russian values of hiding the truth from your superiors because there’s a culture of shooting the messenger of the bad news. Can’t see this going wrong when training an AI.
- Comment on Day 356 of posting a Daily Screenshot from the games I've been playing 2 weeks ago:
I’m weirdly excited that soon it will be a full year of daily screenshots.
- Comment on is homophobia associated with homosexual arousal 3 weeks ago:
I can think of multiple reasons a straight man could get aroused by seeing a dick.
First, erections don’t occur only because of arousal, they can happen from adrenaline as well. I guess if you’re a homophobe and are about to watch gay porn as part of research, you might get a bit of adrenaline.
Another reason I can think of is that most straight men see a dick when they watch porn, meaning their brain may make the association of “dick on screen = some hot nude lady is gonna show up”.
- Comment on A video game on 'gold diggers' is fuelling a sexism debate in China 3 weeks ago:
Critics like her say the very term “gold digger” reeks of misogyny.
No, the term itself doesn’t imply gender at all.
Anyway, I never really saw the problem with gold diggers, it’s a relationship like any other - you give your partner something they need and the partner gives you something you need.
So what if one of the parties needs money and the other a young woman to feel better? If there’s no coercion and no actual scamming, I don’t see the problem.
- Comment on Why does everyone hate Income tax ? 3 weeks ago:
Congrats on the US defaultism! I’m not from the US, so stick your crack comment up your arse.
- Comment on Why does everyone hate Income tax ? 3 weeks ago:
Because the government has all the fucking data it needs to just tell me how much I owe, but no they force me to calculate it myself every year. Or to pay an accountant because it’s a horrible mess of a form.
My main issue is with taxes in general. Well over half of my income (some sources suggest up to 70%) ends up being paid as some kind of tax.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 3 weeks ago:
So because you do it correctly, everyone else should get fucked or what? Like, you know how many people have bad parents?
So, congrats, your kids won’t suffer from that (or maybe they will once they have their own money because the path way of “spend a $1, get an in-game item, get an instant rush of feel-good hormones” is forming even with moderation). But other kids may, unless of course you think that it’s somehow their fault they have shitty parents.
So no, I really don’t want this around kids whose lives will be ruined just so your kids can have a fun time (which they can have in other ways, including other games).
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 3 weeks ago:
Nah, I’m obsessed with corporations not ruining kids lives just to get few more dollars.
Also, please, stop putting words into other people’s mouths.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 3 weeks ago:
Cool, that’s why half the games you listed are just gambling machines in disguise?
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 3 weeks ago:
Ah, the classic “world hunger is a myth, I have eaten today.”
I’m not saying there are not the rare gems in mobile games (just bought Don’t Starve on Android last month!), but like 99% of games for mobile are just s money making scheme using dark patterns to influence your brain to give them money.
And congrats on not spending on micro transactions! You do realize the world doesn’t revolve around how your perceive things, right? If young people are exposed to micro transactions like that, it alters their brains and not in a good way. And that’s science, there really isn’t much you can argue with.
- Comment on Old gamers don't understand what mobile gaming has become 3 weeks ago:
Who would’ve thunk, young people with brains that are not fully developed tend to prefer games with addictive elements.

If it fits, great! If it doesn’t, you didn’t use enough tape.
- Comment on What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole? 1 month ago:
Yeah, I didn’t mean surviving reaching the center. But on the other hand, a singularity cannot exist (as far as we know), so what’s going on inside the black hole is one big unknown.
- Comment on What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole? 1 month ago:
Nothing near a black hole breaks physics. And I’d argue that outside what the heck is singularity really breaks physics as we know it.
- Comment on What would happen if the Earth was sucked into a black hole? 1 month ago:
If it’s very large and stationary, we could survive, couldn’t we?

So, the EU got rid of cancer? That sounds about right.

Had that kind of activity with a woman with very impressive muscle control once, it was very interesting.

Of course.
- Comment on Does the average person know markdown? 2 months ago:
And yet you just used it! Some parts of markdown were made to be intuitive and natural like:
- Numbering your items
- will automatically format them
- into ordered lists
- and if you use
-it’s an unordered list
- same with asterisk

- Comment on Would racism in the USA still exist if humans had automated robots in the 1800s? 2 months ago:
Easy to see in EU, Slavic people are seen as less than, even though we’re as white as everyone else around and in the particular case of my country, we have more Germanic genes than Slavic, but hey, prejudices don’t need to make sense.
