Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Whats your hot take on something that doesnt matter at all?
7·15 days agoSteepness has nothing to do with time.
Say your goal was to climb a 20km mountain
If it was a steep mountain it would be harder than a flat dune mountain.
If you could walk at a max speed of 10km an hour both mountains would take 2 hours to climb.
X-axis: Time Y-axis: Difficulty
Example Yo-yoing.
Doesn’t have steep learning curve. You can throw a yo-yo and get it up fairly easy. As you practice the difficulty of things you can do goes up.
It’s learning curve would look like

Example wake boarding.
Does have a steep learning curve. You more than likely will be dragged under water a couple times and probably fall as soon as you get up the first time to be dragged under water again. But once you get the hang of it it becomes second nature.
It’s learning curve would look like

Steepness is the difficulty required to move on in time

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is the scariest shit you can think of?
7·3 months agoSome form of torture. The thing about torture is you can always add “and then…”
Psychological and physical
Imagine being forced to rip off your significant other’s fingernail.
And you might say “There’s no way I’d do that”
Sadly you will. Either to save yourself or them from more torture.
You will do it, we all would. That’s scary.

Lemmy Shitpost@lemmy.world•Be honest. You were also fooled by what you thought that you saw
15·3 months agoIt’s because of the tree’s “shadows” on the lake.
There is a dirty spot right where a shadow should be on the right trees and the tree in the yard blocks all the shadows of where the other trees should be.
If you removed the tree and cleaned the wall it wouldn’t look like a lake at all.
Every animal in the comic should be a horseshoe crab.

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Have most people never seen a full starry night sky
1·4 months agoHighly recommend going to see it in person. Pictures can’t do it justice.
It’s like the grand canyon. You can look at pictures but being there to actually see the scale is a different experience.
It’s honestly mind blowing

No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•Have most people never seen a full starry night sky
101·4 months ago
I have been on this planet for a while and I have only seen the night sky like the last picture driving through Texas in the middle of nowhere.
Power going out in a city isn’t enough to stop the light population from surrounding areas. It would have to be the only city around for miles and it would have to be a full power loss.
I would say most people have never came close to seeing an uncountable amount of stars in the sky.
I live in a medium sized city that is 30 minutes from a large city. I can count like a dozen stars in the sky. If we lose power the sky doesn’t magically change to look like it was in Texas. Honestly, I don’t remember it changing at all.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.
1·4 months agoThe idea was as she got older he wouldn’t date younger than her current age. Weird and creepy but not the weird and creepy way you think.
“In 3 years when you’re 20 I won’t be dating an 18-year-old.”
This was in 2006
Trump married Melenia in 2005
So imagine saying this after being married to your wife for a year.
Here’s another quote of him saying he has no age limit only to back track and then “weaved” to bring up another senator’s folly to divert attention on what he almost just let get confirmed.
Things got a little weird after co-host Robin Quivers asked Trump if he had “an age limit.”
Trump fumbled a bit at the response.
“If I— No, no, I have no age— I mean, I have an age li—” Trump said, while Quivers asked him “the upper bracket” of his limit.

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•We wouldn’t need the Epstein files to prove DJT’s guilt if society just trusted women in the first place.
61·4 months agoYou don’t trust the guy that made a promise to his 17 year old daughter that he’d never date younger than her?
And not only make that promise but went on Howard Stern and openly told the world about it?
It’s bizarre. Like just that one comment is enough to make me not want to stand up for the guy.
It would make sense for bars with ice chests that served bottled beer in glasses
A picture is worth a thousand words
“Hi I am…I am looking for sex”
If you are using a dating website and actually trying. You’d look at a profile, read their bio, and then send a message that had something to do with their bio. (Could also comment on pictures)
But it is a numbers game to an extent and most messages sent will never see a reply.
So what is the least effort highest reward thing to send first? Private picture.
They are hoping that the person opens it and it catches their eye.
If their first thought is to send a private picture, they are not really looking for small talk. So it has the added bonus of weeding out non-sexual people.
It’s no risk, high reward

Games@sh.itjust.works•Xbox graphics department lead puts out cringe-worthy hiring post... with AI graphicsEnglish
3·4 months agoA laptop with a screen on both sides would have its niche.
Shuting it would be like a tablet.
You could do something while a person across watches.
If you could rotate the screen you could swivel the screen to swap between two physical screens. I prefer two monitors over an ultra wide or trying to digitally swap between two screens. Rotating screen would have the problem of not being able to see both at once.
However, if you made the screen on the back hinge forward. You could flip the screen towards you and have a second physical monitor.
Sounds expensive and not really needed. But it wouldn’t be a bad design
Dang you would have gotten BoobSmiles too
I get that
I wouldn’t buy diamonds or gold hoping they increase in price just as much as I wouldn’t buy bitcoin to do the same.
If you offered me 1USD in Gold, Diamond, or Bitcoin.
I would take the gold. It has the most intrinsic value.
The probably that gold hits 0USD is less than bitcoin hitting 0USD.
The only reason you’d take bitcoin is if you think that it has a higher ceiling. Intrinsic value is the floor. But that is gambling

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your favorite thing that anyone has done out of pure spite?
3·4 months agoCraps is almost a team game.
If everyone plays the Pass Line (Shooter, the person throwing the dice has to play it) then everyone wins/loses together.
Everyone at the table playing the Pass Line is pulling for the shooter to make his point.
Now imagine if you have one person out of 8 playing the Don’t Pass. The person playing Don’t Pass line is hoping the other 7 players lose so that they can win.
It’s almost equivalent to everyone at the roulette table playing black. And you walk up and say “I hope it comes red”. Like why don’t you just hope it comes black so you can win when everyone wins?

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What's your favorite thing that anyone has done out of pure spite?
3·4 months agoMy brother takes the dice and rolls the point. Everyone places their chips. I place my chips. The dealer asks me, “Did you mean to put your chips on the Don’t Pass Line?” “Yes, that’s exactly what I meant to do.” Silence. Then my sister: “You’re an asshole.” My brother rolls again: seven. The Don’t Pass Line wins me a couple bucks.
This doesn’t make any sense
- Once the point is established by the shooter on the come out roll, you cannot play Pass or Don’t Pass lines.
So after your brother takes the dice and rolls the point. You cannot place your chips on Pass/Don’t Pass. Maybe why dealer was confused?
- Don’t Pass Line pays on shooter rolling 2 or 3 on come out roll. You’d lose if he rolled a 7. Pass Line wins if shooter rolls a 7 on come out roll.
Second roll was a 7?
You’d have bet Don’t Pass before your brother ever rolled the dice for a second roll 7 to win the Don’t Pass
Bets after the shooter’s first come out roll are usually Come/Don’t Come bets.
If you made a Don’t Come bet instead of a Don’t Pass (Dealer was confused from your illegal play and considered it a Don’t Come bet.) You’d still lose if a 7 were rolled second. So that doesn’t make sense.
If your first bet was after your brother rolled once. The only way you’d win with him rolling a 7 on his second roll would be to play a SEVEN bet. Which would be an even bigger dick move than Don’t Pass because it’s a one turn bet that your brother was going to roll a 7.
I guess most likely you played the don’t pass before your brother ever rolled



Where’s the lemon party?
