  • Do you think people in countries that use metric units have no intuitive way of linking the units to things we use every day?

    To me and anyone else who hasn't grown up with imperial (or USGS or whatever), the units seem just as useless in daily life as metric does to you. Probably even more so, because there is no easy way to link between different units.

  • It's most noticeable when the topic being discussed is your area of expertise. Then you clearly see what kind of grossly oversimplified or even blatantly false comments get made with so much confidence and upvoted.

    I tried to keep this in mind while reading stuff that I'm not an expert in, but that's hard.

  • Downvotes weren't a thing in Reddit is Fun? I definitely remember downvoting things using RIF right until the end.

  • Exactly. Billionairs look out for themselves first and foremost. They try to maximise their profit.

    Musk wants to push more people to pay for verified. The reddit board (not only Spez) wants people to download their app to make it seem like their growing right before their IPO, while simultaneously forcing more ad views. Probably downloading the app also lets them track a lot of extra data about you as well.

    No conspiracy needed to explain all this.
