His pattern recognition is through the roof !

[-] Windex007@lemmy.world 127 points 1 week ago

This guy is the definition of "if your only tool is a hammer, every problem will look like a nail".

"Leftist Tyranny".

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago

If it was leftist tyranny, we would all get equal access to pet squirrels if we want them or not.

Fascism is denying squirrels to those who want them because the state has decided you can not have a squirrel.

The famously leftist NYPD.

I mean... That is not really what was puzzling about mercury. Its elliptical orbit, as predicted by Newtonian physics, was shifting a little each orbit. It was not a trick of the light bending, it actually moves "wrong" according to newtonian physics. He could have just read wikipedia instead of making stuff up to try and sound smart. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity

good read, but a better link for the next person:

https://wikipedia.org/wiki/Tests_of_general_relativity#Perihelion_precession_of_Mercury

[-] undercrust@lemmy.ca 14 points 1 week ago

Detailed release notes for a URL change? You're a saint and a scholar both.

Thank you! I wanted to make the link to appropriate section and I usually click the section in the toc to get it. But I could not find the toc on the mobile site.

[-] shalafi@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

That last bullet was my first laugh of the day.

[-] blind3rdeye@lemm.ee 3 points 1 week ago

And as I understand it, the existence of an inner planet (Vulcan) was a reasonable explanation consistent with Newtonian gravity. (The only problem was that the planet wasn't there.)

[-] TherapyGary@lemmy.blahaj.zone 84 points 1 week ago

I got fucking whiplash from this lmao

[-] Clent@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

Stupid people don't know how stupid they are. They reject the very notion. It's how one stays stupid in a world with all the world's knowledge at our fingertips.

Turns out access to knowledge was not a threat to the leaders in history. The very idea they were concerns may be oversold.

[-] Blackmist@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

It's easy to assume that everyone that disagrees with us is stupid, but I can assure you that's very much not true.

I've seen otherwise very intelligent people lost down the rabbit hole of right-wing fuckbaggery. I think it's often just a slow burn from social media. I saw a video earlier today about an ancient tool for spear throwing, and was immediately afterwards presented with a video about how the new Dragon Age game is ruined by DEI...

And the saddest thing is, most people on the extremes have started at the same place: An unhappiness with their own life and a search for a solution. They've just ended up at vastly different positions, in that the right has chosen to blame the nebulous "others" below them, while the left has chosen to blame the "others" above them. And punching down is always an ugly look.

I swear, every James Woods post I’ve ever read is the text equivalent of watching a seasoned philosopher very carefully, and methodically shit their pants.

[-] psion1369@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

So.. Diogenes?

[-] Ep1cFac3pa1m@lemmy.world 58 points 1 week ago

Ah yes, those leftist police I’m always hearing about…

[-] SlopppyEngineer@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Those that keep shooting dogs whenever they go?

[-] rovingnothing29@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago

(Looks at his twitter) Oh no

[-] weeeeum@lemmy.world 39 points 1 week ago

Minus the "leftist" part of his argument, his assumption is correct. Reasonable laws and measures can be abused by power to oppress the people. Give the government an inch of power and they will take it a mile.

Using grounds of "preventing the spread of rabies" authorities invaded this man's home and killed his pets. Keep this in mind whenever giving the government any power. It is clear trump wants as much power as possible, even complimenting Hitler's generals for their loyalty and obedience.

[-] hedgehogging_the_bed@lemmy.world 41 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Dude needed to get his wildlife handler paperwork or shut the fuck up. He claimed he was getting it repeatedly and there's evidence he did fuck all.

He got his animals killed by failing to adhere to the basic laws he already knew about. It wasn't a surprise.

[-] Grandwolf319@sh.itjust.works 39 points 1 week ago

This news breaks, both leftist places and far right places get pissed off, but for some reason far right places think leftist want this….

This is actually a big problem when it comes to polarization. Right wing idiots think anything unpopular that they clearly don’t stand for HAS to be supported by “the radical left”.

It’s right out of the fascist playbook, blame all wrongdoings on your current scapegoat group.

[-] scoredseqrica@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 week ago

Yeah I hate it when New York cops keep blabbing on and on about seizing the means of production, and how they’re going to take down the bourgeoisie.

[-] AnarchistArtificer@slrpnk.net 24 points 1 week ago

If this were a shitpost, I would unironically love this.

Unfortunately, I think it isn't intended that way, so thumbs down from me

[-] rickyrigatoni@lemm.ee 17 points 1 week ago

Holy fucking shit we need a warning for this amount of whiplash.

[-] bruhduh@lemmy.world 17 points 1 week ago
[-] Fuckfuckmyfuckingass@lemmy.world 15 points 1 week ago

Isn't there a character limit on shitter?

[-] BatmanAoD@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago

For blue checks it's now much higher

[-] VantaBrandon@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

Muh squirrel freedums

[-] undercrust@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

Awww man, is James Woods a brain-dead MAGA cultist now?

[-] JoeBigelow@lemmy.ca 24 points 1 week ago

🌎👨‍🚀🔫👨‍🚀

[-] slumlordthanatos@lemmy.world 5 points 1 week ago

That shouldn't be surprising, given his history.

[-] Aceticon@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago

Ah, the good old fallacy of justifying one thing with something completely unrelated.

One can just as easily use the same argumentative structure to claim that a delayed train on the subway is the tip of the iceberg which is the Worldwide Illuminati Conspiracy or that the wood in one's wardrobe having a darker spot indicates it used to be a gateway to Narnia.

[-] random_character_a@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

So, the squirrel is gonna give us quantium gravity and leftist are gonna use it for conquest?

Not sure I'm following, but it maked kinda sense.

[-] LovableSidekick@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

James you're such a great actor it's sad you're such a fucking loser.

[-] greencactus@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago
[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 14 points 1 week ago

It's James woods, he's 100% brainworms serious.

[-] greencactus@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

That is actually impressively dumb

Like seriously, I think he really really put effort into being dumb here. You can't be just randomly that ignorant here, I think

[-] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

You can't be just randomly that ignorant here, I think

Woods didn't just randomly become that ignorant, he's been practicing for well over a decade. He's professionally ignorant.

[-] ICastFist@programming.dev 2 points 1 week ago

It's xitter, it's impossible to know. Even with winking emojis and /s people will take the second half seriously
