Are you familiar with the concept of social media? Thats not a new thing, literally all of them are built on it.
Yeah, would love to see him, Eric Weinstein, Terrence Howard, Eric dubay, James tour, and Billy Carlson stuck in a room that they can't leave until they can prove one of their worldviews to be plausible. Would be the most entertaining thing ever watching them argue while pretending they agree with each other bc they have to pretend they are all thinking the same thing or their whole "mainstream academia" thing falls apart.
The appeal of it (by my understanding, anyway) is that the content is more concise. It does it's thing quickly, and thus allows either briefer sessions with it (elevator ride, waiting for your food, etc.) or a session the same length but with a larger variety of content. With an algorithm (which loops doesn't currently have afaik) it also takes advantage of how your brain works in terms of dopamine being released.
Honestly hope they don't aim to be the next TikTok. It'd be better to just be another short form platform and aim for feature parity. If they try to be the same thing they'll fall victim to some of the stuff that makes TikTok and YouTube shorts suck. If they are entirely their own thing but they have close-enough feature parity then they can stand as another option, not just alternative option. For the bad side of that, see YouTube shorts (compared to TikTok). For the good side, see Lemmy (compared to reddit).
I know what colloquial means, but apes cannot be colloquially referred to as monkeys. They are to far removed. You are confusing something being colloquial with something being a common misconception, that many people do not understand taxonomy at a middle school level does not make it a correct statement. Also, colloquial generally refers to how "proper" the language is being spoken (including the usage of slang and stuff like that), and not the factual correctness of it.
I wouldn't ever use it but yeah that'd be pretty nice. Especially for uploading stuff since you can't record straight from the app anyway.
It's ok for how early it is but it needs a lot of work still (and content)
Should be illegal to have touchscreen controls in a car, it requires you to look at it to effectively control it, which means the car forces you to ignore the road to do anything.
We evolved from the same species as monkeys did, not from monkeys. They weren't actually monkeys until they were already very far removed from us. However, given that we are apes and thus there was at some point a human ancestor species that was ape and was not human the rest of that is right. Off the top of my head that species would probably be our last common ancestor with other apes. Edit: typo, I had spelt monkeys as monkies
what happend to baganaia
(sorry if I misspelled the name)
In the sprint tonight he was turning the same as the others and just slid to the side and crashed. As far as I can tell it was when he touched the white line but the commentators said it might not have been. What do y'all think?
You can't abolish wealth, it's practically impossible. Instead, close the loopholes that make them that rich.
The only reason voting for a third party doesn't help is because so many of you are too stupid to realize that if you keep voting for Republicans or Democrats then they will stay in control of the country.
Creepy af. Doubt they meant it to sound quite so sinister but still that's too far.
