Density of connections matters more than size…
Shrinking and getting wrinkled creates more surface area, like how a shoreline will keep increasing in length the more accurate you measure it. A straight line is as short as it can be, but as you adust for smaller and smaller differences it will keep increasing until you’re measuring every grain of sand and your measurement is 10,000x the straight line.
It’s weird people constantly say mods have magic powers…
And I almost never see lemvotes mentioned.
Admins have a much easier time, that’s why all the communities that ban people for down voting are moderated by admins of tiny instances.
Im pretty sure if they’re not an admin of an instance (there’s a lot of small ones out there) the mods are just using lemvotes.
It’s a global conspiracy, ever notice how most of the people smart enough to just use pennies just coincidentally die in house fires?
The fuse lobby is out to get us brother!
Oh, look at the bougie person using different items for different ratings…
Just jam a penny in there and you’ll always be good.
And red/green color blindness isn’t less colors, you get more shades of brown.
Which sounds shitty, but invaluable for hunters.
My dad legitimately didn’t know what other people saw for “red” but he could spot a deer in the middle of the woods like it was neon yellow.
I believe the downside to tetracheomacy is less rods because the extra cones are taking up more space. Which I think translates to really bad night vision.
Because sometimes it says “refurbished by Amazon”…
Would you assume that means Amazon is the seller? I did, and I was wrong.
If it’s sold by Amazon, Amazon will eat the cost on most stuff and allow returns for pretty much anything
If it’s “fulfilled by Amazon” they can’t just eat the cost. Either the seller or buyer has to pay.
It can be hard to tell which is which before buying.
I once thought “Amazon refurbished” was a program by Amazon…
Turns out they just throw that label on random companies that refurbished on their own.
Bought a cellphone from one, they sent me the wrong phone model, and I paid for unlocked and they sent me one locked to a different carrier, then said that carrier was the most popular (it’s not) and they assumed it was what I wanted.
When I was complaining about that, they told me all I had to do was put it in a UPS drop box, explicitly told me I didn’t have to go to a store.
According to them, they never got the return.
I talked to Amazon, and their customer service just flat out lied and told me they could see the return was in transit.
Weeks later Amazon tried to charge me for the phone, and I had to do a charge back. Because apparently following the sellers instructions to put it in a drop off, meant I couldn’t prove I mailed it.
I have no idea if I was sent the wrong phone intentionally as a scam where they were always going to say they didn’t get the return, but it definitely felt like it by the end of it
We needed to be able to observe the passage of time before clocks… Even before we had names for units of time or time itself
Humans are just over evolved pattern recognition machines, it shouldn’t be surprising we still recognize some while on autopilot.
Yeshiva is just “school”…
The problem here is it was a group Chabad-Lubavitch “Meshichists”
https://blogs.timesofisrael.com/the-chabad-terrorists-within/
Literally one of the most extreme of the extremists…
They believe their last leader (currently dead) is going to return from the dead any second now and reveal themselves as the Messiah.
Like when Ben-Gvir came to America, this was the only American Jewish group willing to meet with him.
They’re absolutely pieces of shit, but they are not the same as just any random Jewish group, not even representative of the Hasidic population.
Their more a cult than a branch of Judaism at the moment, but the entire movement is only ~200 years old.
Like a Jewish version of Mormons basically.
