Such is the beauty of lemmy

"yes the libraries should be turned into disciplinary rooms"

"I don't understand why all of these kids are going crazy and hurting themselves/others, probably the china app"

Jesus fucking Christ america fix your shit

Aha see you are wrong because I grew up with the rage comics and now they are forever cringe so that means you are factually and objectively wrong good day sir

The sun's core being filled with a quark plasma soup instead of, for example cotton candy, is also an assumption that is not evidence-based.

It's almost like we as humans can use logic and reason to determine things to be extremely significantly probable without having proof in our hands.

This line of thinking is what let's wage thieves sleep at night.

Here's the thing: it doesn't

Fun fact, none of the Abrahamic religions support gender equality

I would probably just kill myself out of embarrassment tbh, to a seppuku thing because I have dishonored myself

cries in Canadian

Could've been funnier if the template wasn't fucked up

Proud of u son

I did haha whoops

Though I also feel them on the dad forcing you to do manly stuff. My dad was always like "why don't you have a girlfriend yet" constantly since I was 9 or "you should play sports not play on the computer" n shit like that. He doesn't do any of that now that my computer stuff has me making more money than him though haha fuck you dad

I love you

Hey I feel that but without being gay... How does that work?

I just use ublock with Firefox, I'm fine with the baked in ads on Firefox I don't mind supporting them. Considering what the other option is, I want to support them.

Jesus Christ kill it!

I know I'm not the fucking arbiter of news my dude I literally said IMO.

IMO = in my opinion

There you go, you learned something new. I'm not a mod I'm not calling for this post to be removed I'm just saying in MY OPINION it's not global news.

Edit: to add onto this point I appreciate that you think it might change some people's opinions on this anti vaxx stuff but after dealing with my mom's anti vaxx bullshit I really think anyone who's dumb enough to believe in this shit won't be swayed by someone losing their medical license they will just point to it and be like "SEE THE GOVERNMENTS ARE TRYING TO SUPPRESS US! ITS A CONSPIRACY!!"

Every time something like this is in the news my mum just believes her crazy shit even more. It gives credibility that the news and government are colluding somehow.

Ahhh gotcha thanks, I probably won't remember the name though to be honest.

This is such a bad argument.

"You don't know who this one conspiracy theorist is so clearly your incapable of understanding that we need to make news about fucking nutjobs everytime they are a nutjobs so that they get more exposure"

How is it even news that she lost her job which she obviously should have lost?

"Hey guys, we got some hot news! The surgeon who fainted whenever he saw blood lost his job!"

Wow thanks for the news, very exciting, very unexpected, it's totally gonna change things on a global scale for the foreseeable future. Nothing more world changing than someone getting fired for incompetency.

I have no idea who Andrew Wakefield is, I honestly think making news articles about these people is just giving them more of a platform, and something to point at and be like "SEE THEY ARE OUT TO GET ME!! IM THE VICTIM".

Dumb anti vaxxers are everywhere but I doubt an antivaxxer in Bangladesh knows who these people are. Also the whole anti vax thing died out after restrictions were relaxed and it's barely important news hearing more of this bullshit we've heard about for years when it's less relevant than ever.

Not global news IMO.

Basically that weak contact before the device finishes being screwed in would cause a lot of arcing which would definitely cause a short circuit and would definitely trip your breaker almost constantly. The reason lightbulbs can be screwed in is not so much that it's a convenient way to design an installable electronic but more that lightbulb companies wanted to create a design that would be so easy to replace any person could do it without any training.

So Edison hired a team of engineers to design an easy and safe application and they made the screw in application such that the contact would only get close enough at the very end of screwing and so that none of the metal would be able to contact human skin, avoiding electrocution and minimizing arcing.

For literally any higher draw application this would cause arcing so intense it would flip a breaker or possibly destroy the device and cause a fire. If you want a real life example just take a portable heater, set it to on and plug it into the wall but make that plugging motion last 3-5 seconds. WARNING you will at the very least flip a breaker and at the worst cause a fire and destroy your wall outlet, so don't actually try this at home lmao
