I don’t think so. When I read that I don’t substitute the proper words in my head as I would with jawn. Also, “whatever” sounds negative to my ear, whereas jawn would be taken neut…

As a Philadelphian, i can sum up the usage of jawn as: a place, a thing or a girl/woman. For example this is a valid sentence: “Person 1: I was at the jawn down the street when tha…

Hmm, This reminds me a lot like Zenos paradox. Also, I’d like to understand how if we can say 99.999... is = 100, wouldn’t we also be able to say 99.9999888999... = 99.9999..., and…

So 99.999..% of the speed of light is just the speed of light?

Look at a light bulb when the filament is heated and is emitting light. Then look at it when it is not. The only people who can’t see the difference are blind, literally.

What does this atom look like? Do you see an atom or do you see light? Of course, all pictures are pictures of light. But there’s a difference between taking a picture of the light…

It’s not an atom, it’s a picture of the light emitted from an atom. So it’s a picture of light.

Yes, but Rome isn’t Western Europe. So western Europe’s entire history is a “dark age” before the Age of Enlightenment. (Edit: incorrectly said renaissance instead of Age of Enligh…

I’ve been using Jawn since I was a child in the early 90s. I remember my grandfather who was born in the 30s using it.

As a black Philadelphian I have to disagree. I use Jawn all the time (in non professional all settings). And so does every other black person I know. Most of the black people I kno…

For some reason this makes me think these bacteria or the mechanism behind them are the biological precursors to neurons.

The phrase pure-blooded when referring to humans is utter nonsense.

His politics are more closely aligned with the right. In fact I can’t think of one thing that’s liberal about him.

> Great contribution. Allow me to expand. The known world to you consists of various tribes of humans who all share rather similar physical phenotypes (white skin, soft, slightly c…

>and looked like different creatures These are your words. These are your thoughts.

Putting people in Zoos is a good thing? It dehumanizes Europeans to say that it is sick to put people in Zoos? Also, I never said anything about white people. I was talking specifi…

I think you underestimate the sickness of the people and culture of said people who would put people in zoos. If you can do that, you can’t put anything past that person/culture.

The only reason there is any confusion about this is because the modern day Egyptian looks non African. And the only reason for this is because the indigenous population was displa…

Why would it be a crackpot theory to suggest that for Western Europeans, whose civilization as we know it starts in the late 1400s, who convinced themselves of African inferiority …

> the surviving representations of noses in statuary don't look particularly "black" I think this says the exact opposite of what you want it to say. The fact that they survived, m…

Well if Mali has 2000 ships, that would have been “technologically superior” to what the native Americans would have had, since they had boats, not ships. But Mali also had guns so…

However, I am aware Philadelphia is a poor city, with around a 20% unemployment rate so, and many unbanked/underbanked ppl I can see the other side.

As a Philadelphian, I find this odd and backwards. It’s cash only stores (Chinese food stores, corner stores, etc) that are annoying to me since I almost never have cash on hand an…

Do sound waves have mass or transport/displace matter? The article does seem clear on this to me. Not a physicist so I could be totally wrong here, but having mass is not necessari…

That they are more closely related to eastern Asians on a phylogenetic tree has more to do with their time spent out of Africa, leaving (50-70ka). Which means they would exhibit th…
