Oh yeah, and this broad

America's Funniest Home Videos just isn't as good as I remember...

I threw a lot of stuff to the trash while cleaning up my room and now I'm regreting it. But why? I didn't even care about those things before.

>>595
It was a lot better before people could just upload all their funny videos to the internet. At this stage we're so over-exposed to the kind of content the series showcases that it has no real purpose anymore.

It's so easy to turn to spite when it does nothing but poison the feelings that led you there.

I meant 400-800 million tons per year for all spiders, it would be even more embarrassing if it was just 400 tons.

The real traitor to frogs is you, so easily leaving them behind in favor of bats. Disloyal. Now, let's see this rando's blog.
...
Man, that's just... a bad article. The only estimate it links to uses the faulty 1960 1k per hour figure that the guy already previously rejected, and doesn't quote anything in its other numbers. In fact, I can't find any real source on the matter, but it looks like that's no coincidence:
https://www.al.com/news/birmingham/2016/08/do_bats_really_control_mosquit.html
>"Nobody else has ever really looked at that," he said. "There's never really been a need for anybody to quantify how many insects a bat eats in a certain period of time."
Another random blogger says 5g per bat and other things: https://www.squirrelsatthefeeder.com/what-do-bats-eat/
But it either doesn't have a source or links to other sourceless estimates like the USFWS's or TPWD's. Many bats like the Indiana one mentioned above hibernate for several months, seriously dialing down any annual estimate. I'm surprised to see it wasn't mentioned.

All in all, I'm pretty disappointed. I was thinking of doing a spider rain dance to torment you, but it's not worth my time. Doesn't look like I need to say anything about bats either, White-nose is taking care of them.

To clarify, there are some serious articles linked in there but they're about diversity in bat diets, they don't deal with quantities.

>>588
I could not find any research on how many insects frogs kill as a whole. As you say even finding research on how many bats kill is hard but then that doesn't make it completely without merit and it certainly would not mean that they kill less just because no study was done on it, they are just estimates like your study was.

In many areas Spiders hibernate too.

As recent events have shown us, bats are too resilient for their own good, well for our own good really. They will be fine in the long run.

>>593
Alright, I'm cool with that. I'll take the non-agression as a weird kind of apology.

>>576
Huh. I figured it would make a pizza by having it spin around and drop the ingredients on it and then lower it into an oven and dispense it, but 3 minutes seems rather fast. I make pizzas myself and they usually take about 7 minutes, although I use a lot more cheese so I suppose less might allow for faster cooking. Hmmm.

>>571
I see that pretty often, FamilyMarts too, but maybe that's because I like in a dystopian hellscape megacity.

>>579
I love those things but it must be hard to repair if there's a problem...

>>578
Hmm, yeah that's pretty amazing to do it in 3 minutes. The machines are made in Italy apparently, so there must be some heavy research into fast pizzas there. I'm kind of surprised, though, I'd figure Italy would be the last place to develop something like this.

>>580
it must be fucking awful to repair. but they do look great, cyberpunk imageboards are ripe with photos of these things.

The more I learned about inverts in general the less I find them gross. Earwigs and some species of crab taking care of their young was cool to me.
Eusocial insects like bees are of course a whole other ballgame.

Also, I thought this was a cool report.

>so a creature that is exactly the same but breeds faster and with less resources would simply outcompete it.
Waiting any day now for the rabbit uprising.

That already happened in Australia so they used Calicivirus to genocide them.

>adding pain receptors and such adds complexity and adds cost.
This is what I mean by seeing higher reasoning. There is no calculation of cost to evolution, it is simply competition.

>>509
Cost is a part of competition. If a creature performs nearly the same or exactly the same as another creature only it has some advanced features that require longer gestation and more resources to be consumed for that gestation then it will be outcompeted by the creature that doesn't require that.

Fact. The subreddit where these people are organizing on has 1.5 million followers. It's pretty surprising to see.

Why are you being so rude?

