  What is it article 1.4 of? Where are the rest of the articles?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why are the SMS limits orders of magnitude smaller than data limits bandwidth-wise?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago⁩:

  In the US. I’m assuming OP is not in the US.

  Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo

  They sure do. Tragic how bullying ends up being passed along like that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Don’t know why, and maybe the prompt says to occasionally make a mistake or something? Or could be hand edited after it was generated, but I also don’t know why.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  The rambling ‘questions’ like this are bot posts.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Since light cannot pass through a black hole does that mean light has mass? Also why does light form a singularity in a black hole? Is that like a fixed point on a map or something?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, just get a tester. In reality the weight difference is immeasurably small (like completely swamped by dust particles)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Since light cannot pass through a black hole does that mean light has mass? Also why does light form a singularity in a black hole? Is that like a fixed point on a map or something?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s “yes, but not rest mass.” - light has energy and energy is mass. (Specifically m=E/c²)

  In theory a sensitive enough scale could measure the difference between a charged battery and a drained one* without the battery gaining or losing any matter. Not even electrons, since each one leaving the negative end is replaced by one going in the positive end, and vice versa when charging. This is the type of mass light has, just pure energy.

  *I did the math a while back and if I remember right for a typical AA size Ni-MH battery the difference would be about the weight of a bacterium.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there hope for humanity? Or are we just destined or designed to wipe our own selves out?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s exactly what the article I linked was about.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there hope for humanity? Or are we just destined or designed to wipe our own selves out?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh sure, I am sure they weren’t saying humanity would last that long (although technology may help), just ‘any plants’.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there hope for humanity? Or are we just destined or designed to wipe our own selves out?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I recently saw an estimate of around 2 billion more years.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Is there hope for humanity? Or are we just destined or designed to wipe our own selves out?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think civilization in its current form may end, and with it billions of people, but as a species we are pretty adaptable, I think there will be lots of survivors and they will be able to thrive eventually.

  But I think it’s even more likely that there won’t be any one big collapse, and things will either oscillate or reach a steady equilibrium for millennia to come.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a game that you know is bad but really enjoy(ed)?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  “Bad” is of course subjective, but the games I play most are gacha games. Amazing graphics and music, etc. in a free to play* game.

  *Of course they are designed to inspire spending money, and I do somewhat: The fixed monthly IAPs only, if I would need to spend extra to get a specific character or weapon I wait for a rerun.

  But I like anime girls, and these games are full of them.

  Regular glasses do not help.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Played Piano with My Washing Machine⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My mom had the fridge, dishwasher, clothes washer, and dryer. And over the years every one of them had stuff break. Worst was the ice maker in the fridge, those are notorious. But each of the others had at least one minor feature fail and more than one of them also had the major feature fail at least once.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I Played Piano with My Washing Machine⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  My mom had Samsung appliances, so I knew where this was going the moment he opened its door.

  Side note unrelated to their musical tendencies: never buy Samsung appliances.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh I’ve heard this one. What if it’s already full of infinite people and infinitely more arrive?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think it’s 5. I might have forgotten one or two, but it’s near there.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨AH LAWDY GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m still really sad that the Turing Machine one got enough votes, but was rejected by the LEGO judges.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Music just isn't good anymore⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t listen to music much, but I feel like this graph would be nearly inverted for me. Didn’t care much for the music I was forced to hear on the school bus, but inherited my mom’s enjoyment of both oldies and classical, and enjoy some modern music (which is just much more diverse than when I grew up, so there’s something for everyone)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Japanese card shop management sim "You’re a Scalper, Aren’t you?" lets you interrogate suspected scalpers and choose between profits and moral integrity⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  What does ‘scalper’ mean in this context? I only know what it means for event tickets

  Pretty sure before hiring they can check for criminal records.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do u?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  That’s magnolias. This is the much older one that doesn’t even have pollinators because flowers didn’t exist yet.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why is my user marked as a bot?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Specifically in the Web interface, not an app.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What was the stupidest form of US defaultism you've encountered in real life whilst they're abroad?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I was super young, like maybe 4-5 or something, when my family took a short trip south from San Diego (USA) into Tijuana, Mexico since the border was right there and it wasn’t a big deal back then.

  I remember seeing price tags and being really surprised… That they were in US dollars.

  I don’t think I had even started school yet, but I still knew that different country = different language and different money. Not sure how people can miss that so easily.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨tuff enuff⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The limit that the 3 body problem presents is that there is no exact solution, and inexact solutions will eventually desynchronize so much as to become worthless for predictions. But the key word is ‘eventually’ - if your initial measurements are good, there could be years (and in the case of the planets of the solar system, millions of years) worth of useful predictions.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Most Horrifying Sci-Fi Story Ever Written⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Oh yeah, I remember reading this (and other stories by the same author) on Kuro5hin decades ago. I’m not sure I agree with the superlative, but it was definitely a freaky story.

  Haven’t watched the video version yet, but from the first few minutes it seems like just an audio book of the text.
