Lemons(?) of Lemmy, what is something that feels so obvious to you that you just get lowkey pissed at the world for not knowing?

  • Also, if you have any tricks for teaching percentages, ratios and basic statistics PLEASE SHARE. My partner has a new job and while he shines at the field work aspect, he has trouble with the mathier parts. He's had godawful terrible teachers his whole life. I've tried coaching him in math but my methods don't click with him. We also don't have the time to wade through dozens of YouTube videos hoping to hit the holy grail...

  • Thank you for taking the time to write it out! Funnily enough I'm not too bad at math (I tapped out at around linear algebra level) but I was taught in a very rigid way. Useful concepts like commutativity were just... read out loud to kids to be remembered as a Law Of Nature, instead of allowing kids to play with numbers and develop our numbers intuition. So while I have a decent theoretical knowledge, I'm terrible at applying what I know to real life. If that makes any sense?

  • This is the third time this year that I have come across this. I am pissed that it was never taught in school... and that apparently I keep forgetting it every time.

    • Wild New Study Suggests Gravity Can Exist Without Mass

    Jump

  • These sets of concentric shells contain a thin layer of positive mass tucked inside an outer layer of negative mass.

    So how much evidence is there for negative mass, then? Sounds like just replacing one unknown with another.

  • Agreed, look at all the natural variation that was lost. The newcomers don't convey the same intensity of emotions.

    P.S. "extant" means still in existence, I believe you meant "extinct" :)

    Edit: I only now realize the image is also incorrectly labeled. It's a perfectly understandable mistake, anyway.

  • I've noticed that too! I wonder if it's some sort of watermark generated either by the meme generator program or by the website hosting the image. Anything I see on FB, for example, has these weird artifacts, or even entire words blanked out or garbled.

    • If everyone had access to healthcare the net benefit of treating the mental illness and other disabilities holding them back would easily cover the cost of the healthcare itself.

  • I hear where you're coming from. I can't even begin to imagine how tired you are after all these hardships. The fact that you're still writing civil replies to the other person is commendable.

    I would like to respectfully say that universal healthcare would have eliminated the need to navigate insurance denials and out of pocket maximums. If we add a more robust social safety net to the equation, you may also not have to worry about childcare and having to stretch yourself thin with work... Would eliminating these battles really not have brought qualitative changes (for the better) for your family?

    After kid: Sleeping, DnD, cross-stitching, and a little tiny bit of astronomy (involves bargaining with spouse).

  • Physical Chemistry. First semester of first year of university. I couldn't understand anything that our 80+ year old professor was mumbling, and the slides he used were terrible (full of abréviations, diagrams missing steps, etc.) Although I was getting solid grades in all my other courses, I failed the first PhysChem midterm with something like 23%. I resigned myself to my fate and sheepishly told my mom (I was still living home at the time and parents were paying for my studies). She got a mad glint in her eyes, and asked for all the course materials. By next week, she had completely reworked the material and came up with new tables and diagrams to help explain the concepts. I was amazed at how simple it all really was. For example, atomic bonds aren't static but can "wiggle" around in several ways, and we can even calculate fairly easily the amount of energy required for each wiggle.
