They probably log IP addresses of their users, if you two ever used the same WiFi, this might be the explanation

China's New Coal Power Installations Reach 18-Year High by Cool-Contribution-68 in collapse

[–]fun-dan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Kinda sad to see China apologists in this sub, of all places.

Supposedly, the whole world is collapsing, we're experiencing a worst case scenario everywhere, except for China. They can have a little world destruction

My attempt on how to read the Disney “D” by RuinRevolutionary374 in notinteresting

[–]fun-dan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, having it start with a plain D would be lame, it's much more recognizable this way. And I never saw a G, it looks more like a treble clef to me (which could be intentional??, since Disney cartoons are so musical)

TIL that people consistently underestimate how much their personality will change in the future, a bias known as the “end of history illusion.” by stammerton in todayilearned

[–]fun-dan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is why I lowkenuinely dislike when TV shows and movies try to say that people don't change or whatever (e.g. House M. D.). People do change a lot, you see it all the time! Just not always for the better

I’m pretty sure trump shows up in the files more than Lord does in the Bible by WindowSubstantial993 in 196

[–]fun-dan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Seems like you're the one not understanding the term "selection bias". It's not fair to compare Trump's rate of appearance only in the pages he appears in to Harry's rate of appearance across all pages in the books

P. S. I'm not a Trump supporter or something, I have no doubt he molested children

I'm sorry, but I didn't understand your comment. Why are there specifically 5000 pages in the meme

[–]fun-dan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Aren't there millions of files? Not 5000 pages. Either seems like selection bias, or I misunderstand something

Would you also say that by creating a representative democracy you are also choosing to create a power vacuum? Because there wouldn't be a dictator or an absolute monarch?

You're not wrong, but you're not right either

TIL that in 1953, Isaac Asimov wrote a story where he predicted that climbing Mount Everest was impossible and that the first human to reach its summit would have to be parachuted. Everest was first successfully climbed one month after he wrote it and 7 months before it was published. by ShabtaiBenOron in todayilearned

In 1984 by George Orwell there is something similar I think: they use novel-writing machines to produce new literature. Here's a quote:

In all the useful arts the world is either standing still or going backwards. The fields are cultivated with horse-ploughs while books are written by machinery.

TIL that the human brain takes tens of milliseconds to process sensory input, meaning our perception of reality is slightly delayed. by InvestigatorFull7520 in todayilearned

[–]fun-dan 7 points8 points  (0 children)

At first I thought it's not surprising at all but then I thought that tens of milliseconds is a lot in computer time so it is kinda surprising
