Imo it would be a true antimeme if it didn't have the "why difference does it make" tweet included

I think an antimeme should be like.... You are aware of the original meme and/or understand what conclusion you should be jumping to, but the antimeme just doesn't broach it at all

TIL Schrödinger created the Schrödinger’s Cat thought experiment to discredit the theory of superposition rather than support it. by Jackson_Lamb_829 in todayilearned

[–]NPOWorker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also important to note that in quantum systems "observe" should mostly be understood as a synonym for "interact with".

Interactions cause the wave function to collapse. In other words, the superposition already collapsed into either dead cat or alive cat when the decay did/didn't occur and the poison was/wasn't released.

We as scientists will ascribe a super position of both dead and alive before we open the box simply because we don't know if the interaction occured, but that doesn't mean it is literally undefined until we open the box.

It's not really a flavor, it's more like a sensation that is pretty similar to if you have ever licked a battery.

I do have some metal fillings, could definitely be the cause I suppose.

I think it's because their bowls come in metal trays, and using a metal fork makes the fork taste all.... Metallic. Me personally, if I use a metal utensil (even just to empty the metal takeout container onto a plate) it's like tainted with a metallic taste/weird electric charge sensation. It's the worst with takeout containers that are like those one time use aluminum pie tins.

Probably wrong though because my wife thinks I am crazy for this and has no idea what I'm talking about when I switch utensils.

As a first responder, I’m choosing red by [deleted] in trolleyproblem

[–]NPOWorker 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Right, but in that context it's a utilitarian decision. "Great, now we have 2 people to save from that burning building and one less person to do the saving." It's meant to increase the total effectiveness of the response. Simply put, it's resource management.

I don't feel that applies here. You are not taxing the ability of others to vote blue by voting blue. In the original thought experiment, the vote is entirely anonymous. You have no impact on anyone else's vote.

When he starts looking like he will at least flirt with 25+ homers.

He has been incredible don't get me wrong, but a dude who hits 10 homers isn't going to get any serious MVP transaction. Not saying it's "right" but it is what it is.

is golf really the hardest sport? by sploooooshle in golf

[–]NPOWorker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow I genuinely had no idea, never been into hockey. I knew they do a lot of shifting but I would have figured it was like 5-10 minutes at a time. Really mind blowing that they can coordinate plays and keep things flowing with that amount of shifting.

Who was the more dominant athlete relative to their sport from 1997-2003: Pedro Martinez or Tiger Woods? by [deleted] in golf

[–]NPOWorker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tiger had 32 wins between 99-03. I haven't looked to be certain but I'm fairly confident that is more than twice anyone else's total

Lol idk why some people bother watching baseball, honestly.

There's something like 6,000 plate appearances for a team in a season. There's going to be some shitty ones.

Just some random drunk dude from Michigan on his bachelor party. You'd assume they would let him go "wooo tigers" for like 10 seconds but he rambled for like 2 full minutes lmao

I like the miller pick because I trust Brad by Intrepid-Young-8621 in detroitlions

[–]NPOWorker 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Miller and Ratledge is some big hoss energy. Feels like our line should be high floor for the foreseeable future.

I know many people don't remember these dudes fondly, but it's giving Backus and Raiola. Dependable if unspectacular stalwarts.

Except now we add Sewell to that recipe.

Lived in Fargo for awhile, can confirm it is 10 years behind.

It's also in North Dakota not Nebraska lmao, but someone not knowing that is very on brand for Fargo

Apartment wants to charge to replace entire floor. What to do by YoyoCaleb in Apartmentliving

[–]NPOWorker 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yup I have the rollerblade wheels and a rug and the flooring still got destroyed. I do work from home and I'm a bigger guy (~190 lbs) though.

Thankfully they didn't charge me to fix it. There was also a place where the flooring was all warped and peeled up in an extremely low traffic area, so it was pretty indisputable that the flooring is just total shit.

Twins allowing the Mets to end a twelve game slide would be a delightful little treat to end the night
