[Weekly thread] How are you doing with your communities?
  • I think considering that lemmy is new and communities are small, users will be provided with all the content, regardless of when it was posted. Compared to an instagram where the content is so much you might not see it if you miss it

  • What's the greatest invention of 21st century, in your opinion?
  • We are in a time where a single invention can rarelt be great. For technological development you need thousands of small inventions, each that use previous technological breakthrough through decades of research. And even great things we have, are just refinement and miniaturization of things we already had.

    But if a single thing had to be said, I would say mRNA vaccines. Covid vaccines saved milions of lives, were developed in record times, and their technology could be used for HIV or even antitumoral vaccines.

  • 40 years of Boston Dynamics
  • That usually means they got to a high level of refinement they don't need to upgrade, because there's some kind of incredibly difficult obstacle to overcome (like today's lithium batteries that have not developed much in the last decade), or it's such a good design that they developed the base for the next decades of humanoid robots models (just think of a pen that has been the same for a century, because it's as good as it gets)

  • Collapse is inevitable because of ignorant, dumb people? I think there are ways to address this. Here are my suggestions.
  • Iq tests are only statistical in nature, the median score (100) is constatly readjusted because it was noticed that if older criterias were maintained the median kept increasing over time. This could be explained even by a higher level of average eucation. By definition, the "low functioning part" (iq<70) will always be the minority. Because the score is changed so that the tails are always a specific percentage of the total polutation, so using an iq test is already flawed.

    Also, people don't ruin the world because they are stupid, they do so because of egoism and lack of foreshadowing (not caused by stupidity but again by egosim)

  • Because it takes slightly less mental energy to sit and stress than to do the thing.
  • You can try ans give motivation, offer emotional support, sometimes even offer to do the thing together (sometimes just arranging a thing is a good way to not let it slide), but forcing will have the opposite effect and will only add to the internal pressure that is already there (but you won't probably see) and that is not enough. Of course it depends on the person, you can also ask your friend, as long as you accept the answer as a fact with no judgement (it's not easy but probably it will be appreciated)

  • escape rule
  • I'm sorry but I think that's stupid lol. A bear is an incredibly dangerous creature. Being in the woods with a bear means very likely death. A random stranger will likeyly be kind and decently good.

  • You ever recover a lost memory?
  • I have a small candy tin that i brought around to keep small toys when we travelled across countries with my family. Every couple or so years I open it and it still smells of strawberry after 15+ years, and I immediately run through my childhood travels
