That’s why I keep my toothbrush wrapped in paper.

- Comment on the problem of sex 1 month ago:
Wherever it comes from, sex must be pretty old. Am I correct in the assumption that all Eucaryotes do have the ability to have sex?

- Comment on Science Journalism 1 month ago:
I specifically miss my philosophical and spiritual communities from Reddit. I love learning about mythos and different religions, especially the more esoteric stuff, as well as political philosophy. That content just isn’t here in the same way (or sometimes, at all). It would be amazing to have that here.
If you speak german, that is what the community !philosophie@feddit.org is all about.
- Comment on reDUcTIon iS gAIn 1 month ago:
No, I think it makes sense.
Living organisms use ions internally (positive charges) because they produce something (like fruits).
Technology uses negative charges because it harvests those fruits, and takes them away (negative).
- Comment on AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image CAPTCHAs 1 month ago:
Yeah, I predict that in the future, you can’t expect that content on the internet is written by humans. If you go to the internet, then it will probably not be to connect to other humans. Maybe you want to know something that a bot can tell you or you have some administrative task to fulfill, like filing a form.

I’m wondering, what sinks of O2 are there? All the iron on the surface has already turned to rust.

my dad uses this LLM python code generation quite routinely, he says the output’s mostly fine.
- Comment on The human body is a watercooled biological machinery 3 months ago:
Yes, it’s pretty cool. Side notes:
-
plants produce a literally electrical voltage across cell membrane when collecting sunlight. The solar panel is very much a technological copy of plant leaves.
-
biology can be incredibly efficient sometimes. storing information in DNA takes just about 40-50 atoms per bit, and DNA is about 2.5 nm in diameter. For comparison, the finest structures in modern computers are 3-5 nm in size.
-
since powering the whole thing is incredibly important, animals have one specialized cell (mitochondria) inside every normal cell, simply for the purpose to convert the energy from sugar into a usable form. Plants habe two of these specialized cells, with the other one’s job being simply to collect sunlight and turn it into usable energy.

- Comment on Biomass power station produced four times emissions of UK coal plant, says report 3 months ago:
thank you for this reasonable analysis :-)
Indeed, what matters is the long-term perspective. And for that, only resources mined from underground make a lasting difference.

This applies for computer games as well.
Just saying “just make a game that people actually want” doesn’t really help.

“shit” expresses excitement. And just like excitement, that can be good or bad.

so, Facebook?
- Comment on I miss console ads being this weird 4 months ago:
Just maybe with a bit less sex appeal?
Counter point: sex appeal is fine.
It’s the people who are pushy irl who are the problem. IMO you can still be very “sexy” and as long as you don’t push it, that’s not a problem.
- Comment on The Delusion of Advanced Plastics Recycling 4 months ago:
I didn’t read the article.
From a technical viewpoint, all types of plastics can be recycled; it just costs a lot of energy. So instead of supplying this energy through fossil fuels to re-cycle old plastics, they just used the fossil fuels directly to make new plastics.
In the future however, when there’s abundant amounts of cheap solar energy, it will make sense to re-cycle plastics.
- Comment on EU chat control law proposes scanning your messages — even encrypted ones 4 months ago:
Short question: how would they enforce that? What if I use some obscure messenger that nobody has ever heard of? What if I simply use
telnetornetcatto send messages to other people? - Comment on Tesla to lay off everyone working on Superchargers, new vehicles 6 months ago:
Crazy. I’ve been a long-term Musk supporter (because of meaningful business targets), but these recent events I cannot support. Laying off employees while not at the same time demanding Universal Basic Income on a state level (so that no single corporation is disadvantaged) is a death sentence to the worker population, and that, I cannot support. I’m out.

I never understood why people take everything that is written in a newspaper at face value.

“let it rot”
It’s what a lot of young chinese people say, instead of working hard, chill out and “let it rot”.
