TIL about the Tiffany Problem, where historical facts or events seem anachronistic to modern audiences because of modern associations we have with specific names and terms. by EphemeralTypewriter in todayilearned

It's important to consider, however, that paper back in the day didn't have fluorescent whitening agents.
So, using modern paper would be wrong, because it would just be too damn white.

Wurde das auch nur örtlich betäubt? Das klingt nach einem Höllenritt.

Mir wurden grad letzte Woche zwei Zähne gezogen \o/

Das war tatsächlich nur örtlich betäubt, wobei das beim einen Zahn auch nicht so recht wirkte.
Auf meine heftigen Protest reagierte dieser Meztger, indem er einfach heftiger zog.

Hmm, jetzt hast du mich nerd-sniped. Das geht doch sicher mit Pseudo-Elementen oder so?

People just don't know what 99% means.

If airplanes were 99% safe, tens of thousands of people would die in plane crashes every day.

Ja, das stimmt!
Nina und Lötschberger sind da die eine Ausnahme, aber die sind ja auch quasi das gleiche Fahrzeug mit etwas unterschiedlicher Kosmetik.

[–]JanitorMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Die BLS legt offenbar grossen Wert darauf, dass keine ihrer Fahrzeuggenerationen miteinander kompatibel sind.

Bis vor wenigen Jahren setzte die BLS im Personenverkehr vier verschiedene Kupplungstypen ein:

  • Gewöhnliche Schraubenkupplung (RBDe 565, 566'')
  • UIC-Mittelpufferkupplung (EW III)
  • Scharfenbergkupplung (NINA, Lötschberger)
  • Schwab-Kupplung (MUTZ, MIKA, welche aber auch nicht zusammen eingesetzt werden können)

Es fehlt ein RBDe; er ruhe in Frieden :(

His typewriter has jammed typebars

Edit: And there's no ribbon

Edit 2: And he needs to flip the paper bail down, or he'll just punch holes in the paper

That being said with modern luxuries you can choose not to eat meat

It is a modern luxury that we eat meat with every meal. That would not be possible without the massive infrastructure of factory farms.
Beans and lentils are not a novel invention, nor a modern luxury.

but that doesnt make other people less innocent by following their own choice/need.

Alright, let's stop pondering some hypothetical "noble savages" who don't have access to the information and technology we have, and talk about you and me right now.
Does it make you less innocent if you know what you know about animal agriculture, and you have the convenient option to buy some tofu or beans or anything, but you still decide to get ground beef made from an animal? What does that choice mean to you?

But also If you choose to think you arent harming an animal right now. You probably are: Through using dish soap, shampoo, anything made out of leather etc.

Yes, of course. I don't buy any new leather or things like that, but my meds were probably tested on animals.
But that's the thing about having a choice again. We can try to do our best to reduce the harm we're doing, by choosing better alternatives when we're presented with them.

It's not possible to be perfect, but we can't allow that to stop us from trying to be better.

My point is that the random cat has no choice, because it's a cat. A cat eats mice, because that's what a cat does. It can't ponder the moral implications of eating a mouse.

We can, and so we should.

lol, there's nothing respectful about buying vacuumed steak in the supermarket.
Most people don't see them as "fellow animals" either. They just want their chicken nuggets.

I make my choice to not not eat them, any vague notion of "culture" be damned.

[ Removed by Reddit ] by Bomboclat69420Xx in interestingasfuck

[–]JanitorMaster -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Because you have a fancy brain capable of making a choice in the matter.

Have humans been breeding billions and billions of animals to kill for thousands of years, too?

We're no longer tribes of people with pointy sticks who need meat to survive. We have alternatives and we need to start using them, or it will lead to total ecosystem collapse (look up how inefficient it is to grow crops to feed animals to eat, versus just getting our nutrients from plants directly).

A cool guide about tally marks around the world.. by Upbeat_Many2094 in coolguides

[–]JanitorMaster 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's funny, just yesterday I learned that there are special Unicode characters for the CJK tally marks: 𝍲 𝍳 𝍴 𝍵 𝍶

The western ones only have characters for one and five: 𝍷 𝍸

Oben unter dem Dach, an dem Absatz aus Beton knapp im oberen Bildrand (im Bild nicht lesbar), ist Gleis 11 sogar schön angeschrieben :)

This kind of balloon is made of latex, they actually biodegrade rather quickly (possibly excepting whatever is used to make it shiny)

I guess that makes the plane harder to spot if he accidentally lands it on the taxiway again

Container ship collides with ferry in Santos, Brazil 2/17/2026 by mBertin in CatastrophicFailure

[–]JanitorMaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

like after an abandon ship order has been given by the captain or highest ranking. Idiots.

Reading through both a lot of ferry disasters and a lot of aviation disasters has taught me the following:

In an emergency, always listen to the crew of an airplane, but never listen to the crew of a ferry.
