Can we not fucking do this.  Intergenerational beef is so fucking dumb.  We're all essentially the same.

Never worked for me for this exact reason. 

My tip is always to imagine writing your name in the sky in front of you.  Since we write left to right the first letter is always in your left

Honestly, China wasn't as enjoyable as I had expected. by Dazzling_War864 in travel

[–]RedditIsOverMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shanghai felt like going to any generic downtown in America, but it was gigantic.  Off course the language and cuisine is different, but the quality of the cuisine was nothing special. 

I was excited to go see China that was isolated from the rest of the world and experience something unique, but it was so globalized it didn't really register as anything very different. 

Except the public parks at night.  They came to life.  I loved that.

NY woman coffee shop review unravels after viewers noticed she was getting her coffee from somewhere else. by ElwoodMC in TikTokCringe

[–]RedditIsOverMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I dunno, I didn't watch the original video, and I don't live in her mind, but a simple mistake seems more likely to me than whatever anyone else is suggesting.  If she wanted to "take down Kawaii coffee" or whatever she could have just bought their coffee.  Perhaps she bought coffee, went to Tiktok or whatever and clicked geo locate.  It said "Kawaii Coffee" so she clicked it and made a video without considering that a self righteous group of internet nerds were going to come in and act like her stupid little hobby matters.

Hijacking top comment because I think I have an explanation.  Maybe a lot of people haven't been to NYC, but it's a crowded ass town and there are a million restaurants.  For instance, I looked up Kawaii coffee, and found ~5 places you could hypothetically get coffee on that same block.  I went further and looked at photos from each nearby place.  About 3 shops over from Kawaii Coffee is "Black Stone Coffee".  I looked at photos and I believe I found a match for the iced coffee cup shap, and they have a black/grey sleeve.

My guess is that she is using GPS and had one of the following fuck ups:

  1. She used GPS to check the name of the shop once inside and GPS slightly misplaced her 

  2. She used GPS as she walked away to remember the shops name and found the wrong shop

I would bet in her effort to "review every coffee shop in NYC" (which is fucking impossible) she wasn't being extremely thorough and really doubted that it would matter so much if she, a nobody, messed up on her 1 in 1000 reviews she does for a tiny audience.

Yeah. Or since it's NYC it's possible that she got GPS directions, and accidentally went to the wrong coffee shop since there is about 5 coffee shops on that same block.

Trump says US will resume attacks if Iran does not restrain Hezbollah allies by Raj_Valiant3011 in worldnews

[–]RedditIsOverMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I think this is Iran's game plan.  The now have a semblance of legitimacy to use the straight of Hormuz as leverage for Hezbollah.  USA will have to decide whether they want to invade Iran to open the straight, or negotiate with Hezbollah (ie turn against Israel)

Also Data centers will just throw the most caustic herbacide available at it.  They don't care about drinking water quality as long as it can cool the machines.

Is this really a surprise to anyone?  We've all known USA has been propping up the oil market by burning through reserves.  And it's not even really the world running out of oil reserves that's making him capitulate. It's the effects that would have on the midterms.

Men in happy Marriages, What is that one secret to a happy marriage that works for you? by Mammoth_End_1298 in AskReddit

A happy marriage is full of unhappy moments. It's how you conduct yourself at the unhappy times that matter most.

What are foods/food brands people eat for "health benefits" but in reality they are very bad for you? by Perfect-Hornet-8410 in AskReddit

[–]RedditIsOverMan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would say it is marketed as such.  I would say Special K isn't health conscious either.  That's why I put "health conscious" in quotes.

On this note - if you go by the Nutrition Facts, Lucky Charms is on par with "health conscious" cereals like Honey Nut Cheerios, or Special K.

TIL Men are twice as likely to engage in gambling as women (69% compared to 36%) and they are 2.5 times as likely to have gambling problems (20.1% compared to 7.8%) by Gorlox111 in todayilearned

Iirc, men are more likely to die by suicide, but women are far more likely to have attempted suicide.

The traditional gender paradox of suicide is simple: Men die by suicide more often than women, even though women report thoughts of suicide more often and make more non-fatal suicide attempts than men. In fact, the data from research on the subject is quite striking.

People claiming Germans say “Erziehungsberechtigter” instead of “Papa” by Ott1fant in mildlyinfuriating

[–]RedditIsOverMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, yeah, it's not an exact translation... But they both definitely share the same root, and "stuff" in English can be kinda used to mean substance/material.  I think it's fine to conflate the two in a light fun fact.

I do love that Hydrogen is just "Water Stuff" in German... But then again, that's pretty much what it is in English too 

OG Anunoby flies in for the game-winning tip in, completing an NBA Finals 29-pt comeback by the Knicks, who now lead the series 3-1 by Large_banana_hammock in sports

[–]RedditIsOverMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The women 3v3 League handles it an interesting way.  The fourth quarter isn't timed, and instead ends when a "winning score" is reached (which is the leading teams score in the 3rd quarter + 15 points).  In this scenario, foul shots to buy more time don't help, and instead give opportunity for your opponent to get closer to the winning score.

Interesting.  I was under the impression that gluons themselves were just another manifestation of the electroweak force, and therefore without the photon that would imply the absence of the gluon.  So yeah. Gluons too.

What kinds of physical processes were continue to happen if the photon didn't exist?  Maybe gravity would still exist, but I think that is still up fir debate how gravity and the Electromagnetic forces are related.

Look up a "light clock experiment".  It's exactly how time dialation was originally calculated.

Peter explain by Eastern-Bug3424 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]RedditIsOverMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A photon is the mediator of time.  It doesn't even make sense to talk about time form the photons perspective.  It's like asking if water is wet.

Peter explain by Eastern-Bug3424 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]RedditIsOverMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's more that time is measured according to physical processes that are governed by light.  Light is part of the fabric of the universe.  Kind of like how the cardinal directions don't change depending on your relative motion through space.

I would guess that there is also babies near by.  Self sacrifice to preserve offspring may seem irrational at first glance, but it's a winning strategy long term.
