Well on the bright side I am sure this person has a bunch of new followers on X. Granted most of them are trying to build a criminal case against him for further profoundly dumb posts but still. All publicity is good publicity

Somehow, I imagined this conversation between mr. jeeniuz and the feds:

“It’s not bombs, officers, it’s just my MJ stash!”

“Oh, so you’re drug trafficking”

“Ye-NO!”

You’d think this guy would have an easier time lifting his girlfriend with all those extra fingers

crawancon , to lemmyshitpost in better part of valor

if she’s pregnant maybe they figured it wasn’t worth the risk?

he does have his hands on her belly.

Dicska ,

And all his fingers… count them!

db2 , to lemmyshitpost in better part of valor

None of the guys are actually smiling…

SchmidtGenetics ,

Dude #3 has 1 white pixel no?

db2 ,

He’s probably just struggling against her trying to unbalance them both.

Dude 3 is mouth breathing from holding her

why was this AI generated?

I’ve seen this for many years. I think it’s both their hands

toastboy79 ,

nah, homie has more of a tan than see does. Zoom in a bit, you'll see we've got good ole Johnny 20 fingers.

update, far side absolutely both sets of hands. Hers are on top and quite pale, his hand is below her's. But the near side, that ain't no kinda hand I've ever seen.

Asidonhopo ,

He’s got his fingers and thumb bent weirdly holding her pregnant belly. It looks big but then compare it to her near hand and it doesn’t seem that unlikely a size or shape to me. Shadows, light shining off his skin and image compression artifacts also may be adding to your confusion.

toastboy79 ,

I think it's the compression subjects and shadows but yeah appreciated

This image is older than generative AI… Those are both their hands.

toastboy79 ,

The original one maybe but this ain't it chief. Plus it's pretty easy toake images look old.

@Kolanaki@yiffit.net avatar

Yeah, no… This image has been a meme for decades. Gonna take a wild guess that you’re not that old or have been on the internet very long.

maybe i just haven’t seen enough AI generated garbage yet but the jpeg compression should be obvious. im literally not that old such that compression artifacts aren’t common knowledge. even if people don’t know the name who hasn’t seen it a ton aside from maybe the Amish.

invertedspear ,

It’s easy to confuse high compression JPEG artifacts with AI fuckery. IMO, if it was AI the lines would be cleaner and there would be other screwed up hands.

If “your call is important to them” they would hire enough people to answer the phone.

owenfromcanada , to lemmyshitpost in math checks out
@owenfromcanada@lemmy.world avatar

It depends on their window.

If they include call volume data back to the Neolithic period in their calculations, then yes, call volumes are higher than average (the average being 0.001 calls per century, rounding up).

Pretty sure that’s how they do the math.

hemko ,

Or just let’s assume the phones are open 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. The average call volume would be drastically lower than during business hours

Mirodir ,

It’s even simpler. A strictly increasing series will always have element n be higher than the average between any element<n and element n.

Or in other words, if the number of calls is increasing every day, it will always be above average no matter the window used. If you use slightly larger windows you can even have some local decreases and have it still be true, as long as the overall trend is increasing (which you’ve demonstrated the extreme case of).

dan ,
@dan@upvote.au avatar

It’s even simpler. They just lie about and always say it’s higher than average.

Zink ,

Yeah it’s fun seeing people figuring out which loophole companies use. Is it really anything other than they save a tiny bit of money by not giving a shit about your experience.

Mirodir ,

Eh, nothing I did was “figuring out which loophole [they] use”. I’d think most people in this thread talking about the mathematics that could make it a true statement are fully aware that the companies are not using any loophole and just say “above average” to save face. It’s simply a nice brain teaser to some people (myself included) to figure out under which circumstances the statement could be always true.

Also if you wanna be really pedantic, the math is not about the companies, but a debunking of the original Tweet which confidently yet incorrectly says that this statement couldn’t be always true.

then_three_more ,

They’d just need to include the call volume for when they’re closed. Open 9-5 but take the average over a whole 24 hour day.

NoMoreCocaine , to mildlyinfuriating in These notifications are bundled together for some reason. So if I want to be notified when my subscriptions renew themselves, I have to also be notified of random games going on sale, too.

Not true on my Sony experia, in Finland. So I am thinking that instead of adjusting the settings for alerts, maybe check settings of the store itself? The play store app, like this screen? Maybe. Dunno if that’s the difference here.

It’s designed that way on purpose.

I had to specifically mute all of my notifications because I couldn’t find out what app was causing them and it was driving me nuts. Steps below for a Pixel phone if anyone is interested in how to mute notifications without having to go into vibrate mode.

For a Pixel 7 phone:

Settings -> Sound & Vibration -> Default notification sound -> My Sounds -> None

I’ve been doing that for years. I only have a handful of apps with audio notifications, basically the most important ones that need my attention right away. Everything else gets vibrate.

gamermanh ,

You can also just look at your “recent apps” under settings, if a notification popped off in the last 30s and you didn’t see a window then it’ll almost certainly be the top app in “most recent”

It’s a glitch / purposeful design in some apps where the actual popup window isn’t set to actually stick around so it just makes a ghost noise. For me it was some random app I installed for one niche purpose and forgot about

The nomenclature I always hear is, “Experiencing a higher than expected call volume,” and since no one can prove how low their expectations actually are there is no crack in which to insert the prybar of legal complaint.

“Marketing says our product is great and easy to use so we expect no support calls. Support is handled by our lead programmer Amir in India.”

lauha , to lemmyshitpost in math checks out

The average is for a good, functioning call center. Their understaffed shitshow is experiencing more calls in relation to amount of staff than they are prepared to.

Migmog , to lemmyshitpost in math checks out

It’s still better to hear this lying message and then be kicked off than when they have you talk to the robot that tries to understand what you want but can’t and then ends up telling you what movies are playing right now in Singapore for some reason.
