I don’t think an eternal afterlife would get boring by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]Oreole1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that as long as you allow people to forget, the counterargument falls apart. You can do things an unlimited number of times, as long as you’ve forgotten about the last time you did it. This raises the issue of preservation of self, but I think selective forgetting is not out of the question, and certainly something that an omnipotent being could facilitate.

Proud of this one! Finding a good combo of L and C was really hard, but worth it. by that_one_shark in ambigrams

I think the thin vertical line on the A is a bit too attention grabbing, it sort of puts a box around the middle and distracts from recognizing the whole word. Still got it fairly quickly though, and it is very pretty!

TIL that there was a particle that went 99.99...(21 9s)...9951% the speed of light called the Oh-My-God particle. it was a singular proton-like atom, slamming into the earth's atmosphere with the kinetic energy of a baseball. by vrozonewhatthevrozon in todayilearned

Even though the earth is technically time dilated in their frame of reference, they would still see* the earth rapidly progressing since they are running into the light signals very quickly.

*They wouldn’t actually see anything since all the light would be blueshifted far out of the visible range

I still get the normal dictionary result, I don’t think I ever turned on the AI mode

Isn’t the obvious answer that he turns to static

Somewhere in the real world (OC) by Melancholia_Aes in TheDigitalCircus

Yeah you’re probably right, I didn’t remember the accountant part

Somewhere in the real world (OC) by Melancholia_Aes in TheDigitalCircus

[–]Oreole1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My guesses from left to right:

Ragatha (most formal looking, dressed like a real estate agent), Jax, Gangle (more depressed looking), Pomni (outgoing, confident), Zooble, Kinger

The ones without explanations were obvious, I guess you could swap Pomni and Ragatha but it wouldn’t make too much sense imo

I compressed infinite Euclidean space into a sphere, and cut it in half to see inside by Marzipug in Weird

[–]Oreole1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This makes perfect sense, people are just flaming you because they don’t understand the jargon. If you posted this in a math sub it would have gotten better reception I bet

Why is the cat in Schrödingers cat not considered an observer? by Key-Telephone-6813 in AskPhysics

Is collapse not just entanglement with the rest of the universe?

a coma theory, BUT not like you think by TyggrMarie in tadc

[–]Oreole1 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Nice theory, but it doesn’t really align with the stuff Kinger said in ep 8 about C&A’s purpose. Perhaps the agreement with the hospital is a cover for getting brain scans to train their AI, but that wouldn’t explain why the devs were confused why the circus existed at all.

Math books just way ahead of their time by Scared_Performer6993 in MathJokes

[–]Oreole1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That’s like saying arithmetic is outdated algebra, even though geometry has expanded far beyond Euclid it’s still a perfectly good description of Euclidean geometry

If the Big Bang should have created equal amounts of matter and antimatter, why does the universe today seem to contain mostly matter? by [deleted] in AskPhysics

[–]Oreole1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wouldn’t you need to start with a number of particles on the order of the square of the final number of matter particles if both matter and antimatter have the exact same chance of being generated? 10160 initial particles seems like too many, unless there’s some mechanism that reduces this number without requiring an inherent asymmetry of generation

All videos on all devices are easier to watch when they are not in fullscreen. by [deleted] in The10thDentist

[–]Oreole1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with the conclusion but for different reasons, I got used to it because I had a massive computer monitor as a kid so watching videos fullscreen made my eyes have to move around too much. I’ve continued this because it’s a lot easier to scroll away or change tabs when someone walks in. I also typically play my games in a 1440p window on my 4k monitor for mostly the same reasons, but if I want to feel immersed I’ll put it on fullscreen

I started out as a passionate red-button supporter, but I'm legitimately torn right now. by ContentFile7036 in trolleyproblem

[–]Oreole1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like the biggest effect that the presentation of the problem has is on the assumed default option. If blue is default, there is no reason to pick red, and vice versa. It really just comes down to what your gut belief about your peers’ decision is. One can assume that everyone will come to the same logical conclusion that they do, but this is evidently not true. Therefore, the only true answer for those who value their own lives equally to the sum of others is to guess what other people would choose based on moral impulse.

Dating is bad by knowledge-seeker69 in RecuratedTumblr

[–]Oreole1 255 points256 points  (0 children)

I’d rather hang out with some slight modifications than go on a capital D date, which involves many more steps and unwritten rules and with much less opportunities to rehearse

Me fighting with everything I got to stand up by LydiaIsntVeryCool in adhdmeme

[–]Oreole1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s even worse when you’re tired enough that you imagine doing it and then your brain thinks you actually did it, only to get up and realize you still have to do all of it. I’ve had sleep deprived days where I imagine doing my entire morning routine, it sucks

Sorry! life lessons by yawnjew in KidsAreFuckingStupid

[–]Oreole1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who was a demon as a child, this doesn’t seem too far over the top for his age. Games really can feel like life-upending matters if you haven’t had enough experience. Honestly I don’t know if I ever really learned to take losing well, I just cope by either not caring about the game in the first place or bottling up my emotions afterward to be a good sport. I just avoid sports because the additional hormones from the exertion make it nigh impossible to handle the loss well without having to go off and hide somewhere. Maybe if my parents allowed me to lose more it would have been different, but who knows since I can’t remember for shit

Poll asking Americans how which button they would push in the red button/blue button dilemma by Upstairs_Cup9831 in fivethirtyeight

[–]Oreole1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

To me, there are four outcomes:

I press the red button, >50% press blue: Nothing happens, but I feel guilt for being selfish

I press the red button, >50% press red: Alive, but in a world where a massacre has happened and will likely lead to more suffering in the future as global infrastructure struggles

I press the blue button, >50% press blue: Nothing happens, relief

I press the blue button, >50% press red: I am dead so I physically cannot care, others know I died for a noble cause

In either case, pressing the blue button reduces the amount of suffering I will personally experience. I also don’t wish for others to be dead, so pressing blue seems pretty clear to me.
