This is so fucking cringe that it hurts my brain every time they say it.

It’s the same meme, but younger and fresher.

I thought the same :-).

Tough, the books make quite the point that it is not “human” intellegence they have.

And this is it. This is how we arrived where we are now.

Nature? KILL IT! EXTERMINATE IT!

We’ve spend 2000 years slowly beeting nature to our wims. It has destroyed the planets ecosystem on a scale only seen by planet wide desasters in the past. We have driven countless species into extinction, and still counting. We take without any regard or resecpt for anything then our own needs.

That is exactly the mindset the comment I am replying to has to me.

It’s such a shame. Children have so much curiosity for the world.

Adults should realy nourish that, not kill it.

I’ve worked with children in that age range (6 and older) and it’s realy crazy what they come up if you give them a bit of room to experiment with their ideas.

Good point. If the wizard did this you also would never know that such a song existed. Hence your “worst song in the world” spot would be filled with a different song the instant the spell hits.

It shows how such categories as “the worst” and “the best” are only constructions of our mind.

Let’s say it’s a postmodern interpretation of the meme idea.

This is the Paper that started it. They used some (at the time) new techniques to 3d model an old fossil they had, if I recall it correctly.

When AI would have been the better choice.

Also pretending that 4000 years ago humans were still hunter gatherers or something (it’s kind of implied in the wording imo). 4000 years ago there were plenty of fairly developed civilisations around.

Is this Chat GPT? So a bunch of made up papers?

Edit: Not that I give a shit about the downvotes, but come on. Give me a link to one of them. Just one. They even left the “Here are some studies…” AI red flag in there.

Belief in magic is pretty even between the genders and pretty common

I was interested and looked up some studies. There is a gender gap in spiritual believe and women tend to be more spiritual, including believing in magic. So OPs statement in that regards holds.

Just to be clear, I’m not saying everything that op wrote is correct or that I agree, but the starting point they used, that women tend to belive in magical stuff more often, seems to be true.

You can cook em in hot water to losen the hair. It’s called scalding.

Well, cats and dogs are quite nutritious too, I suppose, so this realy goes for most pets.

No, you can see him behind her in the background in the original. I think this is made without AI, AFAIK this was a thing way before AI.

I was a single, almost 40 years old and happy but somewhat lonely dude 2 years ago.

Now I have a wonderful wife and my twin boy and girl are the sweetest little bunches of joy I can imagine. Additional, my mum sold her house and now we have enoth money to take a year of work and care for the kids together.

I’m tiered and, i am exhausted, but feel so endlessy blessed and happy every time I look at my wife or my children.

Possibly some of them where Sherpas who died while slaving their body to westerners.
