Where do you draw the line between "staying informed" and avoiding all the stress in the news?

  • I wish there was a way to stay informed without the rage-bait delivery methods

    • What's your favorite post-credits scene in a movie?

    Jump

  • I just finished watching the latest Ari Shaffir comedy special. In the end credits he gives actual credit to so many of the people listed. It was really nice to see people appreciated like that.

    • If there was a commonly used item today that was going to be our equivalent to the Roman dodecahedron, what item do you most speculate it would be?

    Jump

  • Did the Romans have communal dumps like we do?

    Some people are buried with their valuables. I'm certain there's a dead body in every dump. They will look like royalty.

    • TIL that due to a genetic bottle neck, 10% of the population of the pacific atoll of Pingelap has achromatopsia, i.e. only sees in black&white

    Jump

  • Yes. The difference being that it was due to circumstances that devastated the population.

  • Complete achromatopsia is normally a very rare condition, and its prevalence on the island has been traced back to a population bottleneck in 1775 after a catastrophic typhoon swept through the island, leaving only about 20 survivors.

    There are now 250 people on the island, and...

    the disorder is now prevalent in almost 10% of the population, with a further 30% being unaffected carriers.

    So ~25 people have it, and another ~75 are carriers.

    • If society goes completely cashless, bank robberies would no longer be a thing, which means there would no longer be "bank robbery" plots in future Movies/TV shows.

  • Kind of like westerns where people had duels and accused each other of horse theft pew, pew!
