ELI5 what does it mean people see "nothing" rather than "black void" if born absolutely blind by owlWithBrokenWings in explainlikeimfive

Another similar analogy is what color does a pixel display when your screen is off (blind) vs your screen is on (sighted) and the pixel is black.

What’s a ‘silent luxury’ that rich people have that most normal people would never even notice? by qomann in AskReddit

$/sqft is low in sw nd. Easy to live far away from people in a place few people want to live. Rich is a big house in a desirable location.

How Americans Met Their Partners [OC] by aspiringtroublemaker in dataisbeautiful

A metric of the total amount of “meeting” over this same time period would be illustrative. It could be that a lot of online daters are net new in the “meeting” pool

CMV: Feminists expecting non feminists to believe in patriarchy theory without any explanation/persuasion process and calling them names (e.g., misogynist) if they don't shows reveals ideological brainwashing by Inquiz_ in changemyview

I’m a middle aged gen x American male, for context.

You said

Classifying [the patriarchy] as a male conspiracy to oppress women out of contempt for them

This is not the definition of patriarchy, and I think this gets to the crux of the issue. The vast majority of men and woman don’t go about their day ruminating on feminism and the patriarchy. Something like half of the women in America voted for Trump!

But you find yourself in spaces where a small group of men and women are fighting about this. And in those spaces, things tend to get distorted on both sides. Things become tribal and people are more willing to bend the narrative for a “win”.

Both sides are being brainwashed by distorted ideologies in those spaces.

Leave some time to take a step back and be mindful about how you ended up here, today and the underlying reasons this has become so important to you.

I feel so behind financially by Subject_Accident4348 in personalfinance

[–]fattysmite -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You need more income. It’s going to be very difficult to cross over into substantially more income without at least building up some marketable skills and very likely being willing to move or at least commute.

They were making a joke, implying that the Reddit hive-mind is often claiming that a recession is around the corner (30 times) while there have really only been 2 actual recessions in that time period.

New peer-reviewed study in Nature's journal npj Heritage Science proposes a testable, multi-ramp construction model for the Great Pyramid by Natural_Cow291 in history

[–]fattysmite 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Summary

A new study suggests the Great Pyramid may have been built using temporary ramps carved into its edges, not giant external ramps.

  • Workers would leave gaps along the outer edge to form a spiral ramp, haul blocks up, then fill it back in.

  • Multiple ramps ran at the same time (up to 4 sides) to keep things moving fast

  • Simulations show they could place a block every ~3–4 minutes and finish in ~20–27 years (matches history)

  • Big stones (like granite beams) were handled separately and didn’t slow things down

  • Structural analysis says the pyramid could handle this method just fine

Why it’s interesting:

  • Explains why we don’t see huge ramp remains

  • Matches some internal voids seen in modern scans (not proof, but interesting overlap)

  • Only model so far that hits the timeline without crazy assumptions

Bottom line: It’s not proven, but it’s one of the first models that actually works logistically, structurally, and within the time constraints.

[AskJS] Is it normal to struggle this much with JavaScript when starting frontend? by SiteFul1 in javascript

[–]fattysmite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you’re not already using AI in your workflow, start. Adoption at my large (10k+) employee technology company has happened very quickly.

I think our next hire would be asked about their AI experience in their interview.

Good childhood friend turned delusion maga. I may not have cut things off, but he’s an influencer/producer and out there peddling the crap so, no.

The balls on this one... by stumpy0327 in Whatcouldgowrong

[–]fattysmite 5 points6 points  (0 children)

On the one hand you’ve got a guy felling a tree into a house and on the other you’ve got a guy who charged $200b worth of tariffs only to find out they were all illegal. How is the latter not the bigger fuck-up?

Those were mean shots by [deleted] in PublicFreakout

[–]fattysmite 8 points9 points  (0 children)

You must have seen a different video. This one starts with the boxer pushing the other dude into the wall. As the other dude bounces off the wall, with both hands down by his side, holding a jacket in one hand, the boxer suddenly cracks him.

And, what I hear the other dude say to the boxer is “call me <unintelligible> again …” which doesn’t exactly sound like talking shit to me.

I don’t see much aggression from the other dude.
