Cows can only be female. So, only cows can give birth & produce milk. They’re cattle. Mature males are bulls. Mature females are cows. Maybe it’s just because most of our experiences are with cows, that we think of the entire species as being cows. But that is absolutely not the case.

"No Nation Older Than 250 Years"
Gebidozo 2 months ago
The ridiculous stupidity of the original post aside, the concept of a “nation” is notoriously vague and tricky to define, considering how many diverse political, geographical, ethnolinguistic, and cultural aspects it attempt to amalgamate. Among all the modern nations, I think China is the closest to passing most antiquity tests. It has definitely been a nation in every sense for at least 3000 years.
BeesEelsAndPups 2 months ago
I'm pretty sure if you can supply a large enough number of caveats we can make this statement true. For instance, while China has been a nation for nearly 3000 years, the current political system has only been in place since 1949. In another example, the United Kingdom of Great Britain was founded in 1707 with the Treaty of Union, but it has only included the Northern Ireland since 1801. I mean these are super insane caveats, as the nations within the United Kingdom go back to at least the 10th century (depending on how you define nation). Egypt has been a nation since around 3000 BCE, 1952 CE, or 2014 CE depending upon how you define things. It's a really dumb post though, you're right about that.

The subreddit has grown to hundreds of thousands of users over time and is now one of the default locations for humor that blurs the cringe-comedy line.

Which bible are you talking about? For starters, in the English bible Scripture says: “God created man in His own image, in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them”
Forrest Hobbs 2 months ago (edited)
Pieter LeGrande: you're quoting a translation based on translations - written to have poetic impact rather than literally reproducing the meaning in the source translations. In any case, just before that verse, Genesis 1.26 says "Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." - so God, in their own voice, is not claiming any séx. Given that God is represented in the Bible as an absolutely unique, omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, "being" which pre-existed everything else in the universe and indeed created the universe, it would be very strange for God to have anything identifiable as a séx or gender.

In my family we have a house rules in Scrabble: if you can explain why a word should exist of should be spelled that way and the other person thinks your idea actually kinda makes sense, you're allowed to use that word/spelling. As far as I'm concerned stand-office and trenchal both make enough sense to be allowed.
There's also a feeling of communal reassurance. As you scroll through the thread of unapologetically incorrect opinions, you can't help but feel just a little bit smarter by comparison. It's not sinister, exactly, it's more or less a harmless ego stroking. You might not know advanced physics or obscure trivia, but at least you’re not out here insisting with authority that “penguins are a type of plant.” The internet thrives on making people feel like part of an in-group, and laughing together at outrageous errors creates that bond.

That's The Language 570 Million People Speak In *Latin* America

I had an argument with my stubborn father the other day because he said his high school Latin teacher was perfectly fluent. I argued that as the language hasn't had a native speaker in millennia, how are we to know that we are even pronouncing words correctly?? And what about slang & non grammatically correct stuff? We just take a stab at it really. He is a very smart man but once he digs his heels in...🙄 I couldn't convince him of this & his Latin teacher was perfect.
Judes 2 months ago
I don't think fluency requires a native accent. Many people are fluent in English, but do not have one of the many native speaker accents. And knowing slang is also not required for fluency. Fluency just means you are easily able to express yourself in that language. So, I'm with your dad on this.

Dave Baxter: plenty of people have a pretty good idea how Latin was pronounced by some ancient Romans. You can work out a lot from various written sources. The thing is, "ancient Rome" covers a huge time period - over 1200 years - and a huge geographical area as well. The English I speak has diverged a long way from the language Alfred the Great used approximately 1100 years back.

Rule
Verena 2 months ago
Okay, this might be obvious for native daily speakers. But if English is a language you need to learn, the grammar books explain: I, you, he/she/it = singular; we, you, they = plural, plus any variation to indicate relation to persons or objects. For a non-native speaker the only logic to use "their" (as in plural) in above case is: He/she = he or she = 2 options for a person = plural. If the gender is clear, it sounds very odd to use the plural form as in "Joe owns a car. It is their car." A non-native speaker learns "It is his car".

Apparently Women Lose Their Autism After Having A Kid

Metric System At It Again
Jrog 2 months ago (edited)
Eh, it's complicated. The software was metric because it was easier to code. Anything else was in imperial units. All the Mercury, Gemini and Apollo hardware was designed to specs in inches/pounds. The Shuttle was designed in imperial units, but they were "weird" because most of the design was made in metric units (for integration with international cooperation projects) and then converted to inches; so, they ended up with a lot of 64th in their fractions and plenty of mils on the sensitive stuff (.001 inch). After the 1999 Mars Orbiter f*ckup, all the recent projects (ISS, Artemis, SLS, Orion etc) have been in metric. Some subcomponents are derived from previous projects and may still be manufactured in imperial units, but anything critical has been switched over.
Forrest Hobbs 2 months ago
Jrog: I've read - I don't recall where - technical specs for the Mercury and Gemini programmes. From what I recall, they specified pressure in inches of mercury and inches of water as well as PSI, depending on the precise application. I've come across a reference to pressure specified as 8 mm Hg just now (excessive CO_2 partial pressure, SEDR 109-7 2-10, pg 60 of the PDF file Mercury Flight Operations SEDR 109-7 from https://www.ibiblio.org/mscorbit/document.html). That document sometimes specifies pressure as psia or psig (psi absolute or psi gauge) and sometimes doesn't bother to specify which one it's talking about. It's a *mess*...

