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

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

I want to see this post that got removed now

Thank you 🥹

I block individuals. I think it can be good to expose myself to the eastern narrative a little since I’m only experiencing a western narrative. As well as eastern shitpost’s since I subscribe to 4chan

A shitpost’s a shitpost damnit

It was very helpful for me. I have trouble working out now however. Funnily enough, I tried an experimental ketamine treatment and now that I don’t feel negative it’s harder to make myself exercise

Even our ads are unpaid and FOSS

I can add, podman was ignored in previous years at my day job because there were some reliability issues either with GPU access or networking I forget, however these issues have been resolved and we’re reimplementing it pretty much effortlessly

Web3 is more about smart contracts and alt coins, you didn’t address my point

So why not do the same with a bank ledger?

I think part of being a man is not caring what other men define your manliness as.

If you have an idea that “manning up” involves some change in machismo, I think that might be a little toxic. But, if in not caring that your behavior made other men think about, caused friction, and was then interpreted as machismo, that’s better in my book.

If you like the sense of machismo and that phrase helps you as an imaginative aid, then why not. But I think it can be more constructive if you can interpret manliness independent from machismo

Ruh roh, you just rattled the hive mind

I was too nervous to finish a math test. Finished and went up to ask her if I could go. Did it right by her feet.

At the time, I was ashamed. Now, I’m a hero. Thank God most kids didn’t like that teacher.

Well…, by being charming?

I think rust is a very pragmatic choice, lemmy is decentralized, the security benefits are a necessity when it comes to self hosters donating hardware

Right, good point, and yes: it’s much more than just sensory information. And it’s more than just the removal of a filter. There’s no small change in a complex system, especially when that system is the brain

Ive made a lot of music on Lucy. Im really curious what the effects of learning an instrument or languages are when under those conditions

On a less sarcastic note, Shrooms and acid both bind to the 5HT2A serotonin receptor in the brain. This receptor is responsible for filtering out information. Sensory information like the buzzing of the AC or fridge gets filtered out because it’s not useful information, and you’ve heard it a million times anyways. When this receptor is blocked, your brain reverts back to a childlike state because all information is treated like new information because it’s not getting filtered out

Duh just take shrooms
