Reply to comment by [deleted] in Is there a limit to the number of sounds you can hear simultaneously? by xXxjayceexXx
Is it just a limit to the ear's capabilities to pick up the sounds, or are there also limits to the number of audio inputs our brains can process simultaneously?
Like, even if the ear picks up all the noise, can our brain only really recognize and parse x number of them at a time?

Most other species use much safer antigravity tech. So they are appalled to learn that we basically propel ourselves into space with explosions. by UndyingCorn

A mournful dirge begins, tear-jerking choirs harmonizing with a soaring violin, bespeaking tragedies and losses known by none for generations.
A hand slowly raises, a small brick of pure deletion gripped tight in white-knuckled fingers. It moves across the snowy plaque, erasing a single line from existence before another hand shakily replaces it with an oval.
The "Days Since 'Humans are Space-Orcs Prompt'" counter has been reset from 1 to 0.
The children weep.

Reply to comment by lacergunn in [WP] No one courts death like a human. They eat food that evolved to be toxic, ingest known poison for recreation, engage in potentially lethal sport for fun, and have an incredibly high risk tolerance. On the galactic stage they are feared, admired, and generally considered crazy. by SeriousGoofball
sadly resets the counter to "0 Days Since" as the violins swell, the tragic melody of the piano sweeping away dreams of one day seeing the counter rise above "1"

Reply to comment by ClubChaos in A YouTuber tricked an MMA fighter into sharing allegations that 20 crypto projects he plugged were scams by TheINTL
That's a pretty broad statement and very clearly isn't true. Not "everyone" knows the risks. People gamble, invest, and spend money on things all the time without bothering to learn the risks. There are still people who thinking vaping nicotine is less addictive than smoking cigarettes, still people losing their life savings in Vegas.
And you might make the claim that they're idiots who are the exception, not the rule, but I'm not sure the stats agree. Either way, there are plenty of folks who would gladly take huge risks without truly understanding the stakes, and if even one of them has seen this dude's vids and rethought their next move, then he's done someone a serious service.
Another YouTuber, Ann Reardon, started with just cooking vids, then started debunking fake viral cooking hacks, then branched out into debunking or challenging other trends. She covered electric wood burning (I feel like there's a name for it but it escapes me right now) and how and why certain how-to videos were immensely dangerous. People died replicating them, and many other people chose not to because she shed light on that.

Reply to comment by Nonalyth in [WP] The witch demanded the customary price for helping the royal family, the first born son of the queen, as payment. Little did she know that the realm's society is matriarchal in nature and so controlling the first born son of the queen is of no use to the witch at all. by Kitty_Fuchs
I also love the idea of the queen being like, "Meh, he'd never get the throne anyway. TAKE MY CHILD."

I'm always baffled when I see an old Tumblr post totally recycled into a WP. I know it's not theft, technically, but it feels disingenuous.

Cybernetic enhancements and prosthetics are common, and advanced models have minor AI programming to make them better at certain tasks. One day, someone gets bored and decides to see what happens if they combined a number of such advanced prosthetics, only to find they've accidentally created the world's first true AI in an exceptionally capable body.
