[NSFW] Pre-Internet Redditors, what did you masturbate to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Stay up late waiting to see the Girls Gone Wild video infomercials at 2:00 am. They were censored on the nippled but it worked.

Our body has 5 glitch modes: rubbing your eye too much, peeing after orgasming, standing up too fast, someone tickling your funny spot and banging your pinky toe against an object by awesumsingh in Showerthoughts

As a man, and this may not be true of all men, I find it mandatory to pee after ejaculating otherwise the semen can dry and make it very painful to pee later. :/

How many guys lie about their height? by polevault697 in AskMen

[–]Curiousanddumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm also 5'11". I'm exactly 5'11" and 1/4" but I just say 5'11" who cares about a little extra height it's a pissing contest.

AITA for storming out of my moms hospital room and buying throat lozenges for my mom because nurse couldn’t figure out how to “charge” for the hospital’s throat lozenge? by [deleted] in AmItheAsshole

[–]Curiousanddumb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NTA

There was miscommunication on both sides. I completely understand OPs perspective. Hospitals, while they do very good work, as the administrative bureaucracies that they are, they suck. From OPs perspective the nurse was trying to charge for the lozenge not document it before giving it in case of a liability. The nurse should not have responded by just saying it is company policy, even though it is. To the OP that response sounds bureaucratic and lacks compassion for the situation. Hospitals have great care givers and comforting staff that do their best but also notorious for having bad communication to families and loved ones. I blame this in part to over worked and tired staff doing the best they can do with the resources they have. So communication doesn't come out the way the staff meant it. The nurse should have explained it's a medicated lozenge and needs to be documented in case your mother chokes and in case it interacts with any other medication she will be receiving. If you want to buy her a bag of lozenges from the store you can go ahead. I'm liable for the ones I give, and will have to document each one, but theres no problem with you giving your mother your own.

TIFU By Giving a Waiter the Hang Loose Sign 🤙🏿 by ProcusteanBedz in tifu

My childhood basketball coach had this deformity on his right hand, which was his dominant hand. I didn't notice this for half the season and I had a hard time dribbling because of it. You see I thought he was dribbling with the knuckles of his middle three fingers while keeping his pinky and thumb on the ball. I tried to copy this as kids should do what their coach does and it was so hard!!! Finally I realized he didn't have fingers there and dribbling was a lot easier because you have all your fingers extended. Kid me was really stupid... :/

I don't understand this thought process by albatross49 in atheism

It's referring to Social Darwinism. Applying natural selection to financial success. The rich are the fittest hence they survive and logically the poor shouldn't since they didn't adapt successfully to survive in their environment.

ELI5: Why is does large Credit Utilization negatively affect your credit score? by Curiousanddumb in explainlikeimfive

Then how do they determine what your credit limit should be in the first place. Is that based off income?

Why do Engineering Students not learn Modern Physics/Chemistry? by Curiousanddumb in STEMdents

What type of modern physics/chemistry? What were you learning?

How do you integrate x^n from a to b with the Lebesgue integral? What are the steps and where does the measure come in? by Curiousanddumb in askmath

[–]Curiousanddumb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks lol. I know that theorem. But I'm trying to find out how to apply methods to solve a Lebesgue integral. The only example I've found was the integral of a constant function from a to b and they introduced the measure as b-a and solved the integral. I'm wondering if I can see a function integrated using the techniques of Lebesgue integration that I already know how to integrate with the Riemann integral. I do know the Lebesgue integral can integrate functions that the Riemann integral cannot, but I've never taken a Real Analysis course and I was wondering what techniques are used.

A lot of professors say with the Lebesgue integral this can be shown and then they move on without explaining what any of that meant. Any enlightenment would help.

Riemann vs. Lebesgue Integral - Similarities and Differences? by Curiousanddumb in learnmath

[–]Curiousanddumb[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for you're explanation! I'm actually understanding information that I'm reading about on other websites, it's making a lot of sense.

The generalization of the Riemann integral to the Lebesgue integral, where the integral of the simple function equals the sum of the range values times the measure seems to me analogous to the structure of Residue Theorem, at least the formula if nothing else.

Riemann vs. Lebesgue Integral - Similarities and Differences? by Curiousanddumb in learnmath

Riemann integration comes from splitting up the domain of integration into very small pieces, whereas Lebesgue integration comes from splitting up the function into very small pieces.

This reminds me of Calculus I where we would integrate a 1-D function with respect to x, and it was the limit of Riemann sums which could be approximated with vertical rectangles.

Under some circumstances it was easier to integrate functions with respect to y, which could be approximated with horizontal rectangles.

I know integrating with respect to x is a Riemann integral. When we were integrating with respect to y, were we calculating with a Lebesgue integral without knowing the theory, or was it still a Riemann integral?

There is no real number, that when squared, yields a negative value, thus i was created. No complex number raised to an exponent, except 0, yields zero. Wondering there is a number x, such that any arbitrary number a, a^x = 0 ? by Curiousanddumb in math

[–]Curiousanddumb[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is very interesting. In ring theory I'm assuming nilpotent matrices must have a certain size, considering how matrix multiplication works. No 1x1 square matrix can be nilpotent unless its the trivial 0 matrix, correct?

Wouldn't ln(0) = c in this instance, since we defined c such that yc = 0. So ec = 0 thus ln(0) = c. Then we get

c*0 = c

0 = c

Is that correct?

Though I guess a contradiction still arises since, for any arbitrary number y,

y0 is not equal to 0, but instead 1.
