and the weighing is the entire problem.

It's also the fundamental value prop.

I've noticed this too, and I imagine it must be a side effect of Lemmy's largest value prop having an outsized appeal to autistic people.

What's more concerning is when a society is populated by people who have take the most facile understanding of a position, and then go about confidently as if they understand it. Like, say, if a news article has a rage porn headline and then people don't read it to understand what actually was going on but make comments on websites as if there was no nuance to the subject whatsoever. ... Very concerning.

If only there were an article we could read that makes this clear...

Ha I was writing another comment on this thread when this got posted, but I just feel like it's important, relevant to that, to say that the hairs didn't evolve FOR any specific purpose.

This is funny, and really speaks to a fundamental issue we have during education as to assigning agency for what amount to"random" events.

OP is presumably educated and intelligent, and the takeaway they had was that bees "are pollinators" which is true with regard to our interest in them, but definitely implies agency that they are intentionally pollinating, which (I am pretty sure) isn't true.

It feels like the same question that gets asked in a million different ways of "why did XYZ evolve that way when ABCD?" (Because evolution is random and tends toward selecting for energy conservation. Not to "achieve" some specific goal.)

I don't know why, but this big complex pipe structure was situated above the urinal. When you flush, the red light goes off and the green light goes on, and all the pressure dials start going crazy.
