- Comment on Aight. Let's be honest. How many of you dress for yourselves, and how many dress for others? 3 days ago:
I 100% dress for others, I don’t really care about clothing, and I hate to buy new clothes. I only do it because I think I may be nearing some limit of what is considered decent to wear in the presence of other people, who 100% always are better dressed than me.
The other day I was at the supermarket, and had seen they had a special offer on “plaice” I think it’s called.
Well the special offer was sold out, and I asked an employee if they had anymore.
The employee was extremely nice, and asked how many I had planned to buy? And I said 2, then he took 2 bags that had 50% more content, and wrote the price of the special offer on them, and said I should just mention his name at the register.
I though Wow that stellar service, and it was only when I came home I realized I had some of my worst pants on that are so warn they had holes in them.
I have newer pants, but I don’t like them, because they have no sway and they are some sort of stretch material to be tight, and I absolutely hate that. And I also hate shopping for clothes.Anyways because my clothes are (to put it mildly) sub par for normal people, I figured he probably thought I was some sort of destitute.
I am married, and our economy is absolutely fine, we own an almost paid out house, and we have a car that was bought cash without borrowing, and we have a good amount of money in the bank.
Anyways I don’t care, maybe because I don’t have to. I just want clothes that are comfortable.
- Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 1 week ago:
OK, that only confirms to me that he was in fact insane. There is no way we are supposed to eat only fruit, it simply doesn’t provide any real energy, but consumes as much as it yields, meaning there is no way to survive on fruit alone.

So where’s does he claim to only eat fruit?
Are you confusing it with him recommending to use Apple? - Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 1 week ago:
You made 2 false claims, and now you say you don’t actually know what you are talking about.
Yes, I kind of figured that out already. - Comment on Why are fruits and berries healthy, even though they are mostly just sugar? 1 week ago:
If lembot_0004 is a bot, it is in fact a shitty bot as was commented, that gives clearly false information.
It was clearly an error in judgement by the moderator to remove the above post.

Fructose is the element in sugar that actually taste sweet, it is also the part that is unhealthy. it acts somewhat like alcohol.
Giving similar problems and can also cause dependency. - Comment on Is it true that the natural lifespan of humans is only 38 years old and we only live past that because of loads of modern medicines/technology? 2 weeks ago:
Average disregarding race or culture.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
Your question seems mostly nonsensical, we are not “house trained”, and what do you mean by “rather than controlled”?
Is your question based on biblical or another form of faith?But in short regarding our social behavior, the principle of it is not very different from social behaviors of other animals like dogs or chimpanzees. We “behave” because we are social animals and it’s in our DNA to work for the benefit of the the group.
Obviously misbehavior is generally rooted in conflict of interests, which can naturally occur in all groups. They are absolutely not generally a result of mania. - Comment on Is it true that the natural lifespan of humans is only 38 years old and we only live past that because of loads of modern medicines/technology? 2 weeks ago:
Average lifespan used to be shorter because of the amount of infant mortality.
That is completely wrong. discovermagazine.com/what-was-the-life-expectancy…
Other research reveals that the lifespan of Homo sapiens may have changed from the Middle Paleolithic to the later Upper Paleolithic, since the ratio of older to younger remains increases. The same research shows that starting about 30,000 years ago at the beginning of the Upper Paleolithic, the average lifespan began to push past 30 years.
Note that Lifespan is NOT the same as life expectancy:
my.clevelandclinic.org/health/articles/lifespan
Lifespan is the maximum length of time that a person can live
So 30000 years ago 30 years was pretty much the maximum age a person could achieve. Life expectancy would probably have been 15-20.
Read my other comment, the study is probably pretty close to the truth.

Tribal nomads of 100000 did not live to their 60’s.
AFAIK they rarely lived beyond 30.discovermagazine.com/what-was-the-life-expectancy…

It’s OK, we have evolved to be intelligent enough to also evolve our society and science to enable us to live far beyond what was needed as a tribal nomadic species.
I don’t like to reveal too much personal info here, but to me you are still a child.

beginning of civilization
Beginning of civilization is not the natural lifespan either, even early civilization has advantages that can extend natural life.
Clearly we are already ageing at 38 years old. - Comment on Is it true that the natural lifespan of humans is only 38 years old and we only live past that because of loads of modern medicines/technology? 2 weeks ago:
Nobody dies “naturally” of old age at 38.
But genetically we were originally nomads, and AFAIK the nomads of a 100000 years ago, had a far shorter average lifespan than after we settled and began farming. Also people of nomadic tribes in the rain forests of South America today, often don’t live longer than that on average AFAIK.When we look at animals, it is also not uncommon that a tamed animal pet can live twice as long or more than they usually do in the wild. For humans if modern environment has similar impact compared to the harsh life as a nomadic people, the double of 38 is 76 years, and that’s pretty close to our average lifespan today.
So I certainly wouldn’t dismiss the claim outright, but the article is very thin on details on the science of how they arrived at this apart from “DNA”.

I think many people stopped buying it, because they use machines at home that have built in grinders.

- Comment on What is a good source to read about thought experiments? 2 weeks ago:
Yes and no, it’s based on observed interference by Newton, Which was noted looked like how rings in water can interfere.
With relativity the difference is the huge amount of thought experiments that Einstein was able to connect to a coherent theory. That actually explains a huge part of how nature works.
- Comment on What is a good source to read about thought experiments? 2 weeks ago:
Maybe not harder than those, but they are amazing, because the conclusions from them actually work.
There are thought experiments that are unsolvable paradoxes, but these are cool exactly because they are not.
So I’d say Einsteins are among the coolest.
Also double slit experiment is not so much a thought experiment as it is a phenomenon that is hard to explain. - Comment on Just got this flyer in the mail today. 2 weeks ago:

She is either suicidal or very weird. I’d ask her if suicide is actually something she sometimes think about.
Problem is she will most likely brush it off if she is, so it’s a tough one.
It might be worth a lot to tell her you appreciate her. - Comment on Who is your favourite Superman? 1 month ago:

- Comment on How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips? 1 month ago:
You don’t write what market you are describing but:
The PC market has been dwindling for decades, the PC gaming market has also been dwindling with consoles taking bigger share, and the past 5-10 years due to high GPU prices that have been wildly unstable.
Lately prices have returned to more normal levels when accounting for inflation, which could explain a bump this year.
USA is an outlier because of tariffs. - Comment on How did it come to be that only two companies supply all of the world's PC graphics chips? 1 month ago:
Maybe you are right, but I think they did that because they thought that would help them remain competitive, keeping the profit share that would normally go to board vendors, allowing them to sell cheaper while still making money, and compete better against Nvidia.
Maybe I remember it wrong, but I think Voodoo was already dying with Voodoo 2.
