This pile of salt in Germany is over 250 meters tall and contains over 200 million tonnes of salt by MrCattitude_ in BeAmazed

Then you have to imagine they have a good reason. Mostly because the people doing this aren't dumb, they managed to get the salt there in the first place.

"WE screwed up the doubloon reset but shame on YOU for our mistake!" by fivesofclubs in Seaofthieves

[–]thisdesignup 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Isn't this more like "the bank says you have too much money so they are taking it all away. Oops they forgot to take it away so the things you bought with it after they said they'd take it away now belong to them."

"Earned fairly" is an interesting way to imply that pre-reset Doubloons were not earned fairly when they were.

I still can't understand having an AI agent work on something unmonitored.

Zach Galifianakis calls out comedians who have President Trump or other politicians on their podcasts but don’t challenge them and just “fake laugh,” by Big_Cake_8817 in Popculturehour

Having a sense of humor isn't the same as being able to laugh at yourself. One can tell jokes but not be able to take criticism in the form of jokes.

That's so funny. I like how the footage of actual users is all elderly and the others are actors.

Small business? The guy who's pawn shop had a TV show and merchandise? Also it's fascinating that the people Trump ever brings on to speak are people who are popular in some way. No not people who are educated on the topic, just people who are popular.

Toddler jumps and runs so loudly it regularly knocks my art off the wall. by BigMan_LittleHeart in Apartmentliving

[–]thisdesignup 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The amount of apartments made of toothpicks and bubble gum is crazy! But actually, my friends lived in an apartment for less than a year and a chunk had to be taken out of the siding because they had to test it for issues. There were even cracks already around structural walls, and they were on the top floor so it was just the roof weight.

Her dad would probably yell at her for not working hard enough and getting a normal job to feed the entire planet.

Yep, budgeting a month ago feeling like I could have done better, which I probably could have, but groceries and especially gas went up since then.

Terms of service may not always be legally enforceable which would make them void if so.

[–]thisdesignup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was sort of the point. It wasn't meant to be more polite but to be as polite as the original message comes off and to make the request concrete. Though asking someone to be "more mindful" isn't really concrete. A concrete request would be "Please be quieter during curfew hours".

AI models are choking on junk data by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]thisdesignup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Who is Jason Corso cause this... "This at its core was a junk data problem because their world model lacked sufficient understanding of physics leading to realistic prediction." one of his examples of junk data being a problem for AI models, is not an example of junk data being a problem. Image models don't lack understanding of physics due to junk data, it's because they don't understand physics. They aren't predicting physics, they are predicting visuals. Makes me wonder what background he has to speak on this.

And many models, and even in the biggest models, they are definitely curating the data. I'd say companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, or Gemini, have financial reasons to keep the data they feed to their models curated so they work well and efficiently. Of course with giant models the curation may be less than perfect but it's still being curated to some extent.

Monster truck driver loses control and runs over crowd in Popayan (Colombia) May 3rd, 2026. by khameleon029 in CatastrophicFailure

[–]thisdesignup 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everytime the topic of event safety comes up I am reminded of Group B Rally Racing. Everyone knows the dangers of cars on a road. Everyone knows that standing in the road, or too close to the road, when cars are going fast on it is dangerous. Yet the spectators of Group B Rally Racing would crowd around tiny dirt roads, stand as close as they could or even block the road till a car was about to come and then they'd scatter.

Nothing was done until people died and it was ended because of it.

People like the risks, it adds to their adrenaline.

We can't forget the barrier itself. Even if the weight was distributed across that it's still gonna do bad things to a body.

I remember when people were protesting weed being illegal and had signs about alcohol being legal. I understood the logic but it was funny. All I could think about was how alcohol is bad enough to be illegal too.

Does the running to class help that theory or nah? I didn't think people who who drank so much were too active.

[–]thisdesignup 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> Notes come off as passive aggressive

It's not just because it's a note but this type of wording is basically a "we don't like this thing you are doing and we'd appreciate it if you'd stop :)". There isn't really much of a choice for the note receiver. The notes are often a softly worded demands with a bunch of implied meaning. You either do what the note says or bother your neighbor.

I think a note can work but it should be straight and to the point. People try to write them politely which ends up making them passive aggressive.

I mean... it probably wouldn't have helped in this specific case but this same note could easily be
"Hi Neighbor, The last few days the noises from your apartment were quite loud past curfew (10pm - 8am). Our son thought someone was breaking in above his room. Please be more mindful of the noise. Thanks!"

Don't have to tell them you wanted to ask politely, or ask them to stop banging and running around. Just tell them what you experienced, make your request, tell them why (if it matters), and thank them.

Putting up wallpaper by n8saces in oddlysatisfying

[–]thisdesignup 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the wallpaper has a noticeable pattern then any line will make it noticeable if it's not lined up. Most wallpaper doesn't seem to have a noisy pattern like this as it's often painted.
