No clue, actually. I know you can sort based on votes, but I've never thought about how the main feed works. I'll have to look it up later, if I can remember

In the US, absolutely. It's probably one of the most common, followed by "taking the Browns to the Super Bowl."
California has the strictest gun laws in the US. They passed legislation a few weeks ago that bans owning any Glock handguns in the state (unless you're a cop, of course) that goes into effect Jan 1, 2026. AR-15s and all other so called "assault weapons" have been banned for years. Plus, it's still illegal to shoot people. What else do you think needs to happen?
On Reddit, the algorithm that determines which posts appear on the main page is heavily influenced by the number of up/down votes for the post and its comments.
Vaping. Juul is a brand of disposable vape.
"Surplus value" sounds like "profit" to me. Take your employer's annual profits, divide by the number of total employees to get profit per employee. Divide that by your hourly wage and you have your answer.
Surplus value = v Annual profits = p Employer's total employees = e Your hourly wage = w
v = p / e / w
So, if Amazon made $9.1 billion in profit in 2025 and had 1,578,000 employees, and you worked full time all year in the USA at an entry-level position at the average of $33K/year or $15.87/hour, that's:
v = 9,100,000,000 / 1,578,000 / 15.87 v = 5776.79 / 15.87 v = 363.37 hours per year
Or roughly 1.4 hours (an hour and 24 minutes) per day at 260 days/year or 5 days x 52 weeks per year.
That's because it's morally justified to prioritize the needs of many over the needs of a few.
Psychopaths and sociopaths who dehumanize others deserve to be dehumanized in return. Why should you owe them something they won't offer you in return?
Have you considered the possibility that only evil people are capable of acquiring that much power and wealth because that much power and wealth is only possible by evil means?
Climate change goes beyond killing each other; it's killing our planet's ability to sustain our species.
Lottery winnings are paid out from a pool of money that's filled by ticket purchases; every dollar won comes from the pocket of someone who bought a ticket and lost, after the lottery company takes their cut. Even if the winners aren't exploiting the losers directly, the system itself is exploitative, and any winnings are derived from that exploitation. As the old saying goes, "the lottery is a tax on people who are bad at math."
