I can tell you that, no, you cannot always “just bounce back”. Maybe you can, good for you, but that does not apply to everyone

Yes, but when it comes to weight, it really is just calories in and calories out. A healthy diet is more than that though, indeed

You can still eat junk food and not go up in weight as long as you don’t overeat

Forreal

Terraforming mars is like, a neat idea that maybe we can try as a super long term project for humanity once most of our problems are solved but…

It’s not a solution. It’s not easy, and definitively not easier than solving our projects down here on earth. It’s like, instead of repairing your leaky roof you go out and plan to build an underwater waterproof habitat dome for yourself

Or anything else really

It’s hell to try to understand something someone gave you if they don’t label things properly. It’s like “I can see there is a number here, but what the fuck does the number mean”

Or maybe it’s just what the camera defaults to and they don’t bother changing it because why would you? Which is a more reasonable assumption than calling them delusional

Gotta have better sleepovers then. Ones where vibrators are welcomed, not shamed

Until lossy compression compresses it out because it’s not visible to the human eye

Lmao, people don’t need to stop being online to see and feel the problem. A lot fucking live it, feel it on their own, or a loved one’s, skin

I haven’t seen it, I’m younger than the movie and nobody really talked about it in any significant capacity

Because knowledge is a preventative measure to being manipulated

People also say that knowing that historical events happened don’t benefit them, would you agree with that too? These things are a lot more nuanced than just what direct benefit they give you. Knowing the basics of how our world works, including how nature works, is useful.

You have no idea how many times I had to explain evolution to people because it was relevant to the conversation and where they were tricked by some weird bullshit. Gaps in knowledge are exploitable, but not only that, the more you know, the higher your capability of connecting concepts together in a sound manner is

Knowing how evolution works has been generally useful in my life, and I am very happy I know how it roughly works, and the field I’m in is nowhere near biology or chemistry or nature

The pythagorean theorem or the theory of evolution is not “super niche knowledge”… Do you understand how foundational the pythagorean theorem is? Or how important knowing the theory of evolution is to understand how nature works?

And the periodic table of elements is literally the building blocks of our reality. Sure, less critical knowledge then the other two, but still vital in my opinion

I mean, how much scaremongering about “chemicals” and stuff could be resolved if people just knew the very basics of chemistry?

These things very much tie into being a rational citizen of the world that actually knows how the world works and doesn’t live in fantasyland. This is literally just stuff to ensure that we share a common fundamental view of reality

It’s not distance to mirror, it’s the focal length. The focal length of our eyes is static

But have you considered that the action of changing the time requires you to make a choice, get up, shift context, actually do it, then shift back, tiring you out?

Browser zero days are some of the most valuable exploits in existence, so I highly doubt it would happen in practice

They probably do

Ok but this is very simple. Everyone can set up something like this using home assistant and a few sensors connected up to it

It’s less effort and typically more realistic (in the sense that it looks more real, not that it is)

But it’s unethical either way, don’t make non-consensual porn

The most annoying thing since the rise of LLMs is that everyone thinks that all of AI is just LLMs

Classification machine learning models can also be neural networks, which is something that was called AI also
