Don't ask for more pixels

Why? Because you're unable to use basic reverse image search or because you're too lazy and unwilling?

[–] lengau@midwest.social 64 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Because they know by doing that they can both get engagement and someone else to find the best quality version for them.

[–] gofsckyourself@lemmy.world 28 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Why would getting engagement matter on lemmyshitpost?

[–] Klear@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago

People are trained to serve the algo and do it even in cases where it does nothing.

It's also why not feeding trolls is a lost art.

This has the same energy as the observation that the most reliable way to get an answer on the internet is to post the wrong answer.

So at some point, the original screenshot was posted somewhere that doesn't allow the words "sexuality" and "spectrum" but "gayest" is a-okay. Interesting.

[–] dan@upvote.au 15 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

I still call it Twitter because their emails are still branded as Twitter. I don't actually use it any more but I do get so much spam through DMs that I'm considering deleting my account. I'm mostly holding it just so nobody squats on my username.

Internet censorship has somehow become wider and less thoughtful than TV and movie censorship ever was. Including Hayes Code shit.

Still trying to wrap my head around how a partial ordering plays out here. I think it's fair to say that for any such nonempty spectrum, there exists at least one person about whom it can be said: "nobody is gayer than they are." Right? (even if 1 or more people are equally gay...)

[–] zeca@lemmy.eco.br 40 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Its the difference between maximum gayness and maximal gayness. Maximum gayness is being more gay, or at least as gay, as everybody else; while maximal gayness is not being less gay than anybody else (just as you put it). Two people with maximal gayness can have incomparable gaynessess, and thats the key thing about partial orderings, this possibility of incomparability. there could be many maximally gay people. they wouldnt be equally gay, but incomparably gay.

[–] WhiskyTangoFoxtrot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago (1 children)

maximal gayness

Like Rattrap and Dinobot?

As long as we can put an upper bound on gayness (or more specifically on each totally ordered subset of people under the is-gayer-than relation) this follows from Zorn's lemma.

It's also true by virtue of the fact that the set of all people who will have ever lived is finite, but "the existence of a maximal element in a poset" just screams Zorn's lemma.

[–] wpb@lemmy.world 6 points 1 week ago

I think it's better to avoid the axiom of choice in discussions about sexuality, as it seems to upset the conservatives.

Talking about the amount of alternatives doesn't specify how many elements are contained in an alternative.

[–] HexesofVexes@lemmy.world 23 points 1 week ago (4 children)

Microcosmic example. Take 3 people - a newborn (A), a professor of biology (B) and a professor in philosophy (C).

You're easily able to argue that both professors are more intelligent than the newborn (A<B and A<C). However, you're unable to establish (in any meaningful way) whether B<C, or C<B; even B=C is out. This is because both professors have knowledge the other does not, so trying to meaningfully equate or order them in relation to one another is an act of futility.

This is a fun example of a partial order that most of us see every day (in a less extreme form).

[–] excral@feddit.org 12 points 1 week ago (4 children)

That's also part of the reason why IQ scores are deeply flawed. Using a single number to measure intelligence implies there is an absolute order.

Fun fact: Richard Feynman, one of the greatest physicist of the 20th century and legendary physics educator (author of the Feynman Lectures), was invited to join Mensa after he won the Nobel Prize in physics. He declined however, because he didn't meet the IQ score of 130 normally required by Mensa.

Put another way: like so may things, knowledge is multidimensional. If you just compared them on knowledge of chess openings, or how many digits of π they could recall, you could rank them more confidently on that axis.

But general intelligence is such a slippery fish compared to isolated trivia.

[–] TheBeege@lemmy.world 3 points 1 week ago

I didn't know there was a term for this! Thank you! I try to convey this concept all the time, especially for intelligence and skills, so having a word for it is immensely helpful.

Most of my favorite women can ejaculate and several of my favorite men have tits. Phrased another way, genderfluid ungendered fluids.

All men have tits.

The world would be a better place if everyone intuitively understood the difference between a spectrum and a scale.

[–] explodicle@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wait how do they differ? Aren't radio waves the gayest waves in the electromagnetic spectrum?

[–] mavu@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 1 week ago

See? Thats exactly the problem.

OF COURSE radio waves are the gayest waves in the electromagnetic spectrum. BECAUSE they are the ONLY gay waves in the electromagnetic spectrum.

[–] MTK@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (3 children)

What about multiple people at the gayest point?

it’s possible for it to be a total ordering and yet for there to be no gayest person. for example, the open interval (0, 1) is totally ordered and yet has no minimum or maximum. (the maximum would be 1, but it’s not included in the interval by definition.)
