I never actually thought about how tea was discovered, and my new headcanon is that some weird person was just drinking hot water, some leaves fell in their cup, and they were too lazy to just get some clean water

If you’re a professional ecologist, then you should know full well that even if a cat is perfectly sedentary and kills nothing, and is neutered, they can still get and spread diseases, they can still get run over, and they can still be attacked and killed by other outdoor animals

Legitimately the best sleep I ever got was when I had a hammock. It takes a bit of adjustment, but once you’re used to it, it’s so easy to wake up. I haven’t felt fully rested since I replaced my hammock with a bed

That was hyperbole, I don’t know if it’s been -20°F across the entire country at any one time, but there was a couple years ago when we had that big freeze and Texas almost died

But also gets that low in my own city sometimes

I live in a city of about 500,000

Of course, I’m not dating anyone outside my acceptable range, which is about 20 years wide. Assuming an even distribution of people across all ages 1 to 100, this narrows it to 20%, or 100,000 people

Of course I’m more interested in ladies than fellas, so I’m gonna cut it to 51% based on gender, so 51,000 potential matches

We’re pretty evenly split politically, and imma be real I ain’t dating someone who’s gonna vote desantis, so let’s cut that in half again to 25,500

About 7% of people share my dietary preferences, and it’s a strong enough moral conviction that it’s a dealbreaker. That number is higher in people who share my political leanings, though, so let’s consider it 14%, or 3570.

Now I just have to figure out the odds that the <1% of people that I would be interested in would be interested in me. If it is just 1%, then there are around 36 dudes, ladies, and nonbinary maties in this city that I could conceivably go out with

Highlight of my life was shortly after I broke my arm, someone saw me struggling with one of these one-handed and opened it for me like the damn lockpicking lawyer. I’ve considered taking my sling with me shopping ever since, in case I need another good Samaritan to open one of these godforsaken bags again

Making a 20 minute advertisement rife with misinformation and having one single statement saying the video is sponsored is bad

I lost interest after he sang the praises of the Goblin Slayer rape scene. BuT tHe GoBLiNs nEeD tO bE sCaRy! You can “make monsters monstrous” without adding explicit rape scenes to your mid-tier manga.

Idunno, now I’m conflicted. On the one hand, having 20ish more years to enjoy life would be great, but winning the lottery via the penny would make the 40ish waking years I have left much higher quality

Dog, car, motorcycle, radio. Zombie apocalypses ain’t shit, I live in America. One dude is gonna bite someone and get turned into pink mist by every nearby CCW dude. Those would all be cool to have when we start rebuilding in a week

But it didn’t, because if it did then it would fall under the second paragraph of their comment, where they said that binary search would be useful. The comment isn’t just talking about bike thefts.

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

The OP is, but the comment you replied to isn’t. They expanded on the original post, and said that while binary search is useful in that situation (along with many others), it would be useless in other situations.

starman2112,
@starman2112@sh.itjust.works avatar

But the comment you replied to wasn’t talking about bike thefts specifically, it was talking about unspecified situations that don’t leave traces. You responded to someone saying that binary search doesn’t work in situations that don’t leave cues not by arguing against the premise (e.g. “but no such event exists, everything leaves cues”), but by telling them that you simply have to look for the cues from the hypothetical event that didn’t leave any.

That’s the issue, you don’t want your good research to be presented next to something Disgraced Former Doctor andrew wakefield published

Poe’e law states that there’s no such thing as satire, and that every post that could be considered a joke is actually a display of incredible stupidity

I get exactly how you feel. “Fuck the establishment, this’ll be the year that a third party wins!” To be young and optimistic again…

My problem with a lot of wholesomeposting is that it often feels vacuous and insincere. Gimme stats about the decline of child mortality instead of a generic “you can do it! I believe in you! (I’m not personally invested in your success but I want to feel like I’ve done something nice today!)”

Doesn’t happen if you only watch obscure >decade old single season animes

Never mind the fact that I’ll never find another person who watched and liked From the New World, or Canaan, or Flip Flappers

Unfortunately his actor is also kinda ass. Idunno if trying to get a rapist a lighter sentence is worse than all the shit Chowder has done, but I’m fine with never seeing either of them again

The question mark denotes confusion or flabbergastedness. Nutella contains milk, so it’s explicitly not vegan
