Entropy is for the most part really badly explained in layman's terms. I think the "disorder" description fails to adequately describe it.

Entropy is better described imo as the tendency of useful...

Entropy isn't really a math thing. I mean, obviously there's a fuck ton of math involved in thermodynamics, but you don't need to actually do the math to understand what thermodynamics is. You just...

Presumably if you're going to set fire to cars and kick up a stink to force an election, there's an alternative worth fighting for. That certainly isn't the case here.

Also, we like queueing more...

Latest PBS... gravity is an entropic force! What does that mean? That gravity is not a force, or even a law of physics, it's just statistically likely,...

Well he didn't get voted in office. The last guy we voted in was Boris Johnson. After he resigned, Sunak lost a leadership battle against Liz Truss, but poor old Liz bit off more than she could chew...

ChatGPT doesn't know if aliens eat toast.

If we're like ants to aliens, why the hell would they give us their tech? What the fuck is an ant going to do with a smartphone or a drone? What the fuck is a human going to do with a neutrino...

Well on that we can agree, but I don't find that particularly interesting.

Or it implies a perfect democracy, but I don't think that exists.

On the contrary, it implies the opposite. The government is not the state, it is a party, it is elected, and serves a term before facing another election. The state is an sociopolitical entity,...

I don't believe for one second Liz Truss was capable of dreaming up economic policies that would result in a boom, but I also don't believe for one second that she, or any PM, was/is actually in...

Whenever I feel sad about living in a political shithole, I think to myself "at least I'm not American".

1 vs 1 is instant win for the wolf due to parity, so yeah I'd win just by winning a coin flip. But it would also definitely be because of my skill.

btw, "I don't like raw tomatoes" isn't necessarily a fact. Have you tried sun dried tomatoes? I don't like raw tomato all that much either, but sun dried can be delicious.

Here's a stone cold fact. This guy is talking out of his arse.

An American "scientist" is claiming that to make the perfect cup of tea, you should add...

Yeah fair enough, I'm more inclined to identify as the latter, but even if there exists something that can be called "God", for reasons poop stated, such a God is either nothing more than a creator...

I guess another way to look at it is thus...

The atheist rejects any and all interpretations of God on the basis that he does not believe in a higher power, a creator. There is no God.

The...

I guess I can see where you're coming from, but it's a very small grey area in an otherwise fairly black and white matter of atheism vs agnosticism.

You have a lack of belief in my position...

Interesting take on it but not sure it's accurate. Agnosticism is the opinion that the existence of God is either unknown or unknowable. The latter is an act of faith, but the former is a statement...

Two things. Nobody plays here anymore, and it's now 2024.

It's generally better to identify as agnostic rather than atheist when engaging with a theist, because both theism and atheism are acts of faith, while agnosticism is basically like saying "I haven't...

Well that's not 208 days. Hopefully someone got an email alert to force them to set a new reminder.

I was blabbering how the math didn't check out, that we were three orders of magnitude short of ice.

My mistake was to not convert km to m when considering height of water, which accounts for the...

I hope that got deleted before anyone digested it.

Hi warpe! There's like three of us left who post, and jyms still silently checks in once a month or so in the hope he can boot that guy he hates.

I suppose bigred might still be here, it's hard...
