Wanna some good old Internet toxicity?

And honestly looks a little awkward, including IRL.
But some still drive those and feel fine

You sit the way your head is above, so you see the road.
Seen such things in Amsterdam.
- Comment on Anon likes bikes 10 months ago:
I completely agree with your arguments, but may I kindly ask you to not use such aggressive tone? This place is generally very kind, and it is saddening to see aggression coming from seemingly nowhere. The same arguments can be listed politely.

Remote jobs are unironically super good for environment, aside from all other amazing advantages they offer.

They’re all screwing you over so bad, it’s 1,20€ in my country
- Comment on As if the tip actually goes to the dashers. 10 months ago:
This entire tipping thing is terrible - including for dashers themselves.
It means dashers income heavily relies on strangers being kind enough to leave some extra.
It means customers are gonna feel bad for not paying more than their order amount.
It means company can employ slave labor for extremely low pay and still have people willing to do this.
Tipping benefits only one party - the companies. We need to stop it.
- Comment on If only it was like that 10 months ago:
That’s entirely a matter of habit. There is nothing special about 0°F or 100°F, you’ve been lied to.
We don’t think -18°C to 38°C, we think -50°C to +50°C, with 0°C differentiating between snow/ice, “wintery” weather, and rain/mud, “non-wintery” one. That’s how we know whether to take umbrella (no point if it snows, hat is your best friend), what kind of shoes are the best fit - cold-resistant or highly waterproof - or which kind of jacket is gonna fit the situation.
When it’s not winter, normal range is 0-40°C, with 20°C designating comfort temperature.

Seconding this.
The reason we even care is that maintaining two systems is heavily impractical and adds to confusion all around the world - simply because 4% of world’s population can’t bother to make a change.
We wouldn’t care what you use - perfect barbecue temperature scale, length unit of football field, weights in blue whales - if it wouldn’t affect the rest 96% of the world who have to decipher your blubber.
Everyone uses Celsius and metric, make a damn switch, it’s not that hard and you won’t lose anything. You only use it because you’ve used to it, there is literally nothing else to it. Everyone switched, everyone’s happy with it. Do it already.

Does anyone feel the difference of 1°C?
- Comment on If only it was like that 10 months ago:
Fahrenheit’s hometown is certainly the metric everyone should use /s
Celsius is not arbitrary, it is based on objective physical reality, qnd the only arbitrary thing about it is atmospheric pressure, which is more or less equal on the sea level. The rest is us finding convenient patterns, not the other way around.
On sub-zero, it is the same idea: -5°C is a weather for a light winter jacket, -15°C is a weather for a heavy winter jacket, -25°C is for heavy jacket and some pullover, etc etc.
The 0-40 argument demonstrates that we don’t need some arbitrary scale based on Fahrenheit’s recording in his hometown in order to conveniently estimate temperature. The groups for each dozen of degrees are just for easy reference. 17 degrees is optional for your taste, to me it’s light jacket weather in overcast or t-shirt weather when sunny. There are no perfect temperatures for anything and anyone, and it just doesn’t make sense to get into more detail.
As per granularity, people invented decimals, but normally it’s simply not necessary to tell the difference between 17°C and 18°C, let alone between 63°F and 64°F. There are so many factors influencing the temperature feeling, and one degree ain’t one.
- Comment on If only it was like that 10 months ago:
Then you map it onto Celsius and see 32°F is 0°C, 71°F is 21,7°C and 100°F is 37,8°C.
Which coincides almost perfectly with the 0-20-40 framework we intuitively use in Celsius. 0 is deadly cold without warm clothes, 10 is cold, 20 is warm, 30 is hot and 40 is deadly hot.
Turns out Celsius is good for weather, too.
or it’s illuminati - Comment on If only it was like that 10 months ago:
No it’s not.
What makes 0°F (-17,7°C) special for a human body? Is it the limit after which we don’t feel any colder? No.
And what makes 100°F (37,7°C) special? Can’t we feel any hotter? No. Is it the body temperature? No. What is it?
If we change 0°F to, say, 0°C and 100°F to 50°C, does it change the notion that 0°F is very cold for a human body and that 100°F is very hot?
It is super arbitrary and it’s hilarious when Fahrenheit is posed as a “human-centric” scale.

Sure
Lemmy as a project is free from ideology, but the spirit of main instances is like this. That’s what I’m saying.

I found it both weird (sometimes in a bad way) and fascinating.
From all life taught me, more online freedom normally gives rise to far-right extremism, and this place is surprisingly…left?
But yes, it might be skewed. As a left (and not Democrat kind of left, more like communist kind of left) I can’t not enjoy it, but I understand some people can be left out and that’s not nice to them.
The general ethos really is left-wing here.

Honestly even on political topics here you are much more likely to face a civil debate. There are exceptions, but chances are chances.

- Comment on Electric eel 10 months ago:
1A amperage is a feature of saltwater eels, ones that produce electricity at much lower voltages, like 10-80V. This is a natural adaptation allowing them to maximize power output in a relatively highly conductive environment.
The freshwater eels, the ones producing 600-800V, are only able to output about 0,1A, because that’s just how power works.
1A at 600V would be a guaranteed instakill for a human.
- Comment on Electric eel 10 months ago:
An eel can only generate so much power, so essentially the voltage will drop so that the power will be lower.
600V at 0,01A will just turn to, say, 100V at 0,06A if the resistance between two points will be 1667 Ohm.
In that sense, amperage is super important. We should always consider capabilities of the power source, this is big part of electrical grid engineering.
- Comment on Electric eel 10 months ago:
That will heavily depend on the surroundings, your body, and contact points.
Also, freshwater and saltwater eels approach it differently, with freshwater ones (the ones delivering those 600 volts) able to give out amperage of around 0,01A.
This may not seem like much, but it is actually enough to stun and paralyze a human under certain circumstances, and this is exactly what we see here. If there’s nobody to break the contact, the current will keep flowing for several more seconds, and if you’re unlucky, your heart can stop, with all the consequences it entails.

Meaty, throbbing, frighteningly-erect rest-of-the-world outlet
- Comment on Electric eel 10 months ago:
Not 3x more powerful, but rather having 3x higher voltage.
But still enough power to shock an adult human.

Glasses.
Lookz everyone votes for penny, but really if your social skills are exceptional, rendering you able to “flawlessly navigate social situations”, you can get a lot of it anytime.
Want a super high paying job? Glasses! Wanna hit that girl? Glasses! Wanna get anything you want? Stay cool, with the use of glasses!
Penny does seem OP, but only for as long as it’s active, and while it is on cooldown (which is, on average, month minus 12 hours) you live your regular life with all the misery, and even if you’ve managed to accumulate money and influence through your lucky streaks, there’s always a lot that can go wrong. Besides, a random nature of a penny means you can never rely on it, and always have to assume you’ll lose. Betting on a penny makes you the ultimate RNG person, with dramatic rises and even more dramatic falls. Betting on glasses makes you insanely powerful on demand. Always. Anytime.
