Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Being asked "Have you gotten the tour yet" upon entering a house for the first time is the adult equivelent of the kids asking: "Do you want to see my room?"

4·3 days agoSigh, at least I’m not alone in my obliviousness. Can i stop beating myself up about it now? How about all those other unrelated past mistakes i made, can i stop beating myself up about those too? Sigh.

Yes, the end result of unregulated capitalism is always power getting concentrated into a handful of individuals while the rest of the planet’s billions of people are effectively in poverty and powerless
true capitalism results in economic singularities and infinite wealth for everyone.
No it doesn’t. I have no idea where you came up with that thought, but it’s totally incorrect. And that’s the entire fundamental basis of your concept, so everything else stemming from it is incorrect too
So your opinion isn’t even wrong, because it’s an opinion about a non-reality

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why is every person involved in a movie listed in the credits?
51·5 days agoAt a bare minimum it’s a way for the studios to make workers feel more satisfied without paying them any more money. So why wouldn’t they do it?

Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•Buying a best-of-album is like giving the artist/label money for a playlist of their songs they created
12·9 days agoNo they’re not, or at least not any more than any other album. If you buy an album, you’re buying the music on that album

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You have an ability that undos the past 24 hours and shifts the world into to a better timeline, but it can fail 50% of the time resulting in an even worse timeline; How do you use this ability?
1·12 days agoDepends on how bad/good the changed outcome would be. And if the amount of change in either direction is also equal then there’s almost no situation when it would be worth doing it.
Like even in a worst case imaginable, since we’re dealing with magic then the result could always be worse. For example let’s say there’s was a global nuclear war that wiped out all life on earth, if you use your power and it’s gives a worsening result then it would be like instead of everyone dying they instead live forever in agony.
There’s no situation where it makes sense to use it if it has a truly equal likelihood of improvement vs. worsening

2·17 days agoInterestingly enough crts didn’t seem to cause a problem, my guess is because the pixel phosphors don’t actually flash off, they fade out. But that’s just a guess

1·17 days agoI still see it in even the most modern projectors, but I’m also able to see the flicker in phones that use pwm dimming which only a very small percent of people can see, so sucks to be me. My eyes seem to work at a much higher image capture rate than most people, which has no apparent benefits, only problems

4·18 days agoI was referring to the spinning color wheel that op was taking about, but yeah the simultaneous three color projector likely doesn’t have that problem
Although i do like math, it’s very easy for me to understand why someone wouldn’t. Just think about any subject that you dislike, and now you know the approximate feeling of someone not liking math
