  • Probably the most relatable one around here is the way people on reddit used to talk about bacon - in like 2010s reddit it was almost mythologized, which was weird to me even back then when I still ate and enjoyed bacon. There’s a bunch of other small examples like that I’ve run into pretty regularly that are each innocent on their own but taken all together are just… odd. “Cultish” was probably too strong of a word but I couldn’t think of a better alternative (then or now) for the way some people treat meat so differently than any other type of food, including ones you might expect to be more exciting like deserts or something.

    I’m not one to try to tell people their opinions on subjective stuff are wrong and that’s not what I’m trying to say here, but I just do really think there’s more to the way some people treat meat than just it being a type of food they enjoy. Hopefully that makes some kind of sense lol







  • As long as votes are tied to your account they won’t be private, because at the least the admins of your server (whether lemmy, piefed, or reddit) can see them. The difference with lemmy and piefed is that because of federation, the admins of any instance can see them - so anyone interested could just make their own instance, federate with your home server, and then see your votes.

    As long as this is the case, it makes more sense to not try to pretend that votes are private and make ineffective attempts to hide them, imo.

    If this isn’t something you’re on board with, though, you may want to look into piefed cuz iirc @rimu was working on a way for piefed instances to only federate a vote total and not individual user votes. AFAIK your votes would still be visible to your instance admins, which gives it an equivalent level of vote privacy to reddit (except that you get to choose who to trust, which is a pretty large benefit).

    the only* non-zero function whose derivative is itself

    * except its multiples such as −2 𝑒𝑥, which are… just… uh… derivative works

    I think you forgot about e^x + 1, and e^x + 2, and … …

    (My profs always dunked on me for forgetting the + c and I can’t resist doing it to someone else, I’m sorry)

    For real tho, great explanation
