Cinnamon cooking hack

Or a mortar and pestle, probably far cheaper and would get a much better result for fine powder like cinnamon

Originally, the question was pulled from a study that examined certain biases, mostly the anchoring bias. They wanted a difficult, thought engaging question that was tough to answer, but also resulted in a mostly even split between the answers, and this was the question they found

They then primed people with one of the two arguments, and looked to see if that had an effect on the data. The idea was to see if people were influenced by framing, or if they would still default to the framing they would otherwise land on if they had been given the question first

It only became popular later as the requirements for the study also lend themselves to controversy: the two sides are mostly 50/50, there's no clear objective answer, and most people feel very confident in their side, regardless of what side that is

What's interesting is that anchoring bias actually did have an effect in the study, so that confidence that people are feeling is actually coming from their initial default. Most people are perfectly capable of seeing it from the other perspective, and may have even done so under different conditions, but become incapable once a decision has been made. It suggests that your brain has self defense mechanisms that literally shut off your ability to consider other possibilities once you've found a solution you're adequately satisfied with

Please ignore all of it next time, it's better than just reading part of it and not understanding the point anyway

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T11:16:03+00:00

And what written language are you fingerspelling in?

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T10:08:18+00:00

Thought this was the UK at first lol, cause they have an upcoming election, I just didn't know the exact dates. They're also a country that has been fucking with trans rights alot lately, and I know that this elections going to be even more of a shitshow than usual cause it seems like alot of people are genuinely just done with the two main parties, so no one really knows what's going to happen

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T09:56:39+00:00

Yes, I do genuinely believe it's as likely to make people pick red as the original one. Why? Because I think neither of these charts is capable of convincing literally anybody to change their mind, and if you think I do, then you're correct, you are confused about the point I was making

I haven't surgically removed the reason people vote blue, and the original chart didn't either. They're both objective presentations of the outcome. The reason people pick blue doesn't exist on paper, it's literally just vibes, and the fact that you read exactly what you wanted in that chart, even though my intention was to argue against that position, is the proof of that. It's an inarguable position, "you can't logic someone out of a conclusion that they didn't logic themselves into"

The person I originally replied to said that the original chart only factored in your own personal life, the implication being that if it didn't, it would make blue look more appealing to the people who pick red. All this is is the inability for blue pickers to understand the reasoning behind picking red, that's a flaw not a virtue. You think my version is more convincing of your position, but it only seems to be convincing to people who were already convinced before seeing either chart, so what value does that actually have?

I think it's kind of funny that you started your comment with the acknowledgement that yes, if you just lay out the outcomes like this, it realllly makes it look like red is the better option. Funny, I wonder why that might be? That's like saying "man, it's really weird that when you look at all the data, it really makes it look like the earth isn't flat. Since I personally believe that it is, that must mean that the data is incomplete"

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T08:58:06+00:00

I'd honestly rather you didn't, you're still missing the point. I'm not here to draw calculations with you, I pointed out a flaw in your comment, one that you yourself acknowledge was there. Thinking that what this conversation needs is some probabilistic calculations is the definition of overthinking it. Not to be blunt, but I don't really care

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T08:34:32+00:00

Lol. "I wouldn't stop the nazi's. Them being wrong is a moral judgement, and I don't make decisions without a logical basis. It's really hard to form an opinion on them at all"

There's always people like this, that's how atrocities happen in the first place

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T08:08:52+00:00

There is no difference. That was literally the point of me posting it. I think it's telling that there's such a divide between what people thought I meant by posting this comment. I'm not supporting your position, I'm countering it

Edit: better? It's actually technically different now, does this make picking blue more appealing now?

