Rules:

  1. The mods are fallible; if you've been banned or had a post/comment removed, please appeal.
  2. Off-topic posts will be removed. If you don't know what "Leopards ate my Face" is, try reading this post.
  3. If the reason your post meets Rule 1 isn't in the source, you must add a source in the post body (not the comments) to explain this. If the reason is in the source but is tedious to find (e.g. in a lengthy video), you must add an explanation for where it is.
  4. Posts should use high-quality sources (for a rough idea, check out this list), and posts should retain the title (if one exists) from works like news articles, videos, etc. You may (but need not) edit your post if the source changes the title. Other types of posts should have a title which accurately, relatively neutrally describes their contents.
  5. For accessibility reasons, an image of text must either have alt text or a transcription in the post body.
  6. Reposts within 1 year or the Top 100 of all time are subject to removal.
  7. This is not exclusively a US politics community. You're encouraged to post stories about anyone from any place in the world at any point in history as long as you meet the other rules.
  8. All Lemmy.World Terms of Service apply.

Hear me out. Sometimes I hear quantum physics stuff and my brain understands what is being said but just like still cannot grasp how to reach some of the conclusions. Like it doesn't fit my mindset or something, I don't know. String theory is hard for me for example.

I've decided to start picturing some people as hearing stuff that doesn't fit within their scope and just... noping out and hiding back in their box because anything more than a one step equation just can't ever make sense in their brain.

I know this doesn't help, but makes me less angry at them.

It's hard not to be angry at stupidity once you recognize it as the source of most social problems. As a species, we are not as far from monkeys flinging poop as we like to believe.

which works both ways: if bonobos can solve most of their argument with vigorous bumming, why can't we?

Ok but we’re not exactly asking the electorate to understand quantum physics. Is asking people to look at what TACO did last time too much to ask for?
