  5. In my new YouTube #video, I tell the #hypothetical story of a #Histiostomatidae #mite that lived its #lifehistory in the #dung heap of the #dinosaur #Edmontosaurus #annectens during the Late #Cretaceous. It developed #fungivorously within the dung and, when conditions deteriorated, was #transported by #flies to a new habitat (phoresis). All images and footage created with #AI assistance, except photos of free-living mites.

  10. Through the discovery of magic, you can now permanently rid yourself of the need to do one of these things. Your body will function just fine without doing it and there isn't a surprise negative effect or anything. Which do you pick?

  11. #people spend a lot of time being against #hypothetical #genocides and #concentrationcamps instead of the ones that are actually happening right now

  12. Honestly, time is infinite in the Star Trek Universe and it explains why they've kinda peaked.

    Think about how many episodes there are where peoples minds are trapped in The Life Time Simulator :tm:

    Isn't it crazy how that's almost always done to torture people? Why the shit don't Starfleet cadets get slapped into one of those for a day and come out with the wisdom of Fleet Admirals?

    "Oh nothing beats the human experience. School is about the connections we make!"

    Yeah okay now give me the box that let's me repeat math courses infinitely until I understand all of math then I'll go get stabbed in a Dom-Jot game by Nassicans to get "the full experience".

    Seriously, what are the downsides to this society? I bet worst case we discover that brains have hard limits to storage space and we have to specialize. Maybe a whole industry of 1 day PHD programs and mind wipes. So if you need to be a Xenobiology expert in one mission and then a Chief Engineer the next you just have to sacrifice a day to getting your mind wiped and another to filling that space with all of it.

  13. You end up in a situation where you can trade items back and forth with people who are living in post apocalyptic alternate universes. They can send you (probably broken) future/alt-reality tech, or really anything else they have on hand, but they want stuff in return, things they can't easily get.

    What do you send them?

    My answer is I'd start at the corner store, canned and fresh food.

  15. You have exactly 1 minute, to say whatever you want, to the world, before you're dragged into a small cell, locked away from everyone you know, with no way to contact any family & you are told - you have only 1 minute to say anything you want.

  16. Looking for the #Wisdom of the Masses

    Let's say hypothetically I have a Pentium 4 Box with PCIe but no way to plug a GPU in (power, PCIe slot is fine) and I want to turn it into a Streaming Thin Client (Steam, GFN, Moonlight, etc) for 4k120Hz under Linux or Windows

    What GPU should I get?

  20. Not that I didn't laugh my ass off, and not that he didn't deserve to get shellacked in front of the press corps, but if I were on Obama's writing staff, I'd have toned down the Trump ownage a bit in hindsight. I'd be ok with BO taking #trump aside and just viciously excoriating that mothball-smelling mfer in close range though.

    Then again, if I were peer of Fred Trump's back in the day, I also would have extolled the virtues of non-vaginal sex to him non-stop.

    I've always seen them marketed as "hair shears"?

    At 8, my guess would be it would either take multiple poundings of the shears to get past the spinal column bones for purposes of damaging the cord barring extreme luck. Especially from the back. An initial penetration might be augmented with a whack from a modestly-heavy blunt object to push them deeper. The front of the throat would have less bone to contend with and could more readily penetrate an artery with much less strength/force requirement.

  23. Just going to hypothesize something here... for posterity and accountability to weird strategic thoughts I have when I try to channel this Musk creep. The tech-bro's have already taken over. That is why they are now sending the DOGE teams with armed escorts and guns to smash small offices of the government. Trump is the vindictive figurehead. It's the tech lords running the show, and they're going to do a deal with China to get rid of Putin.

    🇨🇳 🇺🇸 🔀 🇷🇺

    I'm open to the possibility of something beyond shocking happening. There have already been rumors of revaluing the gold at Fort Knox, restructuring the debt, a national cryptocurrency...

    What about, a merger / joint venture with China and the US becomes a total one-party state, USA Inc. They'll leave the illusion of elections, and the Dems will continue to be the useful idiots as they have been for a decade.

    The game is no longer Dem vs. Rep. There will be no normal midterms. The struggle at the top is between the Christian Nationalists, the technofascist (Nation State) crowd, and the MAGA base that Bannon leads. Think of Bannon's people as the brown shirts they'll eventually use to silence dissent.

    Imagine a chip-access deal or some sort of organized takeover of Taiwan (stripping the island of its sovereignty in Trump fashion) over a set period of time for USA, Inc. to be able to scale semiconductor fabs.

    The culture war is a distraction. The rich are stealing the future. :earth: :NoNazis: :ExtinctionRebellion: :NonCommercialUS:

    «
    “Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?”
    “Supposing it didn’t,” said Pooh after careful thought.
    Piglet was comforted by this.

  32. A weird but interesting alternate reality: Windows 3.0 didn't get any approval by Microsoft. Windows got cancelled. Microsoft continues working on NT OS/2 3.0. OS/2 became a true successor to DOS.

    Fast forward to 2021. IBM announces OS/2 15.0. Designed for x86-64 only. Advanced features, and stuff. Now available on ThinkPads starting November 2021.

    Hi, SocialWorlds. Your post ended in my “Home” timeline probably because of the #information(en) hashtag, and even if I don’t speak German it looked interesting so I “had” to translate it and respond. Hope you don’t mind :-)

    #Distinction of #undecidable #questions in #known and #unknown #conditions of their #relevance.
    #hypothetical / #factual
    #Factually meant as a #question for #data as not yet known #information
    #known / #unknown
    In the case of #functional systems such as #economy, #religion, #art and #politics, only #facts are missing. How they are to be #understood is #clear.
    In the case of #meaning and #ecology, #decisive #factors are #unclear.

    In my opinion #data=#facts. You can’t argue about facts the same way you can’t really argue about the “hard data” (numbers, graphs) in front of you.

    What you can argue about is the interpretation of that data, or the different private #information every one of us will extract from the same set of data (facts) in front of us. What information is derived from the data depends on the different #knowledge(s) each one of us has about the world.

  35. Interesting. Thus far, it's 0% votes for "a change of clothes." Maybe some ppl figure that after 10 yrs' time, if the ONE outfit they were wearing deteriorates, they can just fashion clothing out of plant fibers. Nothing says "island chic" like wearing the latest in "palm frond" fashions to protect you from the elements.🤣 #poll #humor #interesting #results #pollresults #humannature #hypothetical #island #scenario #desertisland #desertedisland #clothing #outfit #fashion #survival #survivalskills
