want to downvote, but it is a shitpost…

Assuming you mean chicken egg, and not just eggs (which @Sanctus@anarchist.nexus points out are much older than chickens) then it’s really a philosophical question. Does the egg belong to the hen or the chick? If it belongs to the hen, then the chicken chick came out of a proto-chicken egg, else the chicken’s egg came before it did.

Very weird of me to comment 2 weeks in the making, but this comment gave me a worm brain for some reason, like I’m RFK or something. Based on the idea that something is solar powered if it has any involvement with the sun at all, I wondered if I could think of a way to tie all non-solar powered sources to the sun.

• Tidal used solar tides, but non-tidal hydro can also be solar power if you consider that earth was formed in Sol’s accretion disk and water likely comes from comets pulled into the solar SOI (none of this is researched, just off the dome, no clue whether my yr 10 astrophysics is either outdated or completely misremembered)
• ergo, the use of earth’s gravity to power turbines via waterfalls etc is also solar power.
• Originally, I thought I had a gotcha with nuclear power, bc uranium DEFINITELY doesn’t have anything to do with Sol, no trees involved. But, because it uses water, you can use the same logic as hydro
• even for Voyager, which afaik just uses the heat directly sans water, you can say that the uranium itself was first attracted to Sol’s SOI before either being deposited on earth by asteroids or included in the accretion disk during earth’s formation. (tangentially, not sure how you make a fission reactor without steel, which uses organic hydrocarbons. Titanium?)
• The formation of the earth also allows attributing thermal and wind power to Sol.

As a result of me realising I’m wrong despite desperately thinking I was right, I’ve decided to dedicate all 3 rubles in my possession to develop a power plant that only uses cosmic rays and other interstellar radiation (as well as neutrinos if I’m allowed to say they’re not really captured by the solar gravity well despite having mass, which I’m pretty sure I won’t be allowed to do :c ) as well as fund interstellar colonisation efforts so that we can have extra-solar sun power, maybe hawking radiation and other fun stuff too. Escape the tyranny of the sun with me, brethren! Forego local Dyson-Swarms in favour of non-solar fossil fuels!

*stellar, not solar, the carbon in coal wasn’t formed by our sun but a different star far in the past

Ironic coming from someone with wombat in their name 🇦🇺

baby butts are also composed of chemicals

I learnt that in Sri Lankan, they don’t really have the word Protestant in their vocabulary, so they just say Catholic and (implied non-Catholic) Christian. I imagine it’s like that in a lot of parts of the world that’s majority Christian, where Christian just becomes a word meaning denomination unspecified whilst Catholic is a whole other thing. Though I have also heard people say they thought Catholics did that count as Christians, due to misconceptions about worshiping Mary and the saints being disqualifying because “you shall have no gods before me”.

What, then, is a third party launcher to you? How many launchers do you know of that allow you to launch games that you bought somewhere else? I can think of only that one Linux launcher I can’t remember the name of. Maybe you would count GOG Galaxy, because you can add non GOG games to it, but I’m like 85% sure you can do the same thing on Steam.

I think that Steam IS a third-party launcher. It started as a first-party launcher for valve games. Nowadays, though, they (the third party) allow you (the first party) to buy and launch games from unrelated publisher and developers (the second parties).

The world wide web isn’t the same thing as the internet. The internet is a network of computer networks, allowing your home network to INTERcommunicate (pls be a word so I don’t look stupid) with your ISP’s NETwork and in turn a globally interconnected network of computers. The world wide web is specifically a type of thing communicated over the internet. Don’t 100% remember what counts as a webpage but I’m going to guess the wikipedia url and if I got it right then I’ll have saved you looking it up yourself. IIRC it’s just meant to be human-readable HyperTextMarkupLanguage (HTML) pages that you can view in your browser without having to download a file to your computer. Downloading a file is something you might do on an FileTransportProtocol website (ftp.example.com vs www.example.com).

The thing is, after everything I’ve said, it basically doesn’t matter because in case you haven’t noticed, lots of, if not most, websites omit the www. subdomain from their url. The reason for this is just because almost everyone who used the internet only cares about the web. Only very specific domains and users will communicate using an ftp, imap, git, etc subdomain. Not to say these types of sites and protocols aren’t widely used, just that for eg imap, you’re much more likely to go to a website like gmail.com, outlook.com, proton.me, etc (all of which are websites but ommit the www.) and then you will access the imap part of those sites via the website.

The only part of this comment that I’m reasonably confident I didn’t get wrong is how little the difference between internet and web matters today, because almost every single time I went to talk about a non www site, I started writing “website” (instead of domain, site, url etc) and had to delete it to write something else instead.