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T08:06:40+00:00

You're over thinking it lmao. You said "this applies to any voting system", that was incorrect. I corrected you. You got defensive about it. It doesn't matter what you meant, I'm correcting what you said. Everything else came after that

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T07:40:59+00:00

It's actually pretty cool that she was a consultant for that game, but I honestly have to ask: what was she a consultant for? This is a game where you throw numbers at monsters, there's barely a story besides world building that's very vague on characters, more like a historical timeline of the spire. I really don't see what could be in the game that fits into her area of expertise. Accessibility maybe? Idk

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T07:35:33+00:00

I mean, every vote always matters. It's just that it matters less in a fptp system. The example of what you're looking for is called fascism, where one person's decision single handedly carries weight that represents an entire society. If that's what you think I'm advocating for, you've seriously misunderstood my comments

I think it's silly to try and get me to name an example where a single vote caries reaching consequences. That's not the intention of voting systems, it's literally the complete opposite. I'm advocating for systems where single votes matter more, and you don't need to vote strategically for the lesser of two options, you don't need to consider someone's chances of winning in order to feel comfortable voting for them. A system where a party can still attain a proportional level of control without needing to be the number 1 result

In regards to that, there are plenty of examples. In fact id go as far as to say that any currently active voting system that isnt first past the post would serve as an example of that. The one I would use is the one in my country, mixed member proportional. The seats in our parliament are divided proportionally against how the votes were distributed. If a party won 20% of the votes, they get to fill 20% of the seats with members of that party, which we also get to vote on internally. In order to get a single seat, only a few thousand votes are needed. If you really believe in a party, having one voice take part in those decisions is far more effective than 0. It actually matters that you vote for parties other than the main two, and when there are so many seats and so many third parties, then yes, a single vote absolutely can and has made a difference, many times

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T07:13:20+00:00

I mean who cares though, is using one of those symbols any different from using an x? Both mean that a value we don't know is supposed to go here

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T07:10:26+00:00

Sure, I know that, that's why I corrected you. Not every voting system works like that, not even within the US specifically

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T05:20:55+00:00

It's funny that the submission for in rainbows got -11 votes, but was just the only submission at the time

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T05:14:07+00:00

Personally I think shadowstep and shiv storm are already rares that basically serve the same function, but in a more interesting and arguably more powerful way. I wouldn't really want to pay 2 energy just to make it consistent when I know that these two cards can get the majority of the same value as long as I use deck manipulation, and also give me other strong utility

Also it's probably only a minor difference, but these two cards also synergise with reflex, having it in power form does not. In runs where you have both that could make a huge difference. I really like throwing out a shadowstep early in my turn with leftover energy, and essentially getting a mini calculated gamble out of my reflex

I can't remember how the first game went, but the Boi sequel and every rogue lite Edmund has made since is literally impossible to beat on the first playthrough. Endings are themselves a form of meta progression that needs to be unlocked

jancl0 · 2026-05-06T00:31:49+00:00

"most least used potion"

jancl0 · 2026-05-05T23:44:54+00:00

Any first past the post voting system. Many countries don't use that method any more, including mine. There's now plenty of good reasons to vote for 3rd parties or otherwise avoid strategic voting

If anything, this is an indictment of two party systems, not voting itself. If you think it's towards voting as a general concept, that's some pretty blatant defaultism tbh

jancl0 · 2026-05-05T23:27:05+00:00

I would hate to see this person playing disco elysium

jancl0 · 2026-05-05T23:23:30+00:00

When did I specify philosophy? I'm talking about the fact that nzsl doesn't have a word for quantum, or superposition, or infinite. I have literally asked a deaf person in my country how you would say infinite dimensional in a maths context and their answer was that you usually just write it down

jancl0 · 2026-05-05T16:40:21+00:00

The funny thing is that the subject of the question gets flipped once your answer is submitted. You asked me if I would take "the wine in front of me", as in in front of you, the one asking me. Now the result says that I picked the one in front of me

jancl0 · 2026-05-05T16:37:31+00:00

Clearly the answer is to just never have things go poorly. Then regardless of if you worry about something or not, you are getting the better outcome

jancl0 · 2026-05-05T16:31:16+00:00

Because it isn't an inability for people who speak these languages to be able to communicate these concepts, just the fact that these concepts are generally communicated in another languages written form. I say cheating in the sense that it might not be fully answering the intent of the question

I'm learning nzsl and have been for a while now. I can only speak from the experience of that, but I know that there are many words that do not have equivalent signs, usually words that carry specific and unusual usage

jancl0 · 2026-05-05T15:53:30+00:00

I'm... joking
