>Why do you think Whatsapp is so popular now and not SMS anymore? Is this actually the case? I've heard Whatsapp is popular outside the states (something about differences in phone…

A neutral answer: he's a popular young conservative Jewish-American political pundit who gained fame for debates at college campuses. He gained notoriety for his snappy rhetorical …

Yes, millions of birds every year. About a fifth of it has salmonella, unsurprisingly. But US chicken is still banned for very dubious reasons.

Solved my first 5x5 in 1:54. At first I thought it would be really difficult but then I found a hex which could only go one way (a corner hex with V shape) and then from there the …

I've absolutely noticed that. I used to pay for GPT-3 access through AI Dungeon back in 2020, before it got censored and run into the ground. In the AI fiction community we call th…

Dalle seems to only have a few "styles" of drawing that it is actually "good" at. It is particularly strong at these styles but disappointingly underwhelming at anything else, and …

This is a running theme for Blue Zones and centenarian research data, just a bunch of really blatant falsehoods packaged as trendy diet advice (e.g. suggesting that the Okinawan di…

The problem with the evidence and research around the "plant based diet" is that there is an ulterior motive for most of the research (legitimate ethical concerns around meat eatin…

What are you considering as "American meat preparations" though? It's not all salt/pepper/butter/lemon here. Not even considering immigrant cuisines (which is doing a disservice be…

I agree, I've been all over Europe and never saw any significant difference in the quality of raw meat and poultry. I do know there is a lot of misinformation about US meats over t…

I'm definitely in the weird minority that feels like that phase of edgy internet counterculture diving was an overwhelming positive thing for me. It gave me perspective as a shelte…

Coffee culture has existed in the US since the 1700s at least when Americans started drinking coffee instead of tea to spite the British, it's just a different coffee culture than …

You have to understand though that Italians are predisposed to rip into all non-Italian food whenever they get the chance, even if it's better than the native Italian version. Amer…

I think pornhub has one they were saying they were making, idk if that is going anywhere.

I wonder if you could make a good RTS with a "command limit", or a delay between issuing a command and the army moving. This could be simulated by a horseback messenger, or the del…

It's a bit of a freaky question (you mentioned the same example last week too, I had to double-check if you were the same person) but I think it's actually really important and we …

I think the (humorous) implication is that you would use them as bait for traps. I don't think potatoes would be that effective as raccoon bait (maybe?), but I do know that bear tr…

US grocery stores in general seem no less clean than western European grocery stores from my limited experience. I don't know what the parent poster is talking about -- even Walmar…

GPT-adjacent text prediction AIs are already mostly used for this to great effect. AI Dungeon was mostly used to generate erotica. Its successors like NovelAI and Sudowrite are als…

I know this one from the Umineko visual novel series. Detectives in the Umineko universe are dimension-hopping reality auditors who wield the "rules of detective fiction" as rhetor…

I'm not sure whether you actually think this is good or bad but honestly I bet it would actually be a net positive, in a "if everybody's a pornstar, nobody is" kind of way. If you …

It's only a matter of time before we get a good NSFW image generation algorithm. Text erotica generation is already a not-insignificant part of the public AI world (remember AI dun…

I think one of many issues with the car windshield observation is we don't have a good baseline. So we notice that in 1990 there were more bugs on our windshields compared to 2020 …

I think you're right. A lot of times in modern movies, the plot, setting, and characters exist solely to advance the ideology it is trying to push. Because ideology is a ideal of r…

Yes, that's one of the big mindfucks in the nutrition world, which is that arguably the healthiest society on the planet has a diet high in sodium, refined carbs, and fried foods.
