is that true? Do magnets not work underwater
Well, electromagnets don’t work when they short-circuit in water…
well... to be fair.......
Whenever I think about magnets I remember this Feynman interview where someone asks him why magnets behave the way they do, and he says that to answer a "why"-question you need a foundation where something is agreed to be true, and it seems like for electromagnetic forces we end up in " because that's how the universe is apparently".
Sure, but between nothing and the axioms of the standard model we end up with a fairly comprehensive description which can predict how different kinds of magnets behave in a wide variety of situations.
Feynman must be ~~rolling~~ changing the spin orientation in his grave.
is that... did he... did he really say that?
At this point you can't really tell whether something is satire or a quote from the orange president.
He was talking about electromagnets at sea ships... Because the sea-water would short them.
But then, it's almost as stupid as the short version.
This is retarded as well. I once repaired an undersea $10,000 cable for like $600.
Like bitch (orange menace), pay people what they're fucking worth, I was worth 3 times that much, if not more..
Per Newsweek article
"Think of it, magnets," Trump said. "Now all I know about magnets is this, give me a glass of water, let me drop it on the magnets, that's the end of the magnets. Why didn't they use John Deere? Why didn't they bring in the John Deere people? Do you like John Deere? I like John Deere."
Incoherent rambling like usual
Dude sounds like chatgpt 0.1 beta
How. How is he THIS fucking stupid? How did someone THIS fucking stupid become president twice?
His brain is soup. Probably a combination of hard drugs and venereal diseases.
Many people are just as stupid as him.
Our society prioritizes trash like nft startups instead of education
When I read the comment sections of my local news most of the comments are incoherent rambling like Trump but with more spelling mistakes. Its sad.
Many don't really get to hear him unfiltered. Around T1 I was watching Fox and they at best had a text snippet of something he said. Never extra text around the snippet and certainly not the audio. Still many do go and see him live.
Many are, but many Trump supporters started out smarter than him but they've dumbed themselves down to his level in order to continue their support, I guess.
Some people will do anything to continue to fit in with their group. I don't think it's always even a conscious choice.
Just look how stupid the average person is. Half of the people are more stupid. Never underestimate the power of stupid people in large groups.
The last few years have taught me that the difference between stupid and not stupid is oceans wider than I thought.
I turns out stupid people are closer to what I thought the intelligence of an animal was.
These people literally don’t think. They basically pattern match and that’s it. There’s no deeper reasoning. There’s no capacity for nuance, no understanding or extension of empathy. They can barely read. If you string the gibberish from an AI they’ll blindly trust that it’s correct above all evidence.
Meanwhile we’re seeing all these nuanced multi step problem solving behaviours from birds and all animals and even bumblebees…
I read something from someone on the internet who claimed to work with bear-proof garbage cans and apparently it’s harder than one might expect. There’s some overlap between the smartest bears and the dumbest people.
I’m sure the bears are more motivated, but still…
I think you mean then median person. ☝️🤓
Can't speak for anyone else, but I was taught that mean, median, and mode are three different types of average.
Oh crap. Translating average to my language yields the same word as mean. But you're right.
Because mean means average. I wouldn’t consider the median or the mode to be an average. Not sure what that commenter means by different “types of average”.
Under a normal distribution/bell curve mean and median are the same.
Considering intelligence/stupidity isn't defined, it's a lot to assume that its distribution can be approximated by a Gaussian.
I don’t totally disagree, I’ve never seen an actual distribution of random iq scores
And there's plenty of criticism of IQ tests as a proxy for intelligence, even if we did have the data.
Ignorance is often glorified here.
behold, the shining beacon of freedom and democracy
Incoherent rambling to us fucking poetry to the demented lead paint chip eating maga crowd
When ever you think something sounds too stupid even for trump. No you didn't.
His stupidity is his defining characteristic among his voters. For the wealthy and powerful, he's an easily manipulable rube. For the poor saps he says the same stupid things they think and say. He's just like them, so relatable!
Unfortunately he did https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MJufrrsaIks
And just in case anyone thinks that's AI, ABC News vetted it as being true here (in the body, not the video).
I know why voting records can't be public, but I simultaneously wish they had to be too. As an appropriately-colored scarlet letter.
It sounds shocking until you remember Americans are dumb as shit. I have to keep reminding myself of this to make any sense of the absolute dystopian nightmare that somehow they support.
had to look it up. aparently yes, 2 years ago
Smart people will always admit when they aren't sure about something.
Idiots always know everything
Looks like slop, eww
Ironically, you've left your mistaken comment sit up here for 7 hours now. #Hypocrisy
How am I mistaken and how does "ironic", or "hybocrisy" apply? O.o
At best you're preaching to the chior. At worst you're wrong and it's not A.I., and you just look foolish. Your comment is a waste of bandwith either way. I'm tired of literally every thread having someone yelling "slop" in it.
And I'm tired of the fucking slop. Not posting slop is how you avoid unnecessary bandwidth.
