- Comment on If I wanted to have a maximally downvoted post, how would I go about accomplishing that? 1 week ago:
I don’t post actual threads, but my most downvoted comment was this one that I’m quite proud of:
Debian is a joke, it is so far out of date it is unusable for anything except cave-painting or maybe a stone circle.
Ubuntu is way better.
So yeah, I’d recommend OP baits linuxmemes. I think it has more users, more touchy, less sense of humour. But you’re also less likely to get your post banned in a memes forum.

Did you try asking “Will you please downvote this?” in “nostupidquestions”.
I don’t think it’ll beat ragebait though.

- Comment on Self-hosting your own media considered harmful - I just received my second community guidelines violation for my video demonstrating the use of LibreELEC on a Raspberry Pi 5, for 4K video playback 2 weeks ago:
It is probably just a video he’s making about how to self-host a 3GW nuclear power station, so that you can self-host a hundred million raspberry pi cluster.
- Comment on CO2 levels just broke another record. Here's what that means 2 weeks ago:
They really should learn how to run their vertical axis down to zero . I see no need to risk the accusation of using graphs with a lie factor. it’ll still look a dramatic increase starting a zero. They can even add a horizontal line at lowest recorded level if they want to emphasize that difference. They’re also open to a bit of criticism on the time-axis about the difference between lowest ‘directly recorded’, and other longer term estimates of the range of atmospheric carbon dioxide.
I think it is better to acknowledge those estimates and refer to the available evidence on how different the world was and what types of life and ecosystems seem to have been most common. Otherwise they can get "Well akshually it might be ‘uncharted’ but it’s probably not ‘unprecedented’ " . . . . https://paleo-co2.org/co2pip
Based on these estimates it seems plausible that early primates experienced atmospheric carbon dioxide levels higher than today. The important part is that they’d not have lived very similar lives to modern humans, maybe like small lemurs or something.
- Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 2 weeks ago:
I think there should be a “equivocal” vote.
I think that’s what boost was supposed to be for, or was that just on kbin.
- Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 2 weeks ago:
Down votes are useful for estimating the exactly how badly damaged the sense of humour in the community is.
- Comment on Do you care about up/down votes? 2 weeks ago:
Down votes are troll treasure.
Here, have a downvote for your collection.
- Comment on is white light "white" because that's what our start emits? 2 weeks ago:
There are other better answers here already.
But you got me wondering, how red are red dwarfs really? Maybe they’re just like a few % more red than our sun, but I bet they’re still quite broad band.
So you maybe could have a similar range of colour reflection and absorption. And maybe there’s enough R,G,B to saturate the receptors. I assume white is just that, when all color receptors are near saturated.
The eyes might not need to differ much, the brain can probably do everything in post processing anyway. All evolution needs to do to your eyes is to gather enough raw data that your brain can learn to differentiate, food, water, danger, things to breed with, and so on.
Maybe reduce the sensitivity of red receptor a wee bit, or maybe not, if plants are still absorbing lots of red, and we live amongst plants . . .

That’s alright, when the 100% chalk contraceptive pill and the polyethylene ‘super sensitive’ condom hit the market I think they’ll do ok.

- Comment on Does noise from different nearby sources 'add up'? Or do the different sources cancel each other out? In any case, please provide a formula and an example 3 weeks ago:
Not the one you asked but - I thought it read more like an exam question than a crapgpt question.
It is this part that rubbed me the wrong way: “Please provide formulas and an example.”
That’s like the part where the examiner is giving a hints about how the marks will be awarded.
Either way here’s my equation: P(Answer | Question and constraint on answer ) < P(Answer | Question)
I assume that’s the OOPs intention though; to block out some of the noise from the responses. I only see one formula so far (excluding my stupid one) so I’m not sure if it worked strictly, but I’d be surprised it it hasn’t filtered out some answers.

Another option is to try melting a bit of wire mesh or even strands of wire wool into the plastic with a soldering iron, or maybe just melt in a few staples across the crack.

- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 4 weeks ago:
I think the point is that the tech doesn’t materially change most starwars characters interactions from present day. It’s not really scifi because the science / tech doesn’t shape how the characters interact dramatically.
If you give the characters some real scifi-tech like put them inside computers, or have backup throwaway clone bodies, or jack them in to a hive mind, or give them time travel or alternate universes then the whole dramatic context of the character interactions has to change and the story has to be shaped by the technology to some degree. It’d likely be a bit more alien as our innate sense of constraints and jeopardy doesn’t apply.
Only really the deathstar is anything different tech wise - it is only used once, and becomes more like a part of the maguffin.
The other fantastic dramatic features that starwars does use that are alien to us - precognition, mind control, reincarnation(sortof) - are magic rather than tech.
- Comment on [META] recent changes on the type of posts 4 weeks ago:
If it’s a niche it should probably have a dedicated community for it: e.g. c/cooking@lemmy.world
Personally I did like the button sewing post, maybe that is generally useful enough that everyone should know. But I’m already in a few repair/DIY community that never get enough posts, and I’ve just found a ‘Sewing, Repairing and Reducing Waste’ one where it’d fit too.
Maybe it could be tolerated but should have a tag like [NICHE] in a title and a recommendation that OP should cross-post it as a way to promote/ support the other communities.

- Comment on How are Americans so outgoing and extroverted and how can I become the same? 5 weeks ago:
“Americans” is a stupidly large and diverse population to say anything meaningful about. It’s extremely unlikely that that any population of humans of such a size doesn’t include some individuals who are more extreme than you, both more and less, for almost all traits.
You’re less likely to observe introverts than extroverts because one of those types will tend to do things in a way that are less likely to get your attention. You’re might well be experiencing observation/selection bias, possibly also reinforced by confirmation bias.
But whatever you think to be the “typical”, even if you could estimate it using some unbiased sampling method, it is often not a helpful way describe the whole population, or at best a reductive “average” that has limited useful applications.
TLDR - human populations are diverse. I don’t think any nation has ever effectively brainwashed or eugenicised their population into a single homogeneous group.
