- Comment on Parents opt kids out of school computers, insisting on pen-and-paper instead 20 hours ago:
To be fair, school lunches aren’t free in Germany.
Technically they could be considered free if you factor in monthly child benefits (currently at 259€ per child) or parents further qualify for social assistance.

Please provide an example that fits in the Red/Blue overlap.
- Comment on 15 degrees fahrenheit feels almost the same as 5 degrees. However 35 degrees feels WAY colder than 45 degrees. 4 days ago:
Ah, that makes a bit more sense.
Maximum body temperature should be pretty obvious - at least with one or two degrees (Celsius) of wiggle room.
Though, with minimum body temperature, do you mean minimum while conscious or minimum survivable? Because there have been cases where people were successfully resuscitated after being submerged in freezing water for a very long time:
An 8-year-old boy fell through pond ice and was submerged for ≥147 minutes. Nadir peripheral body temperature was 7 °C (45 °F). After rewarming with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation, prolonged hospitalization, and neurorehabilitation, the child recovered.
At 6-month follow-up, he was giving short commands, standing without support, riding a tricycle, eating soft foods, and relearning simple tasks.

Humans are mostly water though.
And your scale makes even less sense because you are ignoring time and air moisture (for the maximum temperature). You would probably die very quickly in a 120°C hot sauna if it had 100% moisture.
Same with the cold: I’d not survive much longer than a minute in -50°C without clothes but with adequate protection several hours seems possible.
- Comment on Epstein details scrubbed from Mandelson’s Wikipedia page by shady paid editor— As the then-ambassador came under fire, an anonymous user tried to downplay his history of support for Jeffrey Epstein 6 days ago:
Wikipedia isn’t important because of its data. Rather because of the fact it is continuously updated, extended, and fixed at a gigantic scale.
If Wikipedia ever dies, its information will lose relevance by the day. After a decade or two without a similar-scale replacement, will anyone even care?

- Comment on Neocities deindexed from Bing 2 weeks ago:
Bing/DDG has also blocked the emulation wiki (emulation.gametechwiki.com) for some reason. I noticed when I forgot the domain and tried looking for the site.
For the record, Google returns it as the top result.
- Comment on What's it like living in 2? 3 weeks ago:
To elaborate, it’s really easy to forge “regular” coins and really attractive to forge high value coins.
For example, the 1 British Pound coin was, before the redesign, widely forged:
As of March 2014 there were an estimated 1,553 million of the original nickel-brass coins in circulation,[6] of which the Royal Mint estimated in 2014 that just over 3% were counterfeit.
(Note for any languages that use the comma as a decimal separator: 1,553 million is referring to 1.5 billion)
- Comment on Ring Cameras Join Flock and Amazon to Now Create Direct Data Access for ICE 3 weeks ago:
Reason #186729 why it’s insane to have no right to privacy in public.
Fun fact: Recording the public is illegal in Germany. Any private video camera must only be able to record your own property. If you do record (and store - smart doorbells without storage that are only active when they are rung are exempted) material you must have visible warnings (that others can see BEFORE being recorded) or else any evidence you collect is likely to be thrown out in court.
- Comment on Why is sharpedo blocked in image searches on DuckDuckGo and Bing, but not Google? 1 month ago:
Bing/DDG have a lot of weird censorship.
“Shapedo” and “Sharkpedo” both work btw.
- Comment on Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 loses Game of the Year from the Indie Game Awards 1 month ago:
Could it make testing less conclusive? Part of testing is to see whether people actually enjoy the game. And I’d conjecture immersion-breaking placeholder assets could lead to worse testing reviews.

- Comment on Thousands of protesters gather as German far-right party sets up new youth organization 2 months ago:
You cannot call them assholes either. Because free speech does not include verbal attacks such as insults, bullying or hate speech. Calling someone a Nazi without substantial evidence is a pretty obvious case of an insult.
It’s not perfect, though at least Germany’s free speech and human rights protections are much greater than, say, Canada’s where a simple majority could just decide to criminalize all speech by invoking a certain clause.
- Comment on Thousands of protesters gather as German far-right party sets up new youth organization 2 months ago:
It isn’t. But they can take you to court and you’d have to demonstrate it wasn’t intended as an insult and instead as an opinion backed by substantial evidence.

