Imagine claiming something as stupid as the flatness of Earth.

The first group of people will try to prove that it's round.

The second group will be triggered by the explanations of the first group. They will try to prove that Earth is geoid.

The third group will see how people who claim that Earth is round are being attacked.

The fourth group of edgelords will pretend that they believe that Earth is flat.

This ritual will continue until the myth of flat Earth is created. Isn't it funny?

Warning ⚠️

Republicans make young democrats hard

We don't currently have enough information to make a conclusive statement

But someone does and it's hilarious

Maybe he wanted to vote against Trump several times: both in the primary and main

We have a low tier propagandist in Russia who tweaked the last paragraph:

"And then they stopped coming. Because everything became normal."

Jokes aside, last week he got accused of committing some kind of crime. Waiting for him to be jailed and the joke to be finished.

Haha, yeah man, quantum computer.

Here's a daily reminder: current quantum computers are fake needed to confess the middle management to invest in quantum computers

Jokes on you, I don't believe it today

I'm highly suspicious about group dispersion over long distances. Today's infrastructure was developed for a certain range of frequencies. Broading it right away wouldn't be applicable that easy - we would need to introduce error correction which compromises the speed multiplier.

Too lazy to get the original paper though

People do mention Veritasium, though he doesn't give any significant explanation of the phenomenon.

I still wonder about 47. In Veritasium plots, all these numbers provide a peak, but not 47. I recall from my childhood that I indeed used to notice that number everywhere, but idk why.

While I agree that sanctions affected only the privileged minority as myself, there are subtle signs that Russian society isn't taking the war in a healthy way:

1. High reported anxiety with a peak at Sep 2022 https://www.euronews.com/2023/09/26/bursts-of-anxiety-impact-of-ukraine-war-on-russians-laid-bare-in-poll

2. Spiked alcohol consumption (+10% a year) https://www.themoscowtimes.com/2024/01/15/alcohol-dependency-in-russia-increases-for-first-time-in-a-decade-a83718

3. An anti-war presidential candidate that had 10% support a month before the election

reducing the % of poor people across the whole population of Russia

No, no, no. Even Ukraine estimates Russian casualties as 400k, and they include severely wounded, pov, and Ukrainians mobilized from occupied territories. Russia has 120-140m people (there's a conspiracy about how many people live there, but sociologists give this range). In the first COVID year the excessive deaths were about 1m. Hence the casualties, cynically speaking, is not that significant.
