tryptaminev, to memes in and where did that bring you?

And for that kind of fishing you need large vessels, built in stationary warfts, using stationary ports. The materials are made in stationary complex apparatusses to extract and shape metals from ore and the ore is mined in stationary mines.

All of this is only possible as a result of settling

And they existed about 2000-1000 years ago. Humans started settling and farming as far back as 10.000-12.000 years ago.

Of course by then populations have increased tremendously. But in the spirit of the meme that probably wasn’t the best overall course of action, was it?

tryptaminev, to lotrmemes in The Shire is superior

A meter of soil is a pretty good insulator. There is plenty of more newer houses built like this by enthusiasts, that practically go without extra heating or ac, because the sun warms it up enough in winter and the soil keeps it cool enough in summer.

tryptaminev, to memes in Communist Filth/Capitalist Filth

In the 2000s and onwards yes. Because often these were sold to private investors in the capitalization of former communist/socialist countries.

At the time when they were built they did provide a great improvement in housing, especially as most of eastern Europe has been terrible destroyed by the Nazis.

Are you sure you want to give such an invitation for a “yo mama” joke?

tryptaminev, to science_memes in bro pls

I think on earth is preferential, and you’d have to build it underground anyways in order to shield it from interference.

tryptaminev, to memes in I love concerts. I do not love standing room only.

I can confirm 100% from football matches, that sitting down people are not participating.

Frankly it makes sense. Sitting down used to be for calm and relaxing in the times our genes formed.

I totally agree. Thats why i made the argument “for an existing population”. In order to support a growing population changing to farming was the right choice. But not all populations had the ambition or necessity to grow, as we see with many indigenous people that survived quite well until being met with expanding settler societies.

So hunting and gathering wasnt necessarily an inferior lifestyle in terms of running a stable society. Qnd in the long haul it is very much possible that humanities growth leads to its downfall so severely, that a nomadic lifestyle will reemerge as it tends to be more environmentally sustainable.

tryptaminev, to science_memes in Machine Learning is when machine learns, stupid.

Man i dont know. I had an introductery lecture into ML and we were told of some kernel stuff, where you look at a space that could be infinite dimensional and that you do some math to project into low dimensional feature space, where your seperation still works because of your kernel function.

That isnt some black box art form, that is clearly black magic.

tryptaminev, to mildlyinteresting in Ancient Iran had air conditioning

The specific device that mostly works by fanning in air that is cooled by using evaporation? Seems very similiar to what the ancient people there had.

And how do you get fresh air in? Also the problem of heat transfer is never by gaps in the walls, at least not for buildings in western and central Europe. The problem is heat conduction through the window panes. And that is with isolated windows already. Also it is impossible to get a brick wall air tight. Leave alone you create a great environment for water to leak in and damage everything.

A building needs to be able to “breathe” in order to get rid of the humidity that is generated inside.

tryptaminev, to mildlyinteresting in Ancient Iran had air conditioning

Cooling a ware house, lecture hall or mall is very different from cooling an apaprtement building. In particular because most of the former have been designed with AC in mind.

Who knows where science and engineering may take us next!

Not beyond the hard limits of physics. You are not going to retrofit an appartement building built in 1900 or 1970 or 2000 for that matter with an efficent heating/cooling system without major rebuilding.

tryptaminev, to memes in Which pill do you choose?

Seriously how are people not seeing this?

Ever saw a child or teenager trying to act like an adult? Well now try that the other way around. Since you are a smart adult, you might get it done for a day. But for 12 years? You will slip and it will be noticed.

To add insult to injury, after you become grown up, that whole prodigy thing will fall apart, because you weren’t actually all that much smarter than everyone else. You were just X years ahead for a child and that bonus melted with the years. So then you wouldnt be a prodigy, you’d be a failed prodigy and that is if the whole ordeal doesn’t drive you insane in the meantime and you get hospitalized and drugged up for good.

Finally, even if you manage all of that to then buy bitcoins in the day. “Mommy mommy, please let us put 1.000 € in Internet coins that are 50 cents today. They will become worth 50.000 a piece i know it i promise, Mommy please!”. How do you think your mother will react?

tryptaminev, to fuck_cars in US Pedestrian deaths rose a troubling 77% between 2010 and 2021.

Most people having cellphones is a thing since at least 20 years. Most of these being smartphones is a thing since at least 10 years.

How would that relate to an increase in drivers killing pedestrians in the past few years and on top of it, lowering levels in most other places

tryptaminev, to news in Video of Palestinians stripped, forced to sit outside by IDF soldiers raises ire

the comment criticised that it was refered to as cold. I gave example as to why in this circumstance 16°C are to be considered cold.
