I mean it’s probably labeled, right? How hard could it be?

But then otherwise we would have a year +0 and a year -0. You really want that on your conscience?

Someone once asked (I think) Ruth Bader Ginsburg how many women had to be on the SCOTUS in order for it to not be biased towards men. Her answer was “All nine of them. After all, it’s been all nine men before and no one thought that was special”

I am, of course, quite heavily paraphrasing.

I mean it’s all pretty generic. Would pretty much apply to helping someone with any task, with a few exceptions.

The trick to make this stop is to be an expensive text-to-speech engine.

Well, it’s just how math and numbers in English work.

Cardinal numbers, the number of things you have, start with zero because you can have none of something (or less with negatives, but that’s neither here nor there).

Original numbers, Numbers that show which things were in what order (first, second, etc) start at one, because you can’t really have a zeroth something because then it would really be the first one.

So year 1 is 1 because it’s the first year, and it starts the first century. It would have been entirely possible for English to make the names a little nicer, but given that it isn’t, the math means the first set of one hundred years are the years before the one-hundredth year and cetera.

Worth noting that the 1700s are, in fact, the 18th century. The first century was the years from 1-100, the second century from 101-200, etc.

But, yes. It was invented later in the 18th century than our audience came from.

It is a thinking engine. No further questions.

And, well… They’re not super wrong about how mapped earth is. They just misjudge the sheer, enormous amount of detail we need (which keeps growing with our ability to get more of it), along with the fact that sometimes it changes a bit.

It’s just little tiny things wiggling around in wires. They’re always there, and if you wiggle them just right you can make rocks think!

The worst thing imo is when a form will say they need to verify your identity, so they ask you to give them a phone number you can receive a text at to do a 2fa.

…how, exactly, does that verify anything other than that I own access to a phone number that can receive a text?
