  • There's A Pooping Epidemic At Live Concerts — And Experts May Have Identified The Cause

    Jump

  • Loud talking during performances. When — and why — did we start acting like undersocialized animals

    Loud talking?? At a concert?! Animals! 🙄

    I'm not surprised that with absurd monopoly-driven ticket prices, some people will decide that an hour long bathroom wait is not what they paid for.

    We don't need to be pearl clutching about pandemic related difficulties with socialisation to explain what's going on at concerts. Firstly, the windows for learning soft skills are in childhood and the pandemic was only 5 years ago. The affected cohort would be like 9-13ish.

    So if the concert-pooping is all those 10y/o kids at coachella, maybe that's the cause. But otherwise i think we can all safely ignore what an "ettiquette expert" has to say.

  • Zhuangzi, easily one of the top 5 authors anywhere, ever.

    The Taiping civil war ended a bit before the US civil war, lasted 3x as long and almost ended with china unified under a homegrown christian theocracy.

  • Trump’s Truth Social Hit by Humiliating Exodus [Down 40% in one year]

  • I'm honestly surprised - i would think that a social media platform designed to attract the rubiest marks to have ever been grifted would be an incredibly viable product.

  • Start offering them US health insurance?

  • Of course he's exasperated - he has dementia. He lacks the cognition to be anything but exasperated. No way he has the capacity to understand the situation.

  • Theseus - The Jenkins

    Jump

  • I'm pretty sure the ship's planks had to be replaced because it was on display as a heritage item for generations afterwards - not during his lifetime. Are you really viewing theseus' ship if everything you're looking at post-dates his death, was the issue, iirc.

    Just to get unneccesarily pedantic about a joke.

  • It's a pretty common welsh name, so australia and the UK have plenty of bryns.

    That 'y' is a dead giveaway that it's welsh. Llewellyn is another one. The welsh for wales is cymru - "kimree".

  • In high school there was this one guy, Bryn, who i didn't like but he hung out with us and prevented other bullies from targeting our goth weirdo circle. I've always described jupiter as earth's bryn.

  • What was the conversation about sex and drugs like in your home growing up?

    Jump

  • My mother: My best friend Ruthy was the sort of person who thought a best friend was someone who gives you their last tab of speed during exams. My best friend in highschool, hearing this: So you had speed in highschool? My mother: oh ugh um ahh well.

    My mother also advised us that if we thought a bar was watering down drinks we should order black russians because vodka is more alcoholic but kahlua is more expensive. Also never buy white rum because you might as be drinking vodka - this was meant as an insult to both vodka and white rum.

  • Why do YOU think men commit more crime than women?

    Jump

  • Power. Men are more privileged than women. The more power somehow has, the more they are shielded from the consequences of their actions and the worse their behaviour.

    I do suspect that overall men are alsi more likely to engage in violence than women, but i haven't checked data to see if i'm wrong.

  • What is your favourite hobby and what do you value it for?

    Jump

  • Tabletop rpgs are the only artform that merges artist and audience. Telling a story is probably the oldest human artform. With a well-designed RPG and a good group you can tell a story and thrill yourself at the surprising outcome. It's a unique and timeless hobby.

  • Fahrenheit is demonstrably better for describing temperature as experienced by a human.

    It's just not though. F uses a wider range of numbers to describe common outside air temperature, but more numbers =/= better.

    I've lived in both F and C countries and farenheit is not easier, more intuitive, more sensible or better in any way. A number is a number. The extra precision of F is not super useful - no one can really feel a 1F difference. The freezing point of water does make a huge difference, so knowing above/below zero C is useful, but above/below 32F is no harder.

    This argument that F is somehow more suitable for human temperatures is something you see online, but as someone comfortable with both i can say there is functionally no difference, except that metric is compatible with the rest of the world.

    Democratic Socialists of America’s new platform calls for abolishing ICE and the U.S. Senate

    Jump

  • Abolishing ICE is just basic common sense.

    The senate though? Yes, it gives way more power to less populous states and that's a real problem.

    But a country where populous regions can completely run roughshod over everywhere else is not a stable arrangement, and not a just arrangement. Over-representing minorities prevents harsh majoritarian rule.
