- Comment on Could I get an autopsy done on myself while I'm alive? 5 months ago:
I know in Germany murder is still murder if the murdered person consented to it.
Also, an autopsy isn’t just “randomly cutting someone apart”. The point of an autopsy is to determine a person’s couse of death and doesn’t just involve cutting the dead person open. You being alive means that an autopppsy, by definition, cannot be performed on you.
What you want is someone to mutilate and kill you. I’m pretty sure you can find someone willing to do that.
Side note: I think you overestimate how long you will stay conscious when the blood starts flowing, painkillers don’t fix your brain running out of oxygen.
- Comment on To what do blind people jerk off? 6 months ago:
Humans have other senses besides sight you know? Taste, touch, smell and sound are all heavily involved in sex. And if you can sense them, you can imagine them. Do you need to see your partner to get aroused?
(Also, a majority of blind people have not always been blind, so I imagine many of them still also imagine what someone looks like)
- Comment on Why is currency so essential? 6 months ago:
Do they? I’m pretty sure only about one in three humans works in food production. I think it is reasonable for them to expect the other two to give them something for their food in return.

It’s nice to have something to eat.

yup
- Comment on Ah, Yes! AI Will Surely Save Us All! 6 months ago:
Technological progress reduces the amount of work required to perform certain tasks. In any just system, this would improve the lives of the general population, either by reducing the amount of work required to make a living, or by increasing the amount and range of products and services.
If technological progress does not do that, and instead makes the rich richer and the poor poorer, the problem isn’t technological progress, but the system in which it is applied.
So what I’m saying is this: AI isn’t the problem. AI replacing employees isn’t the problem. The problem is that with a class divide into investors and workers, the ones profiting the most from technological progress are the investors.

Exactly this. One major reason I’m on here is that SDF lets me choose for myself what I wanna see and what I don’t.

They are trying to punish the whistleblowers to prevent any whistleblowing in the future.

Bill Clinton was accused of having sexual relations with an intern at the white house when he was president. I guess she’s supposed to be under the table.

Maybe find another student and gift something together.
- Comment on There's more people who wake up at the same second than people who fall asleep at the same second. 9 months ago:
The title says “There’s more people who wake up at the same second than people who fall asleep at the same second”. One could (and most people seem to) interpret this as “the maximum amount of people waking up at any given second is higher than the maximum amount of people falling asleep at any given second”, which is a statement I agree with.
It seems we just weren’t talking about the same thing. You were talking about the maximum values of both distributions, for which the statement is true, while I only considered the distributions’ median and mean values, for which the statement isn’t true.
I disagree that the post makes clear OP is referring to the max values, but I guess that’s because english is not my first language, and my statistics background likely made me over analyze the statement.
- Comment on There's more people who wake up at the same second than people who fall asleep at the same second. 9 months ago:
Of course there are moments where more people awake at the same time than fall asleep at the same time. In the second 07:00:00 , yeah, more people awake than fall asleep. The same isn’t true for 22:13:35. And if you look at all seconds of the day you will find that on average, each second the amount of people that fall asleep is roughly equal to the amount of people waking up.
What you are talking about is variance. There is a higher variance in the times of people falling asleep than there is in the times of people waking up. That does not mean that “more people wake up at the same time than fall asleep”. There are times of the day when significantly more people wake up than fall asleep, but as a counterweight, on prettey much all other times, the amount of people falling asleep is slightly higher than the amount of people waking up.
So actually, it’s the reverse. Given that most people wake up to alarm clocks, if you pick a random time of the day, it is likely that in that second more people fall asleep than wake up
- Comment on There's more people who wake up at the same second than people who fall asleep at the same second. 9 months ago:
I don’t see why that would be true. People generally fall asleep about as often as they wake up, so the number of people who fall asleep at the same time and the number of people who wake up at the same time, averaged over all moments of a day, should be pretty much equal.

Of all the shit Ubisoft does, not selling on steam is the dealbreaker? Alright.
- Comment on Is it okay to wash hands with body soap? 10 months ago:
yes, its practically the same thing. Both contain surfactants, which is the stuff that allows you to rinse off oils and fats with water.

- Comment on smellulator 10 months ago:
Smell is a pretty complex thing.
For vision, we only have four different kinds of receptors, which can be stimulated by electromagnetic waves on a one-dimensional spectrum.
For smells, we have about 350 different kinds of receptors. Also, they can’t easily be stimulated by electromagnetic waves, but only by molecules, which are much more difficult/costly to transport to their corresponding receptors.

Not a lemm.ee user, but personally I only blocked hexbear after I was banned from a hexbear community first. Honestly, hexbear is doing quite a lot of banning and blocking, so I’m surprised you guys have such an issue with being banned and blocked yourselves.
- Comment on How does a -1 vote happen? 1 year ago:
I’d asume someone downvoted, then removed the downvote. The original downvote didn’t get through, but the reversal did. Something like that
- Comment on "Don't judge a book by its cover." is a bad idiom, because bookcovers are desinged to represent the content of the book. 1 year ago:
Maybe, the point still stands. I’ve read awesome books with boring covers and vice versa. Its really a good saying that does apply to most areas in life.
