Common misuse of words. Decimate means reduce by 1/10 not almost completely destroy. Exponential growth. The variable has to be in the exponent if it's a constant exponent that is polynomial growth. Gaslighting isn't just lying. It's making someone belive that they can't trust their own memories or experiences so they believe you despite evidence to the contrary.

Saying that they could care less when they mean they couldn't care less.

Like, of course anyone can care less than they currently do.

Here are my top 5:

  • Being on their phone too much.
  • Being willfully ignorant.
  • Believing in religion.
  • Using proprietary social media apps (e.g. Instagram, Snapchat, Facebook).
  • Using non-free BIOS firmware / non-free software.

People who make small talk with the cashier or service person when there is a line and people who accelerate in the turn lane.

Being smarmy. I can't stand people who are ready to manipulate anything out of people as they do it with their smarmy smirks.

People with shattered phone screens.

Pretty much anyone with a broken phone screen are just chaos moving around.

[-] MutilationWave@lemmy.world 6 points 3 hours ago

I understand where you're coming from, but it might just have been a simple accident and they're too poor or don't have the time to get it fixed. I went around with a shattered screen for about six months.

[-] BambiDiego@lemmy.world 3 points 1 hour ago

That's the exception for me. If the screen is cracked, but it bothers them I sympathize, but if it's cracked and they throw their phone around and get mad as if it was the phone's fault then I super, super judge them.

[-] Trae@lemmy.world 1 points 4 hours ago

I have the same theory. Anytime I see someone having a phone call on speakerphone it's almost 100% because their screen is shattered and they just walk around screaming into their phone.

Makes sense that these are also the type of people walking around just raw dogging life with out a cell phone case.

Being all like "I fucking love science" whilst perpetuating ignorance of what science actually is like

[-] ilhamagh@lemmy.world 4 points 6 hours ago

Elaborate with example pls

Anyone calling themselves a "scientist"

Biologist, astronomer, mathematicians, these are all valid professions.

Scientist is not a profession.

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 1 points 5 hours ago

I'll keep an eye out for one, but in the meantime, I'll be more specific about what I mean about ignoring how science actually is.

One of the things I find most beautiful about science is how it thrives in uncertainty — great science is more likely to arise from a "huh, that's strange..." than a big "Eureka" moment, not least of all because most breakthroughs involve large collaborations of researchers.

"Scientism" is the term usually used for the kind of thing that irks me. I'm realising now that I feel unequipped to properly explain that, so I'm going to point to a video I like on this matter by a cardiologist and science communicator I like: https://youtu.be/CVPy25wQ07k

I’ve got a great example. My wife and I argue about directions all the time. I usually think Google and Apple maps are going to give me the quickest route because it’s an algorithm based on more data than I currently have like traffic and current road conditions. She’s usually all about her “gut” feeling and it involves these very convoluted paths that involve way too many extra intersections and very unknown conditions like others thinking the exact same thing and making it way more congested. I wasn’t even going to get into things like game theory since that would be way over her head. She very smart just not about nerdy things like that. Anyway I was like fine, ok let’s test it. Let’s see which way is quicker. Of course no two situations are going to be exact given changing variables like traffic patterns, times of day, construction, etc. but given enough data we could definitely prove which way is better: her gut feeling or taking the suggested route from the appropriate app. That’s science. Come up with a hypothesis, then a method to test the hypothesis, and then do the test. In this case it’s pretty simple to figure out if it works. You’re just comparing times. But nope, doesn’t wanna do it. And she’s all about the science. During COVID she even said we should be doing what the epidemiologists and doctors suggest since they “have done the science”. Here’s a chance for use to do a very simple version of that same thing.

being judgey assholes

  • People who take phone calls with it on speaker
  • People that have anything on speaker while in a public place
  • Wearing "MAGA" clothing
  • Having a cyber truck
  • Leaving large gaps in the drive thru queue
  • People with young children that they dress up like little adults.
  • People who refuse to learn basic tech (email, texting, etc.)
  • Edit: People that don't like animals, or they dislike just cats. I feel like people who don't vibe with animals in some way are... Off.

People who are using their cellphone/mobile as a telefon (calling someone) but not holding it as a telephone but as a slab in front of their face. And ofc with the speaker on.

Slightly better but still stupid: Videocalling (or Facetiming) with the phone right in front of their nose.

I mean, just hold the phone so that the speaker is at your ear and the mic is right by your mouth...
