The angle is having an ingroup. Build a community around absolutely anything and people will come, just so they can belong. Flat earth is just one of these. Flerfers are funny because it’s so absurd, but the same psychology is at play for e.g. the manosphere, local sports teams and anything else if you look hard enough.
And they pay the bills via advertising. Another win for capitalism. Yay.

I haven’t gone that far yet, I always imagined a cordoned-off area of safety. I’m just now realising how stupid I was. I hope you all make it. 🫶

I love J R Gott’s application of the Copernican Principle to the observation of the human race (and anything else). The chances are that you are an average observer of the human race (or anything else) and exist in the 95% range, which gives us between a few thousand and a million years left.
We are almost definitely not going to last. But we will almost definitely last longer than reality TV.

All of them, in a way. We don’t sign on to social rules we just kind of learn them, usually from our parents, then from other kids. Someone who’s never been in an elevator might face inwards. I’m from the North of England. The first time I took a ride on the London tube I was 30ish, and I was completely unaware of the incredibly complex and subtle social rules at play there. I made eye contact and even smiled. I tried to strike up a conversation. This was completely wrong to do, it turns out. I never agreed to be so unfriendly, specifically on the tube, but now, I am.

So anyway to answer your question, the weird requirement to sort of suppress your humanity on public transit in big cities is maybe necessary, definitely not hilarious, but very, very strange.

Solution, get you a girl that’s messier than you. My house is a shit hole, but we are still in love.

“New” data. The old data convinced me just fine

Ah ok. In your first post you said “it has to be AI”, which made me think you were saying the video was fake.

Are you certain that there is a claim that the company responsible for the tripping robot put this out as a piece of publicity?
Because if not, if it was a leak, or taken by someone not affiliated, then it would make sense it’s on the internet.

Or, are you arguing that because there exists a robot which can run reliably at 10 m s^-1, that this one shouldn’t exist?
Because my car goes 0-60 slower than a McMurtry Speirling, and yet it exists.

If your home isn’t well adapted to reject heat, you can use tinfoil to reflect the sun. It’s cheap and incredibly efficient at keeping heat out. It doesn’t look very nice but it works a treat. Just remember if you are covering windows (with anything) that the cover has to be on the outside otherwise some heat will still make it in.

It’s a little more effective than being sarcastic on an internet forum.

Well your reach is actually a lot greater than you think. I can’t find it right now but a recent study suggested your IRL influence is roughly 1-3 million people, friend of a friend of a friend of a friend type stuff. Behaviours course through networks of people you don’t even know. A The most powerful thing you can do as a single human being is to log off.

I don’t know how to stop it.

1. Get off social media
2. Explain why whenever possible.

The cameras and microphones we carry around are not hidden, and one can tell when one is being recorded by them, ninny.

They are trying to portray the correct timeline, obviously.
IRA succeeded and Mark Chapman didn’t. That’s the right way around.

Exactly. Name names or fuck off

Technically, it didn’t disappear at all!

Where’s the 14 Tb claim coming from? I’ve not seen that before, just 6 million pages.

Edit: it looks like Channel 4 news has this scoop, they’ve seen emails from someone in the FBI who claimed there were 14.6 TB of data.
