I did it. Fortunatelly only with one eye and also blocking the view of everything but the sun with my hands. So now I have a second blind spot in centre of my eye, but the brain fills it and I dont even notice.

kozel OP ,

I will check that.

What can we do to re-shape society for the better?

If top of the society is immoral psychopaths with power, and most of the society is composed of people with good intentions, then there is not much hope for “beta uprising” until things go way beyond point of recovery, because powerful psychopaths will not let their power get taken away....

You could be also interested in democratic confederalism, however I don’t know how does the curdish reality look like.

Scandinavians do, 1 scandinavian mile = 10 km.

What is your comfort activity (like comfort food)?

Mine is playing AOE2 in easiest (or standard if I want a bit of challenge) mode against 3 bots. I just build my economy, wall up (and laugh at the enemy soldiers attacking my walls in vain), reach imperial age and attack once my army reaches the population limit. I also send 104 in the chat so they don’t surrender and I can...

kozel ,

Sudoku.

kozel ,

L’Arroseur Arrosé. That will show them not to block the sunlight with their ship.

(It would also show them our love for beauty, aour dependency on water, sense of humour and sense for justice.)

TIL about Moonbow: Nature's Rare and Beautiful Phenomenon Similar to Rainbow (upload.wikimedia.org)

A moonbow is a rare and stunning natural phenomenon that occurs when moonlight is refracted and reflected off water droplets in the air, creating a colorful arc of light in the night sky. Similar to a rainbow, moonbows are formed when light is dispersed into its various colors, but they are much rarer and more elusive, as they...

kozel ,

I’ve seen it once and it was out-worldish (even though not as spectacular as the fotos at wikipedia).

Also TIL about dewbow and I want to see it.

kozel ,

Jes, the moonbow I’ve seen was actually a moon-fog-bow.

kozel ,

Still better than bow-moon fog. I tend to get lost in aerosol of lunar magma caused by the Moon paying tribute to their planet.

Can you elaborate how much is stingless-bee-keeping different from apis-mellifera-beekeeping?

kozel ,

TIL varroas have been found in Australia, I’m sorry for that.
And thank you for the explanation.

kozel ,

I’m from Europe, so there are only apes, and I don’t want to keep theses, as the area aound me is heavilly overbeed. However, I consider keeping/supporting nonsocial bees (or bumblebees), but I haven’t started yet.

kozel ,

That eggs are made in factories. I still haven’t made peace with this, and lurk around egg equivalents (I’m not vegan).

Also when I was in kindergarden, I had terrible idea about how the map of our village looks like.

Cool YouTube cooking channels? - I still haven’t watched any of them.
Rain gear methodology for hiking in any weather condition

What are some commonly known facts that are too bizarre for you to believe to be true?

For me it is the fact that our blood contains iron. I earlier used to believe the word stood for some ‘organic element’ since I couldn’t accept we had metal flowing through our supposed carbon-based bodies, till I realized that is where the taste and smell of blood comes from.

kozel ,

Also when the leap years were introduced, the priests (who were to take care of the calendar) didn’t understand what dis “every four years” mean, and used to put a leap year every three years.

kozel ,

What’s wrong with that? In first, the map is old, thus wrong.

kozel ,

Jes, I just wanted to make a little word-play to introduce the observation they have wrong map.

kozel ,

TIL How to Train Your Dragon is originally a book. Thank you.

Could you compress text files by mapping a word to how commonly it is used and translating it with an application?

It’s a bit of a weird shower thought but basically I was wondering hypothetical if it would be possible to take data from a social media site like Reddit and map the most commonly used words starting at 1 and use a separate application to translate it back and forth....

kozel ,

To get the data, search “frequency list (of English)”.

The sign of a ball with three rays shall be repulsive for thee, thou shalt not enter any shelter nor edifice with the sign of a ball with three rays, nor destroy spoken buildings.

And to react to @bool I would probably be able to write some primitive method of computing the logarithms.

What would name would your drag persona (any gender) have?

I think I would want some really stupid real life thing/pun name, or maybe like a whole sentence even. Like for example, “The cardinal directions are north, south east, and west” or “Sorry” or “Maya Paula Jeese” or “Milk Toast”. Maybe even “Yorkshire Terrier” or “Jim(othy) Member”. Many options to...

