I’ve never had Mountain Dew, but I always imagined it would taste like shower gel or shampoo. The scents/flavors even have similar names.

Coincidentally, this is also what the French smelled like centuries ago.

Doing the Lord’s work. The longer I work in academia, the more radical I become about keeping it simple.
- Comment on Whoever wrote this headline has never encountered a passenger train before in their lives 3 weeks ago:
Based on this dumpster fire of a headline, I think the take-away can only be that Siemens and other train manufacturers have to start calling their trains “OMEGA RAIL” and “CHUNGUS 3000” or shit like that so it’s worth a news article.

“The main goal of this thesis was to not be derivative garbage like the works of Big Name et al.”
- Comment on Anon doesn't like reddit 3 weeks ago:
Look, I also left Reddit because it got worse, but this just reads like “I said something racist and people got mad” to me.
- Comment on The more you know 3 weeks ago:
Come to think of it, one thing I truly despise about the current state of AI is its verbosity. You ask the stupidest question, and the response is always some multipage essay (or longer if you ask nicely) that looks all important but is composed of 90% filler and bullshit, until it ends with “In conclusion, …” followed by the actual answer. Enough intelligence to string sentences together ad infinitum but not enough to provide actual answers that fit the question.

English isn’t my first language. What does “tossing one’s hair” mean?
- Comment on Publishing Revenue 5 weeks ago:
Thank you for the warning. I almost received free and convenient access to a large caralog of academic articles, and no one wants that.
- Comment on What games popularized certain mechanics? 5 weeks ago:
Perfect example that “popularized” is different from “popular”.

This is just Big Meme propaganda intended to take advantage of weak-minded people like myself.

Maybe the real artificial intelligence is the regular intelligence we found along the way.

If I rotate this picture 180°, it looks pretty much the same as the one in the OP.

Except for those flat-earth guys who started doing actual research with lasers and gyroscopes, who ended up proving that the earth is round and rotating, too.
- Comment on Dimensions 2 months ago:
Fun fact, the Mandelbrot set is a 2-dimensional set (because it’s defined in the complex plane). However, its boundary line is a fractal, which can be understood as having a non-integer dimension (i.e., between 1, the topological dimension of a line, and 2, the dimension of a plane). There are multiple ways to define such fractal dimensions such as the Hausdorff dimension. For example, the Sierpinski triangle has a dimension of 1.58. But the Mandelbrot set is special here, too, as it seems to have a Hausdorff dimension of 2, meaning that its boundary is so curly that it fills “a plane’s worth of space” despite line-like topology.

Alright, that explains.

According to Wikipedia, the Neandertal (the valley) was named after 17th century priest and composer Joachim Neander. Where does the “new man” come in?

That’s inflation for you, amirite?
- Comment on yay, no dunning kruger for me! hold up, oh no 3 months ago:
This is a good and nuanced take, thank you for taking the time to write it down. Piggybacking on this, if anyone wants to dive more deeply into the subject of psychological measurement, there’s an excellent book by Derek Briggs about this: Historical and Conceptual Foundations of Measurement in the Human Sciences: Credos & Controversies.

That would certainly explain why there’s apes everywhere.

Placing movies like Planet of the Apes on our timeline makes no sense. It’s a completely different planet, people! (The ape planet.)
