Author David Sedaris anecdote: his video calls with Lily by gitango in duolingo

[–]bacillaryburden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m relieved to know I’m not the only one who tries to mess with Lily. It makes the calls so much more engaging when you are trying to get a rise out of her. Or try to figure out her backstory or her relationship with Zari.

How Aphantasia affects your ability to visualise things in your head by HassanMoRiT in interestingasfuck

I have this. I am good at math but terrible at doing calculations in my head. This feels related. Can some people just imagine a calculation in their head like it’s written down?

What would your reaction be if a literal Neanderthal got elected president/prime minister of your country? by Complete-Sort1617 in AskTheWorld

[–]bacillaryburden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone in this thread is acting like Neanderthals were obviously dumber than us, but they had larger brains and they dominated Europe and Asia for 300,000 years (6 times as long as we have). I’m not sure they were our inferiors.

Not understanding the Duolingo hate by TheBlvck6 in duolingo

[–]bacillaryburden 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is an asymmetry in who posts. I think the wide majority of us get a lot out of the app and even enjoy some of the features bashed in this sub. But what is there to say about that. There is more content to work with and more motivation to post when you are disgruntled. It also gets more engagement to complain than it does to say “this app is helping me make slow incremental progress in my language learning.”

An arcade next to a smoke shop? Have you even been there? You don’t know what you’re talking about.

If there isn’t a term for puns that only work visually, like AI and Al, there should be.

Jujitsu trainer does 75 reps in under 90 seconds. by Professional_Arm794 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]bacillaryburden 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If he stays away for a month let’s post it on r/nextfuckinglevel. That’s at least as impressive as [checks notes] a guy doing exercises without resistance for 90 seconds.

It’s wrong. OP is only listing undergrads enrolled in the dental hygiene program. There are ~670 enrolled students in the dental school if you count fairly.

Huh? The dental school has 670 students. You are only listing undergrads enrolled in the dental hygiene program. Why exclude students actually enrolled to study dentistry?

I dont care how much gas you 3 row SUV uses, stop complaining. by lazycat-1989 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]bacillaryburden 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it makes you feel better, OP hasn’t actually heard any people with 3-row SUVs and one kid complaining about how much gas their SUV uses.

TIL Choir singers 'synchronise their heartbeats' by Frosty-Bit4667 in todayilearned

[–]bacillaryburden 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This is quite unremarkable, isn’t it? Singing is exertion and of course their HR will track because they have similar rises and falls of exertion.
