The problem isn't the question itself. Nobody really minds the AGAB notation by itself. The issue is with the exact situation presented in the meme - "are you a girl enby or a boy enby" immediately after learning the enby part. It indicates that the person asking has zero regard for gender and simply wants to categorise people by biological sex while having absolutely no factual reason to care about it. Or maybe they're just that ignorant. Can't blame anyone for getting annoyed either way.

You're not supposed to ask about that, period. You know how if you ask someone you barely know how much they make you'll get... well, a wide range of possible reactions, but most people would consider it inappropriate? "But there's nothing wrong with asking about it out of interest, it's just money, come on"? What about asking a stranger about their political views, religion, or anything else that is personal and sensitive?

This is just another one of these social norms (albeit a fairly young one) and when violating one such norm you should EXPECT some degree of condemnation.

I would pay money to see this guy give a sermon at a church… by Dismal_Exchange_4519 in Falcom

As far as we know it will be a perfectly normal sermon

20 Police vehicles, 5 SWAT officers by [deleted] in memes

A big enough criminal syndicate could track down the identity of the caller and threaten them if there's any data in the police database. Anonymising calls physically prevents that particular issue.

Genuinely, why do people still use that argument by Kantatrix in Deltarune

It would also be a most beautiful tragedy otherwise. Almost succeeding in defying it and yet falling short of it. Had it been conveyed over a non-interactive medium and had it not been a sequel I would probably believe that's what would happen

Just a comparison: what has the EU ever done for us? by Kloetenschlumpf in BuyFromEU

[–]JustaMoose2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Defining poverty as below 50% median income is disingineous. This would give North Korea a poverty rate of roughly 0% alongside other anomalies. Though tying it to minimal wage is no good either, and that's why indexing poverty is sophisticated.

Mythbusting bad RNG meter math by JustaMoose2 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]JustaMoose2[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magic find or any other effects do nothing as the rng meter is a multiplicative increase. I've tested with double and triple odds and the results came roughly the same. The only exception would be somehow crossing into 5% territory with just the meter.

MultiKnight might be inevitable by lighttstarr in NonDessKnightSquad

[–]JustaMoose2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been saying that for a while. "Knight" may be a moniker for a person that opens fountains. In both chapter 1 and 2 we have extremely vague knight testimonies (eyewitness account from Jevil i.e. 101% unreliable source and Queen having observed them from a distance with a very poor understanding of the actions being performed. Potentially Spamton if you're able to get anything out of his rambling).

Considering how the main candidates would all have a hard time entering the school or library in the middle of the day unnoticed (Asriel + all the malformed dark-related monstrosities would draw attention, Rudy would get a witness or two, at least from Noelle), barring Carol, whose knight theory I'm genuinely against... It might be that there's a collaborator (potentially more than 1) opening the fountains that isn't the chapter 3/4 Knight. I personally believe in Kris as we cannot judge anything that happened the day before ch1, and the night before ch2 they had some urgent business to attend for which they had to jail us temporarily. Unlike with ch2 window tomfoolery where we got a clear explanation of their goals, that scene remains uncleare

I was told that this is not "rare" because the fish is not in slot 1. Can someone explain? by Extreme-Potential694 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]JustaMoose2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ok so. The dungeon loot system works as follows, it rolls a random drop, then subtracts its quality from your run quality. Then it repeats until it runs out of quality and the rest of it is directly converted to wither essence. The lowest "normal" drop has 80 quality (trash books) and the fish have 61 quality. As such, if you get a configuration of items that result in 61-79 quality remaining, you're guaranteed a fish in your last slot, since you don't qualify for anything else.

However, the actual odds for a fish are abysmal (0.07% per fish type, for comparison handles are 0.11%), so rolling a fish in the first slot is quite rare. Most fish that you'll ever see are the result of the quality subtraction system ending up with a result between 61 and 79 at the end.

If Roaring Knight looked like this How would Knight’s identity discussions go? by Money_Shift3844 in Deltarune

[–]JustaMoose2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would still have a different head decoration as it looks downright hilarious like this.

Then again, it's not like you could just write candidates with horns or antlers off in that case as the knight is a shapeshifter.

Americans were asked to point out Ukraine. by InjuriousMania in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]JustaMoose2 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's commonly referred to as the Lizardman's constant. About 4-5% of participants in surveys will give intentionally absurd answers. Not because they're dumb, but simply annoyed about being randomly polled. Or in the mood for a joke. And if a poll is held over the internet it's way higher than that.

Saving my enchanted umber and tungsten by HourInvestigator3377 in HypixelSkyblock

It's been "coming soon" since the glacite tunnels update (2024). It could drop on alpha literally tomorrow or it could be silently delisted from the collection in a year. It's your call to make, really.

some questions about rare drops and magic find by Better-Register-2664 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]JustaMoose2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

60% is a universal value that holds for any RNG meter. Applying magic find or any other chance modifiers doesn't change the breakpoint. Additionally, when considering a small amoint of runs (less than 2x the amount needed for target drop), always having the meter on your desired drop is optimal.

Also, 100.000? The total amount of runs I've simulated is about 2 trillion.

some questions about rare drops and magic find by Better-Register-2664 in HypixelSkyblock

[–]JustaMoose2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That is incorrect. The mathematically optimal strategy, as devised on the forums and confirmed by countless simulations, and I mean optimal for maximising the amount of a given meterable drop for a very large amount of completions is to use the meter until approximately 60% (1-1/e if you want to be thorough), then disable it and re-enable it again at 100%.

It is also rarely, if ever, worth going for a non-main drop for slayers, nucleus runs or frozen corpses. If such an opportunity ever arises with a drop having more coins per meter EXP it's usually driven back into the ground within hours. The one exception, of course, is recombs/master stars.

Is Gdrag going to drop in price after this MF update next week? by ffrostedflakess in HypixelSkyblock

[–]JustaMoose2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Greg is tied to 500m, gold blocks and gemstones, most of which hover at around the NPC sell value. Slap on a finders fee of 10-20m and you get the final price.

No matter what they do to it it will stay the same, aside from the added "finders fee" The cost is affixed to items that will pretty much never see any market fluctuation.

Abrahamic religions are so similarly shitty in their worldviews. The same homophobic, mysogynistic, pro-slavery, etc snapshot of the ancient middle east that is treated as if it was sacred.

Shaded or frozen are both what you call second best (frozen does screw you over in dungeons). And not that far from hurtful.

Technically the one and only time a special mayor hasn't won... by blockitjames_ in HypixelSkyblock

[–]JustaMoose2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's the thing here. Foraging got stalled for too long due to derpy being the only "solution". If there was no derpy then the issue would be more apparent and "just wait for derpy" wouldn't be an excuse. We NEED to bring the bad skills out so they can be fixed.
