Karyoplasma , to Memes in There's a reason he was shot.

It's a wild animal caged for display. As in: may act erratically.

Karyoplasma , to World News in Report finds Nestlé adds sugars to baby food in low-income countries

The same company that gave out free baby formular to poor African families and then, after a couple of months, went "nuh-uh you now have to pay so your babies don't die lol"? Surprising.

American cheese often does contain actual cheddar. It's basically a cheese blend that is mixed together with sodium citrate. I live in Germany and American cheese cannot be sold as "cheese" here, the industry usually calls it "Sandwichscheiben", but maybe Switzerland is less strict.

Cheddar is well worth a visit. It's a cozy, little town and the gorges are gorgeous (huehuehue). There are also awesome hiking trails around there.

Karyoplasma , to No Stupid Questions in I have amblyopia. Is this accurate?

I had amblyopia as a kid because one of my eye muscles didn't develop properly, so there was an imbalance leading to a lazy eye. I had to get surgery to correct that, but it was past the time window when proper depth perception is developed (until about 7 years of age, got my surgery with 9). So yeah, my vision is kinda like yours.

Even with the lazy eye gone, I also only use my stronger eye to look through binoculars, dunno why. But I'm myopic in the right eye and hyperopic in the left, so maybe that has something to do with it.

Karyoplasma , to Ask Lemmy in Do people vape in cars?

I don't. I also don't smoke in the car.

Karyoplasma , to Showerthoughts in With two Boeing whistleblowers dead in one month, either Boeing is actively killing them, or there are enough whistleblowers that this rate of death is not statistically significant

Didn't the iPod have the same "issue" that it sometimes played the same song twice in a row or randomly played the next song in the playlist?

You essentially did what Apple did and made the randomness less random so humans think it's more random.

The probability of 2 people having the same birthday is 1 in 365 because it's the same as picking person A's birthday as a specific day in the year and checking whether person B has their birthday on that date.

Now, the reason the number is so low is that you are basically comparing pairs and with 23 people there are 253 different pairings (23 choose 2 or 22*23/2). With each pair having a 1/365 chance to have the same birthday and having 253 distinct pairs, you would have to fail a 1/365 check 253 times in a row. The formula you can use for the success rate is 1 - (1-p)^x with p being the probability and x the number of trials, so in this case

1 - (1 - 1/365)^253 = 0.5004

In essence, the unintuitive part of the "paradox" is how fast the number of possible pairs grows the more people you add.

Karyoplasma , to World News in Israeli precision-guided munition likely killed group of children playing foosball in Gaza, weapons experts say | CNN

October 7th or something

Remember that widely-spread narrative that it was a music festival for peace in Gaza? lol

Karyoplasma , to Science in Why do people hear their names being called in the woods?

This reminds me of Black & White, the god simulation game from, idk, the early 2000s. They had a list of common names and if your save profile matched one, a creepy voice would call you from time to time.

Karyoplasma , to RPGMemes in Downtime fun in Blades in the Dark

That meme format only works if the last 2 panels have the same message.

Karyoplasma , to Technology in A coffee roastery in Finland has launched an AI-generated blend. The results were surprising - KVIA

Fuck clickbait headlines and "AI" buzzwording.

Karyoplasma , to Programmer Humor in The dangers of procrastination

Rookie mistake. The best way to procrastinate is to set everything up so you could work on it and then not do it. What's the fun in procrastination when not actively defying work?

Karyoplasma , to Technology in Ask ChatGPT to pick a number between 1 and 100

Probably just because it's prime. It's just that humans are terrible at understanding the concept of randomness. A study by Theodore P. Hill showed that when tasked to pick a random number between 1 and 10, almost a third of the subjects (n was over 8500) picked 7. 10 was the least picked number (if you ditch the few idiots that picked 0).

Karyoplasma , to World News in Israel Committing 'Textbook Case of Genocide,' Holocaust Historian Says

Egypt closed the border indefinitely. So no, there will be no help coming from Egypt "before it gets catastrophic". The reason for that is that Israel shelled the border again. Article here

Hamas is the foster child of Netanyahu and his ilk. They have been funding Hamas for a long time because it keeps the Palestinian Authority down. Article here
