Really depends on the weight of the baby. A trebuchet can yeet a 300kg baby 90m.
- Comment on Wikimedia Foundation's plans to introduce AI-generated summaries to Wikipedia 13 hours ago:
Sorry, but that’s absolutely wrong - the complexity of articles can vary wildly. Many are easily understandable, while many others are not understandable without a lot of prerequisite knowledge in the domain (e.g. mathematics stuff).

If the reader is interested in the content, they aren’t going to skip it.
But they aren’t interested in the content because of the complexity. You may wish that humans work like you describe, but we literally see that they don’t.
What you can do is provide a simplified summary to make people interested, so they’re willing to engage with the more complex language to get deeper knowledge around the topic.

[…] then how are those readers going to improve their poor reading skills?
By becoming interested in improving their poor reading skills. You won’t make people become interested in that by having everything available only in complex language, it’s just going to make them skip over your content. Otherwise there shouldn’t be people with poor reading skills, since complex language is already everywhere in life.

If you play a Windows Vista installation disk in reverse, you can hear a message from Satan.
Even worse, when you play it forwards, you install Windows Vista 😱

Yeah, the only way that I’ve found really works is to use “I” statements.
Aiaiai, you need to calm down!

If your fridge is warmer than 40°F, it’s not working properly.
My fridge literally has a setting for 6°C (42.8F).

They first tried using avocado pits, but those are a little too uneven, so they went with cooked egg yolks instead.

Oh yeah? And what does skin taste like, if not avocado?

Are we supposed to immediately freeze leftovers? I thought a night in the fridge was totally fine.

The map pinging has been sufficient communication for me. Other players can “confirm” your pings, which is a great way to show they agree.

I’ve seen this guide countless times, and every time I’m sad they didn’t include their “ideal cookie”. Top left looks pretty good!

Thanks! I have neither a positive nor negative opinion of Sidney Sweeney, but if she’s actually a cunt there are surely better insults.

I don’t think it’s cool to insult people for diseases!

We don’t conclusively know whether Boeing killed whistleblowers. The police ruled it as suicide, but if you trust them do you also trust that Epstein committed suicide?
Given that he didn’t explicitly seem suicidal to others, didn’t leave a note or give any other indication I feel it’s more likely than not that he was killed.
- Comment on Number neighbors! 1 week ago:
It is incredibly blatant, but what is any one of us gonna do about it? There’s so much blatant stuff going on - like the Boeing whistleblower that died by “suicide”, or the Panama Papers. But we’re simply powerless to change anything.
- Comment on Number neighbors! 1 week ago:
The consensus is that he didn’t kill himself

Super. Hexagon.
It’s hard to explain the relief I felt upon beating the last level. I can fairly easily survive for 300s in the first one, but I’ve never gotten close to beating the last one again.
There’s also a “spiritual successor” called Open Hexagon that’s extendable by the community if you want more, though I haven’t played it myself.
