  Laguette de la botte is definitely a dish I would try at a French restaurant

  Invest in tungsten

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New California law requires AI to tell you it’s AI⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah for real, what does this mean exactly? All forms of machine learning? That’s a lot of computers at this moment, it’s just we only colloquially call the chat bot versions “AI”. But even that gets vague do reactive video game NPCs get counted as “AI?” Or all of our search algorithms and spell check programs?

  At that point what’s the point? The disclosure would become as meaningless as websites asking for cookies or the number of things known to cause cancer in the state of California.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨i enjoy high fructose corn syrup too⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the point is it doesn’t prevent wide spread use. If a plant resists cultivation then it’s not worth it to try to farm, either industrially or in your back yard. Especially if you’re trying to farm for sustenance.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨I will be taking no followup questions. Thank you for your time⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yeah, you can’t just lay down electricity, especially not practical electricity it requires a ton of diverse knowledge from many different studies. What I would do is give them the concept of using steam to power to spin wheels or create an engine. Then use gear ratios to show them how to scale it up. Idk if they had found neodymium magnets back then, but teach them how to use them to heat iron by spinning them on the end of a steam engine and you’re starting to cook with electricity.

  Again, getting to electricity from there is still a whole fucking chore. But hopefully you could rely on science to advance way faster from your advances than if you weren’t there.

  Actually, the most important thing you could give the greeks is the concept of the modern scientific method. That shit was invented so late and just skyrocketed science (literally) the moment it was refined.

  Just write a book about everything you remember about a null hypothesis, randomized blind trials, control experiments, variable control etc. if you can squeeze any bit of statistics out of your brain, even if it’s just making a graph, you probably advance the world by thousands of years.

  If those couple of lines couldn’t be determined to be true without the 83 page setup then it took all 83 pages to prove 1+1=2

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Has this ever happened to you?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Doubling down on not paying for her food when there was no indication that he was expected to was definitely strange. It’s a perfectly fine thing to be uncomfortable with, don’t try and force the fault on her.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨This Plastic Mr. Fantastic⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  On the bright side, my nuts don’t stick to the side of my leg anymore cause I sweat PTFEs.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sticker⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Chill, I was making a joke about how it was technically ambiguous what group the op was talking about. They could also have been talking about the sticker maker group.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨exausting⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  But have they tried gender studies? They might learn just how good they have it being a welder.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can you think of any now?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  You do your most important learning outside of the classroom

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨sticker⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Idk man, pants pissers generally make for an unpleasant environment. It tends to stink and god forbid there’s more than one and the crowd is shoulder to shoulder. They should go in the toilet like everyone else.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Shh⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Yes, I would rather healthcare and science used 5x as much plastic as they do already and everyone else had to go completely wasteless than try to put any undue limits on them.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Wrong Groomers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I think the difference is that good/popular anime will still have women groomers where as most anime involving a male groomer is just fetish/wish fulfillment.

  I’m sure your dates felt the same

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨2hot2handle⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  Spontaneous doesn’t mean “happens suddenly without explanation” what are you on about?

  Excellent for pokin’ olives. 7/10

  Mostly ocean flora but there’s a lot that comes from the Amazon rainforest too.

  The frogurt contains potassium cyanide.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Inside the Underground Trade of ‘Flipper Zero’ Tech to Break into Cars⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  This article convinced me to buy a flipper (I’ve been debating it for years). It’s a super useful item that is absolutely going to get banned/hamstrung any day now for putting too much power into people’s hands under the guise of “public safety”.

  I want it because it’s so easy to use. I’m no hacker, but with a tool as convenient as this I’m sure I can piece some useful hacks together.

  One more bean type and youve got a three bean salad going!

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Aspergers officinalis⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I expected them to hang off a central stalk. Or perhaps grow like corn, where there’s a more plant-looking plant growing with the asparagus inside it.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Expand North! So much room up there.⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Every Canadian knows that the secret forests of magical splendour begin 101 miles from the border.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine if Amazon and all jobs out there were cooperatively owned?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Lol I understand why you might read it as unchill because of how it calls you out but it really isn’t.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine if Amazon and all jobs out there were cooperatively owned?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If the only way you can argue against their point is if they have a specific opinion about NATO then you’ve already conceded the point to anyone who doesn’t have that opinion on NATO.

  If not, then it’s weird to ask a non sequiter about NATO without any other argument.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Need a keyboard with a dedicated "slop" button⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  “she” being a conservative woman talking about pronouns again

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Imagine if Amazon and all jobs out there were cooperatively owned?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Then the stocks shouldn’t be worth that much and the man shouldn’t be able to spend like he has $92 billion

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨[deleted]⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The Majority Report had a chilling take on this. We are getting reports out of Gaza that the mass starvation is in its final stages. Many Gazans are at the late stages of starvation so that even if they got food it’s far too late and their body has started consuming itself.

  In the next weeks/months the death toll is going to spike, even more than it has. Like mass graves are going to be filled.

  Now all of these news outlets are seeing the writing on the wall and they’re starting to lay the groundwork to be able to claim that they have “always been” against the genocide now that it’s undeniable.
