If you're feeling extra spicy, upvote someone else's comment and reply to it. Or reply to it without upvoting. Or upvote every other comment in a chain. Have real-life arguments. Anything to simulate a struggle session.
I've been agitating for a while now about the active sort algorithm being broken since downvotes were removed, and a few days ago I remember seeing a post in the modlog that had a lot of comments but that I hadn't seen on the front page. I want to test whether or not the algorithm was tweaked to deprioritize posts with a lot of comments and relatively few upvotes.
If this change has been made, o7 to the devs
EDIT: Okay maybe give it a few upvotes to get it started in the algorithm, but let it top out at like 25
Anyways uhm... I bought a whole bunch of shungite, rocks, do you know what shungite is? Anybody know what shungite is. No, no Suge Knight, I think hes locked up in prison. Talking shungite. Anyways, its a 2 billion year old like rock, stone that protects against frequencies and unwanted frequencies that may be traveling in the air. So thats my story. I bought a whole bunch of stuff, put them around the la casa. Little pyramids. Stuff like that.
Didn't the Dr Disrespect duchebag get banned from twitch for saying that shugnite could cure covid 19?
Listen fat, I want to see you get married to one of those It Girls, one of those flappers daddy used to like, Jack. Cornpop had his main squeeze and you should too, stupid. I used to run with some bad boys when I met your meemaw, tough hombres, we used to slick our hair back with torpedo grease, Jacob. You understand, right?
You got all types of guys being where they do all the time. But when you guy- when you loo- listen man, listen man alright? It’s like when we, when you get into the oval office day one, you gotta be around who you gotta be to see. And if you’re not seeing who you wanna- who you wanna go to to be who you are all the time whether you’re Christian, Jewish, Hindu, or any other type of holiday, see, you’re not gonna- you’re not gonna- exc- excuse me, you’re not gonna- you’re not gonna excrimate what we’re trying to do with the current president. And when you’re not, when you’re not being- being- being that where you are, you’ve gotta- you gotta do who you know. Thank you.
“Listen here jack, we’re going to clean the democratic party of revisionists and liberalism! No dog-faced pony soldiers for the elite will survive what I’m planning. That mao guy was good, but he didn’t go far enough with the, you know, the thing. Come on fats, we’re going to sieze the means of making, you know, all the things!”
@LeftistJoeBiden :biden-harbinger:
Why are people so worked up over Amazon employees peeing in bottles? I pee in bottles all the time. I prefer it. It saves me from having to get up from my desk and go to the bathroom.
Thank you for the request, товарищ. thefunkycomitatus has said the G-word 3 times, using its uncensored version 3 times.
I don’t have time for this nonsense!
edit: #26 on active sort with 3 upbears and maybe 30 comments? Forgot to pay attention to the comment number. Edit2: 40 comments
What the fuck is a math?

You know that tagline that keeps saying we've planned a struggle session about "beans" for Thursday? Well guess what day it is!
Example comment for people to get mad at: Fahrenheit is a better temperature system for weather reporting than Celsius, because Fahrenheit matches human temperature perception better.
It's 529.67 Rankine right now and that's the best way to say it.
Also I really think this argument comes from, and is entirely due to, people who are used to Fahrenheit, right?
Because F is only about twice as granular as C; ignoring the 32 degree offset; a difference of 5C is a difference of 9F. People (like myself) used to F generally only “note” temperatures in increments of 5F; “low 40s”, etc. So that kind of granularity (5F variation) is easily achievable with C.
I am sympathetic to “approaching triple digits F is when you know it’s getting too damn hot”. But conversely, “when you get into single digits C, you know it’s too cold”
So I don’t really get the “human experience” thing, they both seem just as valid.
I mean I guess if you're used to Celsius it can make sense well enough. But as a Fahrenheit user I see absolutely zero reason to say "it's 10 degrees out" when it's kinda chilly instead of "it's 50 degrees out." You have the unit conversion argument for meters, kilograms, etc, but that doesn't really apply to Celsius. Fahrenheit feels way more intuitive since you actually experience both 0 and 100, and both feel like extremes.
Wrong. Very wrong. This is why Amerikkka needs mandatory re education
But Celsius is simple. Below 0 is freezing. 0-10 is chilly but fine. 10 to 20 is slightly cold. 20 is room temp. 20-30 is slightly warm. 30+ is hot. 40+ is very hot. It's not some random measurement of a foot mixed with the bile of a goat like American measurement systems are based on.
You'll never catch me defending any American system that isn't Fahrenheit. Fuck feet and pounds.
Memorizing "32 = freezing" is a small price to pay for 0 being very cold and 100 being very hot. Do I look like a glass of water to you?
Still rather have my measurement system actually based on something. Also I've used Celsius all my life so.
On a related note the only good American measurement system is horsepower because it sounds cool for race cars. Saying your racecar has 1000 horsepower is much cooler than saying that it has 740 kilowatts.
Hot take: "Actually based on something" doesn't matter. Hell, feet are more actually based on something than meters since a foot is pretty close to the length of some people's feet, whereas a meter is based on 5x10^21 lengths of hydrogen atoms or some other unusable bullshit like that. But I agree that it mostly boils down to what you were raised with.
True but calculations and stuff is much easier with metric units like Celsius and meters, at least for me.
Meters, yes. Celsius, no.
Unless you're converting to Kelvin, which is easier for Celsius, but I'm not advocating using Fahrenheit for scientific purposes.
You're right at the end of the day it just comes down to what you're used to. And with the internet being so US centric I've had to learn both systems. But damn there are some weird ones, look at grains when measuring bullet weight for example.
Again:
The only American system I give a shit about preserving is Fahrenheit. The rest can eat shit.
I know I'm just trying to pad the discussion to boost the post on the active sort algorithm
Comment! I'm angry at you and trying to start a struggle session! Onlookers should only only upvote my comments in this exchange to simulate a real struggle session where some opinions are good and others are bad!
