#ShowerThought: Comparing #London's chaotic industrial revolution slums where #Marx wrote, to today's East Berlin urban #Communist utopias and its endless rows of public housing, it's evident that #Marxism isn't so much about "Power to the People" or wealth redistribution, as much as the deep German pursuit of orderliness

#ShowerThought of the day:

You can antagonize someone, but you can't protagonize them.
Why is this not a word?

Today's #computer #nerd #showerthought (extreme cringe warning):

Human conversation are like computer programs... Any time you start talking about/explaining something unrelated, it's like pushing a function onto the call stack. When you ramble on about something and forget what you were originally talking about, it sucks cuz you gotta pop an arbitrary amount until you're in a function you remember calling, and might return early from a function along the way (a lot like throwing an uncaught error... hmm?). Of course, a stack overflow error would be when you go so far off-topic that everyone forgets and asks "how did we even get here?"

What would heap allocations even be? Is it memory-safe? What would a GC be in this analogy?

Hell if I know. :ablobcathappypaws:

#ShowerThought + #SalmonRun

Casual mode for Solo Queue:
No Grillers, no Glowflies
Only one Flyfish per round
Only one Stinger at a time
Guaranteed King Salmonid encounter on clear

HOWEVER:
No points
No scales
No Swag.

All Just for Fun!

#ShowerThought:
Federated search engine/index database for the web.

If it's called #X and the logo is an X, won’t people confuse it with a close button everywhere the logo shows up? And the other way round? 🤔 I wonder how many accidental closes there will be because people tried to “share something on X”. 🤣

If you subscribe the many-worlds interpretation, macro life is probably much the same everywhere, except the one universe where the double-slit experiment always produces results that are useless to science, purely by coincidence.

Probably the entire world would be the same until the early 1900s, at which point scientists studying particle physics would not get very much research done, causing the first macro-scale differences.

Unless...? #ShowerThought

An idle #showerthought :

The internet has been amazing for scaling the spread of information.

But a human being is still intrinsically limited in its capacity for authentic empathy.

If #Dunbar's Number is actually a real thing, then we've created a monstrosity of a problem in exponentially (#Metcalf's Law) scaling the problems we create for ourselves without the ability to add capacity for empathy.

There simply aren't enough spoons to eat all the shit the internet creates.

Reverse alphabet needs it's own name. But what should it be? 🤔

Pondering out loud:
If a fetus is legally considered a person, but the 14th Amendment reads, "All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside."
...Does that mean that all fetuses are illegal immigrants until birth?
Can they be deported?

📚 #Wikipedia Of The #Future

Like Wikipedia now, but matter-of-factly describing things we take for granted now, that in the near future will no longer be.

Like #Space exploration and #Astronomy. Made impossible by greedy billionaires whose legacy is the #Junkosphere. A now familiar concept, has its own page..

Far-fetched? Read: https://mastodon.online/@mastodonmigration/110665710409024881

And think of all those pages describing animal species that no longer roam the earth. Cuties, were they?

Will be eye-opening.

alcorhythm (/ˈalkərɪð(ə)m/), noun

definition: frequency of beverage intake in a pub or bar.

#showerthought 前两天在时间线上看到“逃避类小说”这个说法，突然悟了为什么说要趁青少年时期多读名著：长大之后再看可能会因为太过真切而痛苦得想死。

#ShowerThought. WhatsApp's concept of disappearing messages should really be the standard for emails in the workplace.
Granted, I'm not in this week and am missing the gentle flow of rubbish about missing students, who's not where and so forth, but on a daily basis, the vast majority of messages are irrelevant the next day. Even if 24 hours is perhaps not a wise yardstick, 3 days or a week would go a looooong way to clearing up people's inboxes.

@carl I wonder what would happen if the majority of humans had an existential collapse at the same time. Would reality cease to exist?
