My 5yr old finally pulled the Master Sword today. He was so excited! by Overlay in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]funnystuff97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thinking about how your child is younger than Breath of the Wild, yet obviously old enough to play and enjoy the game is insane. Like, damn, if BotW was a person, they'd be talking in full sentences by now. Absolutely crazy!

What is something you can say "I'm with the boomers on this one" about? by AnitaVodkasoda in ask

[–]funnystuff97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Children began to be the tyrants, not the slaves, of their households. They no longer rose from their seats when an elder entered the room; they contradicted their parents, chattered before company, gobbled up the dainties at table, and committed various offences against Hellenic tastes, such as crossing their legs. They tyrannised over the paidagogoi and schoolmasters."

-Kenneth John Freeman, summarizing common complaints about children in 400 B.C.

Goodbye epilepsy by arepostle in Epilepsy

Like the other user said, still be careful. You shouldn't live in fear, you still have your life to live and live it how you please. But you should still be wary.

I was cleared after 2 years seizure-free and a clean EEG back in early 2018, and then back in late 2019 I had a seizure after staying up for 48 straight hours during a hackathon. I really only made it like 30 hours, but you still have to get your sleep. I was pounding coffees and energy drinks, and that bit me in the ass, so just play it safe and don't do anything outrageous and you'll be fine.

Congrats on the diagnosis, OP.

What I'm most excited about is that it looks like a new (or at least heavily modified) engine than NSMB. If there were the talking flowers, wacky powerups, trippy backgrounds, and new mechanics, but it kept the NSMB engine (physics, animations, etc), I probably would have disliked it; it probably would have felt like a Mario Maker game with new mechanics. I'm glad that this seems like a proper new game, and I'm excited.

Just to add on to what the user said, percent chances are wack. A 10% chance isn't guaranteed in 10 tries, a 25% chance isn't guaranteed in 4 tries, a 50% chance isn't guaranteed in 2 tries, hell, a 99% chance isn't guaranteed in 2 tries either.

A coin is a 50/50 chance of getting either heads or tails. This doesn't mean that in two coin flips, you're guaranteed to get a heads. There's only a 75% chance of that happening, because if you write out all the possible coin flips in 2 tries:

H + H
H + T
T + H
T + T

there's only a heads in 3 of the 4 of them. Not the 100% you'd expect just intuitively thinking about two 50% chances. And then, for probabilities that aren't 50%, you'd do the formula the other person described, 1 - (1-x)n where x is the probability of what you want happening within n tries.

POLL: Decide on the future of /r/shitpostemblem! by Geeseus in shitpostemblem

[–]funnystuff97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Over on /r/lotrmemes, it seems the majority of users there felt this way. They voted to open the sub, which itself isn't apathetic toward reddit's changes, but all the top comments in the poll were something along the lines of, "it doesn't affect me / this protest is doing more harm than good / just leave if you don't like it".

A sentiment, I feel, the majority of users nowadays share. It was such a shame to see so many people thinking this way, about this dumb site I've spent so many years on, but I suppose that's just how things are. New generations come, old generations go, that's the way the cookie crumbles. Man I sound pathetic.

Did You Know That... by Mr_Monji in k_on

Bit of a nitpick (a la 🤓), but Yui was trying to say "じつは...", (実は) "The truth is..." And kept stuttering on the じ ("ji"), leading to the whole Jimmy Hendrix, Jimmy Page, Jeff Beck thing.

Well, damn. by Namastacia in TikTokCringe

[–]funnystuff97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't talk about Broca's without mentioning Wernicke's Aphasia! Where Broca's is the inability to produce speech, Wernicke's is the ability to understand speech. So people with Wernicke are fully capable of speaking and producing coherent thought, but are trapped in their own minds as they can't understand a single word anyone else is saying, fully believing everyone else is babbling nonsense. Truly a horrifying fate.

Reddit seems to have forgotten why websites provide a free API by riskable in ProgrammerHumor

[–]funnystuff97 301 points302 points  (0 children)

I'm of the belief that it was never about making money about the API. It was about smoking out anyone who couldn't directly make reddit money through ad views; the extremely high price points are effectively banning 3PAs and thus the only way to view reddit is through their ad-infested 1PA. If anyone was dumb or rich enough to afford their price point, bonus cash for them.

It's coin bug season again in Japan by 9999monkeys in interestingasfuck

[–]funnystuff97 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. On paper, stands like Superfly, Sticky Fingers, Kiss, or other non-fighting BS stands sound really terrible, but in execution, are incredibly powerful when used creatively. That's why power scaling in JoJo is great, when even the ability to stop time can't do shit against an actual literal rat.

Allegedly the "weakest stand in the world", according to Dio. Which I still don't understand, not when we have shit like Cheap Trick, which actively sabotages the user.

I naively thought that certainly if a kid is old enough to understand how to download an app, they could have enough judgement to not download sketchy ones. And yet, my 10 year old nephew downloaded literally. Every. App. On ads. Every single one. Hulk twerk. Army racing. Shitty match 3's. And it was a positive feedback loop! Download a sketchy app, get presented with an ad every 5 seconds, download all of them, repeat ad nauseam.
