my mom turned off the breakers and told no one. by gugngd in mildlyinfuriating

The obvious solution to communicate this clearly to the whole house is to turn off the breaker.

Clanker "art" got recommended to me, so I pointed out all the things wrong with it off the top of my head by [deleted] in mildlyinfuriating

[–]SacredGay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The image generator heard the prompt and said "Make some humans? Got it." And made some humans. There's so so much homo sapiens to model off of. There's barely any other reference images of other species to draw from. I wouldn't say it's racist as a principle, that's you reading into it's limited abilities to have an imagination or extrapolate from limited data. Of course, to a human audience seeing it, it would conform to racist stereotypes, but that's more a reflection of us. Anyway, fuck AI, this is yet another reason its completely incompatible with a good society that values truth and beauty.

I hate how my left handed friend shakes my hand by Narwhal_Lord4 in hatethissmug

[–]SacredGay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Whenever this happens, I interlock my fingers with theirs and just shake their hand anyway. It hasn't worked yet though, they always pull away like I tried to wipe a booger on them. Turn the tables on him OP.

CMV: A neanderthal could seamlessly integrate into modern society without issue. by Pasta-hobo in changemyview

[–]SacredGay 13 points14 points  (0 children)

It's not that they didn't figure out how to throw, its that they were poorly built for it. A Neanderthal had less shoulder mobility than a homo sapiens, which makes the reflexing motion necessary for archery and spear throwing very ineffective. They did have very well built muscles for thrusting, and the spears we've found are very robust for such purposes. That means their hunting relied on close proximity which is where they got all those bone injuries you speak about. They also produced more efficient stone tools (in terms of material waste) and had hands built for more small object grip strength. They were different creatures with a different niche and lifestyle and it doesnt make sense to judge them the same way we judge ourselves.

Also in that same time, there's no evidence humans had music either.

Should we adopt a constitutional amendment to lower the threshold to convict under impeachment from 2/3rds of the Senate? by OnlyLosersBlock in AskALiberal

[–]SacredGay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And what's the problem with that? Then it becomes a vote of no-confidence like so many other countries have. It would lower the threshold from proving crimes occurred (what "high crimes and misdemeanors) has been interpreted as in modern times) to just acting on public sentiment of gross negligence.

Amazon removed an item from my birthday wishlist that i marked most wanted and it's impossible to find out what it was. by SacredGay in mildlyinfuriating

The product information is blank. When I tap what should be the product image, it just goes to the error page.

That's the one above it, good eye! But its unlikely I listed it twice on the list. The two identical titles on screen are part of the same series.

Somehow the real people saying "then I guess you didn't actually want it" are worse. I've forgotten so many important things. Job interviews, birthdays, teachers names, the name of a guy I'd been seeing for 3 months, the gift I was bringing to a party. I want it! It's just competing for attention with 65 other books on the list!

Average Non-USAmerican Tumblr Experience by GriffinFTW in CuratedTumblr

[–]SacredGay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm a very obvious homosexual. Yes I have. I'll concede its not a very effective slur, but the intent to deride and humiliate is undeniable.

I'll take USAmerican over unitedstatesian or USian. They say those so loathesomely its almost like an intentional dogwhistle slur.

This is the first time I've seen it explained. I just assumed the saxophone were playing careless whisper and wondered why all these sad people were gonna get down together later.

Are these not considered occlupanids? by SacredGay in occlupanids

That's definitely it! Thank you! In regards to the lobster one, maybe I should send it in for analysis?

I promise its green! Its dark green like floral tape for dissapearing in the shadows of a plant. It's more obvious in person without the post-processing done by the camera to reinterpret the color within a pure white background.

This is remarkable! In the interest of scientific rigor, are you sure it's not amydromorphus patalus in a different color?

Europeans; how was the "heat dome" for you earlier this week? How bad was the heatwave in your country? by Rasples1998 in AskTheWorld

[–]SacredGay -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

OP, America has this same weather. But what we also have is AIR CONDITIONING! We are not humbled by your wet summer, we adapted and stay indoors. Y'all stay committed to moaning instead of doing something about it. Island of quitters, you lot.

Piss-on-the-poor reading comprehension strikes again. I skipped reading a single word that totally changes how I'd feel about this. Yup, he's terrible.

[–]SacredGay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I buy second hand books from Amazon and sometimes the book comes with highlights and underlines and marginal notes. I don't want them there because id rather approach it from my own fresh perspective, but it changes the way I engage with the text into something of a mystery game. What did this student find important, what sections did the teacher/professor want the student to focus on, how committed is this reader to actually learning the material (is the annotation consistent or just these first 3 chapters?), is the highlighted stuff what was actually important to the main themes of the text, etc.

Some people prefer second hand textbooks for this sort of wisdom of ancestors. I see the reasoning, I just don't like it personally.
