The sad thing is this might be one of the last times in history that you CAN’T claim this. In 4 years, posting info might be so drowned out by AI garbage that you won’t be able to tell what is real and what is AI using user names from other sites and making racist posts.

Everyone said that the road to the white house runs through Pennsylvania. However, it looks like if Harris gets NC, she can loose Penn. What a turn that the first woman president gets elected because of what a man said on a porn site.

There has to be an LLM trained on Trump rants. You know that youtube that generates endless Family Guy episodes?. Someone should do an “endless Trump speech” that is just 24 hours of Trump perpetually talking nonsense and shifting to different topics.

I hate it when I go to full screen and one of my (100s of) tabs has a youtube short that thinks “Oh, time to start playing again!”

Now I’ll have paused tabs start making noise and I won’t be able to find it until the ad is over.

The daily show put it best: Maybe Trump should put a WALL around his golf course if he wants to be safe.

For those of you mentioning slavery … how do you do slavery while in indefinite lockdown? Doesn’t that keep you isolated in a cell with no contact or material going through the bars besides food delivered by one silent guard?

I feel like there should just be an organization of countries that are not Israel or on the UN security counsel. The United Small Nations. Then they could just do things without everything they propose getting vetoed.

Just ask: If Hezbollah did it to Israelis, what would you call it?

JD: But Germany banned the Nazi symbol! One of the few free speech things I care about!

I like to tell my physics students this story. A man made a perpetual motion device, and dared the community to disprove him. After several had tried and failed, a physics professor looked at the layout of the device. In the center was a permanent magnet. He took reading of the magnetic field strength of the magnet, ran the machine for a day, and then measured the field strength a second time. The permanent magnet was being demagnetized by it’s operation. What the man had done was turned the magnet into a limited fuel source.

This was fine and didn’t violate any conservation laws: the energy for the device was originally from the magnetization process that created the magnet. It actually was quite cleaver. One could just chuck a new magnet in every once and a while and the machine would keep running. The fuel source was also quite small. But, all things must be practical and efficient if they are to be industrally implemented. The process of creating permanent magnets is quite wasteful. The amount of gas needed to generate an electromagnet strong enough to create the permanent magnet was actually more than the gas needed to produce the movement from the perpetual motion device.

Though disproven, the professor said that this was on the right track. “Instead of magnetic storage, while not use electric storage devices like super-capacitors? They are much more efficient, both because they have much less loss in creating them, and because the efficiency of electric generators increases with size - and we have a very efficient electric distribution system that connects us to giant generators already installed in every home.” Soon after, electric cars became a thing.
