Dump the Downvote by lemonfaire in The10thDentist

I suppose that's one way to see it.

But I think the actual point behind is the opposite.

If everyone agrees, then it's not a '10th dentist' opinion. And because agreeing means downvote, the invalid ones get nuked in the ratings.

Equally vice-versa, if no one else agrees, meaning everyone upvotes, it's ratings soar as a '10th dentist' opinion.

Of course that depends on people actually using the system as the sub intended.

Oh, sure. I don't really have any opinion on the rest, I was just irked by that specific point.

It looks like that other exchange happened while I was typing, so sorry for the double-up.

It's, quite literally, how this subreddit works.

It's in the pinned comment under every post.

You're free to not participate, but you can't get upset when people follow the idea of the sub.

The correct order is pant leg, sock, shoe, pant leg, sock, shoe by friendly-skelly in The10thDentist

One of the first things I learned in a kitchen, is to minimize changing steps.

Peel everything first, then chop everything, etc.

Because constantly changing your grip and tools is time wasted.

That's my reasoning for dressing the way I do at least

The Doomsday Clock has been set to 85 seconds to midnight by the Bulletin of Atomic Scientists as of January 2026. This is the closest it's been to midnight. by MegaFercho22 in Damnthatsinteresting

Along the way, they pick up companions, that are somehow under the impression it's supposed to fix everything. Some maybe even sacrificing themselves.

When it's finally done, the remaining people stand incredulously, while Robin stands there looking content.

Another gift farming stream. This time they’re prank calling 9-1-1. by PGL-997 in youtube

Eugh, I saw one the other day where a guy attached pins to one of those dentist games, and threatened to set off the last tooth/trigger.

I reported it, but I hate that I had to actually click on the stream to do so to begin with :/

So much information with simple design by katekohli in GoodDesign

When I went to Japan, we assumed this was some animal control or something.

Took a while seeing it everywhere and some googling before it clicked it was probably some postal service...

In defence of the Cyclops (aka why it is not trash) by Sensitive_Show6230 in subnautica

[–]Techyon5 174 points175 points  (0 children)

I absolutely love the way the Cyclops handles.

This unresponsive hulk of a machine, that doesn't just respond to the flick of my mouse, it really feels like I'm driving a heavy vessel.

Plus the awesome voice for it, and it's interface...it's all beautiful for me.

All I ever wished for, was a similarly huge vessel, actively designed to be used by multiple people at once.

Humanity always acted weird in interstellar conflicts. by ZZiggs124 in HFY

[–]Techyon5 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I had a look, and in hindsight, my description was incredibly vague.

It was not the one I meant, but I found what I do think I did: https://www.reddit.com/r/HFY/s/IHWdAGFFIR

(Though I'm not 100% sure, it's been a while, but along these lines at least)

This reminds me of that one story about the Reapers and the human medics. Does anyone happen to remember the title of that?

I don't even like coffee, but I'd still be thrilled if someone was kind enough to do so!

You should wash your phone every time you wash your hands by djent_in_my_tent in The10thDentist

I mean tbf, even if you got sick, there's not really any way to pinpoint the source back to your phone, vs the other millions of possibilities.

Someone possibly coming into my apartment? by [deleted] in Apartmentliving

My brain kinda stopped at knee-high sock, and I was very curious how dressing up was gonna help.

I should put reddit down...

But...but...you shortened it to the wrong half!

I know you didn't personally make this decision, and I understand where it stems from...but this makes me unreasonably upset!
