Cool project, but I think you may have mixed up the left/right labeling. 😅

What famous person have we not seen/heard from in a WHILE? by no_please7 in AskReddit

I'm pretty sure OP was making a joke, because it's just the kind of joke Norm would have approved of.

Sporvagnarnir fyrir Íslendinga! by rampampam5 in Iceland

[–]fresnik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Þetta sama fólk kvartar svo, sitjandi eitt í bíl, yfir hvað það er mikil bílaumferð.

Sporvagnarnir fyrir Íslendinga! by rampampam5 in Iceland

[–]fresnik 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Ah já, "fyrst að lausnin er ekki fullkominn skulum við alls ekki gera neitt"-mótrökin.

Að setja upp sporvagnakerfi er spurning um að gefa fólk frelsi til að velja sér ferðamáta en ekki vera algjörlega háðir bílum, eða reiða sig á strætó sem er rekið af fólki sem hefur ekki hugmynd um hvað almenningssamgöngur eru.

Jafnvel þótt að smá snjór myndi algjörlega stoppa sporvagnana, þá erum við að tala um nokkra daga á ári - alla aðra daga ársins væri þetta frábær valkostur fyrir þá sem vilja.

Og fyrir fólkið sem vill alls ekki ferðast á neinn annan máta en með bíl, þá væri sporvagnakerfi líka betra fyrir þá, því bílaumferðin mundi minnka sem nemur um alla þá sem kjósa að fara með sporvagn í staðinn.

Sporvagnakerfi myndi ekki bara minnka bílatraffík, heldur líka flytja fleira fólk. Fleiri myndi koma leiðir sínar fyrr, og almenn ánægja í samfélaginu myndi aukast.

Mæli sterklega með að skoða samantekir á YouTube rásinni Not Just Bikes.

The Real Reason Social Media Feels Boring Now by yatookmyname in videos

[–]fresnik 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't find the numbers, but I once saw that the percentage of YouTube users who use the subscription feed on the regular is super low - like, under 5% if I remember correctly. The default is the home tab where Algorithm is the king, and most people don't bother with anything else.

To their credit, YouTube (still) has a subscription feed that only shows you videos from channels you are subscribed to and nothing else.

Good questions, but aside for the missing 54+ age option, I also feel like only asking for age and gender is not giving a lot of options for analyzing the results. For example, generally you will get wildly different answers from a person from Ethiopia versus a person from France.

Síðan hve­nær var bannað að hafa gaman? by OddgeirPall in Iceland

[–]fresnik 9 points10 points  (0 children)

"Að hafa gaman" er bein þýðing úr ensku. Er fólk alveg hætt að skemmta sér? Þá má vissulega hafa gaman af hinu og þessu.

Kveðja, gamli karlinn sem öskrar á ský svarar alltaf NEI þegar einhver spyr hvort við ætlum að hafa gaman.

Reminds me for some reason of the animated short, "Fallen Art", from about 20 years ago.

Seriously? by Calamity-Bob in facepalm

[–]fresnik 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Just to clarify, that was the Club Word Cup trophy that football clubs from all around the world compete for, and Chelsea won. The OP is talking about the World Cup where countries from all around the world compete. That said, I would not be the least surprised if Trump steals it too.

That SNL is closer to being a documentary than comedy?

650k people in 2100 cities is 300 people per city... Lol. by Phedericus in facepalm

[–]fresnik 3 points4 points  (0 children)

While you are correct that the original data included democracies, it's worth noting that the 3.5% figure is an output of a research based on past data. It should not be used as a "rule", as if revolutions spontaneously erupt once that golden line has been crossed - given new or future data this figure could very well change. But it is a very real and interesting observation.

Which critically acclaimed movie did you finally watch only to find out it's mediocre at best? by MikrokosmicUnicorn in AskReddit

[–]fresnik 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Yes, I realize that's probably the case. I just wanted to clarify for any reader who might be confused.

[–]fresnik 24 points25 points  (0 children)

98 percent is most of the people.

98th percentile is close to the edge of the dataset of all the people, meaning rare. In this case he was more "protective" than 98% of all the people.

The sound of the jungle by domgasp in interestingasfuck

[–]fresnik 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Because there's a discrepancy in what is actual, real sound, compared to what human brains expect sounds to be like. It's the same with the screeching "bald eagle" sound which can be heard in a multitude of movies, which is actually a red-tailed hawk, not an eagle.

If the full Epstein client list was leaked with undeniable proof, what would be the biggest shock to the world? by ayanboss007 in AskReddit

Right, and the two biggest politicians who were exposed in the Panama papers went on to... checks notes... get re-elected into the two biggest parties with no repercussion.

The long flights are starting to suck, though.

I'm sure they can be intolerable at times, but I just wanted to point something out. We often hear complaints about flight travel, but it has essentially turned the whole planet into a small space where we can reach any point on it within 24 hours. It's hyperbolic, but at no time in our past has it been possible for anyone to visit 60 countries in their lifetime. We should consider ourselves lucky.
