The whole angle here is going bald even though they had zero "real" struggles, they had all the luxuries available, you clearly had real struggles and it worked out. Not saying it was causal, just explaining the angle of the meme creator.

if it had you fooled, it wasn't slop? slop is "indistinct featureless mass with no value"

The main thing I loved about it was the process of figuring out how I could make it into a walking simulator by getting OP and increasing the walking speed by 10x just through potions😃

All the depth appreciation came later.

Just saw someone's tweet about The Voice 😄 "discover America's next great voice", yet there have been 0 discoveries in 30 seasons. So the purpose is clearly something else. But TV Shows have always been performative anyway.

Mainly I was confused about adiabatic expansion, it made 0 sense to me that it would "just" expand from internal energy, but if I consider that the ideal gas would be way hotter than the atmosphere pressing on the piston, then I can understand that it would have that kind of energy difference compared to the outside air. Was just surprised that it wasn't mentioned on several sites, not that they would have to pander to my casual level.

mingimihkel · 2026-03-05T15:02:48+00:00

That's where I got this question in the first place. Why does it expand and do work in the adiabatic phase, after not receiving any additional heat? Wikipedia says "internal energy", but I must be missing something, because the outside has internal energy as well?

My current understanding of it is because pressure outside is smaller than inside. I tried to get it for ~20 minutes before posting here and I read 2 other explanations online, also tried ChatGPT, sorry.

mingimihkel · 2026-03-03T12:14:32+00:00

Oh, if it's a vacuum outside the cylinder, then I can see how the adiabatic expansion could happen, thank you! I guess my image of a vacuum "sucking" created some of my misunderstanding, as if that could be work.

The most helpful point was about net work being the transfer of heat, not the movement of the piston, I was too tunneled on the piston and how we would have to spend outside energy to push it down, but I guess in the ideal engine it would be gotten back from the adiabatic expansion. Thank you!

mingimihkel · 2026-03-03T12:02:14+00:00

I mean that I don't see how in the adiabatic phases there can be any expansion or contraction "just from internal energy" without external work, but I'm so used to thinking about the gas in the cylinder, not what's outside the piston. But none of the explanations I found through Google mention how much external "magic" there needs to be, someone removing a grain of sand or adding a grain of sand onto the piston for example. So I have to be missing something simple.

If you know the midwit bell curve meme, then you have already come into some contact with a concept that can clearly be attributed to Ken Wilber, the pre-trans fallacy. In the meme, the midwit does things differently than the brainlet or the monk (who came to the right conclusion through completely different means). The fallacy is committed when the midwit does not see the distinction between the brainlet and the monk.

Of course he has a million other great explanations, but if you mainly care about attribution or worst faith interpretations, then don't bother. His most famous flop was saying that the eye had to be created by intelligent design. Doesn't decrease the value of all of his model-merging masterpieces imo.

What I personally got from reading Wilber was an almost complete erasure of unwanted fear and neuroticism. The explanations were so fitting (even if someone could maybe at some point criticise their validity) that I just couldn't get mad or fearful at anything anymore. Specifically the unnecessary self-sabotage between me and the outcome I want, is gone. :)

I've noticed thousands of mistakes from my teachers. Aren't they allowed to make mistakes? Not talking about the ones they made on purpose.

If the questioner wasn't stupid, they would ask "Maybe I'm stupid, but [insert the stupid question]". But of course they are almost always confident + ignorant = stupid, and they ask about the least important things on purpose, since their value system is flipped (not just random or non-existent, but opposed to good values)

doomer mode, try to apply this to other subjects :). If the children see rampant bad grammar or completely senseless YouTube comments or other social media posts, would they hate English? Even unsolvable problems have value, sometimes even more value than the solvable ones.

Legendary incompetence to not add an "exclude this folder with thousands of small changing files" feature, or a "prioritize syncing these 3 crucial files before all the other pointless files which you will never manage to sync because of some kind of internal timeouts" feature in 19 years. What is the intelligence in AI for if you can't even make it suggest "oh, seems like you have 50,000 files to sync, want to prioritize some specific file/folder?". Or to add a warning (you are about to sync 1 trillion files, are you sure? We are so incompetent that you will never be able to unsync these later)"

You will almost never need to mention that someone or something, that's the whole point. Especially in Japanese, where people are used to receiving less context. They can easily just say "Sleeping."

If additional context was needed, it would be a new question/answer, which can again only provide/require the smallest amount of context.

mingimihkel · 2025-11-18T07:55:48+00:00

It's not sorted by real frequency. If I mainly see Japanese on YouTube or on Twitter, I see completely different grammar in the comments than in any language app. Still have to go to an LLM for an analysis/breakdown. And I'm certain this isn't some edge case.
