I really like the detail of the kid saying "he's big and loud" and cutting to the Allosaurus quietly stalking

The Lost Wild is coming to PS5 and PC in 2027. True fear is primal.

To see our game featured at this year’s State of Play, alongside so many other titles is a genuinely surreal moment for us. We’re so proud of our team who got us here. Thank you to everyone who kept believing in us, and our vision of #thelostwild

@MerriamWebster I’m so gusted to finally have a sipid word for this!
English
We hope this post about orphaned negatives makes you gruntled.
An ‘orphaned negative’ is a word that SHOULD feel like it has a related word, but doesn’t.
‘Nonchalant’ is an orphaned negative because there is no ‘chalant.’

@games_inu Dying to know how you get on with 5.8 in just under a thousand years!

If one God created itself, why can't multiple have created themselves? If one God always existed, why can't multiple have always existed?
If the answer is only one God always existed or created itself, then why can't this universe be that which always existed or created itself?

@ChoochSkookum Monotheists are funny, because they don't realize the existence of a single creator god requires another god to create him, who requires another god to create him, and so on.
All roads lead to an infinite regress of countless gods.
English
Polytheists are funny because they dont realize the existence of multiple gods requires a singular Creator God. Otherwise who created them?
It shows they stopped short in their thought process
All roads lead to a singular Creator.

@1929stockcrash I love that you went to great lengths not to inconvenience people. Just like the rats, you run this city nocturnally.

@engineers_feed I immediately have this weird sense that these numbers are awkward because of their shared relationship with two. You can take two from the 37, add it to the 48, and then you have the simple sum of 35 + 50 = 85.
English
What happens in your head when you add 37+48?

@Pixie1z What my Ma cooked when we were a bit poor: A
What I wanted when we were a bit poor: C
What I want now: B

@QuetzalPhoenix The best way to follow this protip is to use the term "my favorite."
English
Protip: If you ever want to start an argument online, just use "the best" instead of "my favorite" it literally does not matter what you are talking about, go ahead try it out

@CrowofLove1 @cjsnowdon I take your point. It's consistent with what I said.
I hope no-one reading this ever has to come into contact with the NHS's shortcomings. As Brits, many know it can fail us and our loved ones.
The Olympics is an example of us pandering to the world's perspective of the NHS.
English
@DavidFoster @cjsnowdon The people who clapped for the NHS during covid, like they were in some weird cult, took it a level above admiration.
And then there was this display at the 2012 Olympics:

@LionCub888 @LeilaHormozi You're right, but the best analogy I've found that elucidates why this is a probabilistic reason error comes from @ATabarrok

Alex Tabarrok@ATabarrok
Since the probability of a girl child is 1/2 you only need to have two kids to be guaranteed a girl.
English
@LeilaHormozi You should learn statistics again.
It's like saying "you should buy lottery tickets over and over. It will increase your chance of winning."
Wrong. Common sense and math are not the same.
English
Becoming successful is not luck. It’s math.
If your probability of success is 1/100 and you try 100 times, you have a 100% chance of success.

@ofcrdeonjoseph Incredible commentary. Utterly captivating.
Random thought: why is it that basically every human intrinsically roots for this bunny? We're ecstatic, all celebrating that our team won when bunny got away.
As the apex predator on Earth it's a nice thing that we think this way.

I was 100% captured by this. 🤣🤣🤣. Great commentary. Way to go rabbit.

@ATabarrok This is such a wonderful, concise, psychologically vivid example of this class of probabilistic reasoning error. Thank you for this gift.

@bluewmist A men’s option: an exquisite Autumn/Winter coat. Seriously, spend like $1000 on one of these things. For one, they cover 70% of your body so you’re most of the way towards looking completely slick. They last forever, they keep you warm, they make you feel great about yourself.

@Noone1137202 @Math_files For sure. Given Ramanujan’s track record of absolutely miraculous feats of revealed truth of mathematics, I actually thought it was possible he found an integer here via some dream revelation from the goddess Namagiri or something.
English
@DavidFoster @Math_files Almost an integer, impressive he managed to find something so close

@Real_shadmxtgp Gotta be Spain, right? S + Pain?
Can't lie though: I played around with bonkers ideas like S + Sit Knee = Sydney. Weird to include a chair and sitting if the key concept is merely pain!

@lifelikedrone @Rainmaker1973 One society dies at rates of ~20% to homicide, infanticide, or accidents, and ~65% to infectious disease or parasitic illness. Lifetime maternal risk of dying in childbirth is ~7.5%.
Human-caused extinction is awful, but I'm siding with whatever team minimises human suffering.
English
@Rainmaker1973 The society on the right preserves the earth in it's most natural state. They live amongst nature rather than destroy it for their selfish ends.
The society on the right doesn't lead to extinctions of fauna and flora, the destruction of the ozone, or the need for a new planet
