BreadOven, (edited )

Dioxygen difluorine (FOOF) is so reactive (unstable) it decays into O2 and F2 at about 4 % /day at -160 Celsius. It even reacts violently with ice.

Edit: Because everyone liked FOOF, get ready for tetraoxygen difluoride (FOOOOF) which is even more reactive. Apparently reacts explosively with elemental sulfur at -180 Celsius to form SF6.

The brave search engine AI gave the following summary:

Peppa Pig’s height has been a topic of debate among fans and media outlets. Some sources claim that Peppa Pig is 7 feet 1 inch tall, while others claim that she is 3 feet 9 inches tall. However, the website for Peppa Pig World Online Toy Shop states that Peppa Pig’s height is 3 feet 9 inches or 1.1 meters. Peppa Pig’s parents, Daddy Pig and Mummy Pig, are much taller than Peppa and George, and some fans have calculated that they are at or over 11 feet tall. Peppa Pig has McBarney’s disorder in her fanon, which she inherited from Mummy Pig.

I searched “McBarney’s disorder” and found the Peppa Pig Fanon Wiki. According to fanon, this is an incurable fatal disease that causes cannibalism and makes you act like you’re two years old.

There are 15K articles on this wiki. It’s 13 years old and has over 366K edits. And yet, their intro blurb on the main page is about 1/3 random letters because they couldn’t come up with 300 characters of text for it.

What the ever loving hell?

peopleproblems,

In “Sports Day”, she wore a ripped red fishnet dress with a black underskirt and dark purple skull necklace while Emily’s clique killed people. After that she wore a black dress with blood on it, dark purple fishnets, red chandelier necklace and dark purple apron with a grey underskirt.

I really hope that the LLMs in use today picked up this stuff.

That being said, I’m pretty glad my son will probably not be a fan of peppa anymore by the time he can read this article

We owe a tremendous debt to Lafayette. We will not forget it.

Kase,

Did you forget Lafayette? Have you an ounce of regret?

HobbitFoot,

After the War of 1812, the UK started to recognize the USA as a local power it had to deal with diplomaticly instead of with war. This gets shown in the negotiation of the 49th parallel and its maintaining of the Monroe Doctrine. Hell, the USA almost declared war against France after the Civil War to liberate Mexico.

Post World War I, the UK seemed to be the better ally. The UK was more willing to let the USA expand into core imperial territories during and after World War II. The USA didn’t have to fight a post British imperial war like it did for France in Vietnam. You also had the UK fall in line in NATO while France didn’t.

France would have been the better natural ally, but things change over time.

Everythingispenguins,

But they speak French… /S

So France was the first ally of the US. Recognizing it as a country before the end the revolutionary war. Though that was mostly to piss the UK off.

They have always kind of been a bit of frienemies. With various different geopolitical slights over the years. I have always thought that a lot has to do with who gets to be the lingua franca and the center of science and learning.

    I’m so glad I’ve been seeing this type of stuff on lemmy. It’s refreshing to see people actually understand that these are just recordings of words and how they’re spelt and pronounced (with bias and purposeful edits) rather than an actual hard line in the sand.

    @Stamets@startrek.website avatar

    I was abused from when I was born to when I was early 20s by my family and then an abusive ex. I’ve been attacked for being gay and was disowned by my family for the same reason. I spent most of my 20s homeless and lost out on a lot of time due to realizing that no one really cares about other people, at least the majority doesn’t. Lost everything I have as well as everything I was. Have always been depressed and a mess and hoped things would get better. They haven’t. They’ve gotten steadily and gradually worse. At the most they plateau for a little bit. I’ve lost pretty much all the people I care about and I have no energy to really do anything anymore. I don’t want to die but I want to be dead. I am tired all of the time. While I know all of this is a drastic and pretty severe problem, I can’t do anything about it. I’m stuck on waiting lists to talk to people or get prescriptions, and that’s when I can afford them. I don’t see a purpose to really… do anything anymore. I have no drive. No motivation. No hope. No dreams. No aspirations. No anything. I am literally just waiting until I die and trying to enjoy the tiny amount of things that have been put in front of me. That’s when I can enjoy the things without someone chiming in to say how much the thing sucks, often people who I respect/admire/care about being the people who say it. Mostly because I don’t know how to make good decisions and often surround myself with people who hate me because it feels more comforting to have someone insult me than compliment me. As fucking psychotic as that is. So I just post memes and wile away my time until I die.

    That’s mainly why.

    But it is what it is. Such is life. Soldier on, keep going, carry on, yadda yadda.

    tygerprints,

    That's just horrible. And you're right, most people today have little empathy for anyone else. But it's terrible when you're own family is among those without the intelligence and innate goodness to care about you as a human being. Your sexuality is just a preference, not a definition of everything you are. I'm gay myself and was always bullied in school (long before I was gay or anything else) and have suffered my fair share of slings and arrows.

    But I never ever felt bad about being gay - it's a gift and a blessing, and my family at least were supportive - or maybe just well-educated enough to know that someone's sexuality is not anyone else's business to worry over.

    If you're tired all the time, that's one of the big red flags for major depression. And it sounds like you're doing everything to make it worse. Why seek out people who hate you - they're gonna be around no matter what. What you really need is to seek out people like you who are encouraging and supportive. And you need to god-damn well wake and stop being a jerk to yourself.

    Sorry but it has to be said. You have to let yourself learn how to be happy. Being gay is not only NOT some kind of punishment, it is most definitely NOT anything to feel guilty about. In fact, I think of it as a superpower, and it is one reason I wake up smiling every day.

    I haven't had the same setbacks you've had, but I've been through major bipolar episodes, (unrelated to sexuality), and I know how tough it can be to let those inner judges go, but you have to do it to improve your life. You have to fire those assholes and kick them out to the curb.

