- Comment on Americans Are Using PTO to Sleep, Not for Vacation—Report 11 hours ago:
At some point during an awefull corporate talk by a microsoft advisor the term “staycation” was coined as variant of vacation and i swear if i hadn’t been working from home sitting behind my own pc i’d have vommited on the spot.

Did a little digging and apparently the name was coined in 1911 as a symptom of schizophrenia.
- Comment on Can you think of any now? 4 days ago:
Cool but flawed website.
Earlier times dont include myths that are on later years.
There is no overlap in myths between 1990 and 1970-80 but there is with the 60sw
“Sugar causes hyperactivity in children” is mentioned to have been corrected around 1995 but stops making the list from 1980 onward.
I wanna recommend it to others but i cant in this state.

Til autism was once understood as being the same as schizophrenia.
Quite interesting how the concept of neurodivergence is almost doing the opposite with respect to individuals who overlap on multiple neurological labels. Except it celebrates the individual uniqueness of their mind, needs, strenghts and challenges rather then generalising to find the one pill to sell to all.
- Comment on The new iPhone is an emblem of our miserable minimalist era 6 days ago:
Social media is a big part of the problem but still a symptom of the same systemic issues that phones are a symptom off.
Modern Phones are pocket-sized personal computers that are heavily restricted in what users can do, heavily tailored to what consumption our corporate overlords want to maintain (social media being an example, predatory games another).
Just like social media (facebook) is near impossible to avoid because all your local businesses don’t have a website and only inform and communicate trough a social media page (thanks my partner still has an account) you cannot simply not own a phone because scanning qr codes is now often a required part of participating in society, often unexpectedly.

Ignoring the funny, here is my interpretation to 6 meetings in 24 hours for executive elites.
For a corporate drone this would be a hell of day for others:
Wake up like everyone else
-
first 2 meetings are short 15 minutes things and there only contribution is being present.
-
1 of them is boring and goes on longer but they have to leave early to catch the next meeting.
-
the next meeting is a 2h lunch meeting in a super fancy restaurant where each party tries to get the other agree on an unbalanced deal.
-
1 actual long boring meeting in the afternoon where actual work is done.
-
final meeting with close allies over fancy dinner, mostly recalling relevant things that happend today.
End of the workday like everyone else.

To be fair, do we know for certain that fungi do not experience some form of social life?
It may not be human sapience but the mycelium networks hint at some forms of communicating information.

Whats the difference between expecting and predicting here?
BH was theoretical at first. The new breakthrough was empirical evidence.

How are you certain there are no undiscovered fundamental particles involved to quantum gravity and dark matter?
- Comment on Scientific unprogress... 2 weeks ago:
I don’t want to downplay some of the amazing things in this list but i dint think the standard model of physics as made by humans can ever be completed.
What did happen is that something like HB must exists in order to make most of other things work. Now that we know HB is verifiably real we tied up a major loose end.
But there is still many stuff unanswered and a “complete model” would require constant revision.

The irony is that for a good amount of less-serious health issues the placebo will work.

At least half of it sounds chatgpt.
“Its not;it is” pattern being repeated all over is one of its signatures.

I think its just a metal bar and wider then the tablet.

I especially like how the tablet is just main menu and cannot be placed horizontally.

Omg i am going so fast, i am Flying. I am fucking flying over here. Yeaaaah
Sir, this is a wallmart.
Can you please get out and stop drooling all over the kiddie ride? Actual children are waiting in line and you have not even put a quarter in the machine for the last 20 minutes.
Joke aside. On shrooms i would half expect someone to gain the realization that they don’t want to drive at all and just stay in the moment, if not, to drive slower then a bike. But idk about that cocain mixed in.

They can limited the survey to adults and just ask them if they ever had any “sexual partner” and it would have done nothing but make for more accurate results.

“Since they turned 18” also seems needlessly specific.

I know that camera very well i high poly 3d modelled it as part a midterm project and its by far my most favourite thing ever modelled.
I am not sure if i still have an easily accessible pic of it though since i long deleted my fb.

I may have heard a similar thing on a video that compared an elephant sized mouse with a mouse sized elephant.
Neither could survive because evolution designed their bodies for the relative pressure they exist in. This is also related to how fast their hearth beats go.
Human sized bugs could not exist for the same pressure reason also.

I dont think the whole web being like the fediverse is feasible
It does not need to be. “Whole web” being a certain way almost implies it all follows the same standards from which point the people who set and develop those standards become the centralised authority.
I like to think of the internet as simply a carrier of digital information. This can be any information. My vpn tunnel is just as much a part of the whole as a public website.
The way i envision a positive evolution is that more people get involved in running their own network, for themselves, their family, their neighbourhood, a global community they are a part of.
They can use the activitypub protocol, a selfmade protocol or any other they want. The only thing that matters is that the people who need and use the digital information can use it.
The public internet dominated by large players will still exist but it will be (and actually already is) a small portion of everything we use the web for.
- Comment on Gravity 2 months ago:
“Caused” was not a good term but like i said i made that comment half jokingly
I find that almost everything can be boiled down to just be a display of quantum mechanics which is why id place it as more fundamental.
I cant really say that about gravity/spacetime though. Maybe someday we do find that it also is but for now it seems to be distinct.
- Comment on Gravity 2 months ago:
Thanks for a we written reply.
Though i still dont quite get this
the electromagnetic force itself doesn’t “arise” from quantum mechanics, and you can explain things like electromagnets and a lot of common electric circuits (until you need a transistor) quite well without considering quantum mechanics.
You seen to say if we can explain x without y then y cannot be fundamental to x.
But can electromagnetism at all emerge if the quantum mechanics dont exist to emerge things like magnetism and some of the behavior of electrons?
