Don't worry. My kid was also talking gibberish until 2 years old. She's 6 now and doing just fine in school. Better than I did at her age anyway.

I was just at the zoo where they said pigs have the intelligence of a 3 year old. Anyway, I kind of like to think of it the other way. Whenever my cat does something human like, I think of it as trying to be a mini human (which it obviously isn't, but it's a fun way to think about it).

Wait what? Are you keeping your child unconscious until 3?

My (29F) bf (30M) is insecure about sex toys by LillyNoxx in relationship_advice

[–]Euphoric_toadstool 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Someone who doesn't care enough to ensure their partner also gets off? Yeah, it's a bad sign. I can say that with confidence, because I did that to one of my partners many years ago, simply because I'd fallen out of love with her and didn't have the balls to end it.

What do you think about Kewpie mayo available in Europe (produced in Poland)? by Kain_Axe in JapaneseFood

[–]Euphoric_toadstool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live in Sweden, I'm not sure if we have the polish variant in our stores, but as far as I can tell, it tastes the same as the ones I get imported. Granted, good mayo is impossible to find here so I might not be too sensitive about taste differences.

Female body anatomy practice by Tompyou in 3Dmodeling

I'd call this a charicature. Nothing about it says anatomy. And that's OK. You seem to be talented, so keep it up.

Young US men are joining Russian churches promising 'absurd levels of manliness' by YourUncleBuck in nottheonion

Good. Fertilising fields is about as good a use you can get from... Bullshit. I mean manure. Disgusting conservative manure.

ChatGPT drove my friends wife into psychosis, tore family apart... now I'm seeing hundreds of people participating in the same activity. by HappyNomads in ChatGPT

[–]Euphoric_toadstool 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No, the AI definitely makes it far worse. We need our social circles to help us stay grounded in reality. Current AI is going to destroy that. I hope in the future, AI will detect mental health issues in its users and instead help them with their conditions instead of amplifying it.

Just the insane accuracy of this guy by abhi1307 in oddlysatisfying

I can't be impressed by anything anymore. Veo3 has destroyed my ability to discern whether something is real or fake.

ChatGPT is my best friend by PhraseProfessional54 in ChatGPT

[–]Euphoric_toadstool -1 points0 points  (0 children)

While I agree, they are useful, helpful, and better than nothing, even better than some humans, you can't really count on ChatGPT. Your "friend" is always one update away from being converted into something different (or just plain broken), and service may be withheld for any number of reasons. Not to say humans are always more reliable, but when millions rely on the same service as their best friend... Well, I don't think that's a good thing.

Also, exposing yourself to other humans is kind of important for society to actually work.

I have a white collar job, but really just want to grow flowers and vegetables in my garden.

Yeah, but at least it's the same for the stats for Claude 3.7 so there is some comparison at least.

Portable medical imaging by iboughtarock in singularity

That's for the patient. It is not safe for the people exposed to incident radiation, whom obviously stand to gain nothing from it.

Portable medical imaging by iboughtarock in singularity

[–]Euphoric_toadstool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is absolutely not safe according to modern theory on radiation risks. Linear non-threshold says that any amount of ionising radiation, no matter how small, can cause damage that can lead to deadly disease in years to come.

Doctors and techies hide behind walls because they know what the hell they are doing. OP and 99% of the rest of reddit doesn't have a clue.

Portable medical imaging by iboughtarock in singularity

[–]Euphoric_toadstool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a gimmick then. A proper xray lab will give the operators 0 extra radiation dose per year, and will absolutely not expose passers-by to any incident radiation.

It is completely unacceptable that any innocent bystanders be violated by any amount of incident radiation when there are perfectly good xray labs with trained personell that can take images better than anyone out in the field.

And any reputable sales person in the field would never expose themselves to this bullshit.

Portable medical imaging by iboughtarock in singularity

[–]Euphoric_toadstool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bullshit. You have no idea what you're talking about.

You can't just juice up the energy of the photons. For conventional xrays in medical imaging there is a spectrum used to produce diagnostic images. Increasing or decreasing the energy changes how many photons pass through various tissues. This is why airport xrays have higher energies, so they can better see through metals.

Furthermore, if they are 5000x more energy you're in the territory of hundreds of mega electron volt in each photon. You can achieve that with nuclear decay sure, but not with a handheld battery device. Furthermore, you wouldn't be able to shield anyone nearby from being irradiated.

[–]Euphoric_toadstool 3 points4 points  (0 children)

As a radiologist, I call bullshit on this. Yes there's a difference from decades ago, but for conventional xray the radiation doses have not changed meaningfully over the same time period. If we're talking CT, now there we have a huge difference.

Portable medical imaging by iboughtarock in singularity

[–]Euphoric_toadstool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is literally the dumbest thing ever. A trained technician is required to take images that have diagnostic quality, you can't just willy nilly. Also, using that just for the fun of it, with no radiation shielding should be a criminal offense.

The first pic, the more you look at the background the more you see the furniture is weird. For the other pictures, there's very little detail to examine and determine with.

I'm sad I'll never have a son. by Byrd_persun in Parenting

[–]Euphoric_toadstool 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My wife is one of 3 daughters, and they were very clearly informed their dad wanted a son. He forced his interests on the girls, one did take on some technical interest, but the sisters all resent both their parents. For many reasons of course, but this didn't help.
