Cosmicomical , to Today I Learned in TIL about Roko's Basilisk, a thought experiment considered by some to be an "information hazard" - a concept or idea that can cause you harm by you simply knowing/understanding it

but not as easily dismissable

Cosmicomical , to Not The Onion in Louisiana's new "Ten Commandments" law actually contains eleven commandments

And those that didn't see a quaternary joke coming

"Where's the fucking router"

Cosmicomical , to World News in Euronews: Barcelona decides to ban short term tourism rentals

A big step in the right direction

Cosmicomical , to Ask Lemmy in What would happen if everyone in your country became rich? Would inflation equalize it or would everyone just diaspora to maintain their buying power

Economic freedom in this example is pure nonsense. I don't want the freedom to overpay for something. The price point is also completely unreasonable. There are alternatives that could be implemented, like setting limits. Your example has a clear goal of promoting a certain world view that the existence of slavery is what makes us free. If that's not a paradox a don't know what a paradox is.

Cosmicomical , to Technology in Five Men Convicted of Operating Massive, Illegal Streaming Service That Allegedly Had More Content Than Netflix, Hulu, Vudu and Prime Video Combined

Not really. I can undersgand licensing but at this point it's become a distopian practice completely separated from the basic need to monetize the content an make a profit.
That's why those companies become such gargantuans monsters.

To be fairer nobody asked them to produce content. They decided to create it because it's cheaper that licensing the actual good stuff.

Cosmicomical , to Technology in NASA finds humanity would totally fumble asteroid defense

But it's very interesting to think where we would be technologically and socially if humans weren't such assholes

Cosmicomical , to Technology in Dell said return to the office or else—nearly half of workers chose “or else”
  1. Covid has more than 10x the mortality rate of common flu
  2. even without vaccine you still have an immune system, but not as ready against covid, and you spread it for a longer period which can be fatal for those around you, especially older people or people with a bad immune system

I don't get what you people have against vaccines. They saved millions of lives over the years and the causation is clear beyond any doubt.

You are te proof that the education system sucks.

Lol, more a hope than a plan

Bro, I've only heard this line from people that don't read

Cosmicomical , to Showerthoughts in With the recent issues of transgender people in sports, why don’t we move some sports over to a weight-class system?

For team sports you can assign a point value to each player and force the team to deploy a maximum total value, like for armies in WH40K

Cosmicomical , to Technology in Voyager 1 Once Again Returning Science Data From All Four Instruments

Fuck aliens

Cosmicomical , to Technology in Voyager 1 Once Again Returning Science Data From All Four Instruments

This is disrespectful towards the achievements of the human race. My father kept attributing all of our recent technology to "the findings at roswell" and i have very strong feelings towards this position.
