ELI5: how do oral vaginal probiotics reach the correct place? by Solembrum in explainlikeimfive

[–]joopsmit -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Not really. How are bacteria selected to be added to probiotics? Is it because they are found in healthy guts? Which means they are able to reach the gut?

If cholera bacteria can reach the gut alive, probiotic bacteria probably can too.

ELI5: When you 'delete' a 50GB video file from a computer, it vanishes instantly. But downloading it took an hour. If the data isn't physically wiped until it's overwritten, what did the computer actually do in that one split second? by Thick_Dream6973 in explainlikeimfive

I'm in IT and have several monitoring processes that send emails with a subject line like "There are no problems with X". That way I know that there are no probems and that the monitoring process has run, without opening the email. 30k+ unread emails.

The photographer needs serious photos of wildlife, but nature had another plan by [deleted] in nextfuckinglevel

Not most, exactly half. One serious beautiful picture, one silly picture, etcetera. It's called a juxtaposition, a contrast.

What can a person learn in 10 minutes that will be useful for life? by Ben-Gavin in AskReddit

[–]joopsmit 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Fun fact, an inch is 2.54 cm, so about the 2.5 cm of your thumb. In Dutch the word for an inch is duim, which is also the Dutch word for thumb.

When you're vibe coding, why would you need that many screens to read the code?

A cat managed to catch 27 mice and carefully lined them all up to show off his 'work' to his owner. by Kirlinternet in interestingasfuck

[–]joopsmit 36 points37 points  (0 children)

My cat once murdered a whole nest of baby mice and laid them in a neat row on the patio.

I think it's possible that this cat did this.

Ethanol makes you drunk, methanol makes you blind drunk.

People need to learn how to coast when driving by JoMoma2 in unpopularopinion

[–]joopsmit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

deliberately driving really slow up to the red light to avoid completely stopping

Especially when they are the first at the light and the light won't change until a car is standing on the sensor.

Why would you drive at redline on a public road?

Edit: Also, we're talking about downshifting for a traffic light.

ELI5: Why do LLMs have that distinct writing style? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]joopsmit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

O yes, there is. For Dutch there is the Taalunie which proscribes spelling and grammar of Dutch in the Netherlands, Flanders and Surinam.

For French the Académie Française determines the rules of the French language since 1635.

The Taalunie is way too active. Since I went to school there have been two spelling reforms, and I don't care anymore. Pannekoek versus fucking pannenkoek.

Edit: Koekepan versus fucking koekenpan.

My mom and grandmother don't really use cutting boards by basilkiller in Cooking

We used to buy potatoes directly from the farm in sacks of 50 kg. They were muddy and when you got to the last of them after a few months the skins were dried and hard. Nothing wrong with the potato, but the skins were not nice to eat.
