The famous post “I shat myself in my maths exam” has been deleted

Heartbreaking. Gone but not forgotten - its memory lives on

Hot take: the scratch team moderation has got way worse in the past year, I’ve received way more unfair/harsh alerts (which are also too vague) and I’ve also seen new Scratch Team members making way more mistakes than they should be, despite them getting training. Does the Scratch Team need to implement more training for moderators?

I understand that activity is high, but it is lower than in prime covid where moderation seemed a lot better, it was near perfect imo

This is my favourite riddle due to how challenging it is:

If you were a blind person, how would you tell someone that you were hungry?

I would personally do a motion of me eating, seems the best and clearest method.

-1 sports are great for you physically and mentally and watching them is thrilling/entertaining for a lot of sports (football especially)

and money shapes a lot on how good your life is, we all want it

Things people like way too much:

  • Sugar and carbs

  • Money

  • Sex (also porn)

  • Sleep

  • Celebrities

  • Watching sports

What else?

You ever see a decision and think, “yeah, that’s the worst one they can do” and then they do one even worse?

Sure sure temporary blah blah blah BUT THIS RUINS THE ENTIRE SOCIAL MEDIA FOR A BIT

HOW has a social media become pay 2 win?

Food hot take #11: Fizzy drinks suck. The fizziness ruins the taste of the actual flavour. Squash is clear.

Also of course they are extremely unhealthy and some artificial sweeteners have links to cancer

Ignorance is bliss. Some days, I would like to go back in time and never have any of the controversy every happen.

And yet, it made me better as a person. I now innately understand why and how the internet sucks, and I can try to actively fight against it.

I understand why some people don’t like me for trying to go against the grain, but it’s obviously much better on many levels to do it this way.

I want to make a YouTube video explaining the reasons why the internet sucks, and how I would go about fixing it.

I love how people don’t like anything even remotely logical online. It’s like the internet is tuned against trying to understand all sides of an issue.

It leans very, very heavily towards tribalism. I’ve seen it a lot. It’s because you have a lot of choice about who you associate with, so you usually choose someone who agrees with you.

This tribalism leads to you always thinking that you’re right (because you’re only listening to people who agree with you constantly).

That’s one of the big reasons why i personally try to follow and interact with everyone. I don’t want to be surrounded by yes-men all the time. I need people to disagree with me.

This lack of negative feedback is one of the biggest problems with the internet. And like I said, it comes from the choice you have about who you listen to.

So really, the huge connected network of the internet (which connects billions of people) really leads to less communication between groups, less sharing and debating, and more tribalism.

Instead of hearing from everyone on earth, you only hear from the people you agree with. You just hear from more of them, not less.

Basically, one of the big reasons the internet sucks is because most people choose to only hear from people they agree with.

I just beat Magnus Carlsen in chess

I am actually really good at chess so magnus invited me around his house for a 1v1. When I got round his house, I saw his indimitating setup in his chess room as he had layed out maths books to remind me of my tragic incident last week, but I was cool as a cucumber.

The chess match started, and I immediately had him on the ropes with taking a few of his pawns with my bishop. He started to play aggressive though, and I had an idea

The dertermenter double sacrifice. Like genius, I sacrificed my queen and a rook, all to create space to put his king into check. After a fake with my knight to make sure his king couldn’t move, I checked his king, and won.

A moment of greatness where I, dertermenter, beat the #1 chess player. From maths exam shitter to chess grandmaster.

Afterwards he stood in silence, stunned. I glazed on, pondering how he would react.

After a while, he stood on the table where we were playing chess, pointed at me, and announced “that man is the greatest of all time!”

I told him not to state the obvious.
