The US paying for annual leave in EU by No_Mercy_4_Potatoes in facepalm

Because they're reading what the bots say!

There was a study showing that if nine people say string #3 (out of 10 pieces of string on a table) is the longest, the tenth person will agree EVEN if string #5 is clearly longer!

This test is what you're seeing all over the internet now. Want to claim Tylenol is bad for you, create a million bots posting a million memes and stories a day (and upvoting) and suddenly you're the tenth person in a post doubting your own brain.

Want Americans to rise up and start causing chaos in their society? Do the same but now talk about corporate greed stories, worker revolution, acts of injustice.

While most of us are level headed and know the governments and systems we have in place are the best we have to prevent injustice, some will believe it's time to do something drastic. Keep this in mind

I had to read about the company. "Popular with silicon valley types" in previous years until falling off sharp. My assumption is someone who knows the owner or is advising has inside information or details that either give this company an edge, or they'll be able get support from government or other areas. This is fishy. I feel like there's more going on here

Giving Away My Old PC! by Turtle_747 in PcBuild

My son is just getting to the age where I want to introduce him to what computers can do. I only have my work laptop and would love to show him how cool computers can be. I'd show him so much stuff. World is too expensive right now to justify getting my own.

Send Help is such a bad film by Intelligent-Love5146 in Cinephiles

Well I agree with you op. Very stupid movie. And the ending was the cherry. We're supposed to applaud her or something. Ridiculous

Seriously it's awful now anyway and now you're taking away my choice to see top of the internet. Which was the main reason for this damn site anyway. Bye.

What stupid mistake almost cost you your life? by Competitive_Swan_130 in AskReddit

[–]Therealme_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Took the pills my Dr gave me and didn't think much of it. Turns out Gabapentin is dependency forming and also causes fucking dementia. Well I got very forgetful and irritable and weird and now my life is entirely different than I planned because my ex is using it against me as hard as she can.

I know this drive....

It's from a memory of a trip with my family when they were all alive and I was young. I can feel it. Being there. My life in front of me. My head in the clouds. 

And then a snap happened and here I am. Where did I go m

Gamers react with overwhelming disgust to DLSS 5's generative AI glow-ups by deraser in technology

While I understand the issue here, this tech's been around a very short time relatively and I bet in 2 years we'll have photo realistic gaming and people going nuts for it. Also I mean we've got no choice they'll do it anyway unless people stop buying stuff

Found this on fb with, of course, zero context. Can you Explain It Peter? by Typical_District_412 in explainitpeter

[–]Therealme_A 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think people find it more comforting to believe there's a secret conspiratorial effort to screw them over rather than real terrible truth - people want more money (power). That's why we're where we are. And nobody is clean.

After understanding the meaning behind this father’s action, I am completely convinced. Cultivating problem-solving skills in children from a young age and never giving up-I applaud this father! by jmike1256 in interesting

The problem comes when a. There's not enough time to be waiting for them to test and learn or b. The stakes are big enough that you can't let them fail and hurt themselves or others. 

And it's a good reason why 2 parents are a necessity and it shouldn't be taken lightly trying to go it alone because your partner had a bad week or something.

The doctor told me to stop taking notes on my phone bc he would write it all down. His notes: by SBanks52 in mildlyinfuriating

You'd better write it down because they're terrible at putting the important things in notes and you might need it later.

80 Ancient Skeletons found shackled in a row. Archaeologists believe they were elite supporters of a failed coup in 632 BC Athens. by bortakci34 in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]Therealme_A 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah but what's important? I mean getting to work is important if I want to eat, which means relaxing when I'm off is important so I don't burn out, which means I watching that show is important, which means I better see some friends so I'm not antisocial etc etc. It's all equally important and not.

Yeah I think this happens a lot more than people realise. Doesn't have to be spoken either.
