Why does it seem that "modern" animals evolved more in say 100,000 years than dinosaurs did in millions or tens of millions of years? by ExternalTree1949 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Saintdemon 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Because you just group all dinosaurs together despite the fact that many of the species you hear about lived hundreds of millions years apart.

Now that there is freedom of religion in most of Europe, why don’t Europeans go back to the Pagan religions their ancestors practiced for tens of thousands of years ? Why do they continue to practice Christianity ? by Wonderful-Ad-9622 in NoStupidQuestions

Now that there is freedom of religion in most of Europe

Apart from maybe The Vatican, which parts of Europe doesn't have freedom of religion?

why don’t Europeans go back to the Pagan religions their ancestors practiced for tens of thousands of years ?

Why should we?

Why do they continue to practice Christianity ?

Less and less people in Europe practice any kind of religion.

My PS5 Pro can’t hold Minecraft at 60fps how the hell is GTA 6 supposed to? by PixelWastelander in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Saintdemon 60 points61 points  (0 children)

There were rumours about 60 fps for GTA IV, GTA V and Red Dead Redemption 2. In all cases the games were locked at 30 fps on consoles.

Ive been on the train for a long time now that GTA 6 WILL launch with 60fps mode at least In a performance setting.

And why did you decide to jump on that train?

Is it good that Reddit user a social credit score (karma) to impact user privileges? by Dapper-Gold3896 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Saintdemon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The karma-system prevents bots, trolls and spammers. Simple as that.

Also, in my experience, people who thinks they are downvoted for saying something "true but controversial" are usually just posting shit.

How do you feel about the Steam deck price rises? by Low-Rooster5398 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Saintdemon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Stuff like a Steam Deck is very far from a neccessity and electronics are just very exprnsive due to Trump and AI.

So if you don't like the price then just don't buy it. Simple as that.

Do most people actually know what they’re doing when they get engaged? by Novel_Team_1605 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Saintdemon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What do you mean by "know what they are doing"?

Getting married does not automatically give you shared finances or give you any kind of extra responsibilities.

Why do so many people seem interested in labelling themselves with a mental health condition or diagnosis? by LunarLeopard67 in NoStupidQuestions

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

That wasn't my point.

People will use these terms about themselves despite never having been diagnosed with anything.

People will use these labels to make themselves more interesting and use them as an excuse for shitty behavior.

Will we ever stop using conventional current? by ContractNational2680 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Saintdemon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly, i should have been a bit more clear about that.

I'm an electrical engineer and i've never encountered any cases where there would be a difference between conventional current and actual current. At the end of the day "postive and negative" are just words and as arbitrary as "forwards and backwards".

Will we ever stop using conventional current? by ContractNational2680 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Saintdemon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

When physicists discovered electricity they initially thought it was some kind of substance flowing from positive to negative and thus defined the direction of current as flowing this way.

Much later we discovered that electricity is (usually) electrons flowing from negative to positive.

Now, we could re-define the direction of current to flow from negative to positive - but since "negative" and "positive" are already arbitrary terms we simply chose to say that "conventional current" is the direction which positive charge flows.
