  • What's the minimum number of food items you can survive on exclusively and what are they?

    Jump

  • You can survive off any single food item for some non-zero amount of time. Nothing we know of can allow you to survive forever. The question is always: how long?

  • One of my friends got a penicillin IV at the hospital, and the machine shortened it to "PENI5".

  • Suppose i have a glass of balls, what % of balls need to be blue so that i can say, balls in this glass are generally blue?

    Jump

  • With no additional context, if you said that "the balls in this glass are generally blue", I would interpret that meaning every ball falls within the range of hues that can still be called blue by most people but may be questioned by a few. So 100% of the balls have to be "I can see why someone would call that blue".

  • Who's to say what it means to present as or behave like a certain gender? To what extent does one need to conform in order to be considered conforming? Why is anything gendered at all? Does the rejection of gender as a whole not fall under the same umbrella as non-binary?

  • What's a word that's code for 'expensive'?

  • Valid question

    Jump

  • That majority of people that are worse than AI slop are also not producing anything, so we're not flooded with human slop. And when they do, we're supportive because you need to practice producing bad stuff before you can start producing good stuff.

    If humans produced slop at the same rate as AI, I guarantee you that everyone will be complaining about it just the same.

  • Rebates on used cars can come with the stipulation that the current owner has owned it for a certain number of years, and the amount can also be smaller.

  • Despite 'elbows up,' Canada on track to be net lender to U.S. for ninth straight year

    Jump

  • Right, so that's total investments that we want to reduce, not net.

    Jump

  • Couldn't you also theoretically hit net 0 while having 100% of our trades going through the US? I don't know what the "lender" part of "net lender" means, so I could be wrong here, but it seems like this isn't the right metric to look at if what you care about is trade diversification.

  • Of those who regularly donate (or think of donating) to FOSS projects, how many of them would've even had sudo cross their mind as a potential recipient for those donations?

  • 2 in 5 Americans did not read a single book in 2025

    Jump

  • 7 Minutes

    Average time Americans aged 15 and older spend reading per day, compared to over 7 hours spent on screens daily.

    That's kind of insane. What do people spend those 7h on if not reading? Is it all video content?

  • A number is either positive or negative, no? Unless you manage to hit exactly 0, but I don't think that's possible in this scenario.