- Comment on *confused flatfish noises* 2 months ago:
Is it actually possible for a fish-like animal to have eyes at the front (i.e. an animal with a hydrodynamic shape that spends all its time underwater)?
I feel like that’s really difficult for evolution to achieve, especially because the mouth has to go somewhere at the front too. I mean, look at where the lights of a high-speed train are placed and their shape.
Intuitively it feels easier to just put the eyes on the side. Plus it feels like there’s a lower risk of damaging them when bumping into something.
- Comment on E-bike rules in Australia will soon change with possible ban on sale of bikes faster than 25km/h 2 months ago:
but it doesn’t cut it for every day use
Can you explain why? Sure, it’s less than 500 W and there will necessarily be situations where it’s not enough. But how would you know it’s insufficient for every day use without trying? If it were, say, 99% as effective it would (probably) be fine, no?
Unless of course you have experience with a 250 W ebike but (from your comments) it looks like you only ever had a single 500 W ebike. Is it possible to limit it to 250 W and seeing how much it changes?
- Comment on Euler's Meme 2 months ago:
Let M be the set of all memes.
Is this well-defined? How can you tell whether something is an element of M?
f(x) is a meme making fun of x for all x in M
Does such an f even exist? Why? Obviously it exists for some x in M but for all?
Thus there exists a normie meme n
What’s a normie meme? Why does its existance follow?
and a unique function F for all natural number k
This again requires f to be well-defined.
The set M is also equipped with a dankness norm.
Prove it has that norm and please also prove it fulfills all properties of a norm.
with property that ||F(k)|| ≤ ||F(k+1)|| for all k in N.
[proof required]. Idea for a counterexample: A meme making fun of a meme in such a terrible way it cannot possibly be “danker”. Though this would require f^-1(terrible meme making fun of meme) to not be empty.
- Comment on When "AI" content becomes indistinguishable from human-made content, is there, philosophically speaking, any meaningful differences between the two? 2 months ago:
Disagree slightly, human created content can have intent but doesn’t automatically have it.
A corporate ad does not have any artistic merit besides grabbing as much attention as possible. Actually creative ads where some thought was put in are the very rare exception.
The same goes with a lot of pop music today. I cannot speak too much about English language pop but German pop is nothing more than fast food. See the Wikipedia article of Menschen Leben Tanzen Welt.
Or take a look at video games. How much artistic effort is put into AAA games? Maybe someone spent 40 hours making the lootboxes as satisfying as possible to open but that’s probably where the most thought was put in.
And movies? Aren’t Disney’s recent “live remakes” of their old, successful animated movies anything but CGI slop? Sure, I admit it takes a lot of effort to make and animate all these models. Just like it takes effort to shit when you’re constipated.
Honestly, the only thing distinguishing AI from megacorp content is that the latter has more consistency and fewer “mistakes” than the former. The sole intent of both is making money.
- Comment on She strongly disagrees 3 months ago:
The bible is most definitely subject to interpretation based on the reason 95% of it is illegible without interpretation.
As far as I know, taking that thing literally is a very Protestant/Evangelical way of looking at it.
Like, I distinctly remember in catholic education at school (since that was at the time my “official” religion) the teacher mentioning this. As an example they mentioned Jesus allegedly walking on water. Was it a miracle actually performed? Maybe. More likely it’s just a story made up to convey a message about Jesus since humans cannot physically walk on water and the act of walking on water alone is meaningless without interpretation.

Your description made me read it like “pooned” at first.
- Comment on Parkinson's sufferer wins six figure payout from GlaxoSmithKline over drug that turned him into a 'gay sex and gambling addict' 3 months ago:
One more key point:
The court heard that Requip’s side-effects had been made public in 2006, but had reportedly been known for years.
If the manufacturer did not know about these side effects despite their best efforts the awarded damages would presumably have been lower. And if the side effects were known to the patient prior to taking the drug, there wouldn’t have been a case at all.

- Comment on May or may not be based on some comments I've read 3 months ago:
Fair enough, I thought the “Fuck the colorblind” meme/image was somewhat known and changing it to “Fuck the imgur-blind” would make sense.
At least it will – presumably – make more sense for nearly every single British person that might see this in a couple of hours.
Though I do agree imgur sucks. I usually use img.bb when I need external image hosting, catbox occasionally blocks the IP address(es) of my VPN.
