  At the end of the day all governments are desperately afraid of making people angry (at them), from the healthiest democracy to the most totalitarian dictatorship

  One would think so. But a quick glance at Russia, or even the current US one would show you otherwise.

  Most governments don’t seem to pay a lot of attention to it. Democracies tend to be the most concerned ones, but it still varies a lot.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨How does the Chinese government even work⁩ ⁨⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  China seems very stable to me. Their government is afraid of making people angry, and removing basic help like that is very likely to make people angry.

  But also, it seems to me that the “generally” in “generally free” is doing some work. AFAIK, some care is free, some care isn’t. And the pretty good quality of life doesn’t seem to be universally distributed. Both of those seem to be improving quickly, but the “people are better than in the US” impression one may take from that comment seems to be a misrepresentation.

  He’s supposed to be super-strong.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨spidermanpointing.jpg⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m pretty sure none of those cakes are.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What goes here?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  The circle in on the front, near the screen or on the back near the wall?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Everyone wants a turn⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Hey! Ranking the species by distance is really unfair!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Bog⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even then, I can imagine that several people only discover that they aren’t in fact ok with dozens of large spiders climbing through their heads after it happens.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🦈🦈🦈⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  And they are way more compressed than on those images.

  I now realized I never had a good idea of how sharks look like.

  Can your esthetics be reduced into a number so we can put it in a line?

  Yeah, didn’t thing so…

  Now, get some philosopher to understand that “meta-kpi” thing. Where does it end? Where does it start? And make them reduce both to a number so we can use their work.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do you slice it??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  How many stones does a big rock weight?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do you slice it??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Make sure to get the same number of spots too.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨how do you slice it??⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  People usually measure asteroids by mass (but then, those people are already abnormal, so who knows?), if so, it’s something around the size of a cow.

  Or maybe they could use metric…

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Protons have mass⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They just don’t congregate.

  Hum… wait… Something is wrong here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Prove your humanity.⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Computers are probably better on this than humans by now.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨🎶Somewhere in the ether 🎵⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  So… After you found the file you can use this to find it?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Clamdalf!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Either your comment is missing a comma, or I have to inform that I don’t plan to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨It's on your blood!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, I’m betting on plain old lead.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Byeeeeeee⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nor can you throw a spaceship around on the Moon.

  So maybe that cartoon isn’t about the Moon.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨💀 💀 💀⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  In many places around the world, it would be outright boiling. But I imagine internal organs would need a larger temperature.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Permian Park⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, is their diet varied enough that they would accept politicians instead?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Le Penguini⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  NZ penguins are almost certainly counted on the number over Australia.

  The fact that each entire continent gets a single number is misleading… But then, that’s why we are here.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn sure I tried.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, I was a kid just trying to harass the insects, not trying to get rid of them.

  They would fly off the skimmer anyway, and if your pool is the only water body around, they would be back in no time.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Damn sure I tried.⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried throwing water on top of it?

  One could imagine this would suffice, but no, it’s hydrophobic.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Anon crunches some numbers⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, it took a really long time for people to start adding numbers.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Play dead⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  For what color of bear you should impersonate an Interpol agent then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨hehe 👉👈⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  They ARE fairly safe, a lot of things have to go wrong

  Well. Are they grounded? Because they look like any loose wire or even induction could make the stuff on the photo lethal. Not something common, but pretty clearly one single point of failure.

  If they are grounded, it would also not be viable for an adult to push it around.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Holes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  At the close vicinity where they don’t actually agree if it’s inside or outside.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Black Holes⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  All of the rest of the physics seems to check out, though

  What is the entire problem, because all of the rest of the physics don’t get you coherent answers around a black hole.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Alexa, how do I remove cooties?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Also, it’s bothering me that it’s not immediate.

  If he was going to be wooshed, he could at least get the details right…
