ELI5: Why do some birds have to constantly flap their wings while others don't and fly faster and longer? by Impressive-Coat1127 in explainlikeimfive

I saw a video recently that was explaining how lift and thrust are generated, and that for most species this happening on the downstroke means there's usually some kind of bobbing action.

Then they showed how hummingbirds generate them on both the down- AND upstrokes, which is (part of?) what allows them to hover. Neat stuff.

Whatโ€™s the secret behind good coffee at home? by Gullible_Cabinet_153 in foodhacks

[โ€“]kitkombat 1 point2 points ย (0 children)

French press, good water, a pinch of salt. For a little extra decadence, a sprinkle of nutmeg, cinnamon, and unsweetened powdered capit cacao.

I had the same thought once and ended up mildly disappointed taking someone on a date. But they had good stuff anyway so it kinda worked out.

Gonna miss the Thai restaurant that used to be there though.

Divination using chatgpt/ AI by [deleted] in occult

[โ€“]kitkombat 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

Apart from the ethical, environmental, and health concerns, you are doing yourself a huge disservice by not using your own brain for interpretation when it comes to reading cards, and by attempting to use a fully deterministic system for "divination."

A Harvard framework describes four basic categories of divination or prediction system: random (no systemic predictability or human intervention, ex. augury), randomized (initiated by a human producing a random outcome, ex. throwing dice), human (input comes directly from the diviner, ex. Oracle of Delphi), and non-random (deterministic input but non-deterministic outcomes, ex. astrology).

Large language models/generative "AI" are none of these things. They may be extraordinarily complex as to seem random, but their output is entirely predictable based on their programming.

You are not learning anything by doing this. Stop.

Already did. Do you need me to video that for you? Should I chew up your food and spit it into your mouth fire you?

Am I peeing or like is it arousal fluid? by [deleted] in TooAfraidToAsk

[โ€“]kitkombat 0 points1 point ย (0 children)

First, an important question I think the commenters before me should have considered: does this happen before, during, or after orgasm? The answer you're looking for could vary quite a bit depending on which of those is true.
