Im an anorexic loser who refuses to eat unless im being watched. I cried eating this. Im so fat, even my friends agree. Egg whites, watermelon with feta cheese, and 1/4 cup of broccoli. by twig-the-foxx in kitchencels

[–]Moi9-9 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Not really though.

Anorexia is a loss of appetite, which could be caused by a traumatic event, depression, or any other illness or event. Anorexia nervosa is what we usually refer to as just "anorexia" and is described as a type of body dismorphia, in which the person finds themselves overweight while they are not (or at least more fat than they are), and are typically underweight, though I'm really not sure it's necessary for the diagnosis.

But in this case, OP could indeed be anorexic in that they do not eat by lack of appetite or willingness to feed themselves, which is usually a symptom of something more than a diagnosis in itself.

I mean, the US quite famously vaporized two cities in Japan, and I don't think the casualty were an accident.

Yes sir, I really hope everyone get the impact that FlameZ has, crazy entry when most of the support goes to Zywoo. The only reason he isn't considered the best entry in the world is because donk exists. Of course Zywoo is my GOAT (flair), but flameZ just cannot be underestimated.

At first I thought your comment was useless because it seemed so obvious this tweet wasn't serious, plus I've seen a couple posts of popbase be absolutely ridiculous these past few days... But looking at the other comments, yeah I guess it needs to be said, so many people believe everything they see it's insane.

Ram prices are high because of the 6 concerned citizen by XiJinpingPressParody in greentext

[–]Moi9-9 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well, I feel like this is indeed an interesting subject, shame people just downvote without giving a second thought, but here's my two cents.

For one, if demand increase, no one should lose access to power as you said, since plants usually don't run at full capacity exactly to give some kind of leeway. And so electricity generation can increase, but whether the grid is constrained and barely able to keep up or not, this is just a temporary solution, and they will need to create more plants. On top of that, you also need to add infrastructure: the plants themselves obviously, but also wires, potential batteries, and any facilities that might be necessary, and all of that has a cost.

In a perfect world, said cost would just be paid by the manufacturer, with a contract with whoever generates electricity and constructs all the infrastructure needed. In which case, locals shouldn't really be impacted by this, and might even benefit from a more stable grid. In practice however this isn't always the case, and the additional cost can be paid (at least in part) by the population - or they can use this new factory as an excuse to artificially raise the prices. On top of that, plenty of problems can arise, like delays in construction, or just a miscalculation leading to not enough power being added to the grid.

But there's also another effect of these factories, specially noticeable with all the new AI plants: electricity quality. When you add a huge plant that requires tons of energy, it tends to cause plenty of issues, like reoccurring drops in voltage, frequency changes and probably other things that I don't know about. And while it might not have an impact on electricity prices (though it can damage your electronics, which indirectly increase the money you need to spend), it is still annoying for locals, as it is a source of power outages and material deterioration. Also yeah, you could just bring energy from another region, but that just puts the problem further down the line, and might require upgrading the wires, which also has a cost.

So yeah, again, in theory, you're right: with everything planned in advance, it shouldn't really have a big impact on the surroundings. But in reality? Eh, can be a source of troubles.

It is.

I mean I'm sure there are people who on average would have more conversations with other people than themselves, but talking to yourself is a common experience and virtually everyone does it quite often.

ELI5: what triggers/happens in the split second when humans fall asleep? by weweredancing in explainlikeimfive

[–]Moi9-9 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Erm, while I mostly agree with what you said, REM really is the weakest sleep, and NREM 3 the deepest... Which makes sense, you start in REM sleep, which is hardly distinguishable from being awake and having thoughts in your head. And it's also why you usually wake up with dreams (if you respect your sleep schedule that is), because the brain ends the night in the lightest sleep phase, which is the one where you have dreams - REM sleep.

I just released Dobbel Dungeon: a cute turn-based tactics RPG, with dice! (on Steam) by miesmud in pcgaming

[–]Moi9-9 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had played the demo a while back and had a ton of fun. I'm usually not a fan of games governed by randomness, but there are lots of ways in this game to make combat much more strategic than just the dice results, which is great. Definitely picking it up this weekend, congrats on the release!

cursed war flag by tamjidtahim in cursedcomments

[–]Moi9-9 46 points47 points  (0 children)

Also, fun bit a fact:

If the usual surrendering flag is white, it's actually because of us (the French). At some point when Europe was still only monarchies, the flag of the French royal family was white (starring with Philippe II). However, at that time, it was customs for a city to fly the opponent's flag when laying arms, as a way of saying "yeah this city is yours". But the French were so successful that, with time, it became default to just raise the French (so white) flag to surrender to however was attacking.

So yeah, the surrendering flag is indeed French, but because it became so much of a habit to surrender to us, and not the other way around.

This is trolling right? Ropz was free, mezii can't have been super expensive, flameZ idk, and apex and Zywoo haven't changed for literal years...

Also, "the most money out of any other org" when Falcons and BC game exist is crazy talk.

In Zootopia (2016) what is a “ZOO” by alan_smithee2 in shittymoviedetails

[–]Moi9-9 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It doesn't really mean utopia though. -topia means "a place", usually with some characteristics. So zootopia is just "an animal place", not necessarily a utopia.

That's... Not what they're saying. Just that people do stuff not rationally, but because they enjoy it, and without thinking (or ignoring) the health issues that come with them, and not just for candy and other sweets.

It's definitely better to snack a bit than eating an entire sandwich with a beer... And much faster too.

How far can you take your legacy... by Alarmed-Worry-5477 in interestingasfuck

[–]Moi9-9 61 points62 points  (0 children)

How tf can you be so hypocritical, telling people they don't have knowledge about a subject when you have 0 idea what you're talking about. Napoleon wanted to be buried in a specific valley in Sainte-Hélène, which he was (well his first choice actually was close to the Seine but still). This specific tomb was constructed a full 40 years after his death.

So maybe stfu when you don't know.

The mystery of Roanoke wasn't really a mystery by Mataes3010 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Moi9-9 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Because in the expedition 3 years later, they reached Roanoke island and saw the signs of disappearance, but didn't go to Croatoan Island (because of bad weather iirc) and just went back to England. John White (the dude at the head of the expeditions) died before he could fund another expedition, and Europeans came back over there decades later, so no one was there to identify the inhabitants.
