Has Github/Microsoft rolled back the master to main switch?
(FYI I didn't make this and I believe it's fake but honestly it's hard to tell)

Reddit: Return Of The Junk Stock IPO
Reply in thread
The comparison is even more apt when you remember that the official Reddit app also used to be the most popular and great 3rd-party app called AlienBlue, which was purchased from 1 guy and rebranded a decade ago.
It's pretty clear that the reason why the official Reddit app isn't good is because a good experience for their users isn't their goal.

Honestly, I would recommend the audiobook over the book; having someone else figure out how to say the special names makes it much easier to keep track of them in your mind, I find

Fuck driving tests
I see where you are coming from, but it is imperative that your head moves to see in the blind spots of the car; it's the large section of the surroundings of the car that mirrors are not covering or that are hidden by pillars or other structures of your car if you head stays still.
I don't think it's a big deal if you otherwise check your mirrors, speed, rpm, etc using peripheral vision, but if your head isn't moving and always points forward, it's physically impossible to stay aware of everything happening around you because there are large chunks you never see

Pole user rule
Reply in thread
In an unarmored context, which applied very often throughout history, the spear is easier to use and especially lighter, which makes it a better and more nimble weapon. Spears can also be much longer than heavier pole arms whilst remaining usable, keeping the danger further away from the user
The speed at which one can move a spear tip is impressive and getting stabbed by it has large stopping power. The spear can also parry attacks in a large sweeping area, which makes it hard for anything else than another spear to get through
The more complex pole weapons start to shine in an armored context, where stabbing someone at the end of your long pointy stick becomes harder. Then, the hook-y, chop-y and spike-y bits of the halberd can really help tackle the armor

For centuries, the only way to get purple dye in Europe was by harvesting tens of thousands of murex snails from the ocean. TIL the Mayans discovered this independently
Reply in thread
I don't really have great knowledge on this topic but my understanding is that it wasn't just because it was purple, it was that the resulting purple dye was excellent; it was bright, beautiful and never faded. You can dye stuff purple with cabbage but it's just not a very good dye in those regards

OpenAI doesn't care about licensing copyrighted works, or in this case getting Johansson's consent before using her voice as training data; they'll then claim that Theft Machine 4.0 is waaaaaay too complicated to be bound by such pedestrian laws

It's pretty weird to be basically shilling for brands in here but Nexcare bandages are superior to band-aids in pretty much every way; i agree that band-aids beat generic though

I'm not sure if my comment is whoosh, but just in case; it's the transliteration of the letters in the picture if you read them as cyrillic letters, highlighting that they should be understood as faux-cyrillic instead

How dense would the atmosphere need to be to result in a cataclysmic chain reaction during a nuclear explosion?
I don't know what chain reaction exactly they were thinking of, but from modern fusion research, I believe we can confidently say that the atmosphere would need to be interior-of-a-large-star-level dense, and even then I'm not sure you'd get nitrogen fusing with anything without a lot of hydrogen or helium around. Nitrogen-nitrogen fusion seems extremely implausible for sure

What's some easy recipes that only use non-perishables?
Chickpea curry is made entirely with pantry items and is very delicious. You can throw in non-pantry items if you have them but they are not necessary

Spam musubi is a popular snack in Hawaii that's also entirely pantry food. I love spam but not everyone does; if you want pantry meals though chances are you would be okay with it.

Obviously canned soups are a good pantry meal source, no special recipe there
Flaked ham or tuna cans with Mayo & relish (or chopped celery if you have them) are delicious to eat on any type of crackers

That's what I can think of for now haha
