- Comment on Transmen who have had bottom surgery, have you ever sat on your scrotum by accident? 1 hour ago:
this happens a few times a decade and it is one of the more humiliating experiences
No. Why do you think so?
- Comment on Do you ever simply not understand a piece of text no matter how many times you read it despite the fact that you understand the language and individual words? 3 hours ago:
Seems it was culture in your example. Culture may give new meanings to words. You don’t know one, you can look it up. But if you don’t know five words at once, you are lost.
- Comment on People who live in hot climates, how do you deal with the heat? 12 hours ago:
Have a look at the map here, and also at the satellite view. Zoom in: 37,0593067, 15,2976834
It is a >2000 year old town, still alive and inhabited (mostly by tourists nowadays). People had no air condition back then.
The buildings are made of natural stone. The walls are as heavy as possible. The streets are as narrow as possible (some can be used with a car, some cannot).
I have been there on vacation for two weeks and the effect of this way of building a city is huge! The sun barely reaches the ground in these narrow streets. The heavy walls do not heat up much in the lower floors. They keep some the ground’s coolness - and today, some of the air condition’s coolness as well, but the local people told me that they use their air condition only in the 3-4 hottest month’s of the year.
- Comment on how normal is it to snore at 13/14 years old? 1 day ago:
snoring at that age is not normal and a sign of sleep apnea.
They’re just jealous. They know perfectly well that snoring indicates a superior intellect.
- Comment on If a criminal says a cop planted drugs or whatever on them why don't they ask for a finger print test? And vice versa a cop could also request it to clear up everything? 2 days ago:
It’s actually British courts who are special. And unfortunately Britain has exported their way into all their colonies.
In the British view of the world, it is generally assumed that everybody is lying all the time, even in court. All evidence and all words of witnesses are assumed to belong to one of the parties = lying in their favor (If you don’t like the term “lying” here, you can replace it by “performing a good show”).
In Germany, witnesses belong to nobody (except if they are are involved, or if they are spouse/relatives to one of the people who are involved etc.) and therefore it is generally assumed that they are free to tell the truth.

Well, that’s a continent of 57 different countries.
- Comment on If a criminal says a cop planted drugs or whatever on them why don't they ask for a finger print test? And vice versa a cop could also request it to clear up everything? 3 days ago:
many police programs incentivize or measure an officers efficiency based on the number of arrests or tickets they produce.
I call that very unethical.

This site
Some random lawyer.
like German police can and will use your words against you in court.
Again: police records and collects stuff. They do not argue in court.
What the accused has told the police will usable by all sides equally in court.
- Comment on If a criminal says a cop planted drugs or whatever on them why don't they ask for a finger print test? And vice versa a cop could also request it to clear up everything? 3 days ago:
Police have to collect proof, whether it works for or against a suspect. Other suspects are possible, too. That follows directly from the general presumption of innocence. Only the judge can end that presumption, with his verdict.

Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. Never for you.
What shitty country is that?
- Comment on How is the current AI bubble when compared to the .com bubble in the early 2000's? 4 days ago:
Lots of companies earned a ton of investment funding
But even the investments are focusing now on fewer, large companies.
In the dotcom era, investment funding was falling on everyone, like the rain.
- Comment on How is the current AI bubble when compared to the .com bubble in the early 2000's? 4 days ago:
In the dotcom era things were easy. You could set up a website and make a business out of it in no time. Small effort. If it didn’t perform, you deleted it.
No “Big Tech” that was ruling and owning everything, like today. The existing telco’s were actually big, but they had no clue. Lawmakers had no clue either.
- Comment on Why is Tesla market cap so high ? 5 days ago:
Usamerican investors love to hear the bigmouth stuff from Massa Elon. In addition, they expect some support by the next bigmouth president.
- Comment on Was Isaac Newton physics jesus? 5 days ago:
Thank you for answering at least one of my questions, the last one, in so many words.
EOD. - Comment on Was Isaac Newton physics jesus? 5 days ago:
Mercury’s orbit
I wasn’t talking about Astronomy at all.
Lorentz transformation
That was needed only for the end results. Not in the introductory thoughts that I was talking about.
There was no way special relativity could’ve been found even half a century earlier
Again you are looking at the end results only, when the theory was complete.
Have you even read my comment?
Have you even read Einstein?
- Comment on Anyone have success trapping live insects? I feel like this should be easy, but I have no ideas. 5 days ago:
If they live with you for a long while already, then they do not need any of the extra food in your trap. They have plenty.
- Comment on Was Isaac Newton physics jesus? 5 days ago:
General Relativity needed lots and lots of the math that has been developed after Newton, even shortly before Einstein (and also he himself has developed some of it).
- Comment on Was Isaac Newton physics jesus? 5 days ago:
I firmly believe Newton would have gotten to relativity before Einstien if he were born at the same time.
But it wasn’t the end results and complex formulas of Einstein’s theory that showed the flaws and gaps in Newton’s mechanics.
It was the basic questions and thought experiments in Einstein’s first script. About basic geometry, length and width. The flow of time, the speed of a signal. Concurrency.
It should have been possible to think these thoughts at Newton’s time.
- Comment on Was Isaac Newton physics jesus? 5 days ago:
physics jesus
Yes, he is still regarded as such. Nearly nobody is aware of how thoroughly his core statements have been refuted since 1905.
- Comment on Hypothetically, what would the geo-political implications be, if the United States of America annexed Taiwan (with the approval of Taiwanese people via a referrendum)? 6 days ago:
So when Trumpeltier talks about Greenland, he is just mimicking China talking about Taiwan? 😂
- Comment on Hypothetically, what would the geo-political implications be, if the United States of America annexed Taiwan (with the approval of Taiwanese people via a referrendum)? 6 days ago:
I don’t dare to guess the final results, but as a first step:
China would have no problem with calling all of it null and void, the referendum as well as the annexation. They regard Taiwan as a part of China, before and after.
- Comment on Is it wrong to not have a disabled child solely to avoid forcing the child to suffer their whole life? 1 week ago:
Is it wrong to be 100% against birthing my own child solely because of this.?
No. It actually seems very plausible.
In addition, I would recommend to seek a therapy because sich heavy trauma do not easily heal by themselves.
- Comment on What realistically would happen if someone came back to life from the dead ? 1 week ago:
She simply goes on with her life.
Yes, I know her, she is well over 80 years old now.
- Comment on Is it wrong to not have a disabled child solely to avoid forcing the child to suffer their whole life? 1 week ago:
Please be more specific about the actions that are to decide, when you say generally “to not have a disabled child”. IMMHO the whole ethical discussion, or any ethical answers are not possible without being completely clear on these specifics.
- Comment on Can astronauts jerk off or toss the troff in space? Would their heart monitors would show it to be elevated? Or can or has any two astronauts ever had sex in space? 1 week ago:
In a memoir, astronaut Michael Collins relates a story of a physician back in the Apollo era who recommended regular masturbation on long missions, lest astronauts develop prostate infections. The flight surgeon for Collins’s moon mission “decided to ignore that advice,”
The Apollo program received hundreds, if not thousands of warning advices from doctors. Most of them were rather ridiculous in hindsight.
It was certainly not a big deal to ignore this one.
- Comment on Where do you think elon musk would be if he wasn't born into wealth? 1 week ago:
A medium ranked officer in the NSA, deeply hurt by what Snowden has achieved, and wishing death for him every day.
- Comment on Should we be worried that my joke from 5 years ago has been relevant at any given time for the past 5 years? 1 week ago:
I have never been there, so forgive my ignorance… Are these the only things in California that are extremely flammable?

Why not?
- Comment on Not promoting violence or anything. But stupid quest since Iran has an 80 million bounty on Trumps head. If someone would follow thru do they just go to Iran and be like pay up? Why or why not? 1 week ago:
Iranian dollars
LMAO

I don’t think that it works like a Hollywood comedy, where 1000 candidates pop up and each one claims “It was me, it was me!”.
A serious candidate would go there first, make friends, meet the right people. You would make sure that you know where to go afterwards etc. and you want that they know exactly who gets the bounty, before things happen.
