There’s a Sawbones episode on fluoride and its effects on teeth (and why it’s good for you), if you like to be educated and entertained at the same time, I highly recommend listening to it! Great podcast.

And yes, fluoride is good for adult teeth, too.

Daring to suggest that MacOS is enjoyable to use is also something that will get a lot of people angry for no reason.

Not trying to be mean, but why not use fractions if you need to be more precise? If you need to express “halfway between 20°C and 21°C” you could just say 20.5°C.

Here, I’m not who you replied to, but you’ll get my “uninteresting” fact anyway: The US customary units (at least most of them) are defined using the metric system.

Imagine a pizza. The pizza is 1. You cut the pizza into three slices: two slices are 1/4 (0.25) of the size of the pizza, the other slice is 2/4 (0.5) of the size of the pizza. We’ll ignore one of the 1/4 slices for this question, as we don’t need it.

Compare the 0.25 slice and the 0.5 slice, this problem is essentially asking “how many times can I fit the 0.5 slice into the 0.25 slice?”, the answer to this is obviously… 0, if you’re thinking in integers. Okay, but how much of the 0.5 slice could you fit in…? Half (0.5) of it. So 0.5 fits 0.5 times into 0.25.

Half of the slice that’s twice as big as the 0.25 slice fits into the 0.25 slice.

Oh, fanfiction for me, too. My partner does know this about me though. I can’t actually think of anything that they don’t know about, hmm.

It’s more like they’re using the wrong sign for addition / using addition instead of subtraction to confuse you. The shepherds start with x sheep. They pay 30 and have x - 30. They should get 5 back, but they only get 3, so they have x - 30 + 3 = x - 27. If the sons had given them the last 2, they’d have x - 27 + 2 = x - 25 = x - 30 + 5.

If you want to view it from the trolls’ side, you need only multiply everything with (-1).

I was talking about the window in the picture in the comment I replied to.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but that style of window doesn’t allow you to open it fully, right?

I wholeheartedly agree, people use the term “AI” nowadays to refer to a very specific subcategory of DNNs (LLMs), but yeah, it used to refer to any more or less “”“smart”“” algorithm performing… Something on a set of input parameters. SVMs are AI, decision forests are AI, freaking kNN is AI, “artificial intelligence” is a loosely defined concept, any algorithm that aims to mimic human behaviour can be called AI and I’m getting a bit tired of hearing people say “AI” when they mean gpt-4 or stable diffusion.

Is there a banpitbulls community on lemmy yet?

Spices don’t contain chemicals?

Have you heard of rabies?

Really feels like bottom of the barrel r/funny stuff, the kinda stuff we really don’t need to be bringing back…

Also if your partner just died for three days I think you should get a pass at being angry and upset but maybe temporary death is more common than I thought.

Some bonafide boomer humor…

It’s also bullshit, we still have “realistic” art, but we let people express themselves however they want nowadays. Whether that is by painting the beauty of human life or trying to capture feelings in geometric shapes is up to the artist. That’s a good thing. We don’t need to put down art we don’t vibe with, and nobody is forcing people to enjoy or relate to “modern” art.

(Also I just want to shake every person who says “tHiS Is nOt ArT” about some piece they don’t like because oh my god art is whatever you want it to be and doesn’t follow some set of rules)

Either this is very lukewarm satire or one of the dumbest boomer comics I’ve ever seen.

The psycho ex is being threatening and an asshole, I doubt they’re using the term “girl” just in a jokey and endearing way. Has more of a “you are my girl” vibe.

Edit: also, the “bitch” and “whore” are dead giveaways lol

Idk if I count because I use Tumblr regularly, but I never warmed up to Twitter, Facebook, Instagram or Snapchat (I do use Instagram to find tattoo artists occasionally tho).

Personally I just hate how posting to some social media feels like having to put on a mask, or how performative it is. That and the constant toxicity and negativity. It’s bad for me, mentally, so I don’t engage anymore. (Tumblr is the exception because my dashboard is exactly what I want and makes me happy.)

The anonymity of the Internet brings out the worst in people, the connectivity means I see every single bad thing that happens in the world. Bad for the brain.
