- Comment on Elon Musk wants to rewrite "the entire corpus of human knowledge" with Grok 1 day ago:
Nothing that has been demonstrated makes me think these chatbots should be allowed to rewrite human history what the fuck?!
- Comment on So um, america just started another war in the middle east. We're going to need a shit ton more memes to americans from the nightmare they are enduring. Thanks in advance... 1 day ago:
It’s literally the least you can do, and doing the least possible is not good enough.
You don’t get to wash your hands because you voted for Kodos.
- Comment on Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison' 3 days ago:
Looks like patients that receive hemodialysis treatment have lower pfas levels, so that actually might be viable!
- Comment on Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison' 4 days ago:
I know pfas levels are immediately lower after the donation. I’m not under the impression that pfas levels stay low for very long i.e. long enough to safely donate blood again.
Also, it’s kind of messed up that we’re donating contaminated blood. Is that good for the people that use our blood? Who knows!
- Comment on Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison' 4 days ago:
There are other ways to lower the amount of plastic in you. If you donate your blood you can measurably lower your pfas levels. Really just removing blood which carries plastic through your whole body will also lower your concentration of plastics.
I’m pretty sure regular blood letting is actually not great for you either.
- Comment on Scientists discover promising new way to filter microplastics out of human body: 'The dose makes the poison' 4 days ago:
No, it’ll go the way of carbon emissions i.e. the world “knowing” the problem but not taking action. Period. No action, at all, until we’re all dead.
- Comment on How do you think early humans survived without water bottles? Did they just live next to water sources all the time? 5 days ago:
You ever notice how every other animal manages to survive without water bottles? It was like that for most of human existence, before we figured out water skins and wooden cups and clay jugs.
- Comment on What do you think the solution to selling progressive politics to young men is ? 5 days ago:
Revolution.
- Comment on Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays 1 week ago:
First you say “you’re not mad a GenAI as a technology, you’re mad at Capitalism” and then when I agree with you you move the goal posts to argue against it? Are you just arguing for its own sake?
It’s like I never left Reddit!
Talking to you was a mistake. You’re just trying to “win” the conversation, you don’t actually care about anything I have to say.
I’m done. You can have the last word.
- Comment on Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays 1 week ago:
And you can’t separate the technology from it’s historical and material context. We could say “capitalist LLMs” instead of just “LLMs” every time we talk about the technology, but is that useful.
- Comment on Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays 1 week ago:
The problem is capitalism, but the technology was produced under capitalism and you’re using this technology under capitalism. So, a distinction without a difference.
- Comment on Accessibility is the only moral use that AI can have nowadays 1 week ago:
Yeah, and all it requires is for poorly paid workers in Kenya to be tortured and forced to watch CSAM all day.
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 1 week ago:
I don’t see why the apple from a cashew can’t also be classified as an aggregate accessory fruit, like the flesh of the strawberry, which would make the cashew pit an achene like the seeds of a strawberry.
- Comment on YouTube might slow down your videos if you block ads 1 week ago:
So you don’t find something else to do.
- Comment on YSK: Non-violent protests are 2x likely to succeed and no non-violent movement that has involved more than 3.5% of the country population has ever failed 1 week ago:
You talk about research, so I’m curious: has any nonviolent campaign succeeded without an accompanying violent campaign?
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 1 week ago:
Although “tree” is a common word, there is no universally recognised precise definition of what a tree is, either botanically or in common language.[1][2] In its broadest sense, a tree is any plant with the general form of an elongated stem, or trunk, which supports the photosynthetic leaves or branches at some distance above the ground.
Well damn, I guess strawberries can be trees and nuts.
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 1 week ago:
Strawberries sure as hell aren’t nuts either but we’re playing pretty fast and loose with words and meanings.
- Comment on Is Google about to destroy the web? 1 week ago:
about to
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 1 week ago:
Peanuts claim to be nuts, but they aren’t a legumtimate part of the family.
I dunno.
- Comment on Strawberries are nuts 🍓 1 week ago:
Like cashews!
I thought nuts had to come from trees, though.

- Comment on Remember 1 week ago:
The framing looks bad to us because that’s not the housing we want, that’s not the vacation we want, those aren’t the toys we want, and that’s not the retirement we want.
There are loads and loads of people who love suburbs and Funko trash, and they will fight us to the death to preserve what they have.
- Comment on Remember 1 week ago:
I think I agree with /u/Jo Miran
Your post is just invoking feeling in people who already hate this shit. Circlejerk material.
It’s more meaningful to focus on things which are objectively bad, like yearly rising suicide rates or lowering life expectancies.
- Comment on Why are you here and not on Reddit? 2 weeks ago:
I’ve hated Reddit since back when shitredditsays was in its hay day, and after they banned the Chapo subreddit I retreated to only really using a few local subreddits to keep track of local news.
When the exodus started two ish years ago I jumped on the bandwagon and haven’t logged back into Reddit ever since.
I call y’all reddit.world as a joke but you aren’t nearly as bad.
- Comment on Why is DOGE still around if Donny and Elon aren't getting along? 2 weeks ago:
No, actually, I quite like that the media circus might cause Musk’s companies to fail. It’s good when his investors are hurt.
- Comment on Why is DOGE still around if Donny and Elon aren't getting along? 2 weeks ago:
Unless Tesla gets bailed out I don’t expect it to survive much longer, consumers already don’t want his badly built and overpriced swastikars anymore, and this is yet another blow to the company. Musk leaving the government won’t save Tesla from itself.
It needs government money or it’s done.
- Comment on Why is DOGE still around if Donny and Elon aren't getting along? 2 weeks ago:
I’m not forgetting that he’s a shit talker, but you aren’t getting it - simply by saying this shit he has already harmed the companies by undermining investor confidence.
Trump directly attacked Musk’s companies and their investors, whether he follows through on the threat or not.
- Comment on Why is DOGE still around if Donny and Elon aren't getting along? 2 weeks ago:
Trump threatening to take away Musk’s government contracts is pretty serious for a smokescreen. Even the threat of doing this could destroy the companies, even if he never intended to follow through.
- Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts? 2 weeks ago:
For them spaces on the internet are just a question and answer machine - why would they thank us NPCs?
- Comment on Why do so many people delete their posts? 2 weeks ago:
Or they do get the answer they want and now they don’t need to get anymore answers.
