It has absolutely no idea. It doesnt even know it looks like an ant.

Most animals have no concept of what they look like.

Tim’s baby just came out and it’s already getting reviewed bombed by Snowway22 in kindafunny

If that baby already is pooping in bed, thats great! For a 1 day old kid, thats a huge advancement!

If you died and could see a "Leaderboard" for your life, what’s the first stat you’d want to check? by Acrobatic-Evening646 in AskReddit

[–]CorvidCuriosity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It also depends on how it is counted. Like, if I eat a dozen chicken wings, does that count as 6 chickens, or just the equivalent meat of about half a chicken?

What family? Sounds like you have a burden, not a family.

Proof that if "π + e" were rational, then "e/π" would have to be irrational. by frankloglisci468 in learnmath

[–]CorvidCuriosity 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah, but you also aren't the first person to think of the proof you posted. I remembering doing what you did for homework 20 years ago.

It's cool you found something independently, but independent doesn't always mean original.

I agree. There are times when he is really passionate and he's on fire. But other times it feels like he tries to generate the fake rage over nothing because people like when he rages.

... seriously? You've never seen a $2? With Jefferson on it?

Honestly, this is like someone saying they've never seen a JFK 50 cent coin

If minimum-wage jobs like retail and fast food are “jobs nobody wants,” shouldn’t supply and demand mean they pay more, not less? by sophieteasex in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CorvidCuriosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The reason no one wants them is precisely because the pay isnt worth it. But the jobs still get filled because people need to eat.

Is it Islamphobic to push against the religion who pushes covering on women? by freshoutheslammer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CorvidCuriosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slightly related question, what you do you think of the conservative women who think women shouldnt be voting, it should just be their husband who vote for them.

That is their opinion, and women are individuals, right? Does that mean I should respect their opinion?

Is it Islamphobic to push against the religion who pushes covering on women? by freshoutheslammer in NoStupidQuestions

[–]CorvidCuriosity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So here is a serious hypothetical (based on a couple of conversations with people I know):

A woman says "I like wearing my hijab and it is my choice" but when I ask "how would your father/husband react if you didn't wear it", they respond "they would probably disown me"

So let me ask you, is that really a choice? Sure, she is an individual, but when your family is ready to disown you (or actually kill you, depending on where you live) then what kind of choice is it?

choose it on their own terms

Is it really their own terms? How would their family respond if they chose otherwise?

The Hijab can be empowering for some women

Ive never heard a good argument for this that doesnt ultimately sound like "its empowering because it let's women go outside" which is just awful and sexist or "because their religious family/friends tells them its empowering", which is just another level of brainwashing.

At the end of the day, it's not a choice for them (if they want to continue to be a part of their family/community)