The Apollo missions got to the moon because NASA was very, very careful about quality control and testing. Any system of measurements will do, if everything's properly calibrated and everyone knows what they're doing and no-one gets confused or ignores instructions (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Climate_Orbiter#Cause_of_failure). It just so happens that the USA never adopted the Imperial system of measurements and legally redefined US customary units in terms of metric standards in 1893: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mendenhall_Order. So; the Apollo mission used units which were all calibrated in terms of metric units - sounds crazy, there you go.

I mean, they's sorta-ish accidentally right about animations. the jump for render time from 30-60fps is a bit intense. Well, they were, but then they kept talking and it just got progressively more wrong with every word.

All the ones in stores, certainly. It's really hard to find natural sea sponges anymore. And even scrubbies that say they are walnut shells or some such are still half recycled plastic, it's still f--king plastic when it's recycled and I wish it wasn't going into my aquifer!

Honestly, I figured it was just a typo. I can't say it's a COMMON typo, but if appropriately sleep deprived I could see accidentally typing prescription instead of description. Mental lapses happen.

In what way does reading about the periodic table help someone comprehend the anomalous expansion of water? What was the thought process here?
Emilu 2 months ago
Gotta agree with that, Star! If someone threw the periodic table at me I'd be all ... "sure, there are different letters there. And?" (Gimme a break; I was a (shitty) biology student 🤣)

Just look at à glass of water with ice cubes in it. No need to invoke the periodic table.

How would that help? Are you referring to the fact that ice floats?

The answer is as simple as which one floats to the top in your glass.

Some Would Say Its Not All Black And White
Gebidozo 2 months ago (edited)
Disgustingly racist statement, yet the rulers of most ancient Egyptian dynasties were, in fact, not black. The one exception is the Nubian Dynasty, which ruled Egypt for a fairly short time when it was conquered by the Kingdom of Kush in the 8th century BC. Those were undeniably Sub-Saharan Africans, probably related to Cushitic peoples (such as Oromo, Beja, Somalis, Afar, etc.), or today’s Nubians, speakers of Eastern Sudanic languages. There is no consensus as to the precise ethnic components of the general population of Egypt, but, according to the DNA evidence, at least the pharaohs were of Middle Eastern (North African and West Asian) origin, i.e. they resembled ethnically today’s Berbers, Arabs, Assyrians, Jews, etc. They weren’t “white” in the sense of “northern European white”, but they were definitely more “brown” than “black”.

lol how exactly is it "disgustingly racist" when you then go on to explain how the statement was in fact correct. There's no moral component to the statement. Modern egyptians are NOT BLACK, despite having a much higher sub-saharan genome than the ancient egyptians. A few years ago Jada Pinkett released a movie presenting Cleopatra as black, which resulted in huge number of activists acting as if it were fact despite the fact that it's long since been confirmed that she was in fact Macedonian Greek. Is it also "disgustingly racist" to call that out as the ignorant stupidity that it is?

There was a whole Nubian dynasty! It was like 1000 years after the pyramids, but legit black pharaohs. Look it up!
iseefractals 2 months ago
Sub-saharan genes didn't start showing up with much significance in egypt until about 1,500 years ago, the last egyptian pyramid was built between 1550 and 1525 BCE. Ancient egyptians were more closely related to the Near eastern peoples, Turkey, Iraq, Lebanon, Israel, Jordan and Syria, while also being conquered and ruled by Greeks and Romans among many others.

Science Isn't For Everyone
Jonas Fisher 2 months ago
I can't even tell which person is less correct. Strictly speaking, there are no scientific facts. That's a huge strength of science. If the sun came up in the west tomorrow, scientists (after a moment of panic) would just roll that new piece of information into their facts about the universe and start figuring out where they went wrong.
Anthony Elmore 2 months ago
A moment of panic being cataclysmic seismic events caused by the earth switching rotational directions in less than a day. I don't know the specifics, not a geologist nor a physicist, so I could be wrong on this one, but I feel like the impact that this might have on the earth's liquid core would be somewhat harsh.

Theory is where the majority of the thing has been proven but there's some fiddly details to sort out.
iseefractals 2 months ago
Its more than that though. The word theory is used in the context of science because science views everything as a work in progress. We don't know what we don't know. That all evidence points to a specific conclusion, that we can repeat experiments to prove that conclusion does not mean that we won't discover something new, tomorrow, next week, next year or in the next one hundred years. Scientific theories basically mean "The facts as we understand them at this specific moment in time" Everything is subject to new information.

There's other ways, but yeah, in general, although not only 'fossil' fuels, and it's not a questio of 'correctly', it's more like 'fully', in that the most common process is where the oxygen is limited. Respirators are not specific to CO, CO2, smoke or any other fumes, they're to supply breathable air in any situation.

... and open space fire ... is employed in an engine? Do I read this right? I might have to give back my Diploma, then, because I specialized in internal combustion engines, and I was pretty sure, until now, that the fire involved there does not burn in an open space, but the very function of the machine requires it to take place in a tight space, with limited and coordinated connections to the outside world. That are closed during combustion, all of them. Obviously, I was wrong, didn't pay enough attention or so, because that, I gotn't.
