The math looks perfectly fine. But when people phrase “half of a quarter” I think they have (1/2)*(1/4) in mind, instead of 0.25/0.5

There are plenty of natural particles colliders, such as black holes or very dense stars, that are way more powerful than our engineered particle colliders, which (observationally) don’t create black holes around them
I’ve been using Wayland on plasma 5 for a year or so now, and it looks like the recent Nvidia driver has merged, so it should be getting even better any minute now.
I’ve used it for streaming on Linux with pipewire, overall no complaints.
Had me in the first half ngl
And that’s why I say “bruh”
I’m probably the only person to not use that word like a frat douche, I just like calling my guy friends bro and I tried calling my female friends bro and they didn’t find that funny so now everyone gets bruh’d
Ddg still has its issues, but it can be useful for avoiding some types of SEO targeting articles
Ruh roh, you just rattled the hive mind
Sure, drugs and fraud surround Bitcoin, but drugs, fraud, and banking imperialism surround the petrodollar
Capitalism rejects solutions to climate change as well
Trusting Humans is literally a security flaw. Any system with trust you can find examples with fraud and abuse from those who held power by holding that trust.
We trusted bankers to invest our money, and some short sold the housing market with that money
I could go on, but trust really is a security issue. Decentralization has its efficiency issues, but saying “Bitcoin uses as much power as the 90th largest nation” is peanuts when you consider the energy inequality that America spends and compare what Bitcoin delivers with that energy versus how much energy centralized banks need to deliver a system that’s easier to fraud
Everything is hackable, even the current form of id we have which is SSN. Decentralized digital ID is orders of magnitude harder to hack, and has even less government control over the ID process. The expectation value to crack modern encryption is measured on eons even if you’re using all the power in the sun and physically perfect efficiency in energy to computation conversion
No one’s paying me anything, and I’m well informed of the civil liberty issues surrounding government IDs in general, let alone digital or paper.
What I am referencing is decentralized digital ID. There is no ominous they or third party who could control you with a decentralized digital ID. We already have a pretty shitty ID system, but a better ID system with less centralized control can exist
The current ID system we have - social security numbers - are infinitely worse. Add 1 to it and it’s another valid SSN. Most of the numbers can be determined with regional info
If it’s decentralized, you’re original point about companies being able to get hacked doesn’t apply anymore
Centralized or decentralized digital ID?
Sorry if I came off cunty tendentious, I work in defense fwiw I just have a lotta hot takes
Yeah but Israel is a colony, so they kind of are the occupiers
Gmail has far worse ads that crawl your inbox. A free service asking me to pay for hosting isn’t the end of the world
How do you know that truth in particular is the answer?
I know, but to me this meme doesn’t make sense to me unless I assume the person reading the math Expression is interpreting its real world application.
25 / 5 = 5 and nobodies head exploded. That’s just evaluating a math Expression. .25 / .5 = .5 is the same. It’s not a “my brain can’t comprehend how to evaluate expressions” as the meme suggests.
However, if someone who doesnt do much algebra thought to themselves “I need half of a quarter”, then I could understand why their brain might “hurt” as the meme suggests, for a similar reason why adding 20 degree Celsius water to 20 degree Celsius water doesn’t make 40 degree Celsius wate
I’m probably reading into it too much, but the meme just doesn’t feel like a “mind fuck that keeps me up at night”. I’m looking for reasons to try and explain it, but it’s just a math expression at the end of the day
