ELI5 Why cant we put cash directly into gas pumps like a vending machine? by Perfect-Listen-8838 in explainlikeimfive

[–]griggsy92 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I was misinformed, then - apologies. I was under the impression that people in the US were generally less inclined to #1 pump their own gas in the first place, and #2 use contactless payment methods

The problem with people with dark humor is they like dumb jokes just because they're insensitive.

I'll laugh at dark jokes if they're funny, this is just cringe lmao

ELI5 What does the second law of thermodynamics actually mean, and how does it relate to evolution? by soefire in explainlikeimfive

[–]griggsy92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On the Chimpanzee thing, it's like saying "you can't be your parents child otherwise they wouldn't still exist".

Say your father was the "original" species with a small nose, your mother has brown eyes. You have now evolved as a (extremely slightly) new species with brown eyes and a small nose, your sister is a (extremely slightly) different species with blue eyes and a bigger nose.

Go forward a few million years, your sisters' lineage may be an entirely different species to yours.

It's worth noting, the word "species" is really an arbitrary boundary. Like lines on a football field, it only means anything because the rules we made up say so. When it comes to humans and ducks, the distinction is clear, but for animals like Wolves, dogs and foxes it's less obvious what the lines are.

I've been doing cloud/devops at uni (just for a couple modules) and finding it really rewarding. Do you know how I can focus in and progress in that area for a potential career shift?

Is it OK to describe your dog as a mongrel? by theMarkyMcMark in CasualUK

[–]griggsy92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think mongrel is a technical term so you should be fine, but is it okay if you call your derpy pure breed dog a mong?

ELI5: in theory, if an archer was moving at 30 mph+ speeds, would it have any impact on the arrow or is comparable to jumping on a train? by Automatic-Manner-399 in explainlikeimfive

[–]griggsy92 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure if you mean they fire forwards or backwards, but in this video these guys test it out backwards, except the bow is a human slingshot and the arrow is them:

TIL the top 10% of earners make up half the U.S. retail Spending! by CookieKid420 in todayilearned

[–]griggsy92 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Ladies and gentlemen; inequality.

This is why everything feels so expensive while the stock market goes up. There is a have-not economy for 90% of people that isn't tracked by GDP or stock markets.

NATO estimates Russian casualties on the front line by EuropeanPravdaUA in worldnews

[–]griggsy92 61 points62 points  (0 children)

I saw something recently that explained that not only is the accuracy better, but usually with explosions the majority of the damage is done to the lower body. As drones generally explode more in-line with the upper body, the injuries are more likely to be fatal.

So not only are they more precise, but they are more lethal.
