The first time they did the feels like scale… My father’s colleagues were involved. They took a sample of people and put them in wind tunnels and sprayed them with water and said hey how’s it going over there.

I wish more than anything I was joking right now.

Explaining to people learning to cook that oil is liquid pan that carries heat is just too mind blowing. The simple shit is wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy beyond the average smartwatch wearing doof

We live in a world where people demanded (and succeeded) in having the Meteorological Service of Canada to report windchill as “feels like C” instead of, ya know, a measure of actual heat loss in Watts / M^2 / s

I was sign up number 3 the day they added accounts. I made I think one of the 1st hundred comments ever. I’ll never go back for any reason. The place is a joke, and what people keep going back for are the memories of what it was, not what it is.

Consider conducting some actual research and study, instead of deciding your and biased ideas represent reality.

The fact is that in terms of frequency non-males are worst. Males more severe physical damage per incident.

But don’t argue with me here, if you wanted actual knowledge on the subject you’d have it already.

Thank you for saying it. Reddit still has a pocket in the public conciousness that its still the 1st place to go for answers. It isn’t and it hasn’t been for a loooooooooong time. Not just for the reasons you say, but severe tomfuckery with what they show to SE indexing bots. Most of the links that lead into Reddit are shady as fuck, rarely lead to any good information, and are clearly bubblesorted up in the search algos for mysterious reasons we can’t know in specifics. I did hardcore SEO for 2 years so I have at least a spidey-sense that there’s major shenanigans.

I had the exact same experience. I am a man that suffered tremendous amount of violence at the hands of my female caregivers and partners. I reported a similar hate-based comment against men and I got banned temporarily.

Yeah we have people that are fucking starving and borderline ready to riot in the streets like the depression in the twenties, child labor in the states is on the rise … Fascism is on the rise… Basic human rights in the developed world are on the decline… Concentration of wealth is at an all-time high and the population which does all the work has the fewest resources in the history of the entire earth…

But “fuck Nestle” is the refrain

Put in a p in any URL to get a slideshow carousel. Great for self-flagellation. Redditp…

Please stop smoking the drapes. We are in the rise of massive fascism worldwide - I literally don’t understand how you could make such a statement.

Not to be cynical, but the same human sludge on Reddit is now here. There’s a major problem with the collective consciousness that a new platform won’t solve.

If it makes you feel any better, Reddit is and always has been shit. From their “fake it till you make it” days to the “narwhals and bacon” and then the RealFeelz™ community make-believe. It’s the people that made it what it was, the platform has always been a steaming loaf of shit.

edit: Oh wait, how could I forget the ViolentAcrez days. The LARPing mental case that had 300 accounts and VPNs before most knew what that was, and spent his entire LIFE trolling until he got found out by his employer who very publicly humiliated and fired his ass. The same fuckwit that Spez partnered with to run all kinds of scum subs like JailBait, etc. Reddit is shit, made by shit people. Good people accidentally found it now they’re leaving.

Edit… Oh what else? I was literally there before commenting so let me just see if I can pull from the steaming shit pile of reddit experiences I’ve had over the decades…

Does anybody remember her name? I want to say … S… Sahaya? Sahasha? I could be way off the beam so don’t let those guesses mislead you. There was a female who represented herself as a massive pillar of the community and posted almost 50% of the content. I and a few other people meticulously tracked down the fact that she in fact was an online marketer acting in a stealth capacity. The more savvy and experienced users at that time, remember this was like 2002-4(?), we could see through the ruse based on the pattern of her posting. Literally within 10 minutes of revealing the truth about her, she vanished, never to be seen again. So yeah literally the entirety of Reddit was a giant advertisement at first.

What else now? Let me have a few more bowls and I’ll see what else I can recall.

I was sign up number 3. I emailed Spez his own source code because he had the error reporting on his Web Server set to “VERBOSE”.

I was permanently banned for an answer in an AskReddit thread that amounted to “what is true in your line of work that you can’t say”. My answer was that (edit: as I work in a highly female-dominated field of social work 30 women for every man)… non-males are insanely violent and one of the huge lies that is held in the public consciousness is that “men are the violent ones” when the reality is all people are violent, and there’s a tremendous amount of IPV especially in same-sex partnerships. Banned for “advocating violence”.

Edit oops I edited the wrong comment lol

People who use it are intuitively unaware that it is shit. You can’t have a photocopy of a photocopy of a photocopy of a picture of a picture of a copy of a hand-drawn-facsimile and expect anything but the lowest-resolution wet feces-word-salad.

Not a lot of meat on this article, but yeah, I think it’s pretty obvious that those who seek automated tools to define their own thoughts and feelings become dependent. If one is so incapable of mapping out ones thoughts and putting them to written word, its natural they’d seek ease and comfort with the “good enough” (fucking shitty as hell) output of a bot.

Careful. Most of what “we” are taught is complete horse-shit, or at the very least a severely simplified and perverted version of underlying reality. Many people, even those who work with electricity daily,are going to go cross-eyed hearing this notion. It requires real understanding I’m afraid.

Edit, I mean you guys can downvote me all you want, but I’ve only spent 30 years doing this shit lol … Remember, if you’re going to talk to somebody that you hold in esteem re your unfamiliar topic of electromagnetism… Remember that they aren’t holding pioneering knowledge in their minds… They’re hooking up wires, checking voltages, plotting circuits, making sure telephone interference isn’t present, and that’s it. It doesn’t matter how well versed one is in electronics or electricity, 99.99% chance ones’s not thinking about these deeper subjects. I know a hell of a lot more than I let on and if you can’t see that, you need help lol

I think he was just intuitively good at seeing what exactly is the portrayal of electricity and magnetism. A unique genius with a certain insight.

I sometimes feel that there were many businesses concerns that grew around his early research and they were so successful that his newer research must have been a threat to that.

Through all the mystery, half-truths, and frankly magical thinking people have with this man, it’s really hard to know what he was up to in his final days of work, before he became a homeless bag-man. I somehow feel, without making any kind of declarative statement, that he was working on transmission of energy with longitudinal (vs transverse) waves, and discovering methods of conveying and extracting electrical potential from and through Earth.

Inline Edit: To expand on the above paragraph: The Earth doesn’t really “absorb” electrons like a pillow absorbing a ping pong ball. The energy in the negative charges that the Earth grounds must move in waves, therefore they’re grounded but now the waves are bouncing around in the Earth; that energy still exists and may sum with other waves in an additive way. I believe, again without making a declarative statement, that Tesla recognized this and was pioneering research on how to transmit energy via, and gather momentum from those waves. There were successes transmitting energy and encoded information through Earth which can be repeated today with garbage dump salvage electronics. I believe he was discovering a few dangerous things as well: Harmonic discharges of electrical devices to ground could be captured (think telecommunications and military); and he was conducting novel elemental research on tapping Earth to harmonize and extract force(s) - what these things portended led to his complete scientific alienation.

The word “free energy” always obliterates any form of rational discourse. But there was something to it in a way, but to clarify, not in a literal way. Not in the sense of violating fundamental laws of conservation, rather seeing the “other side of the coin” that if the Earth is effectively infinite Ground then it’s also effectively an “infinite” source of power if harvested.

I’ve never really “researched” the man directly but what I do know comes from quite a bit of my casual STEM self-study over decades.

Imagine disregarding the entire domain of Tesla’s work - changing the entire world as we know it with his research and innovations - and the comment they need to make for online points is some virtue-oriented pat-me-on-the-back-im-ethical blorp about random social norms of the time. lol but cry.

They snuck them in during some AB testing like 5 years ago, they didn’t stick though obv