>>468
Because I was samefagging

If you want the months to be equal lengths then the simplest solution is to have 12 months of that length plus a 13th intercalary month with all the extra days at the end. That's the system used, for instance, by the Ethiopian Calendar.

What if we had 1 month a year and then change the length of a day by 59.178s to compensate for the roughly 1/4th of day that each year has? This would cut down on the number of months and make their length more consistent while also getting rid of leap years.

Doesn't work. Blockchain is, and always will be, a fundamentally useless technology for just about every situation. We have had transactional ledgers for years. What do you think Git is, conceptually? Beyond blockchain buzzword nonsense, crytocurrencies are also dramatically useless for practical usage. In their current implementation, they're nothing but assets to bid on. You'd be better of transacting your business in Venezuelan Bolivars than Bitcoin. Furthermore, "Tether cryptocurrencies" are nothing but assets held in trust to ensure conversion between it and the legal tender it is exchangeable for; if they're not backed by anything, then they're worthless because they have nothing to support their value, and thus cannot be a tethered store of value if that value can fluctuate.

In regards to Web 3.0 stuff in particular, similar proposals have been made in the past for distributed filehosting wherein people would dedicate a portion of their storage and be compensated for their hosting. I don't think I should have to mention this, but this is an awful idea for many reasons: 1. data integrity; if the data you're storing is not properly encrypted, what's stopping someone from unscrupulously accessing your personal files, or anything else that is sensitive, such as user data or credit card information? Nothing. 2. Distributed hosting akin to bittorrent makes no guarantees in regards to the speed of downloading or uploading, nor does it ensure the data will be stored forever, which leads to 3. If, for whatever reason, all of the hosts for a particular set of files goes offline, what happens to the files? In all likelihood, they're gone forever just as the many torrents over the years have died, but in this case you're potentially facing the loss of your entire business front, personal website, or personal storage. Finally, this leads to 4. If the only guarantee against the instability of distributed networking is centralization, what is the point of having a distributed network in the first place? There are lofty ambitions in saying, "anyone could host files for others and be paid in crypto to keep hosting them," but the reality is that this will quickly be monopolized by large players if it is to succeed in any measure.

I might be missing some of their other points, but one stuck out to me. They mentioned the possibility of having a single profile not bound by any platform. This is an admirable goal, but again, when facing reality there isPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Feelman, social media emojis, and now this. Fuck this guy. Anyway...

[crypto talk for a few minutes]
Ignoring this, it's unrelated to the topic.
He called a website a "web 3.0 app". He spent a couple minutes talking about a P2P program and implying it was incredible even though he admitted a couple minutes earlier that napster existed 20 years ago. Some talk here or there about encryption, again old hat.
[programmer BS talk]
How does this relate to "3.0" at all? How does this change how the user interacts with the internet? It won't. 2.0 was a major change because the common man could submit content, a huge change from the largely read-only nature of the earlier internet. Privacy? Unrelated, and people don't care about it.
To me this looks like a reason to justify the energy-wasting, environment-destroying pyramid scheme called crypto. The guy is probably a /biz/ or /g/ memer, the images he uses seem to go along with it.
When a headline asks a question the answer is always going to be negative because if the writer was confident it wouldn't be a question. Youtubers seem to follow the same rule.

Web3.0 is an eternal retcon of itself

I certainly don't think the web 3.0 people are talking about is something. Not only that but I don't even think it's wanted at all. Your average person doesn't care if the websites he is using are decentralised or not, well actually if anything they probably lean towards centralisation not away from it.

However, I do think there is going to be a web 3.0 but that is going to be AR/VR and the internet of things.

Average joe didn't care that he could get his plumbing instructions by watching youtube videos. Though I'm not sure he cares about NFT grifters and buying things through crypto (though it's worth pointing out that paypal is very very very very bad and will withhold thousands of dollars in funding somewhat arbitrarily while it's competitors such as stripe are not globally accesible)