Rosa Canina
I’ve allways wanted to have a floral name.

kozel ,

I think it may be a reaction to present Denmark’s efforts to ban burning of qurans. (They would also ban burning of bibles, but the main reason are qurans.) However, the meme is wrong in many ways.

kozel ,

Sorry, I found it in my feed and didn’t check the sub.

kozel ,

I’ve just find (in wiktionary) the word “moonwise”, meaning antisunwise/counterclockwise. But the moon moves the same way as the sun does. So is there some deeper meaning based off of some long-term patterns in lunar movement, or is it just simple antagonism sun×moon?

kozel ,

In czech, we have a phrase “jak sa kráje chleba” (same way as a bread is sliced). Problem is, that (at least in my social group) nobody knows, wether it means clockwise or anticlockwise, as everybody slices the bread differently.

kozel ,
  1. Grip the bread vertically to your chest.
  2. Start cutting in direction from the front to the back.
  3. Slowly rotate the bread, so you cut the crust only in one point (the tip of the knive moves through already cut bread).

It may be easier to see it with a short knive.

Once I met a Slovak guy with clearly polish surname, so I asked him wether he had polish ancestors. He genuinely didn’t get why would I think something like that…

kozel ,

As a west Slav (Moravian) myself, I’m usually able to distinguish these two, especially in written form. The meme shows the characteristics of polish quite realistically.

kozel OP ,

I might try to compost it (and than separate the plastic and soil), unless I find better sollution, but I’m a bit afraid of animals messing it out from the composter.

Local trash company recycles the plastics (at least they claim so). I’ve also writtern them an e-mail, but I don’t really expect to get an answer from them.

kozel ,

Maybe not exactly what you’re looking for, but you could be interested in “circular definition”.

kozel ,

What about words like “happiness” or “love”?

kozel ,

As far as I understand, we were not speaking about struggles with translating from one language to another, but about explaining a word within the original language.

kozel ,

I don’t really care
where the money go
even though you’ve said
that I should have known.

I’m interested in
mechanism of vote
it’s my nerdy thing
just let me enjoy’t.

Let’s use Condorcet,
not FPTP,
even two-round set
is pretty shitty.

'lectoral treshold
I want it to cease
so that we could vote
for minor parties.

Last year you could see
it has real effect
I would be happier
without this deffect.

kozel ,

Are you speaking about that english, which has the same word for “you” and, ehm “you”?

kozel ,

Also changing your name when you’re adult should be normalized - just so, without ressons.

There Are many ecosystems that hardly depend on human activity. Fields And cities, but also fragile places as orchid maedows.
In some parts of world (Europe definitelly), these ecosystems evolved right after the end of the last ice age, there was no interregnum of “Wild forests” (with this part I’m not so sure, but if it weren’t true, It doesn’t affect the main argument).
Without humans, these ecosystems would rapidly get destroyed by bushes And forests, part of the manifold world would have gone.

And yes, I aknowledge that were destroing these ecosystems too, by industrialized agronomy. And I understand the feeling nature=forests without human disturbing, but it’s simply not the whole picture.

how do you make friends if large gatherings arent your thing?

I do like large gatherings, but I don’t really do well meeting people and making friends in them. I find it too chaotic and difficult to “be myself” with so many people. I also feel there tends to be more shallow conversation in these settings making it great for banter and social energy but less great for connecting and...

kozel ,
  1. Find your local facebook group. (Or some alternative to this.)
  2. Make a group chat with description like “let’s go for a walk together time to time, to make new friendships”. Hopefully a lot of people shall join the group, most of them as lurkers.
  3. Write there st like “Let’s go for a short walk this evening, start at [time, place]”. Hopefully somebody shall come and they will be a cool person.

Somebody did this a few months ago in my student dorms’ group. Since then, we’ve been meeting ~1 a week. Allways a bit different group, everyone knows that everyone is here to make friendships, so the ices are broken. The group tends to be small-ish, as it’s called usually few hours in advance. The feeling is very good. And I have one person from there, with who we’re getting to be good friends.

kozel OP ,

Thank you, this is the type of answer I’m looking for.
