Why can't we see colors well in the dark? In the dark, vivid colors seem to fade to gray and they're hard to tell apart. Why is that?

This is actually because of the anatomy of the human eye. The rods on our retinas are good at low-light conditions, but the cones are responsible for color. But cameras aren't eyeballs. www.livescience.com/health/neuro...

What's the point of going to the moon if you still can't escape Microsoft Outlook?

If you get it wrong they send you a bill and you pay some interest, it's actually very casual

Are there more dinosaurs on earth today than there were during the Mesozoic?

Sorry I'm not more open-minded about LLMs, it's just some fucking maniacs shoveled out a bunch of useless bloatware featuring that technology, did not give me any chance to opt out, reorganized the entire economy around it, zeroed out gains made by green energy, and made it impossible to buy RAM

It's a shame the name is almost just as stupid though. If I owned one I'm not sure which I'd be more embarrassed to say out loud with my human mouth

A liberal activist with a gun was killed by agents of the state in part because he was armed and you're saying this is an argument for more liberal activists to carry guns?

My college roommate turned it off five minutes in because Also sprach Zarathustra was cliche. This was 25 years ago.

I agree with all of those, but do you have any examples of ones that succeeded?

Every time Michael posts about this, I can predict with perfect clarity what the replies will say

Twitter had many problems but anyone who suggests X isn't much much worse in every way is simply mistaken

I am begging for everyone to stop calling it Twitter. Every time you do, you're reminding people of the site it used to be. It is X, it is a hate-filled propaganda dumpster, and that is all anyone should think of when we talk about it.
