  • So I'm a little confused here, because yes that article states that the Coriolis effect isn't responsible for anything as small as a sink or tub drain going either direction, and that it is based on the angle of the water going into the system (obviously, of course), but I don't see it saying anywhere that toilets don't flush in reverse in Australia. Is there a difference in the convention between US/UK and Aussie toilet manufacturing that might for whatever reason cause water to enter the bowls at different angles? Do we use the exact same toilets? Frankly that article doesn't tell me whether Aussie toilets do or do not spin in reverse, just that if they do it is due to plumbing variables rather than the often falsely-claimed Coriolis effect, so it feels sort of like it's answering an unasked tangent in this context rather than the question at hand.

  • If the entirety of the internet was a simulation how would you prove it?

  • Personally, I think it's extremely unlikely. That's why I think Apatheism is the way:

    The theist says there is a God with certainty, the atheist says there is no God with certainty, the agnostic says we cannot be certain the existence of God, and the apatheist says "guys why are we wasting our time stressing out about unknowables? Let's go get a pizza."

  • This suggests a cosmic reason or purpose, yet I find no evidence for that conclusion exists.

    There just might simply not be a "why?"

  • Absolutely. But the harrowing part is realizing this applies to some folks we deem delusional in the context of our world too.

  • Honestly no joke, I do hope the future is one where we eschew all this needless religiously-borne body shame. We are the only animal on the planet that feels the need to be ashamed of our genitalia. That's weird. And I think it's weird as hell that for the vast majority of us, we have no idea what like 20% of the bodies of our very closest friends and relatives look like. That's crazy to me - I don't know what 20% of my very best friend actually looks like.

    So yeah, I desperately hope humanity in the future has figured out how get past this unnecessary shame.

  • My friend, we cannot even prove that our entire life is real.

    We know the human mind is capable of extreme delusion, we can observe this in mentally unwell patients who are convinced their delusions are reality.

    So if we acknowledge the human mind is capable of delusion, delusion so strong to be certain in its veracity, then there is no way that we can confidentially conclude that anything and everything we know isn't delusion.

    So in short, there is no way to definitively prove the internet is real because we can't even definitely prove that reality is real.

    I could be laying in my crib right now having imagine this and every interacting leading up to it entirely, just waiting to wake up. Literally every single thing I think I know could actually fully and completely not exist. The only thing I can be certain of in all reality is that I exist because I am considering my reality: I think, therefore I am.

  • It's all bean water and the sanctimony people attach to any of it is weird.

    It's also funny to make a comment about French presser users judging other coffee drinkers which inherently judges the french presser.

  • I used to read through history and so frequently I would wonder things like "how did these serfs just put up with this for so long?"

    I no longer wonder these things.

  • Wow that's cute and bittersweet.

    Just remember, parents, it goes the opposite way too. Sometimes a kid has real talent, but lack of encouragement doesn't push us to cultivate it. Kids pick up on what you say, or don't say, more than a lot of parents realize.

  • It is impossible to fully understand loss as it happened without being around to witness what an absolute shitbag Buckley had been online for a long time preceding it. A big part of what made loss so ridiculous was it being so sanctimonious from the internet's most childish shithead.

  • You know that for the vast majority of human history copyright didn't exist, and yet people still created art and culture, right?

    edit: If you're gonna downvote, have the balls to explain how I'm wrong.

  • Well, we're talking about mass market, supermarket butters in the first place here. Nobody is comparing these to boutique shop butters.

    Beyond that, for me personally, I've always considered Kerrygold to be a very decent, better than Land O' Lakes or store brand butter, but I have a preference for either Plugrà or Lurpak in my supermarket-available butter. Finlandia is also very good.
