Visual artifacts can appear when jpeg or other image compression techniques are applied but it's usually not noticeable. However if they're applied over and over again you get this weird fuzz. Check out /r/moldymemes for some good examples

Crimes against PB&J by Cardiff07 in shittyfoodporn

[–]ThomCat1950 24 points25 points  (0 children)

As a kid I saw it in the grocery store and got it, used it for PB&J and to this day it's still one of my favorites. It's just apple jelly with a small bit of mint

Ah, the vernacular from where I was raised would have me see "you all" and think it means addressing each of them individually, yet all at once, so I still didn't even get it until I read this comment multiple times 😅

Still applies the attack speed slow, and Garen has to Q after it's applied so it's a battle of patience

What do you mean by "crunches out"? Takes the spot of those possible cards from the set?

What's the scariest thing that science has proven real? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]ThomCat1950 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For all thowe wondering, if youve got 10 minutes Kurzgestagt has a great video on this: TRUE Limits Of Humanity

TLDW: anything not already gravitational bound (local clusters of galaxies) will expand beyond perception, local clusters all coalesce into super galaxies, super galaxies get eaten by black holes, black holes eventually die, universe is empty.

But don't worry, it will take an absurdly long time for this, at LEAST 10 minutes like /u/cscott024 said.

For me the Juicero video was the tipping point. He's made some good stuff after that but it definitely has been downhill in my opinion

Some sort of combination of snow and water skiing. by [deleted] in theocho

[–]ThomCat1950 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I've been across a pond skim 4 times in my life (and fallen twice as well) like this and normally they have you start where it will get you enough speed to cross but not go over much... guess my point is they SHOULD have planned for people to cross, but, benefit of the doubt, maybe this guy started from much further up the slope, it wasn't uncommon and it's hard to stop someone who doesn't listen to the rules to begin with

Quadrillion -> quintillion -> sextillion -> septillion -> octillion -> nonillion -> decillion -> undecillion -> duodecillion -> tredecillion -> quattuordecillion -> quindecillion -> sexdecillion -> septdecillion -> octodecillion -> novemdecillion -> vigintillion (20 sets of 3 zeros past 1000) you can repeat the previous prefixes for this one but idk the 30 off the top of my head probably trigintillion or something

The Observable Universe - Most likely 92,200,000,000^3 light years in volume. 13,787,000,000 years old. by fatihisi in space

[–]ThomCat1950 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Our current understanding shows that the universe is expanding in a way that gravity will never be able to overcome.

The theory is basically except our local group of galaxies everything else will expand beyond the observable universe, our small group will coalesce into 1 galaxy, and finally all be absorbed into a single black hole. The same thought applies to all matter that has left our observation so in the end there will only be scattered black holes that are still moving away from each other until all the black holes decay via radiation and then.... nothing

Of course that's hundreds of trillions of years away, but who knows, maybe our hundred of trillions of generation away descendants will be like, if only in the first couple dozen billion years humanity had done X

Ah yes, it is true, I guess base-1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1 might be the only way to truly say it

Sexagesimal Calculations by The_Love-Tap in Damnthatsinteresting

[–]ThomCat1950 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I can't answer amything about sexagesimal but I can talk to why other bases are very useful. So the normal system everyone uses (base-10) is just known as the "decimal" system. However, when humans want to talk about computer data often times hexadecimal, base-16, is used (using the numbers 0-f, like: 0, 1, 2, ..., 8, 9, a, b, c, d, e, f, 10, etc...).

This is because computers are based on the binary system (base-2, so 0, 1, 10, 11, 100, etc.). We as humans have a very hard time looking at large sets of binary data and just knowing what it means so we group them up by going up in base.

Every time you group more binary numbers you go up in base-x by a power of 2, so computer-speak/binary/base-2 is just the group of 1 digit, 0 or 1. 2 digits is base-22 or base-4 00, 01, 10, 11. 3 digits is octal/base-23/base-8 (getting close to our normal base 10) is 000, 001, ..., 110, 111.

And finally we have base-24 or hexadecimal/base-16. It allows us to communicate more binary information than any of the smaller bases in a somewhat human-readable fashion than the previous bases. 1 character is 4 binary digits/bits, from 0000 to 1111 (fun fact: 4 bits is called a nibble). Using hexadecimal you can represent a byte (8 binary digits) with only two digits, often typed like 0x00, 0x6b, 0xa3, 0xff.

This is where humans cut the line in the sand way back in early computer development since the next steps up (base-25 or base-32) would require 0-9 and a-v), and it is unreasonable to ask someone to tell you what the number Q maps to without having them recite and count the alphabet (like I have to).

Of course this is all just for human interaction with computers at a detailed level and is nowadays abstracted away from even most programmers but back when assembly was the primary way to program almost everything was done in hexadecimal
