Millennials killed the laugh track, and zoomers brought it back with this shit.

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 4 days ago (1 children)

tumblr is still millenials. It's millenials all the way down

[–] yakko@feddit.uk 1 points 4 days ago

I preferred turtles.

[–] dditty@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 points 4 days ago

[–] ExLisper@lemmy.curiana.net 13 points 4 days ago

No I don't know if it's funny or not.

ChatGPT, is this funny?

"The adult male human brain typically weighs between 1,300 grams and 1,400 grams (2.87 to 3.08 pounds), making up roughly 2 percent of total body mass. Adult female brains weigh 100 to 150 grams (0.22 to 0.33 pounds) less than adult male brains. Brain weight varies by age, sex, and individual physiology. Men tend to have a slightly larger and heavier brain than women have, although this difference does not correlate with intelligence."

Its probably to protect our brains from punching each other in the face so much throughout history.

Ive heard beards likely exist for a similar reason. Face padding...

[–] Frenchgeek@lemmy.ml 2 points 4 days ago

In mine, it's to be able to fit a little more headache in it.

[–] proudblond@lemmy.world 2 points 4 days ago (1 children)

I think that might be a typo in the women’s brains section. Less than 10% of what men’s brains weigh, but then later on they say men’s brains are “slightly” heavier? Something ain’t adding up. I think they forgot a digit.

[–] bitteroldcoot@piefed.social 13 points 4 days ago (1 children)

Nope. Female brains are 10% less than men’s. That number isn’t the total. It’s the difference.

[–] proudblond@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

OOOOH I missed the “less,” thank you.

By lightbulb do they mean the 5 or 10W leds we have now or the 100W space heaters that existed when that sentence was likely written?

[–] Buddahriffic@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

According to this source: https://scicentric.org/human-wattage-generation-efficiency apparently at rest our bodies generate about 100W, and during activity it can increase to 200W or even 2000W in extreme cases. That's the whole body, not just the brain, though IMO the relevant one is how much it takes to run the full meat suit, not just the firmware.

[–] pruwybn@discuss.tchncs.de 11 points 4 days ago (2 children)

You can't be pedantic about someone calling the brain "meat" and then call it tapioca pudding.

[–] bitjunkie@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

They just did though

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 3 points 4 days ago

Well actually, it turns out that people can be pedantic about anything!

This does bring into question: if cats have nine lives shouldn't each life have its own ghost? So hell is filled with how many cats have died times nine.

And the cats are in hell because they're having fun torturing the catholic priests who gave out indulgences for money.

[–] Bluewing@lemmy.world 5 points 4 days ago

Cat lives are designed to nest and stack just like your bowls. They really don't take much space after they are run through a compression algorithm.

[–] frank@sopuli.xyz 5 points 4 days ago

Nah the soul is tethered to the game over screen after the last life is lost. Same with butterflies (who carry an extra life but use it during metamorphosis)

[–] Sasquatch@lemmy.ml 5 points 4 days ago

And presumably that was an evolved trait, so there's cat precursors in hell with 1-8 soul twins

My brain is essentially Shinji Ikari.

[–] BreadOven@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago

Stupid Shinji (not you, the character).

The best part of the invention of calculus is Newton developed it to settle an argument about orbits and kept it secret for 20 years going "if you're so fucking smart how about you solve it then!"