This is pedantic, but I don’t think an equal tax would be fair at all. I take equal to mean everyone pays the same absolute amount, eg $10 a year. It wouldn’t be fair to make a newborn baby with $0 to their name pay $10. Similarly, it wouldn’t be fair to make a multi billionaire only pay $10, because they relatively cost more and benefit more from the infrastructure, institutions, economy and every other part of society; taxes of course contribute to funding that society. Sorry the paragraph where a sentence might’ve sufficed. Think that all the semantics I’m allowed to argue about on the internet for this week.

I think the point is more that the Space X IPO is overpriced for the same reason milk is overpriced: a bunch of rich people have been devastating everyone else’s back ends extra hard recently, resulting in an economy that is not only inflated but has a completely loony price skew.

My bank had been sending me emails about the IPO. Of course, they ARENT to warn consumers that what was once a valuable company (Space X does actually have utility and until recently was decently profitable) has been forcibly married into so many of Musk’s failures (Grok, X, pretty sure there was something else) and had it’s valuation ballooned by volatile AI hype that it’s almost certainly just an opportunity to dump an increasingly red line-item off Elon’s books and onto the bagholders general public’s automated ETF funds (because he extorted the NASDAQ into breaking its own rules to list on an exchange that people trusted enough to not allow fraud like this that they put their retirement into auto-buying and -selling securities based on its data). NO, besides the tiny disclaimer that they put on every correspondence with their customers to research and learn about the risks themselves (which is good of them to do, but pretty sure is required by law anyway) they then go on to basically advertise how to buy into the IPO, even though it’s listed in a different country and standard retail investors like myself normally have to jump through a couple hoops before investing in global markets. It’s downright irresponsible!

Github?

and the local stellar, and the galaxy, and the local galactic supercluster, and of lots of other places depending on the reference frame.

That’s why I keep my Arch Linux ISO up to date, according to my qbittorrent stats thats one of my most popular seeds so it helps the ratio out. Plus it’s really useful to have as a rescue system for when I nuke my machine 🙃

20:1 is crazy! Maybe I’m just interested in niche stuff, but I struggle to keep mine in the 1:1-2:1 range :(

For example, are you trying to convey a change in perspective or an active and external change. Your initial phrase “fix the devil” sounded active, making me think of enduring through slow, difficult work to achieve a big result. The second phrase, turning hell to heaven, to me sounded more like turning hell to heaven in your mind, i.e. if you spend enough time immersed in it, you will stop hating something and start liking it. This could be positive, e.g. building tolerance, perhaps to a new food, embracing opposing viewpoints, learning to not only put up with but appreciate a ‘devil’ you work/live with as their own person instead of just thinking of how they annoy you. It could also be negative, e.g. Stockholm Syndrome as thought of by another comment on this post (the one criticising the phrasing of “fix” with association to toxic relationships, albeit that was referring to the original phrase, not the hell to heaven one) or becoming indifferent / blind / nihlistic / cynical about the problems of your society and choosing to ignore them to instead live in a false, rose-tinted heaven.

from your comments and clarifications, and what little I know of Jung’s original phrase, I think you intended l to be inspiring / encouraging, so I imagine you’re trying to either convey some message along the lines of:

• the bad times will end given enough time
• you can accomplish great things if you endure suffering for long enough
• there’s joy to be found even in places you initially find only despair

Unlike the other comment, I don’t think you should be overly concerned with the exact words that you use, as most phrases like this are at least partly idiomatic, i.e. they’re not meant to be self-explanatory, you’re meant to tell people what they mean when you teach then the phrase. This also means you shouldn’t feel too bad about bad english, as lots of english phrases don’t make sense out of context.

I think your original phrase is really good, as well as the alternative that you made. I’m not writing this to try to pressure you to make it “better” because it’s already perfect as is, I just don’t fully understand it as is and would like to hear more about what it means to you :)

This is my first time hearing the phrase in sterquiliniis invenitur. I couldn’t find much about it besides it being attributed to Jung, its translation (it will be found in filth) and a Jordan Peterson talk. I didn’t care to watch the latter because although he does seem to engage in real academia sometimes I don’t find him reliable (go figure, I’m on Lemmy. I imagine there’s a small p-value for correlation between lemmings and not being a Peterson fan). Would love to hear more about what it means to you and how it inspired you, and more detail on what you wanted your phrase to convey.

Actually, 50% of people are less intelligent than the median. 99% of people could be smarter than average with just 1 extra stupid dumbfuck. In today’s day and age, there are a few prominent contenders for that position.

I’m a zoomer. I don’t fully get it. It’s funny! You ever read something and do a double take bc you thought you misread it but no, this very official print document/book etc left in a massive grammar mistake, and you laugh to yourself? A lot of zoomer memes are just silly. It’s like abstract art, you’re meant to enjoy the things that break the joke as well as those that make it work. Although, to be honest, another part of why I often don’t get these types of jokes is because they’re communal. They’re very isolated from other online cultures but often depend a little bit on reference to other jokes within the subculture.
