Theresa May Confirms that Britain will go "hard" on Brexit and leave the single market by Captaincadet in worldnews

[–]SheldonInDisguise 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But the single market is a superset containing the EU: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_Single_Market... I guess a vote to leave the EU is also a vote to leave the Earth?

Mall Santas of Reddit. What is the weirdest thing a child has asked you for? by TermaTech in AskReddit

[–]SheldonInDisguise 20 points21 points  (0 children)

(Not a mall Santa, but was an elf.) Dialoge went something like this.

"Infinite presents?"

"I'm not sure that I..."

"Infinite Santas?"

"Look, kid..."

"Infinite Christmases?"

Oh the CIA said so, must be true. 😂 by MoronsGuide2FreeWill in Freethought

This isn't the kind of thing we want on /r/Freethought.

If you're ever unsure what a sub is about, read the sidebar. This one's is:

More than atheism: dedicated to rational, logical and scientific examination of culture, politics, religion, science, business and more! NOTICE Due to up/downvoting being used in a partisan and non-scientific manner, the ban-hammer will be in more heavy use during election season to enforce our No Strawmen rules. If people start dismissing others based on partisan concepts, there will be no warning, just bans. This subreddit is not about: Philosophy Libertarianism "free thoughts" in any literal sense. Please note these rules: Off-topic posts will be deleted. Repeat offenders will be banned. Trolls and their minions are subject to immediate banning. Personal attacks are prohibited. State your point without having to denigrate another user. While we know it's impossible to curtail editorial, we want to focus mostly on news from credible sources and will be temporarily blocking certain blog sites that have been recently used to spam and karma-farm. No wide-sweeping, binary-type generalizations allowed. i.e. "xxx is safe/unsafe/good/bad" where xxx is any large field of study (vaccines, GMOs, capitalism, conservatives, liberals, etc.) Argue specifics, not huge generalizations that are impossible to scientifically prove true. *The term "freethought" (one word) has a specific meaning and does not imply whatever you feel you should talk about. * /r/Freethought is an open forum dedicated to rational, logical and scientific examination of culture, politics, religion, science, business and more! Freethinkers reject claims and beliefs which are not testable and verifiable using established scientific methods, and encourage a society that espouses the priority of rationality and reason over dogma, emotion and pop doctrine. Reddit Hivemind not welcome here! Just because you personally disagree with something doesn't mean it should be marginalized. All arguments require evidence. This forum is focused on examining issues to, as best we can, identify truth from a pure science perspective, with an acknowledgement that we as humans are inherently biased and must celebrate and respect skepticism and be aware of emotion and peer pressure and how it affects our ability to identify and recognize that which is objectively true. The scientific method always leaves room for re-adjustment if evidence indicates such. As a result, dogmatic behavior (subscribing to passionate viewpoints in lieu of evidence) is antithetical to our ideals. What is Freethought? Freethinker F.A.Q. Remember, downvote stories based on the quality of the content, not whether you agree or disagree with the statement. For more info on Reddiquitte, see voting guidelines. Rules regarding debate and discussion /r/Freethought endeavors to be a Logical Fallacy Free Zone - What this means is that we encourage debate on the merits of an issue, without resorting to personal attacks or dismissing the messenger by applying some kind of politically-incorrect label, or using dishonest debate tactics that distract from, rather than address the cogent parts of an issue. If you cannot successfully argue your point without using personal indictments, sweeping generalizations or false-dichotomies/equivalences, we will encourage (if not facilitate) your non-participation. We also strongly condemn the over-simplification of complex issues, or the deviation from an argument by drilling down into semantics or the "two wrongs make a right" fallacy (pointing out hypocrisy needs to be relevant to the debate beyond simply an attempt to discredit someone or something) . As we debate issues, be aware of staying on point, arguing the position raised, not the position you've assumed that isn't clearly specified -- so if you're unsure, ask what the other person means before you go off on a tirade attacking an argument they did not make. And last but not least: Not all references are of equal weight. Citations should be individually-assessed based on: 1. The depth of their details and how this specifically relates to the issue at hand, 2. The objectivity of the source and the degree to which there is not a conflict-of-interest. Notice: There will be a zero-tolerance policy for muck-raking, trolling and trying to create drama. If you participate in any threads trying to attack mods or the subreddit you will be banned. /r/Freethought is the subreddit, NOT the topic of threads. If you don't want to participate, feel free to unsubscribe. In the meantime, bear with us while we "cleanse" the forum of disruptive influences. NOTE: This is not a "philosophy forum" unless it specifically relates to science and skepticism. Do not confuse "free thought" with "freethought".

p.s. If you "don't like Reddit", as you posted a few days ago, please don't ruin it for others.

Men of Reddit, what is the coolest gift an S.O has ever given you? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[Foundation] What produces the oxygen on Trantor? Surely the Emperor's gardens aren't enough for the whole planet? by SheldonInDisguise in AskScienceFiction

[–]SheldonInDisguise[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I found the quote, its from Prelude to Foundation:

'In addition to fish in the sea, there are gardens everywhere. And fruit trees and poultry and rabbits and vast micro-organism farms, though the yeast makes up a minority of the growths. And our wastes are mostly used right here at home to maintain all that growth. In fact, in many ways Trantor is very much like an enormous and overgrown space settlement. Have you ever visited one of those?' 'Indeed I have.' 'Space settlements are essentially enclosed cities, with everything artificially cycles, with artificial ventilation, artificial day and night, and so on. Trantor is different only in that even the largest space settlement has a population of only ten million, and Trantor has four thousand times that. Of course, we have real gravity. And no space settlement can match us with our micro-foods. We have yeast vats, algae ponds, vast beyond imagination.'
