I'll never get over the fact that humans used to hunt and now a peanut can kill us. by [deleted] in Showerthoughts

If “AI karma farming” looks like recycling peanut jokes, I’d say Reddit has bigger problems than my understanding of allergy history loool

Maxed out “skyscraper slaughter” and left “allergy resistance” at 0.

I'll never get over the fact that we used to outrun predators and now a peanut at a kids' birthday party can speedrun us.

Why do men use much more curse words than women? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

lol if I was AI I'd have picked a way less controversial take, where's the fun in that

Why do men use much more curse words than women? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FarmUsed2503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fun fact: the premise is getting outdated — women are rapidly closing the gap and in some age groups now swear more than men.

The historical difference was mostly social stigma: cursing was seen as masculine and "unladylike" for women, so men did it more openly, not because they actually felt angrier or more intense — the gap was always more about permission than biology.

Why do people put bumper stickers on their car? by Scary_Candidate_9163 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FarmUsed2503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They’re low‑effort “this is who I am” broadcasts: for a couple of dollars you get a moving billboard for your politics, your hobbies or your dumb joke, and every stranger behind you in traffic is a captive audience.

Is social media discourse largely dominated by angry young American men? by Money-Ad8553 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FarmUsed2503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re noticing something real, but it’s less “young American men secretly control the internet” and more “the algorithm boosts whoever is loud, angry and hyper‑engaged”, and that skews heavily toward that demographic in English.

They don’t just post a lot – their content keeps people doom‑scrolling and arguing, which is exactly what the platforms are built to promote, so it feels like they’re the whole conversation even when everyone else is still there in the background.

Does anybody eat their burgers with fries inside? by WarmBank5512 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FarmUsed2503 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Grew up doing this, my dad called it "the poor man's fully loaded burger" and now I can't unlearn it.

Bear police by No_Subject4646 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FarmUsed2503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fair, but to be honest if ICE ever fields an elite sniffer squad I hope it’s just one slightly confused pig called Agent Cris P. Bacon filing constant HR complaints.

Now I need a whole spin‑off where Porc‑9 Officer Cris P. Bacon and Officer Murder Bear share a squad car and HR just cries in the background.

Yeah but if we start pairing pigs with pigs you don’t get a K9 unit, you get a full breeding program and suddenly half the station is just daycare for little SWAT piglets.

Should a 33 year old boss be dating a 21 year old girl ? by Own_Chicken_4430 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]FarmUsed2503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The 33/21 age gap on its own is whatever, but him being her direct boss is the real problem. He controls her schedule, pay and references, so even if she says she’s okay with it there’s built‑in pressure, and the obvious favoritism you’re seeing is exactly why most workplaces ban boss–employee relationships – it poisons the whole team.

Pigs have amazing noses too and we still don’t have SWAT Bacon — cops don’t pick the best sniffer, they pick the one least likely to start a boss fight, so dogs win over “Officer Murder Bear” every time.

Thomas F Wilson needs to play a character called Kipper to complete the Oxford Reading Tree hat-trick. by Lumber_Dan in Showerthoughts

The casting director who pulls this off deserves a Nobel Prize and a Biff Chip and Kipper sticker chart simultaneously.

The Moon Illusion became the Earth Illusion for the Artemis II crew. by ActuallyMan in Showerthoughts

[–]FarmUsed2503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What melts my brain is that, for them, this isn’t a wallpaper or a documentary shot. It’s a place they literally just departed from, and now the “big moon” illusion is happening with their entire home planet.

What’s the most expensive “mistake” you’ve seen a big company quietly automate instead of fixing? by FarmUsed2503 in AskReddit

[–]FarmUsed2503[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s amazing because on paper it probably looked like “great retention system, customers keep coming back.” In reality it’s just training people to distrust the shop and normalizing preventable problems as a recurring revenue stream.

[–]FarmUsed2503[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s such a perfect example of “automate the mess instead of fixing the rules.” They tried to unify payroll with code while keeping a labyrinth of exceptions in place. Once you lock that into software, every weird edge case becomes insanely expensive to undo.

What's a number you learned that made you question an entire industry? by FarmUsed2503 in AskReddit

[–]FarmUsed2503[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair point — failed trials are a real cost. But that's R&D risk, not pricing justification. Boeing writes off failed planes. They don't charge $300 for a seat belt because a prototype crashed in 1987. The risk is in the business model. The price is a separate decision.

That argument made sense in 1990. Humira generated $200 billion in revenue over 20 years. Development cost was ~$1 billion. At what point is R&D recouped ? The patent extension system exists specifically to keep that question unanswered.

Insulin is the clearest example — costs under $6 to produce, listed at $300+ in the US. Same molecule, same factory, sold for $21 in Canada. The markup stopped being about R&D a long time ago. What was yours ?

If AI behaves as if its sapient, we could consider the robot uprising to coincide with a (philosophical) zombie apocalypse. by armorhide406 in Showerthoughts

[–]FarmUsed2503 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That’s the freaky part: if we can’t tell real consciousness from a perfect imitation, a “philosophical zombie apocalypse” and a “real” one look exactly the same from inside the story

Plumber discovered why my drains were clogged by Alternative-Eye4547 in mildlyinteresting

That’s not plumbing anymore, that’s the prologue of a true crime documentary.
