Correct, including 0% as a part of the answers would make 0% a wrong answer.
- Comment on Do you know the answer? 3 hours ago:
You can never answer this question correctly. If the correct answer is 25% there’s a 50% chance you guess correctly but that would make the 25% wrong.
But if the answer is the 50% then it implies that 25% is correct which implies that 50% is wrong.
We reach a contradiction for both 25% and 50% making the correct answer to make the whole statement truthy 0%.

In response to calling a prophet bald:
“So he turned around and looked at them, and pronounced a curse on them in the name of the LORD. And two female bears came out of the woods and mauled forty-two of the youths.” -New King James bible, 2 Kings 2:24
This is the real way to turn the other cheek

For further reading on this agreement it’s called the Bretton Woods agreement if anyone is interested.

I had a pentel pen and it was just amazing. Very good for finger spinning

I’m gonna cast doubt on this. It happened too conveniently after people figured out long distance sea travel.
If they would have floated it’s much more likely that it happened somewhere in the last million years rather than the last 500.

Honey doesn’t expire but it crystalises giving it a different texture. You’d also have to check in on what happens to decades old honey

There’s a low budget version of the first Harry Potter movie in it’s entirety.

- Comment on Actually it's pretty cool 2 months ago:
I decided to read up on it since it looks a bit mental but once you know why it makes a lot of sense.
Plasma is charged and needs to be contained with magnets because it’ll melt anything it touches.
To use the magnets uniformly on a donut shaped cloud of particles will cause the particles drift and hit the wall because the donut has particles traveling short distences close to the donut hole and long on the rim. The particle will eventually drift into the wall and destroy the reactor.
So fuck it, squash the donut and twist it around and now all of parts of a cross section traveling around the donut are traveling equally long distance.

And no one went up to it with an angle grinder? Pretty sure you can cut it with a diamond blade.
- Comment on Working below minimum wage to save the planet 2 months ago:
I mean it’s not that crazy if it saves you a trip to whatever store.
Going to a single place to replace something can take an hour so we can subtract that. Getting paid $5 an hour for a fun activity is also an absolute steal.

Hearts of Iron 4 is also fun. You can take on the entire third reictb
- Comment on To simplify, assume the cow is spherical 3 months ago:
Not entirely. You get a lot of air resistance from vortex shredding which pulls the object back because of turbulent air flow at high speeds behind the object. You also have collision with air molecules when they are compressed in front of the object.
Friction on the other hand is more dominant when pushing an object along a surface.
- Comment on Got any must-play games for strategy fans? 3 months ago:
Medieval 2 Total War. It’s the best Total War game and one of the oldest. It has a basic campaign map where you create and manage armies which you then use to go into a real time battle with thousands of units. There is nothing as satisfying as routing the enemy with a massive cavalry charge into the rear when they’re in hand to hand infantry combat.

80% of startups fail as a benchmark. It’s pretty tricky to create a company.
- Comment on Steam has the best UI 3 months ago:
There’s the other side of maintenence that you don’t have to worry about messing other parts up if you change that one drop down menu since it’s the only place it’s used. It sometimes takes less time to do it this way.
I still think that the dropdowns should be unified, one view for desktop and one for mobile.