    You sound more Indigenous than Buffy St Marie

    As an Indigenous person who grew up in northern Ontario … this was basically my life and often it still feels like this. But like you say, you keep soldiering on.

    Keep working, keep doing things, keep being nice, keep being kind, keep staying busy - ignore the world, ignore what they say, ignore what they do - stay away from negativity, stay away from dark people - move towards light, move towards happiness, move towards being good - laugh at the world, laugh at your enemies, laugh at yourself, laugh with your friends.

    And when you’re out in the wilderness, near a park or just outside your home … look for the biggest tree you can find and wrap your arms around it, hold on it and hang on and let it’s energy mesh with yours. The grandfather tree has seen more life than you and I ever will and will most likely live longer than us. It’s a lesson I was taught by my elders long ago. When you are lost, sad, unhappy and can’t find your way home … hold onto a grandfather tree, a being rooted to the ground, that touches the sky, lives without malice, gives shelter to others and watches the world with quiet empathy. He will give you some of its life and a moment to find your way back to something good.

    @ininewcrow@lemmy.ca avatar

    You live up to your character every day Stamets … Lol. You put on such an evil facade yet you have a heart of gold.

    I only mentioned the St Marie part to intentionally send you down that rabbit hole. Cultural appropriation is a big deal to me because I am Indigenous and it sickens me to see people revel in my culture when my people are made to feel ashamed for it.

    Go outside to the park whenever you can even if you don’t feel like it. I’m getting older and it’s getting harder for me to do these things. I’m not ancient or dying, I’m just getting subtle reminders that my systems are failing.

    Breathing the fresh air, the wind on your skin and the sight of trees or the forest does a world of good for the soul.

    tillary,

    I’ve had different traumas (career and relationship related), I don’t think they’re as bad as yours but I completely understand what you’re going through. I’ve been on a few medications and therapies but the emptiness and lack of motivation is always there. After a certain amount of trauma I just don’t see how you move forward without the universe making serious amends, like maybe a streak of really good luck. I actually just sit around waiting for a UBI program to exist and jumpstart my life, because my brain doesn’t work well enough to go back to my old routine dealing with the same terrible people.

    I never got as bad as wanting to not be alive but a couple panic attacks made me suck it up and get the wheels rolling on seeing a Psych and getting meds. ADHD since childhood didn’t help but the meds sure as fuck do. It sucks that you see what you’re supposed to be doing but our social safety nets sucks so much, especially as adults, that you can’t use them.

    Finding insurance and a stable job can go a long way. Without them, it can be tough out of pocket. Finding the right combo of meds was what I knew I needed and ended up doing exactly what I needed them to. God damn they’re expensive though. Mostly the stimulants and anti-drinking pills (Naltrexone FTW!) though.

    Edit: Honestly just being tired all the time, especially in the mornings, was one of the worst parts. My depression showing up as numbness was handy as a Stoic, but life is better when you feel shit appropriately.

    Kinda rambling, but keep on keeping on.

    intensely_human, in It's just the most 100 recently saved songs. The fuck.

    But you can make it actually random by doing this:

    • Tap your profile picture
    • Tap settings
    • Tap Playback
    • Toggle the “Automix” switch to off

    Now you have truly random shuffle

    Caesium,

    you my sir are godsend

    Hildegarde,

    I doubt it. True random shuffle play is rare, because humans don’t understand the chaos of true random generation, we see patterns in it and assume it’s not random.

    A truly random shuffle can play the same song twice. A truly random shuffle can play multiple songs from the same artist in a row. In the fullness of time all of these will happen with a true random shuffle.

    Nothing does that these days. Nearly everything “random” is algorithmically engineered to be less random so it feels more random to humans.

    HubertManne,
    @HubertManne@kbin.social avatar

    now I wish for a more nuanced configed shuffle because I totally love having a few songs from the same artist back to back but not the same one.

    intensely_human,

    You can definitely make a truly random shuffle that doesn’t play the same song twice within a gap of ten songs.

    You just make a list of all the song IDs that aren’t in the last ten played, and grab an item at a random index.

    Randomness is a texture not a shape. Dice are random despite only being able to present six outcomes.

    Honytawk, (edited )

    But then it is not truly random, that is the point.

    The same song 10 times in a row also has a chance of happening in a truly random list.

    Eranziel,

    Random pick without replacement is no less random than random pick with replacement. You just have a continuously smaller pool to pick from.

    It’s absolutely possible to have better randomness/shuffle without repeating songs so often.

    intensely_human,

    You’re thinking of a random sequence. We’re talking about shuffling according to a random seed.

    vrighter,

    there exist other random distributions than the uniform distribution

    ElderWendigo,

    A truly random walk through a playlist might choose the same song twice in a row. A truly random shuffle would only have each entry appear once and you’d have to play past the end of the shuffle to hear a song repeat.

    emeralddawn45, (edited )

    I’m pretty sure this is wrong. From what I understand, automix just blends together the ending and beginning of the two songs. For example if there’s silence at the end of one song, or ‘compatible’ music, the ‘ai’ will try to smooth out the transition like a dj would while making a mix.

    Edit: yup, that’s what it is support.spotify.com/ca-en/…/tracks-transitions/

    filcuk, (edited )

    Turn off* cross play.
    That will give more randomness, but I still get a bunch of songs on repeat in a 3K song playlist. Annoying.

    intensely_human,

    Well it’s some setting. I recently made the switch and now I’m hearing random songs I haven’t heard in years. It’s actually sampling my whole collection as far as I can tell.

    Ultraviolet,

    Often completely botching existing transitions on, say, two consecutive songs on an album that already flow into one another.
