  • Many physicians tried to promote hygiene and were laughed out the park, nobody believed them. Apart from the correct idea, you also need to be able to convince people and it's not that easy

  • I spend way too much time thinking about this very topic.

    I think I am somewhat well informed, so I've been thinking how well I would do in different eras. Of course in these scenarios I assume I can learn the language and communicate with the people of the past.

    Anyway, I came to the conclusion than apart from some very specific advances, I'd do very badly. The vast majority of technological discoveries require an already well established base of knowledge and a society to carry it. You can't singlehandedly kickstart the agrarian revolution early, it requires generations of plant knowledge. Same goes for stuff like metalworking, unless you can easily find soft metal ore and build a furnace out of primitive materials, you are boned - I could maaaaybe find iron ore in certain places, and maaaaaybe build a very basic bloomery, but at that level (amount of material and labor) it's next to useless, unless I somehow get everybody to blindly follow my vision.

    And it just follows like that, for ages on. Maybe I could get something like electricity going a hundred or two hundred years early (I know how to make a rudimentary magnet, or we could use a lodestone. With access to copper and other metals, I can work my way up. But sadlly, I know almost nothing about chemistry which was extremely important for early electric science), but that's only if there is any actual interest for it - and I don't really think there would be a lot of it back then, the main use would just be lighting for lords and rich people.

    So, in the end, it turns out development IS kinda dependant on material conditions.

  • New York's case that Steam lootboxes are "gambling" is a free speech violation that "will have an impermissible chilling effect on protected videogame design", argue Valve

  • Vampire Survivors had it, kinda. It was just miniboss drops, random, like a typical hack and slash, but opening a chest looked like a silly slot machine animation jacking straight into my gambler brain (I don't actually gamble - I have many other bad habits but I realized I might be wired dangerously back when I played cards for small sums of money with my classmates as a teenager. So I actively swore off gambling and never fell for it, apart from "fake" gambling in video games, where I'm always reminded of why I shouldn't touch it in real life)

  • Some reality TV like Love is Blind or Love Never Lies. It's the lowest if the lowest tier trash, but the inane drama requires virtually zero brain function to watch, so my gf and I put it on while eating dinner sometimes. I am not even trying to sound "above it" or anything, I believe 99% of people who watch it, do so for the same reason as us. But it IS entertaining in the most dirty way, and also works well as background noise when we're chatting or doing other stuff.

  • waow

  • I have no idea about the hellstate, but in many european countries, you finish highschool at 19. 12 grades, from age 7 to 19. Could be a similar setup

  • It's all done except for a few minor bugfixes. Release date is this Friday.

  • What's the worst ACTUAL movie you've ever seen?

    Jump

  • Eragon. It was absolute dogshit. I saw it when it came out because my friends and I liked the books (we were young, don't judge), and while we were expecting trash, it was even worse. Nothing about that movie was good. Total drivel.

  • to be fair, hydraulic brakes with power steering dead would be a tall order to stop a fucking 3000 kg rust bucket too

    I had a tiny ford focus power steering fail on a muddy, but flat road and it was pretty scary

  • This reminds me of Ursula Le Guin's "bag theory": that the first tool humans developed, was not a weapon which is usually taught, like a spear, but rather, a bag, to carry things: for example for berries we picked. A nice reframe from the violent status quo.
