  • Things like Spotify or your phone/earbuds themselves usually have a mono setting. I use it all the time when only wearing one earbud. Beatles songs are notorious for splitting vocals to one ear only.

    The solution is already right there. But let me guess, "No, I want to use my old wired earbuds from 1995 and they should accommodate me in my archaic niche use case instead of me upgrading my earbuds to enjoy the new features developed like forced mono"?

  • Ok, so what is the exact process that creates consciousness? Cus that's what I'm saying is debated but you apparently have that answer. So what EXACTLY, down to the atomic level, is consciousness? What processes and how do they emerge into consciousness?

    I'll be waiting for your exact, undebated answer.

  • "what property is altered"

    Ummm, the part where you are a continuous object that is suddenly disassembled.

    Dont be intentionally obtuse. Yes, this is a ship of thesis type problem, but there's a very clear point when you stop being "you" - when you're a stream of atoms. Although many versions of a teleporter don't transmit the atoms, only the data of how they're arranged. In that case, you are very distinctly a photocopy, as no original atoms remain.

    In the case of atom transfer, you stop being you during the time you are a bundle of atoms with no consciousness. Some people believe we're like a forever stew and if you shut it down like that and reboot it, it's not the "same" stew anymore because it wasn't just the emergence of the consciousness, but the specific emergence itself. Essentially You v1 died in its sleep and You v2 seamlessly took it's place without knowing. Tho that line of thought could applied to sleeping and loss of consciousness during surgery.

    All of this is to say it's not a cut and dry answer and people claiming there's a diffinitive, clear cut answer are incorrect. It's a complex question that touches on the very nature of our existence and is still hotly debated. Even academics who believe we are purely chemical machines debate exactly how that works.

  • Yup. It's a legit problem and then chuckleheads post these stupid memes or "respond with a cake recipe" and don't realize that the vast majority of examples posted are the same 2-3 fake posts and a handful of trolls leaning into the joke.

    Makes talking about the actual issue much more difficult.

  • It is fake. This is weeks/months old and was immediately debunked. That's not what a ChatGPT output looks like at all. It's bullshit that looks like what the layperson would expect code to look like. This post itself is literally propaganda on its own.

  • It's public. Anyone can. Jesus you people always try to spin this into some conspiracy

    This was debunked LONG ago - that's NOT a chat gpt output. It's nonsense that LOOKS like ChatGPT output.

  • Well, seeing as how the question is directly asking "is there any energy you can't eventually trace back to the sun", you shouldn't ever stop going back unless you can reach a definitively non sun answer

    (Gravity arguably works - probably the nuclear attraction force as well, electromagnetic I believe)

    Y'all need to pay attention to the actual question being asked. Geothermal, nuclear, tidal are all originating with the formation of the galaxy and the formation of stars.

    Ask yourself: WHERE did the earth get X,Y,Z? Where does nuclear materials come from: supernovas. How do planets form? A gas cloud coalesces, the star forms, and the remaining gasses coalesce in that gravity well formed by the star. Without a star forming in the middle, you get no solar system. You get cold blob of gas or a cold dead rock. Where does tidal come from: same gravitational interactions that require a sun sized object - tides aren't 100% earth & moon.

    Stars are like the seed needed to form crystals. Without them, nothing else forms. Just a bunch of basic chemicals floating around.

  • Which wouldn't have the potential if the larger sun didn't form first to create the gravity to allow the rest to form.

    Star != Sun is just pointlessly pedantic. You're not trying to learn anything, just be a smartass.

  • Earth wouldn't have coalesced without the sun in the middle. Otherwise we'd still be a gas blob.

    Nuclear materials were formed in supernovas. They wouldn't exist in the first place without a star.

  • Earth wouldn't coalesce without the sun. Thus no geothermal.

    Nuclear materials were formed in supernovas. Can't have that without a star.

    Moons tides wouldn't exist if Earth didn't have an orbit of its own. Again, sun needed.

    Hydro you already figured out.

  • OP is inadvertantly providing another example: the phrase "conspiracy theory". It was coined by the US government as a way to discredit ideas - to make people look like crackpots. Lots of negative propaganda was created around that phrase.

    Fast forward to today and "conspiracy theory", though admittedly still tainted in various ways, has made a resurgence. Things that would have gotten you laughed out of the room are now proven fact(like Iran-Contra, for a simple and fairly uncontroversial example).

  • A) literally means figuratively. Go grab a dictionary and check yourself.

    B) Was I complaining about Reddit? If anything, I'm complaining about the fact that Lemmy is much smaller and often delayed in getting me news about current events

  • All the downvotes but literally every post here I see is on Reddit hours or days beforehand.

  • Don't listen to this person. Unleashed dogs are the responsibility of the owner in most states. Not only are you not legally responsible for the injuries to the dog, the owner is responsible for any damage to your car.

  • What are the good alternatives? Been a fitbit user for a few years now and not sure who to switch to next.

  • I think you nailed it. People get so hung up on what he became, they forget what he was. Dude really is just a contrarian. Almost like a white collar version of George Carlin(albeit very toned down).

  • That would be a fun swap for the purge code lmao. Free "Fuck Stratasys" keychain with every print. Better than the squiggly "poop" blobs I get now....
