  • Not that it sounds like you or your friends would, but plenty of non-profits still manage to funnel absurd amounts of money to their owners. So you may want to lean less on saying it’s not possible because of non-profit, but instead not possible due to how you’d run it.

    Notably, OpenAI was originally non-profit.





  • They’re designed for the seat to be sat on. It’s not so much the weight, but where it is, like you said. Not even the properties of the surface you’d be standing on, but that it’s the part not over anything. It’ll cause some rotation-y force the toilet isn’t designed to handle.

    If you have a ruler that’s half on a table and half hanging off, it doesn’t matter if you put an empty cup or a cup full of water on the side that’s on the table, it isn’t likely to fall. Likewise, if you put an empty or full cup on the end hanging off the table, the ruler will fall.









  • Flipping the switch gives you 1, 2, or 4 deaths. It will always end up looping those three numbers, so after an infinite amount of time it has to be one of those three options.

    All three of those options are less than 5, and they occur after an infinite amount of time instead of (relatively speaking) immediately.

    From both a pure numbers perspective and a theoretical minimizing or delaying harm perspective, pulling the lever is the right move.

    Hey, if grandpa is old enough to recognize this one, he probably remembers the attempts by /b/ users to find some definition of “meme” (or at least internet memes) that excluded the garbage that reddit popularized to the point of ending up being shared by “normies” on facebook.

    I get it, it used to be important to me too. Gatekeeping was the point for a lot of people who defined themselves by membership to a sort of secret internet “in-club” when they didn’t fit into any groups or cliques irl. At least, that was the case with me like 18 years ago or so.

    It was never about the literal definition, but about making a definition for “internet in-joke” to create lines of separation between the in-group and the out-group.

    2011? Get off my lawn whippersnapper! I was lurking chan sites in 07 when I should have been underageb& and having a remotely decent time in highschool.

    No one cries for EFG. His name has been long forgotten.

    Seriously, I’m pretty certain EFG was the progenitor to f7u12, and 4chan was pissed that reddit kept stealing their memes and beating them until nothing but a horse shaped hole in the ground remained as reddit kept growing. Pretty sure I witnessed the first advice animal threads too. That little pup with the rainbow background was spammed to hell and back for around a month before it made its way to reddit.
