This may be a trivial question, but did you just ask friends to take a picture of you while you were hanging out? I don’t upload pics to social media so I’m kinda embarrassed to do that, but I suppose there’s no other way?

As for pics of doing stuff, I wish I did “photogenic” stuff :/ Closest I can think of is a pic of me reading a book, is that pretentious?

You should not rinse chicken (or meat) in the sink, it’s a) useless if you cook them properly (as in, not eat them raw), because that will kill the bacteria and b) potentially harmful because you’ll splash around the bacteria on your sink/utensils etc where they will remain dangerous since they won’t be cooked.

idk what the original commenter meant, maybe he missed a negation and wanted to say that white people rinse their meats when they dont have to? because that makes more sense to me

you’re asking a third party to confirm the equivalent of ‘water is wet’

You didn’t downright say that they lie about being PoS, but you said that a third party must confirm it, which is an equally bonkers statement. You can check my reply to the other commenter for a small explanation on why that’s true.

I will not spend hours of my time researching and writing a detailed reply for someone that thinks PoW can be masked as PoS. I know the fundamentals of software engineering and blockchains, and those are enough to explain why you should take the devs word about ethereum being PoS. How the staking mechanism works is irrelevant for this discussion.

Maybe I should’ve included the small explanation in my first reply, but given the other commenter’s attitude I doubt it would matter.

It’s a fundamental part of the blockchain. In PoW you have to constantly run a mining program on your computer. In PoS you designate an amount to stake (by smart contract, if I’m not mistaken) and that’s it. How would the ethereum devs (or whoever else) run PoW without telling anyone? Who would pay the electricity bills?

People should be skeptical, but within reason. No investigation, no right to speak and all that.

It’s capitalist apologia when I correct you on something? Give me a break.

I stand by my original tone, I stated that you have no idea what you’re talking about, which is true, without attacking you with names, expletives etc.

I think it’s super dangerous to take the developers’ word on their product. Probably it’s literally POS, but I’m not gonna believe all the hype without a disinterested confirmation.

If you believe a coin on the scale of Ethereum can lie about whether it’s proof of stake or work, you have no idea what you’re talking about.
