Right but the actual quantities are arbitrary. A metre is a fixed fraction of the speed of light in a vacuum, but it’s an arbitrary fraction chosen because it was convenient. We could just as well have chosen it to be half or twice as long. Same with the second. And the kilogram, etc.

wtf they’re like 50¢/lb here

Well you can’t believe them because they’re brainwashed /s

The death penalty is not an effective punishment, it is a security measure and should only be used if confinement is unsuccessful and the risk is sufficient, which should be a high bar.

I mean, that’s not a uniquely Muslim concept. I think that’s pretty universal, although we don’t have a word for the concept in English. It’s just considered unhygienic.

Unless you mean to say that when someone has used a utensil it is permanently tainted.

Strong sense of morality of autistic people stays winning

Damn I guess I have female nipples

I’ve discovered a fundamental flaw in this study. A few reasons people use carrots is that they are cheap, and they are discreet. Presumably this variant would be significantly more expensive. Also, nobody thinks you’re buying a regular to pleasure yourself, not the cashier, not your wife.

I wish that was the case where I live.

Most humans have 3 working types of colour receptors that roughly correspond to red, green, and blue. A small number of people have a fourth, letting them see colours we can’t even conceive of. My friend has this and it makes me jealous.

We can’t kill fascists because, gasp, they have families too!

I have been more often disappointed by sci-hub than satisfied, but maybe I just tend to look up more obscure or new research.

Most zoomers are adults. 96 to 2010 means only the youngest zoomers are minors. In 3 years, every zoomer will be a legal adult.

To a degree, paying off loans in full actually reduces your credit score. Credit score is purely a score of how juicy you are to lendors. Lendors don’t like people who pay off loans in full because that means you’re not paying them anymore.

To increase your credit score, take on more debt that you can pay off and pay it dutifully every month.

Good ol’ vermilingualization

Great comparison. Just as asking the woman to cover up is ineffective, so is trying to enforce pedestrian safety on the pedestrian side. Much more effective is to prevent the suspect/driver! Glad we came to an agreement.

Hard to enjoy life spread across the pavement like a crayon by a truck.

Believe it or not, some lifestyle choices have consequences external to the person making the decision

I still don’t know what labubus are and I’m thankful
