Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•There is a sense in which infinity is the most finite concept, that it turns more than a trillion unfathomably large numbers into one tiny easy-to-digest idea... like a thought-terminating cliche of >
1·vor 2 TagenIt’s not a number and yet you can still do maths with it

Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•Elephants are born weighing 250 Ibs. They are the biggest babies on earth except for Motorists when one bike lane is added in their city.
11·vor 2 TagenThat is completely untrue.
The second-biggest babies are blue whales, who are a bit over 1800kg at birth.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Whether someone is "stubborn" or "determined" depends on whether they're doing something you like or not.
12·vor 2 TagenI remember back in secondary school in the early 2000s, this was the literal textbook example of how the media frames things. The teachers’ union was up to some industrial action at the time, which made it all the more relevant.
“The union firmly insisted on their original position” “The union stubbornly insisted on their original position”
Consider also confidence vs arrogance.
“The minister confidently stated the dispute will be over soon” “The minister arrogantly stated the dispute will be over soon”

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Batman fans, would you want to see a TV-MA Batman show where it takes inspiration from the Silver Age?
4·vor 5 TagenI know the premise of Absolute Batman is that Bruce Wayne is a middle-class civil engineer, and sometimes struggles to stay awake at his day job because he’s exhausted from being Batman. And the Joker is a 1%er. Not sure his the cops are portrayed.

Not The Onion@lemmy.world•Vance says pope should ‘be careful’ when talking about theology
68·vor 5 TagenA bunch of Protestants think the Pope is the Antichrist, but apparently Vance identifies as Catholic, so yeah, he’s defying God. Catholic doctrine also holds that the Pope is infallible when ruling on theology.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•AI Layoff Trap - a game theory paper from UPenn + Boston University, indicating that AI layoffs can collapse the economy
5·vor 6 TagenHenry Ford figured that out in the 1920s. At a time when it was normal to work 10 hours a day 6 days a week, Ford reduced his workers’ hours to 8 hours a day 5 days a week while paying them more per week worked, because he recognised that well-paid workers with free time buy more stuff, thus making him even richer. That’s especially impressive considering the union were pushing for the 8-hour day and the Jews were the ones seeking Saturday off; higher psy and shorter hours were so compelling they overcame Ford’s notorious raging hatred of unions and of Jews.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•US government hires BlackSky to build next-gen Al surveillance satellites for Earth and beyond
7·vor 11 TagenHuh, when I see BlackSky I think of the BlueSky derivative designed to be friendlier to black people.

Fuck AI@lemmy.world•Smartphone that isn't filled with AI slop or general enshittification?
2·vor 13 TagenI use an iodé phone. It’s basically Android with all the Google crap removed, and it comes with Fdroid.
Rye, barley, oats, and rice are also grasses.
Rye used to be a weed that evolved to resemble wheat so early farmers wouldn’t uproot it. But it evolved to resemble wheat so much that it became an edible crop in its own right.

science@lemmy.world•How to keep up with the latest peer-reviewed research in a particular field?
2·vor 14 TagenI like QuiteRSS (if you use Linux or BSD, it should be in your package manager). It’s super-easy to sort and manage tonnes of feeds, it’s very clear what is read and what’s unread, and you can set it to never delete unread items. It hasn’t been updated in ages, but it still works (mostly. Once in a while a Qt update breaks it until someone can fix the packaging).
My second favourite isAkregator. It’s almost as easy to use as QuiteRSS, but unread items aren’t as distinctive, and sometimes an unread item looks read.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•(I can't see the aita community on this instance) am I in the wrong for asking as a young teen if they still hired at a daycare center?
6·vor 14 TagenWow, no, she was in the wrong.
I spent three years unemployed after I graduated college. It was perfectly acceptable to call a place and ask if they were hiring. Never did me any good, but there is nothing wrong with doing so.
