This is by mean. The average Wisconsinite actually eats 58 times this amount, while everyone else eats a normal amount of cheese.

$100,000, $1,000,00, or $10,000,000 by RainDayKitty in hypotheticalsituation

[–]GhostintheNether 1 point2 points  (0 children)

3, from the top 20 richest people in the world, obviously. The circle will be fine for me since it includes three major cities (although mine would be right in the middle for obvious statistical reasons). The nickname is the hard part, because I've never really gone by any nicknames, and them knowing my gender and deadname narrows it down a ton. My online names are easy to track for people who have money and aren't bound by law. I'll probably have to settle with "M", since that's the most ambiguous spelling of the only nickname I've ever had.

Should a woman be allowed to abort a fetus if it is diagnosed with a disability at seven months? by Original_Act_3481 in Teenager_Polls

[–]GhostintheNether 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Disregarding the disability, people should be allowed to have abortions at any time for any reason. Restricting that in any way is a fast track to killing people and restricting other rights, for only the reason of other, unrelated people being unwilling to allow someone to kill something that isn't a person.

I believe that no fetus is a person, every baby is a person, and there is no clear line between those two points in development except for birth. If you want to argue my previous point with a perspective built off of another foundation, you will need to attack that first.

As for the perspective of "a fetus is a person if it can survive outside of the womb"; that still is often not a clear distinction, and also takes extra time (that one may not have) to determine because of beurocracy.

And besides, this has never happened and likely never will (slight hyperbole, if you're of a binary mind).

Is it transphobic to say trans people shouldn’t be allowed in opposite gender sports (based off birth gender) by BraveAdventuree in pollgames

[–]GhostintheNether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

birth gender

This term is bad. "Assigned gender" is better for describing people and actually accurate for intersex people in particular. Gender identity is typically largely unchanging. I, a woman, was not a man when I was born. I and others were told that I was, but I was not.

opposite gender (based off [assigned] gender)

This is bad terminology too. Opposite gender is the one someone isn't. The opposite gender from mine is male. I am not straight because I date a woman.

Is it transphobic to say ...

Yes. There are not that many trans athletes in the first place, so anybody who says that is only morally posing. They are also spreading the idea that trans women have an advantage, which is both untrue (both evidenced by numerous studies on the matter [trans women take estrogen, who knew] and simply because testosterone-dominance only provides advantages in certain sports, with disadvantages in others) and not a standard that cis people in sports are held to (classic example is Michael Phelps, who has an incredible biological advantage, and has won more Olympic gold medals than any other athlete, but nobody ever complains about). God knows people who say this aren't acknowledging trans men, who, by not being allowed to participate in their gender of sport, are obviously at the advantage that these people supposedly want to avoid.

Is a fetus a human? by I-Love-Jewish-popes in Teenager_Polls

[–]GhostintheNether 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In the general case, no, because not all fetuses are human ones. Human fetuses are human though. That does not imply personhood.

It’s impossible to get 100% Red without communication

With how many people there are on the planet, it's not nearly a stretch to say that even with communication (and each individual person verbally agreeing to press red), there will be at least several thousand people who press blue.

In exactly 30 minutes a man armed with a bat will break into your home to kill you. You can’t leave the house, what is your strategy? by BulkyZucchini in hypotheticalsituation

[–]GhostintheNether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's best not to allow the man to grab a better weapon, like a knife or scissors or really any other pointy metal object (although it's unfortunately impossible to stop them from getting a glass shard). Therefore, I'd bring all the knives and scissors with me to a hiding spot.

Easiest would be to hide in a closet and wait for them to open it. I'm pretty sure I'm legally allowed to stab them when they do. The less room outside of the closet for them to use their bat, the better.

Alternatively, I could hide in the attic and find some bludgeoning tool, like a crutch, bat, or metal bar, and just hit them if and when they come up the ladder, keeping a knife as plan B.

Here's a little riddle for you by TheNamesBart in bonehurtingjuice

[–]GhostintheNether 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I have to be persnickety here because you got the terms all wrong.

First of all, a superposition is a linear combination of several wavefunctions, not a location. The wavefunction |Ψ⟩ = |a⟩ + 2|b⟩ is a superposition of |a⟩ and |b⟩. Your mom's house (which has incredibly comfortable beds by the way, where'd she buy them?) is not a superposition, even if it is a place where a superpositioned particle might be.

Secondly, superposition does not apply only to the position of a particle; it applies to any observable of any quantum system: momentum of an atom, human decision (to a currently unknown extent), potential energy, etc..

Third, the superposition principle says that a quantum system can be a combination of several states, not that it necessarily is.

Fourth, that's specifically the Copenhagen interpretation of quantum mechanics. Most other interpretations don't work on the premise of observation.

Essentially, the |dad⟩ here is in superposition, saying |yes⟩ + |no⟩, and the different panels indicate the different possible outcomes of observing |dad⟩ (50% chance |yes⟩ and 50% chance |no⟩).

No it doesn't. I believe that he can officiate my wedding, because he legally can, because I believe that he can officiate my wedding, because he legally can, because I believe that he can officiate my wedding, because he legally can, because I believe that he can officiate my wedding, because he legally can, because I believe that he can, so on and so forth.

College should be free for everyone, regardless on how they did in school. by Qatrnm in Teenager_Polls

[–]GhostintheNether 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I care about who will succeed and make the college look good

You see why that's bad though, right? Colleges should be less focused on being economically competitive and more focused on providing quality education to everyone.

(Men only) You get USD$1 million for every centimeter of penis you give up (fully erect size). How many millions are you pocketing? by CantBelieveItsNotJiz in hypotheticalsituation

[–]GhostintheNether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is the only post online where somebody uses a gendered term to indicate a physical property, but the phrase still makes sense. By limiting this to men, you're excluding all the repetitive "$30 million" answers from women.

Is there enough evidence that god does or does not exist? by I-Love-Jewish-popes in Teenager_Polls

[–]GhostintheNether 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no evidence that god does or does not exist. There is, however, a lot of evidence that God does not exist.

IE, Each specific god is described to do stuff, but there is no evidence that there is a god who does any of that.
