You have to admit, he really destroyed that strawman version of you though.

Sometimes, the point of research is to experimentally prove things we suspect are true.

I think you’re getting downvotes because you’re projecting a narrative onto @Reyali and using quotes around non-quotes. They didn’t say they were “probably not right.”

I agree, everyone should be skeptical of information someone else is sharing, because we can’t assume intention. But what would motivate someone to say “I’m probably not right” anyway?

What’s interesting to me is that for you, your guard went up for someone admitting a potential of having missed something, which may make you more susceptible to people who are confidently wrong.

Most others’ reaction is the opposite, taking their statement as an attempt to be genuine and open to feedback. If someone invites feedback, is willing to admit they might be wrong, that’s a much better starting point for conversation.

I ran out of hands!

The climate change slogan that works: “Yeet the heat!”

I was on a trip just yesterday and saw one for the first time on a picnic table, thanks for sharing!

Sure are a lot of Reagan defenders around here.

“Consent” was not a popular topic on early Reddit. Or the internet writ large, I guess.

As long as you can profit from new data, data scarcity will never end.

This is why I always try “Jenny’s Number” for loyalty programs when I can enter an phone number (Local area code +8675309). A Safeway near me used to offer fuel points with grocery purchases up to $1 discount per gallon. I saved a lot of money in gas for a while, then it seemed Safeway got wise and deactivated those numbers.

The ocean is only marginally explored.

I mean, if we’re being pedantic, traditional cheese did/does use male goats to make baby goats and get milk. We just generally artificially force pregnancy instead.

I feel weird explaining this, but male goats are not used for cheese.

Ha, great skit. Last I visited was for a wedding between a Swede and a Dane, they both claimed the other spoke like they had mashed potatoes in their mouth.

My grandmother took me to her birthplace in Denmark and kept saying she couldn’t speak Danish with the locals, despite having spoken Danish with her family in America semi-regularly. I never thought it was because her vocabulary and accent was stuck in 1940s and she didn’t feel confident speaking that way.

This may be No Stupid Questions, but there sure are a lot of stupid answers.

They’re probably breatharians
