I find it amusing that they “use cookies to give you the best possible experience”, but then ask you to pay to not have them.

This is what it looks like when people are posting to maximise engagement rather than to share interesting thoughts.

I’m not sure why you’re saying its clocks that are wrong rather than the other stuff. Currently we have x = r cos(𝜃) and y = r sin(𝜃), and that’s what makes anti-clockwise rotations mathematically natural. But if we instead just used x = r sin(𝜃) and y = r cos(𝜃) then clockwise would be the natural positive rotation. And in that case, the unit circle would start at the top and go around clockwise… like we do for compass bearing (and clocks of course). So perhaps that would be better than changing what clocks do.

The tides will turn though. I’ve been denouncing google for years, and I’ve find it quite striking how the pushback has disappeared recently. It use to be that any negative comment about google was met by a small army of google fans. That just isn’t the case any more.

With the stuff about ‘super computers’, this seems more like a shitpost than a science meme.

Perhaps so, but one might argue that human tech relies more on iron than any other metal - because of its magnetic properties. We need iron to generate and manipulate electricity.

Titanium perhaps - but that is more different to get.

The angle is so bad that I was wondering if it was a joke about them falling asleep right at the start of their movie-marathon, before even eating their pizza.

Poor and middle-income people earn money. Rich people just take it from the people who earn it.

This is a great poster. Thank you!

(But perhaps embarrassingly, I don’t recognise the top left guy.)

To me it is weird that every day on lemmy I see new posts complaining about all tankies… but I never actually see any of the content they are complaining about. And outside of lemmy, I never see or hear the word ‘tankies’ used at all. I’ve asked a couple of people I know in real life if they ever seen discussions about it in their parts of the internet, and none of them people I’ve asked have ever heard the word before.

So… like I said, I find it weird. It’s like some kind of lemmy boogieman.

In some countries, zero is neither positive nor negative. But in others, it is both positive and negative. So saying the set of natural number is the same as non-negative [integers] doesn’t really help. (Also, obviously not everyone would even agree that with that definition regardless of whether zero is negative.)

Hence the username, I guess. :p
