One day you'll not have had sex for the last day of your life.

I wholeheartedly agree with you, which means this isn't much of an unpopular opinion, so downvoted.

I think it's the percent of your kinetic energy you lose with each stride. I have no idea how that would be measured, but it makes the most sense.

Vaccination? Antibiotics? The Haber-Bosch process? Computing in general?

Nope, computers that are mediocre at pretending to be humans are clearly superior.

If you scale up the trebuchet enough it gets large enough to throw things on a suborbital trajectory and you can use it to throw nukes at other continents!

r/unpopularopinion is for posting mostly popular opinions that some people nonetheless disagree with. Truly unpopular opinions, even well thought out ones, almost always get downvoted.

I've been considering starting one, but it seems like a bit of a hassle to manage.

Most of JWST's wavelength range falls in the infrared, only overlapping the red end of the visible spectrum. That means basically all its images are in false color, showing infrared wavelengths as visible ones. I'd be surprised if any are true color images considering how boring they'd be (just some deep reds and oranges).

Love how many people didn't realize that was satirical. I guess it hits a bit too close to the real crypto scams out there... (Though $8.25/hr is a bit generous).

I think your expectations for my toddler self's memory are a bit too high, I've got no idea lol.

I hope not, I don't need another a murder on my conscience.

Guess we're never getting AGI then, there's no way they end up with that much profit before this whole AI bubble collapses and their value plummets.

I ate a worm once when I was a toddler, does that count?

Meh, it's just a fact that some people have better things to spend their money on. And Android phones work well for many users. The user experience is less streamlined, but they have a lot more to offer in terms of control and customization (custom ROMs, launchers, sideloading, rooting, etc). I say this as someone who has extensively used both.

Not everyone has the money for an iPhone, or is willing to deal with the walled garden that Apple products are. "Buy a new phone" is also just a really terrible response to someone asking for help.

Especially when the video is only 15 seconds long. Has the average attention span really fallen so far that one can't wait like 10 seconds for the funny part? (The answer is yes, I know, I've seen kids scrolling through TikTok and skipping a video after just a second or two).

OpenRGB has support for a ton of devices; just make sure the keyboard is supported before buying it.

Pull the reverse card on them and treat their attraction like it's something that needs fixing: "Oh, you're attracted to me? I'm so sorry to hear that! Have you tried therapy?"

I love it when the stuff suspended in the miso separates just right and you can see the little convection cells in action. Definitely the most interesting soup to watch (and tasty!)

Loss of braincells, I could feel them dying as I read it.
