  • As a person with aphantasia, I've enjoyed it since I was a child. But my parents read to me every night before bed for a long time, and so my hunch is that I latched onto it because of that positive association.

  • I still have more beef for that hack

    Jump

  • Ah, got my shenanigans mixed up. Danke!

  • That only happened because the wands both were using were from the same dragon or aardvark or whathaveyou.

  • Do you wash your hands after going pee?

    Jump

  • Lmao, reminds me of a college bathroom experience where someone entered, used the urinal, used the hand drier, and left.

    I was astounded.

  • Fun fact worth noting: humans and octopodes split back when our shared bodyplan was effectively a worm who just got legs. Octopuses have been shown to be able to learn and memorize letters, patterns, their different keepers (e.g., spitting at one particular keeper they didn't like), etc., and all the intelligence they've been demonstrated to learn evolved separately from humans.

    So we've actually got two examples of "worm with newly-evolved legs" becoming pretty damn smart on Earth, not just one - which makes my bet more on the "if the biosphere got to worms with legs, there's a lot of smart stuff there"

  • Outsourcing your thinking to AI is a... choice.

  • Good phrase. Lines up with people using it almost like a slot machine when they get the wrong answer instead of thinking it out.

  • Biological Women

  • One way to get the point across

    Jump

  • I've never liked wasabi, which is strange because I've loved hot sauce since I was a child. I've since figured out that what I actually like is vinegar and the fact that there's peppers involved is just a pleasant bonus.

  • I agree to wear clothing

    Jump

  • wear a gown

  • Rules

    Jump

  • It's a descriptive rule, not a prescriptive rule, and likely one snuck into the powerpoint to try and get the class thinking and laughing. Like calling the descriptions of gravity the "laws of gravity", it describes something about the world we've seen, but there's no Physics Police enforcing all matter follow the "Laws" - it's just the term we use for a description of how things work.

    A lot of advanced English classes are much more on the descriptivist side of things - observing patterns in ways we use language - than the prescriptivist approach we get in grade school where we're just learning rote things like spellings.

  • There is no moral way to raise a cat.

    Either they live inside and live an entire life in a few thousand square feet at best for 16-20 years, or you let them outside to hunt and they kill tons of wildlife and are exposed to becoming roadkill/coyote food etc.

    My personal dodge is to adopt old cats that have already been indoctrinated into inside life and who could never be let out anyway.

  • Americans’ views on which sources of energy should see more development in the U.S. (2016-2025)

    Jump

  • Note: if we had started building more plants 20 years ago and pulled a France (mostly nuclear grid), hell yeah, that would be great and we wouldn't be where we are now. But this last-minute drive is heavily poisoned by coal just trying to stay relevant.

  • Americans’ views on which sources of energy should see more development in the U.S. (2016-2025)

    Jump

  • Coal pivoted to pushing for nuclear plants because build-times on nuke plants are ~20 years and they'd be the obvious filler mid-term. That's why there's so much pro-nuke rhetoric despite renewables being cheaper and faster to make: it's their only chance to stay relevant.

  • It is awful

    Jump

  • Back in the alarm days of college I used Pink Floyd - Time because the couple seconds of ticking before everything went off would send me into conniptions to prevent the calamity.

    Then I found sleepyti.me and now I only use 'em when I can't/haven't gone to bed at the right time or really can't risk missing a plane. Would recommend.

  • hmmm

  • Bojack Horseman has some good rep, but before that, yeah, I can't think of anything off the top of my head. An explicit "Ace day" seems silly unless pitched as a self-care day, I guess?
