must be so weird to be a plant. you've outsourced sex to creatures that look nothing like you. your flowers need to be attractive not to your opposite sex but to an alien species

@VarshneyVardhan this conclusion only holds if players are not playing repeated games the fact that this does hold implies that most players of the game (i.e the general indian public) are generally short-term payoff-seeking and do not sufficiently value future game outcomes

payoff for the individual, regardless of the action chosen by other players. This payoff/utility is generated as a result of the realization that the individual will not be fined for it, and that the ‘hard work’ required to find a nearby dustbin has been avoided. +

If you analyze the whole situation using the lens of game theory, you would come to the conclusion that littering public spaces is a dominant strategy and filthy streets are a Nash Equilibrium outcome of the same. Littering is a dominant strategy because it generates some+

@simransvault @IndianTechGuide could be true but eh, seeing lots of anomalies. have no way of confirming accuracy without going through methodology

@IndianTechGuide @weaseltoad andhra is surprising here

an essential frustration of modernity is that success within the system is largely conditional on wanting things that I have never really wanted

Ironic - as a child, I was enthralled by the WWE..... yet today, it is I, who must "wrestle mania"

@simransvault happy new year!!

@weaseltoad happy birthday @weaseltoad

happy birthday dingus!!! i love you!

@WorkflowWhisper builder

Okay, I found this INSANE app that builds any n8n workflow in plain English. and its non of those bs mcps or claude set ups that dont work. Why? Because it actually has REAL-TIME n8n documentation baked in. Not some outdated 2024 bullshit. and it is doesn't take 3 hours to set I just told it: "build me a workflow that scrapes competitor prices and undercuts them automatically" 17 seconds later: WORKING WORKFLOW. Ready to deploy. While you're still googling "n8n webhook authentication error"... Someone else already built, tested, and shipped 5 automations using this thing. The craziest part? It knows EVERY node, EVERY integration, EVERY edge case. Your $5K consultant is about to shit themselves when they realize a free tool does their job better. I'm not gatekeeping this one. Comment "BUILDER" and I'll DM you the link. (Following required for DMs) The automation game just changed forever.

one of my more out-there intuitions is that ancient religions repeatedly came up with "god" as a social technology not to enable large-scale coordination via shared civilizational myths but to primarily help the individual come to terms with the burden of agency in a hostile env

@ftlsid one of the most moving books i've ever read

from "Endurance", Alfred Lansing. this part is about Shackleton's crossing of the Drake Passage in an open boat

"sufficiently provoked, there is hardly a creature on God's earth that ultimately won't turn and attempt to fight, regardless of the odds"

hanging posters in your room is the modern manifestation of the same deeply instinctive millennia old pagan impulse for idol worship. domesticated beaver making a dam with pillows

programmers don't realize that this is exactly their PM's relationship to them.

@ftlsid keep us posted

developing new techniques to systematically dismantle social conditioning, I think this is the ultimate source of muscle tension, wish me luck

@Condiment20 …so you’re saying it’s just a matter of semantics (you set me up for this one)

@weaseltoad You're using semantic incorrectly here in a way so subtle and so profound that I can't even correct you and i can't even move on

if you can't stand music with lyrics while working you're likely a wordcel; your reasoning processes are primarily verbal in nature and exogenous semantic load interrupts them

never forget this

@Condiment20 same with sparrows and hornbills

Just realised it's been years since I've seen a snail. Where did they all go? I love snails,I love their spiral little shells(their fearful symmetry) I love their gummy little translucent bodies.They seem really peaceful to me. French people have gone too far.Have they set snail?

@beetlescreams who

oh boy someone’s on fire today!
