  Taxes. Because I have a brain and understand how a civil, functioning society, works.

  Such painfully obvious AI. Hot water lines from your municipality… yikes. The amount of heat and energy loss for piping hot water, not to mention the excess heat abnormally warming soil temps… wtf.

  I mean, to be fair these guys are paid the lowest dollar and subcontracted at this point. They literally aren’t paid enough to make ends meet, they are too distracted worrying about their lives and family to both worrying about some poor design that involved having movable panels crossing a pattern forcing an unnecessarily specific alignment.

  You haven’t depluralised this, you morphed it from a viewing activity to a veritable “shit-down”.

  Looks like it was a combo of both, reading about it further. www.rd.com/…/americans-british-pronounce-zee/

  Regional dialects at first, but then the dictionary declared it the official pronunciation and shortly after the song was produced, which would have spread the use from being regional and encouraged homogenization

  And at least they aren’t being cut so fast that the last episode will come out as Riker playing on the holodeck just as the show was getting into the good stuff.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Signs that rhyme⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Americans used to pronounce Z the same as the rest of the world until someone wrote the ABC song and decided it needed to rhyme with V, and then an entire generation grew up saying it wrong and it stuck. At least that is what I’ve heard in Canada.

  It’s also why there is a Canadian version of Sesame street where the last verse doesnt rhyme because up until the late 90s our TV censors used to straight up nope things that would cause kids to be confused about how things should be pronounced.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The PS3's comeback was insane⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I still have my original PS3. Had to replace the hardrive once.

  Still have the Wii, which had a bad disk reader in the first 30 days. I had to send it to the repair shop in Toronto and they had it fixed and back to me within 48 hours for free.

  My first XBox 360 lasted 2 days past it’s 1 year warranty date and died. Disk drive thought everything was a DVD. MS wanted $100 for repairs plus shipping. I bought a used 360 instead for $80. That one also died 1 year later, red ring. Next one I bought a replacement, one of the lower end models. Lasted 10 days past the 1 year warranty… Then thought everything was a DVD… This keeps going. By the time 2016 rolled around I had gone through 10 of those pieces of shit. I finally gave up on the games I liked on that system, and I’ve never bought a new MS system since. I honestly wonder what their true sales were if you deduped it by removing replacements from their tally.

  I have my original PS2, PS3, PS4, GameCube, SNES, Wii, Switch.

  There are quality gaming consoles out there, and then there’s whatever the fuck MS spews onto the market.

  Yes, good points. I didn’t mean they were exclusive or invented in north america, more that the concept of viewing mayo as a required part of a meat/starch based salad is a very NA perspective.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I LOVE POTATO SALAD⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Nah, Germans have a delicious hot potato salad with no mayo, mayo salads are a North American thing. The French have a potato salad with no mayo as well.

  I’m not trolling. This is simply not an illusion.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨woag⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Ok those rooms are certainly illusions. My mind was tricked and even after reading how they work I still cannot quite see how when I watch the video. A perfect illusion.

  I still wouldn’t call the post for this thread an illusion as there is no trick, just pure perspective. You simply tilt your phone, you see what is happening, and you understand it because its basic physics you were taught in elementary.

  This is like the amateur magician. A trickster that knows a few party tricks but is so bad at executing them they are no illusionist. But a master magician uses simple things like perspective and skill to create tricks that are such great illusions that the scientific mind cannot quite work out what has really just happened even though they know it’s a trick. This post is the amateur magician, the Ames room is the master. Both use perspective but in different ways on different levels.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨woag⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  There is nothing erroneous about this perception.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨woag⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I have no context for this example, have a link? I’ve seen the crazy kitchen at the Museum of Science and Tech in Ottawa that has a similarly themed illusion, but in that one the floors are level but painted in a way that tricks your brain into thinking its angled, but its not, which is 100% illusion.

  Thus what I am imagining for your example is that the floor is in fact angled, but the paint makes it look straight, so the short person is infact elevated above the tall person in a way you cannot tell, creating an effect where perspective due to a physical difference makes you think they are on the same level but the illusion provided by the floor messes with that, creating an illusion that is really just perspective.

  But there is no trick in this post. You know you’re tilting the phone, there’s no illusion. Its pure angles and you’re completely aware of what is occuring, thus no illusion. The definition of illusion is pretty clear, what you are seeing must be false or erroneous.

  noun

  1. An erroneous perception of reality.

     “Mirrors gave the illusion of spaciousness.”

  2. An erroneous concept or belief.

  “The notion that money can buy happiness is an illusion.” 3. The condition of being deceived by a false perception or belief.

  “spent months flailing about in illusion.”
