Still trying to get a Play Store page with stats onto my AI Impact page, but if their numbers are anything like Apple's (and they're likely much higher), then it's a tough life for them right now: https://vester.si

I made this bodily oddities page and posted it last week. The response has been great! I now have a very odd dataset on my hands of what people's bodies sometimes do. What stood out from the submissions from readers was how many differ

To address all of the peer comments at the same time: I don't know. There are places where men dancing is gay-ish and that deters them. That's an easy answer, but it's not enough because very progressive countries don't

If you're male (or want to dance as a leader), there are universally not enough of you to go around in partner dancing (with occasional exceptions), so any partner dance you pick you should be well received if you aren't a creep a

I did not expect my weekend and week to be spent on the first page of HN, let me tell you.

I agree, and actually I put that asterisk there all that time ago when I wrote that article intending to put a footnote at the end, and clearly forgot. I meant to say that yes certainly people don't learn in the same way, but the thing

Several, but as the other comment pointed out, Urban Kiz is my main focus, as well as Tarraxo and Zouk.

I've heard these fever dreams referred to as big-small as well. I believe it's the same phenomenon. For me it was pillars from high up above, where they're all the same width, but one is also much bigger at the same time. Har

Generating those has been its own little project inside the project. Many iterations to go.

You've been great with clicking yes/no on the oddities, and providing more examples! I've already added some more, and refined some texts. I'll give it some more attention after I'm home again later today. Thanks to

I started off having an nsfw tag, but it wasn't too populated, and decided for now to not include it. Might revisit.

Ye ye, she is frustrated it's taking so long to learn it. It's so valuable for divers.

I agree, the images will need iteration.

Oh great point this will go on the oddity once I add it!

I can't do it either... Needs a good song or scene or situation to trigger it...

My friend who does free diving would kill to be able to do it! She can't learn it.

Ah great! I'll put it on my list to read up on. Thanks

Not that I know of. But some people so far visiting the site have voted that they do no get hiccups, which is very odd.

Please point out the claudeisms, I want to clear them all. V1 looked like complete Opus slop, but since I make many little sites all the time I can get it to undo a lot of them, one at a time. I just explicitly tell it the aesthetic to avoi

To either my credit or against it, wikipedia provides a lot of the raw data. However that makes you feel. I've been making this list for years as markdown files with a few sentences and links to wikipedia (or xkcd for his visual field

I keep being surprised at both which feelings are universal, as well as which aren't. I think I know the one your'e talking about but from being kicked in the balls... For jumping I might have experienced it playing video games an

I'm sorry this seems terribly HN of me to not answer your question and go on a tangent, but consider a retreat. If you want to give it a serious try, it's night and day compared to doing it at home for 20 minutes a day, especially
