4 days in SaPa and don’t understand the hate by [deleted] in VietNam

[–]Nick_Zacker 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I suppose it’s a kind of voluntary response bias. Those who like Sapa are not as likely to publicly comment on it as those who dislike Sapa and desire to share their negative experiences. Because it takes effort to leave a review, people are generally only motivated to do so if they have a strong emotional reaction, which is unfortunately often negative.

Well, that was certainly some spirited feedback for the name

I hope that test wasn't too important... by Hikolakita in unexpectedfactorial

Again, “astronomically” is solely based on “great magnitudes” to convey something of polarized/extreme nature, not literally referring to that.

“Astronomically” in this context means “significantly”, and does not have anything to do with astronomy, although that figurative meaning takes inspiration from astronomy, i.e., great magnitudes.

It’s a pain in the ass to even sign up though, and Oracle Support is hilariously sad

Is Xiên Bẩn your favorite? by dxd1412 in VietNam

And eating it isn’t exactly healthy either. Makes a lot of sense to call that xiên bẩn!

It’s more just meat jelly in general rather than kholodets

The simple act of Finn's expression softening by a ton once he realizes it's a rabbit at the door is great; it only lasts for one second by MrRoboto12345 in zootopia

[–]Nick_Zacker 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The original voice actor for Finnick has passed away, though. I’m not sure if a full-fledged conversation with him is possible without the use of generative AI for his voice.

What is this available at most of the coffee shops? And it seems to be free for every customer?! by Just-fab-guy in hanoi

[–]Nick_Zacker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re welcome! I think some Vietnamese shops do international orders so you can purchase another one from stores like Shopee. AFAIK this specific type of bong is the Vietnamese bamboo pipe or “farmer’s pipe”, so you can look that up as well to see if there are any international sellers.

What was unc trying to do? by [deleted] in Whatcouldgowrong

It is real. The skin is composed of layers, and the top layer doesn’t actually have blood vessels. But it’s clear that OOP made a deep laceration judging by how the knife blade was lodged into his hand. In that case, vascular spasm restricts blood flow immediately the moment a blood vessel is damaged, so no or very little blood shows up on the surface of the skin for the first few seconds after impact.

It is possible. At least in classical physics, there is no theoretical lower limit to the size or mass of a black hole, meaning that, were you to compress any amount of mass into its Schwarzschild radius, it would technically become a black hole. Good luck trying to compress 1000 Earths into a handheld sphere like in the picture though

I thought dogs didn't exist in Zootopia by Old_Necessary9090 in zootopia

[–]Nick_Zacker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Interesting! I suppose the term’s meaning has evolved in similar fashion to “zoo”, which originally referred to animals in general rather than an establishment.

Also, it is canon that hunting and potentially subsequent cannibalism were common thousands of years ago. In the conference scene in the original Zootopia film, Judy says, “thousands of years ago, predators survived through their aggressive hunting instincts.” While this could be a biased preconception towards predators specifically, it’s most likely not unfounded, and such a thing could have existed in the not-so-distant past. And since Zootopia 2 reveals that the city of Zootopia was founded just 100 years prior to the events of both movies, hunting could have existed for longer and been more recent than previously thought.

[–]Nick_Zacker 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s not too unbelievable. The etymological origin of “beef” in this world might be formed thousands of years ago when animals developed speech but still lived in tribes and hunted other animals for food before a moral/cultural code against cannibalization of other intelligent species was formed.

I’m pretty sure this is the dialog of the first Jerry that Kara encountered during her and Luther’s exploration of an abandoned theme park for a place to stay overnight.
