Hi!
My previous/alt account is yetAnotherUser@feddit.de which will be abandoned soon.
- Comment on Thousands of protesters gather as German far-right party sets up new youth organization 3 hours 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 And my premature ejaculation is the shortcoming!? 12 hours ago:
No, it’s a race and the winner takes all.
- Comment on *confused flatfish noises* 23 hours 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 days 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 6 days 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 weeks 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 2 weeks 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.
- Comment on pwned: do you pronounce it as "pohned" "pawned" or "owned" 2 weeks ago:
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' 2 weeks 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 Germany to Boost Ukraine Aid by $3.45 Billion in 2026 3 weeks ago:
The money wouldn’t have been spent on our own people in the first place. That’s not the type of party in charge.
- Comment on You guys ready for NO Nut November? 3 weeks ago:
Dammit, I failed that one too already.
- Comment on An in-space construction firm says it can help build massive data centers in orbit 4 weeks ago:
Me too. I’ll even make them full AI.
Please send me $2 billion by Tuesday. My salary as yetAnotherUser CEO & CTO is a modest 20 million/year. Results are expected to appear by 2030.

- Comment on May or may not be based on some comments I've read 5 weeks 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.
- Comment on May or may not be based on some comments I've read 5 weeks ago:
You didn’t put this on imgur! Now every Brit can tell what it says >:(
- Comment on May or may not be based on some comments I've read 5 weeks ago:
I now see how posting this at 12 am UTC could lead to more colorblind people than British people stumbling across this meme first.

Block and move on if you care so much about someone not conforming to grammar conventions in the most harmless manner imaginable.
Just imagine your comment under someone using all lower case letters instead of capitalizing Proper Nouns and the beginning of sentences.
- Comment on got this ad and uh 5 weeks ago:
You support Palestine because you believe they are the victims of genocide.
I support Palestine because I believe they are the perpetrators of genocide.
We are not the same.
- Comment on xkcd #3155: Physics Paths 1 month ago:
Sure, but misspelling historically significant names is a pretty bad sign for any flavor of science really.
I’m pretty sure Brits would want to stone me if I called that apple guy Newdon.
- Comment on xkcd #3155: Physics Paths 1 month ago:
If any paper contains these misspellings of Feynman, Einstein or Hawking I would consider them at best sloppy writers.
- Comment on Clock logic 1 month ago:
To some extent, though I still often hear people using the 12 hour system.
Just yesterday I’ve heard someone complain about their night shift which starts at 6.
Especially because in German you can’t say “half 17” for 16:30, only “half 5”. You save two whole syllables with this way over “sixteen thirty”!

- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 1 month ago:
Hasn’t he admitted to changing his opinion after learning about the effects on children? I’m not in the loop about this.
But yeah, you definitely shouldn’t treat his words as gospel. A lot of questionable-at-best stuff in there.
- Comment on Google's shocking developer decree struggles to justify the urgent threat to F-Droid 1 month ago:
I sometimes like to read his political posts:
www.stallman.org/archives/2025-jul-oct.html
And honestly? I mostly agree with them? Like this:
ABC ordered to pay Antoinette Lattouf another $150,000 for unlawful termination over Gaza Instagram post.
But a company faced with enormous threats wielded by fascist officials who demand that certain views be suppressed will treat such penalties as the normal cost of sucking up.
The [Israeli] army says that HAMAS is using apartment buildings for “surveillance”, and has bombed some of those buildings to destroy them. Based on this logic, the army might bomb every tall building in Gaza City with the large bombs that the US is providing
He has some questionable beliefs as well, though for unusual reasons. He accepts non-binary people but refuses to use they/them pronouns because he doesn’t like the ambiguity of singular/plural pronouns. So he has invented the neopronouns per/pers to refer to singular non-binary persons. I genuinely think no other person on this planet could hold this opinion.
- Comment on So...how the fuck do I trust *anything*? 2 months ago:
Same here.
A pattern in almost every song, book, poem, movie?
Like greed? Antisocial behavior? Populism? Lies? Belief in your own supremacy? Capitalism?
Honestly, my first thoughts were they eitnessed Cthulu. Though I suspect they intentionally chose to phrase it such that it invokes this analogy.
If we ignore the pattern aspect they mentioned maybe how history repeats itself? How tyranny emerges and sustains itself on fear and oppression?
I have no clue. It’s so vague.

Sure, this doesn’t include billionaires who don’t work but there just aren’t enough of them to matter. It’s not like there are hundreds of thousands billionaires in Germany.
