🌌 we are all in the gutter but some of us are looking at the stars

  • It’s not an indication that they don’t love or value you, rather the exact opposite.

    100%. The opposite of love isn't hate, it's apathy. A parent who reacts that strongly still cares about you on some level, however messed up their way of expressing it may be. A parent who would shrug and continue watching tv, on the other hand, is beyond redemption.

  • I understand that I’m a bit like a toaster that was advertised as a chef…but really all I do is try to burn your house down

    This is a beautiful metaphor and I'm pissed that it came out of an LLM. Either this is a hilarious consequence of the word "toaster" often being followed by "burn your house", or someone else on the Internet came up with it and the LLM just regurgitated.

  • I was going to make fun of the title (which is basically "Sick ants stink, the others don't like it and make it stop") but IMO this is the important bit:

    Then, the team conducted an experiment showing that the sick pupae only produce the smell when worker ants are nearby, proving it is a deliberate signal for destruction.

    That does go beyond just smelling bad due to illness.

  • Everyone makes mistakes

    Except psychopaths who know their claim is garbage but lie through their teeth to get it published. That's not a mistake, that's corruption.

  • your brain does that, not the speaker

    This is fascinating. I never realized that sound is processed like this. Not that different from sight then, which is processing a bunch of electromagnetic frequencies.

  • So it's not the record or the CD or whatever that is magic. It's our brains. Holy shit that is so cool. Thank you for explaining it so well!

  • Oh ok, I thought you meant pulling the eyeballs "inwards" as in towards the back of your head! What you describe, I'd normally call "crossing" my eyes.

  • Moving your eyes inwards

    Details, please. 🤨

  • I just tried that and I can definitely say the closure happens at the pharynx for me, which is also what I do consciously when I hold my breath.

  • I am intimately familiar with that feeling. Because it's not just popcorn that causes it. In apples, the seed chambers are lined with a hard membrane that is extremely similar in size and texture to a popcorn hull. If you bite too close to the core, or if you eat apple slices from uncored apples, youwill get one stuck in your throat.

  • "And here is the data to prove it."

    audience gasps

  • I like him too.

  • The answer was in us all along.

  • Today is my birthday and this is very much how I feel about growing older. It's not at all what I thought it would be.

  • What if I choose another president's EO's and policy initiatives? The question doesn't restrict itself to only 45/47.

  • "Eh, worth it."

  • Some wear lab coats and blue nitrile gloves!
