Wow I definitely wasn't expecting such a detailed explanation. Thanks :)

Unless I'm missing a joke or something I just googled it and it says freezing only makes bacteria inactive. https://ask.usda.gov/s/article/Does-freezing-food-kill-bacte...

The real hilarious conspiracy is how the media latches onto these troll communities with breathless reporting. One of the founding beliefs of the "movement" is that birds aren't real, they're government drones. I can&#x2

Yeah but we're not talking about "the knockout challenge" or destroying milk jugs in the supermarket. Most people don't murder for the lulz and they also enjoy not being in prison for decades. Despite the FUD pushed by p

The guy in this thread being downvoted clearly has a political bias but the part of his argument advocating for access to the raw original length video is reasonable. If youtube wants to disable comments, throw up warnings or blur out gore

There are similar adjacent problems with discord and violation of the terms of service. Luckily most of these groups are tech savvy enough to run their own IRC servers.

The highest profile one is /r/piracy. The illegal sharing part of the subreddit spawned a forum for good general piracy discussion. It was at serious risk of being deleted and had to go to extreme lengths to preserve the community

Isn't this the justification for every kind of moral panic? If we let kids watch sex scenes they'll become prostitutes. If we let kids play grand theft auto they'll shoot up their school. Everything has the potential for neg

There are some non cancerous communities that aren't welcome on reddit. Lots of legal gray area ones that revolve around data hoarding / archiving are constantly threatened and sometimes taken down for piracy. The subreddits try t

Most of that document is redacted. The first key judgment even seems to be in the spirit of my quote, contradicting that there's any real infiltration. Aside from a reference to one specific person and the KKK it's just full of hy

I wish I could find that viral image passed around for decades demanding the ideal à la carte cable tv - just want a handful of good channels not 1000 channels of crap. I guess we got what we wanted but not quite the way we expected.

I keep seeing people say "user error" to these problems as if that's an acceptable answer to a quarter of submitted votes being rejected. These are mistakes that are caught and resolved with in person voting. I'm not in

The relation of an author to his work is only one out of many, and once you accept the idea that one thing to which a man stands related shares in his guilt, you will presently extend it to others; begin by banning his poems not because yo

Saying URI instead of URL may be technically correct sometimes but it does seem needlessly confusing. Almost like it's done intentionally to get smug satisfaction when being asked "what's a URI?" I guess that can be a b

There was an interesting article [0] from a decade ago about a NY agency called "Office of Mental Retardation and Developmental Disabilities." When the agency was established in the 70s the social workers fought hard for the clini

Is there any way to get off the euphemism treadmill? First we had to create new terms because the old ones carried baggage. Now we have to righteously and victoriously claim the old ones because we should be proud of our baggage. Call it ch

Trust me, if you inhaled cigar smoke by mistake while pulling on it you would know. When you exhale you might get second hand smoke through your nose or if you're in a place with bad ventilation.

You should try it and see what you think. I thought of other fancier designs like using "bass kickers" or transducers as a more permanent solution. Honestly though I'm just happy that I found something to help me sleep. If yo

These kind of articles are the worst kind of sensationalist clickbait. Calling the United States the "plague states." Citing past data as predictive when it just links to the author's own opinion articles with titles like &qu

I've been reading good things about KAL magnesium glycinate in various contexts. There seems to be at least 10 different types of magnesium (oxide/glycinate/citrate/etc). Can you recommend any of these in particular?

I'm 30 and just went through the most serious bout of insomnia in my life. It was nothing like the insomnia I read about or saw in media. The crux of my insomnia was anxiety. I was dead tired and sleep deprived but as soon as I laid do

Part of what has kept 4chan relatively unreddit (aside from less aggressive moderation) is knowing that you need something like 4chanx to make it usable.

If someone bought FAANG + MS + TSLA today and compared it to 10 years from now would they beat the S&P? That's basically the point. It's easy to beat the S&P with knowledge in retrospect.

Wow I'm glad you made this comment because I thought I was going crazy. Weird that I can't find it in the archives but I know I read it before.

Something worth keeping in mind is how many fewer people died of other causes compared to previous years [1]. Yes, the data will show an excess number of people died versus previous years but I believe the parent comment is saying we should
