As long as the submarine you had in mind was the OceanGate Titan, yeah.

This is actually one of the most interesting and entertaining timelines.

There was only supposed to be enough source data to make it to 2012- and that was originally a very generous buffer, since a fraction of a percent of Earths last more than 10 years after both networked computers and nuclear weapons have been invented in-simulation.

So, the operators decided not to pull the plug and just let this one run its course.

As it extrapolates history farther and farther outside of the initial parameters, the simulator is cannibalizing itself with feedback and undergoing model collapse.

Well, it's a conservative joke, so... yeah.

Well of course- but identifying online ragebait is also a valuable skill to develop, because then you can just not engage with it.

Wouldn't be surprised at all if the dude in the thumbnail is an actual IRL sexist- it's not an exclusive-or situation. The pattern of first passing these off as someone else's ideas and not his own, and then the "but idk what do you think..." at the end stinks of engagement bait.

Evey time I can remember having to use that lever it was because of some fuck driving with their 1.21GW LED high-beams on right behind me, and therefore deserving a 🖕, which can conveniently also be used to toggle the mirror... Two birds with one stone. Either that's not nearly as universal an experience as I'd hoped or all the Lemmy users who like to drive with their brights got triggered being called out- either way my post does not meet the high editorial standards of the showerthoughts community, so deleting it.

Potato salad is a legitimate foodstuff, however- in the United States it is unfortunately a gateway substance- leading to increasingly foamy forms of macaroni-celery salad, and ending ultimately in marshmallow grape walnut kool-hwip jello salad.

He made this beautiful sculpture of a marshmallow all by himself, but no one cared. 😢 Why don't pictures like this ever trend?

Unsurprising; as video and image generation models are vampiric in nature.
