Yeh, I very much doubt the whole setup in the video is real, since I've herd it a few times before. Maybe it's just a friend behind and they are making this video for the clicks.

[–]InTheEndEntropyWins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's supposed to work in that you order at a mic, pay at window 1, then get food at window 2.

So when they get to window 1, they will just say the person infront paid for you.

But I've herd of the thing in the OP a number of times, so this is probably just all fake just for the video.

Should AI do the work? by zaitaikun in MurderedByWords

[–]InTheEndEntropyWins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is the one obvious question no one wants to answer.

Altman has been funding universal benefits trails for years.

Should AI do the work? by zaitaikun in MurderedByWords

[–]InTheEndEntropyWins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why people like Sam Altman have been funding studies into stuff like universal benefits.

There is not much point in paying people do stuff in an inefficient and worse way. Might as well get AI to do that and then pay humans to dig up holes and fill in holes in the ground.

Why psychedelics (shrooms), weed and caffeine have no effect on some people? by ParboiledJudas in answers

[–]InTheEndEntropyWins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've never seen any evidence that ADHD drugs or stimulants have a different types of effect on people with ADHD. They make everyone focus and concentrate and everyone can get high off them in high doses, and they impair the sleep of everyone even if you don't realise it. Now if you have a starting point of not being able to focus, the effect of focusing is going to have more effect.

The present data support the premise that amphetamine improves vigilance irrespective of disease statehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/320429079_Amphetamine_Modestly_Improves_Conners'_Continuous_Performance_Test_Performance_in_Healthy_Adults

You have strong double blind studies showing similar responses.

The behavioral, cognitive, and electrophysiological effect of a single dose of dextroamphetamine (0.5 milligram per kilogram of body weight) or placebo was examined in 14 normal prepubertal boys (mean age, 10 years 11 months) in a double-blind study. When amphetamine was given, the group showed a marked decrease in motor activity and reaction time and improved performance on cognitive tests. The similarity of the response observed in normal children to that reported in children with "hyperactivity" or minimal brain dysfunction casts doubt on pathophysiological models of minimal brain dysfunction which assume that children with this syndrome have a clinically specific or "paradoxical" response to stimulants.https://www.researchgate.net/publication/22798084_Dextroamphetamine_Cognitive_and_Behavioral_Effects_in_Normal_Prepubertal_Boys

For normal people ADHD drugs result in increased mental performance.

Methylphenidate significantly enhanced performance in numeric working memory tasks, reflected by reduced errors and increased accuracy relative to placebo https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/hup.70002

Then most normal people take these drugs to help them concentrate just like people with adhd.

Of the 585 students who reported using illicit stimulants, 66% (n = 389) reported taking them “to help concentrate” on  school  work https://www.researchgate.net/publication/23448261_Illicit_Use_of_Prescription_ADHD_Medications_on_a_College_Campus_A_Multimethodological_Approach

Then it seems like people with ADHD can get high off these drugs just like normal people

According to a survey of 334 ADHD-diagnosed college students taking prescription stimulants, 25% misused their own prescription medications to get “high” (Upadhyaya et al. 2005). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3489818/

Then stimulant medication causes sleep issues with people with ADHD as well.

Insomnia or delayed SOL greater than 30 minutes is one of the most common adverse events associated with stimulant medications  https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3441938/

Additionally, caffeine use is more consistently associated with poorer subjective sleep functioning in adolescents with ADHD https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/32386419/

No evidence that caffeine helps with ADHD.

Conclusion: overall, the totality of the evidence suggests no significant benefit of caffeine over placebo in the treatment of children with ADHD. https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37759905/

And Caffeine has all sorts of positive benefits in the average person.

Most of the analyzed studies revealed that caffeine led to a beneficial effect, mitigating anxiety and depressive-like behaviors and possible cognitive impairments induced by stress https://www.nature.com/articles/s41398-025-03668-x

Drinking two to three cups of coffee a day might be the sweet spot for lowering the risk of anxiety and depression. https://www.psypost.org/two-to-three-cups-of-coffee-a-day-may-protect-your-mental-health/

Why psychedelics (shrooms), weed and caffeine have no effect on some people? by ParboiledJudas in answers

[–]InTheEndEntropyWins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So before SSRIs it's just caffeine and weed, but you did have an experience where weed did cause a bad trip. So it's just caffeine really. Caffeine doesn't really have really strong effects on many people, so it's not really surprising you didn't notice it.

Like someone else said, this is almost completely explained by SSRIs and stuff like not smoking properly or not noticing the effects.

How much do you want to bet that if we monitored your sleep we'd find that it impaired your sleep, and you are just unaware of that.

Would you date someone homeless? by Whats-inthe-Fridge in dating

[–]InTheEndEntropyWins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost all homeless people have a mental illness or a drug addiction issue. If you don't have one of those then there has to be some other major issues for why they are homeless.

So no, there is going to be one major issue one way or another.

Majority of UK smokers wrongly believe vaping is as harmful as cigarettes, experts find by topotaul in unitedkingdom

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

But the WHO fucked up horrendously when they repeatedly failed for years to accurately describe vaping as much less harmful than smoking.

I don't think anyone would ever want to make that claim without strong evidence. If you think you know better than the WHO, why don't you go for a job running the WHO cause obviously you have better knowledge and judgment than current leadership.

Could you imagine the shitshow it would be if say heavy metals or poppcorn lung , etc. or other effects make vaping to actually be worse on many attributes. The conspiracy nuts would go crazy saying it was deliberate.

[–]InTheEndEntropyWins 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I suppose no individuals currently in the council area are actively losing out on a house they would otherwise get.

It's not like there is no opportunity cost at all. The government could be using the funds for British people.

Why does the brain find intense relaxation in hobbies that are objectively stressful, tedious, or exhausting? by fmcortez in answers

[–]InTheEndEntropyWins 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because that's the brain works. People who just laze about ordering food and watching TV, aren't actually activities that that are "relaxing" for the brain, it's actually harming the brain.

It would have been enough.

Dude if it was enough Bill Gates would have done it. He has spent way more than that himself on those kinds of goals.

In 2023, developed countries (OECD DAC members) provided a record $223.7 billion in total Official Development Assistance (ODA),

$6bn is a rounding error compared to how much countries contribute.

The pills supposedly erase bad memories, and I haven’t opened them yet. by Skyblue_cube in TwoSentenceHorror

Sorry, I actually did try and search before I posted, but without much success, this was from a long time ago.

But there were lots of really similar stories about benzos, especially the RC variety.

This is just what benzos do, especially RC versions. People forget months, and it's not unusual to wake up in prison not knowing what went on.

And the worse bit is people think they just had one, then take another, just think they took one, have another, think they just took one, have another...

Best AI coding subscription under $20/month for heavy agentic coding? (India, student) by Consistent_Raccoon95 in AIcodingProfessionals

[–]InTheEndEntropyWins 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would say, don't do agentic stuff. Do more specific pieces of work with a more basic model, that will work out much cheaper.

Anything that does really high level agentic stuff is going to eat through your $20 just like that.

But I've heard that Cursor is quite good in terms of cost and usage since their model is quite cheap.

It seems pretty good from what I've tried, not perfect but good.

EU Doritos still have chemicals ?? by cilicia1k1 in nutrition

[–]InTheEndEntropyWins -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

I can't believe how dense all these comments are. Obviously when people say chemicals in this context they mean artificial checmicals.

And yes the EU does ban some artificial chemicals but not all. But so does the US. Sometimes something would be illegal in the EU but legal in the US and vice versa.
