@engineers_feed Assuming there are 80 cubes in the stack (no hidden voids or odd protrusions) and that the final cube must be solidly filled with no cubes left over, you can do it with exactly 5. Yes, I'm serious.

@engineers_feed No, it's topographically known as a torus, there is nothing scientific about topography, it is a priori. Science is empirical. These entirely different epistemologies.

The 3D shape that we know as a donut 🍩 is scientifically named “torus”.

@coloradolocalmf @NickRogersBTL Look through my tweets. I criticize democrats constantly. But I also criticize pussies who make excuses rather than take action. And the world works like this: If you stomp on a small enough fire, the flames go out.
English
@Fauble2000 @NickRogersBTL Out of touch elitist prick thinks the world works the way he imagines. The fake reality you imagine is ruining our nation.

@Fauble2000 The "stealing from artists and putting artists out of work" argument is absolutely 100% neo-Luddism.
English
One of the tactics the anti-AI neo-Luddites have of opposing AI is lying about datacenters. Here's an example: Maine banned datacenters based on the perceived issues of power and water consumption, which were absolutely not an issue! Not that you'd know that from watching the mainstream media... But at least you have me to dig through the story and produce the truth! youtu.be/HkwwmDkzlLY

@fredco1948 You're the one with the belief. You believe, "AGW bad."
I'm saying, "Maybe not."
English
@Fauble2000 We leave 'believing' to idiots like you, mate. No thanks.
English
The presumption that global warming is necessarily bad is an indefensible position predicated on normalcy bias and an appeal to naturalism. It entirely relies on the completely unsubstantiated premise that the natural state on ecosystems is ideal.
English
@coloradolocalmf @NickRogersBTL Look at what you're doing. You litterally drove by a fire you probably could have stopped and are rationalizing that selfish behavior by saying it was more important to get to work on time. Instead of defending your cowardice, buy a fire extinguisher or resolve to be a better man

@Fauble2000 @NickRogersBTL Apparently you're unfamiliar with the concept of having a job & responsibilities which preclude spontaneous attempts at amateur firefighting?

@coloradolocalmf @NickRogersBTL If someone in your family shouted "Help, fire!", your reply would be, "Sorry, but I don't want to be late for work."?

@LPNational Right? I would instantly put in some serious OT or search for a second job. I can handle 80 hour weeks. I've done it. But I can't stand that they litterally withhold more than half of my extra income when I do.
English
@fredco1948 That's exactly the appeal to naturalism I'm pointing out. As though the climate of out ancestors (whom mostly lived in far more tropical regions) is applicable to modern society, who live in more temperate climates and with air conditioning and swamp coolers.
English
@Fauble2000 Your statement is BS. Homo sapiens is around for 300000 years. Unprecedented rise of CO2 is NOT good, AGW denying idiot.
English
@fredco1948 You didn't read this. Dessler spends the whole piece arguing the big heat numbers are misleading, and his methodology never nets out cold-death reductions.

@Fauble2000 🤣🤣🤣 Does showing off your stupidity make you feel good? theclimatebrink.com/p/how-many-peo…

@fredco1948 I couldn't have asked for a more perfect example of what I was talking about. No attempt to justify one's belief, just expression of personal incredulity. Thank you.
English
@Fauble2000 🤣🤣🤣 You don't know what you're talking about do you, Root? Just making dumb shit up.
English
@EneaszWrites I totally agree. If nothing else, the whimsy alone is worth it.
English
@Fauble2000 also an excellent point!
tho I do think we need more batmans anyway 😂
English
been saying we need more Batmans for years

The Batman effect. A female experimenter, appearing pregnant, boarded the train. In the experimental condition, an additional experimenter dressed as Batman entered from another door. Passengers were significantly more likely to offer their seat when Batman was present (67.21% vs. 37.66%). [Francesco Pagnini et al.,"Unexpected events and prosocial behavior: the Batman effect", Nature, 2025]

@fredco1948 Your knee jerk reaction of litterally "AGW is not good." supports my statement. You think it's bad by default. That's the bias I'm talking about.
English
@fredco1948 Some places will have more extreme weather, others will have more consistent weather. Some "extreme weather" can even be good in certain contexts, for example, unprecidentedly high rainfall in formerly arid climates enabling agricultural. Or warmth where it would be too cold.
English
@Fauble2000 You made it up. We get it. And what does 'appeal to naturalism' mean? As opposed to supernaturalism or what? That's some dumb shit. Anyway:

@fredco1948 I submit that the premise is unspoken or subconscious.

@Fauble2000 Your 'premise' is a straw man, fool. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Straw_man
